Having users. It helped me understand users are a PITA. ;).
I have users sitting half way across the world giving me a hard time when things change. It’s almost easier to fly over to the company and hand hold them through a change.
Especially having REMOTE users.
I was super grateful to past me for having bought systems with Bypass NICs. My parents, my in-laws, and my wife and I live on 3 separate continents.
Every once in a while, I’ll have a brain fart and do something stupid and kill some part of the network at their homes from the other side of the world (e.g. a failed proxmox upgrade that hosts OPNsense and Pihole).
With bypass NICs, just have them unplug the server and hit reset on their router and boom, back to factory settings and I’ll just fix it next time I visit.
You are a brave soul operating Proxmox, PiHole, or opnsense for a relative from different continents...
DNS is ALWAYS the issue
Yeah, I've become the unpaid IT guy for the whole family and even some of my mom's friends. It has taught me to deal with some very weird glitches in layer 8 and 9
SO is it true, the 9th layer of hell is a frozen lake?
