IT Consultant from Germany, Linux enthusiast, BSD fanboy and firmly convinced that Ancient Domains of Mystery is the greatest video game of all time (and always will be). You'll find me here talking about Open Source, self-hosting, advanced networking (proud operator of AS201379), smart home shenanigans, and anything you can torment with a terminal. Cat pictures also welcome. Left, antifascist, vegan. The trifecta your uncle warned you about.

Funny deadlock situation... I’ve reached peak security on my remote MikroTik Router (AS201379).
By "peak security," I mean I’ve successfully locked everyone out - including myself. SSH, WWW, and WinBox are dark. Even the Hypervisor management is trapped behind the router's new, very effective, accidental firewall rules.
The data plane is running perfectly, which is the ultimate taunt. See you tomorrow for the 80-mile "Serial Cable Walk of Shame" to the datacenter.
This is a brutal reminder that the "Safe Mode" button in WinBox isn't just a feature. It’s a lifeline.
