QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?
I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router's Web interface.

No. My network is firewalled and the only way into it is physically being on it.

@mckinley I used to have an SSH port reachable from the outside, but since I’m doing 99.999999% working-from-home now, I no longer need that. (I don’t even have a desk at the office anymore and – and this is important for us Germans! – no parking spot, either! 😅)

@movq I work entirely remotely myself too, so I don't really need this level of remote access either.

@prologic There's no remote administration in the Mills DC? Not even through a VPN?
@prologic I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I'm not at home I can't resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That's what the hidden service is for.
Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn't happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.
@mckinley I just accept that if shit™ breaks, there ain't much I can do about it until I can. So that forces me to automate things as much as possible.

You mean to say you have the same public IP all the time? For 2.5 years now? Without paying extra? 🤔

@movq not uncommon. I have mine for the last 4+ years.
@bender Heh, crazy. Here in Germany, they make you pay good extra money for that. I get a new IP every time my router connects to the internet.

@movq Right. It's nice. I've had the same one through numerous router restarts and at least two 4-6 hour power outages. I'm definitely not paying for a wildly inflated business plan to self-host a few things. It was like that on my last ISP as well, although they only gave me about 20mbps up.
