- Comment on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. 2 days ago:
That reminds me of the old story where they positioned a PC opposite from the server and taped a pen to the CD drive so that opening the CD tray presses the reset button of the server. The PC would automatically detect when the server freezes and open the CD tray. Probably just a legend but still a great example for how a silly and simple solution that just works can often times be as good if not better than a sophisticated but over engineered solution
