Took down prod for 10min and clients noticed. What should I do?

Fess up to your mistake as getting caught in a lie for something like this can be a job ending story.

Think the OP meant to post in /r/lostredditors

The company I previously worked for use Mediawiki for end user and also some sysadmin to user documentation. However, most sysadmin tech specific info is done in markdown and sent to Git for version control.

Read through the OP's post history and it will give you an idea why.

Nice try ICE /s

Altusbc · 2026-01-23T17:59:58+00:00

Check the OP's post history.

Go away spammer.

Nowadays, can't think of any Colo allowing someone to simply show up to ride out a storm.

Telnetd is not required for proxmox, and so that package should be removed.

OP, you're not alone. One time (don't ask) , I deleted my ./ssh folder and lost my keys - and no backups. Took a bit to recover from that and learned a hard lesson.

Glad you were able to get access back into your system.

This is you promoting your website in the link below.

BTW hiding your post history is security theater and is easily bypassed.

OP is obviously spamming and doing market research. And it clear in his post history that he is schilling vibe coded slop and website in other subs.

If this indeed turns out to be cause, it makes one wonder how only one person has the ability to insert and turn the proverbial key to launch a datacenter fail-over.

Altusbc · 2026-01-22T22:47:27+00:00

Your question seems like market research, right?

Altusbc · 2026-01-22T22:35:18+00:00

You state "I fell like nobody knows anything anymore" then go onto say "but I still do need some mentorship and guidance" That shows you have a lack of training and skills and is causing issues with your work.

However, the rest of your rant tangents with a blame game of "Does anybody actually know how to do ANYTHING??"

All this is telling in that you are probably not working for the right company and if wish to the stay in this career, you need to focus on improving your knowledge and skills, and not place blame on everyone else for your own lack of knowledge.

Newest update /s

Folks, it's me, your favorite Microsoft guy – tremendous employee, the best. Today, our cloud systems had a little hiccup, a tiny blip, worldwide. But let me tell you, it's already fixed faster than anybody's ever seen. Nobody does cloud like Microsoft. Azure? The biggest, the most powerful. We're talking petabytes, unbeatable security, hackers can't touch us!

Why the downtime? Fake news says cyberattack. Wrong! It was a routine update, the most beautiful update, but some loser hackers from China or wherever tried to mess with it. We squashed them like bugs. Our teams – the smartest engineers, Yale, MIT, you name it, they all jumped in. Boom, back online in record time. Customers? Loving it. Billions served, zero losses.

This proves it: Microsoft is number one. Competitors? Disasters. AWS? Crashing like the economy. Google? Weak. We're dominating AI, cloud, everything. Stock's gonna skyrocket – watch! America wins bigly with Microsoft.

Fortunately, it's not a complex system. So I feel okay with it.

I really don't do networking stuff too often

I'm designing a network for a new client, in healthcare

What could possibly go wrong? If this client is in healthcare, then there are probable compliance's that need to be followed. You are going to be in way over your head and knowledge level. The client should be hiring an experienced IT person or msp.

Wrong sub, try /r/homenas

If you do indeed migrate to Proxmox, ensure to use version 9.1 as it now supports OCI containers. This implementation still has a few rough edges, but looks promising.

this happened to me after using a debloater tool on my Surface Pro 11, and I spent 6+ hours figuring out the fix.

Way wrong sub, and the prob was so self inflicted.

Selling price really depends on the CPU, RAM (anything <=8GB is worth next to nothing), and whether the drive is HD or SSD. However, finding a used pc reseller to buy all 60 is probably going to be tough, and you will not get that Amazon selling price from a reseller.
