Extreme Measures
I just wrote a shell script that looks up a webpage, text-only formats it, and mails it to a specified e-mail address.
Why? SSH isn’t proxied or filtered (how would you filter near-“random line noise” on a specified port?). So, if the net is down here it’s likely the proxy server. And SSH therefore is likely okay, as is e-mail.
Meaning I can SSH into the home server and issue a command to fetch and send a webpage, which I receive via Outlook at work in a few seconds. Work can continue.
This is what they mean when they talk about burnout!
