On the plus side (?), now I'm trying to think of a way to backdoor my way in and I can't come up with any.

So a plaintext legacy system that was never designed to have any kind of security and is routinely intercepted by government agencies?

Of course, it’s not plaintext, and needs an extra 2fa token per command you issue (without reuse). Used it once when ISP died

The fallback before this one is SMS-activated SSH server on this host, if it still has internet over GPRS

Nice. Yeah, for the
@euskalencounter servers I run we have a 3G-based backdoor VPN for when the internet dies.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I should set up something like that at home...

Wouldn't help me with the current problem though (no way into laptop other than SSH), but it would help with network connectivity issues.

That still fails, maybe a port knock pattern that will restart it in the future? Had the same issue when an OOM-killer stopped sshd

Pretty sure the problem here was caused by an upgrade not liking the old config file, so a restart won't work either.

Well, then of course you need to install a robot you can control remotely to fix these issues
