    now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do…

    “you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i’ll need you to power cycle it”

    2 hours later

    “oh i found it”

    vs.

    “you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair’s connected to”

      My company stopped using “named” servers and instances a whole ago, to be “more professional”.

      But of course, you fuck up “restart Maria DB n1h5” way more often than “restart Thor”. 😅

      You forgot:

      ‘oh I found it’ unplugs a machine in a completely different room
