Next hardware reset and automatic reorientation for Voyager 2 is October 15th. Yes the device automatically resets itself about four to five times a year. Communications are expected to be reestablished then.
In the meantime, they’re going to shout at it.
That’s good news! I was about to ask whether they have some absolute software recovery procedure and glad they do!
That’s great to know. This post made me weirdly depressed and was a bad way to start the morning lol.
Almost like real engineers planned for such an event!
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /starman is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported.Oh no, Linus Torvalds is gonna call me again

Sounds like it’s a recoverable error (if the scientists can’t do it the spacecraft has an automated process that’ll kick in in October.) Still, I can’t imagine what that must feel like.
I imagine they feel bad. Not really bad, like a loved one died, but pretty bad, like a passion they worked really hard for just fizzled out.
V2 be like: “WHAT did you say about my mother? F… you, Earth man.”
Mission control: “Dude you don’t have a mother it was a typo. Dude. Talk to me.”
seenMission control: “Dude.”
seenMission control: “C’mon man.”
This message could not be sent. V2 may have blocked your numberWikipedia states: “In July 2023, communication with Voyager 2 was lost when flight control pointed its antenna away from Earth, moving it by 2 degrees away from Earth. The NASA dish antenna in Canberra is being used to search for the space probe and will be used to saturate its location with commands to re-align the probe’s antenna in an attempt to re-establish the radio link. If NASA fails to contact the probe, it is expected that an automatic system on Voyager 2 will direct its dish toward Earth in October 2023.”
So essentially someone probably wanted to move it one way and it moved the other. It should automatically reposition itself in contact with NASA in 2 months. It’s amazing the foresight we had in 1977 to write in all sorts of catch-alls… In 2 months we’ll get back in contact with the probe and it will have its own place, hanging out with aliens.
Great that they included these automatic hardware resets. Way to go if your computer will never see a human or human-made thing ever again
When you ufw enable but forgot to whitelist port 22

Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?
Probably played with the firewall settings and accidentally disabled port 22… It sucked when I did that
Looks like someone removed the ssh keys
Tfw you conf t and shut a management port down on accident and don’t have a backup console connection
Patching recent ssh vulnerabilities I see
“Hello, we are fucked up, let us explain what happened and why is this not our fault”
Must have been an intern.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Someone ran ‘systemctl restart networking’ while SSH’d into the probe.
