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!
Someone ran ‘systemctl restart networking’ while SSH’d into the probe.
Unrelated but I’ve been wondering this for years: What’s your avatar from and why do so many people across the web have that exact same one?
No idea, I found it somewhere a decade ago and have been using it. I think I’ve only seen someone with it like one other time. 🤷🏻♂️
I remember it used to be popular in gaming groups and some music around 2008-2012 and a lot of variations of the same gas mask character were made
The guy I know who uses gasmasks everywhere does it because it’s a fetish.
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
Linus calling you to belittle your management of the sudoers file is the FOSS form of swatting lol.

Wikipedia 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
You just need to reboot it manually
Just press and hold the power button smh
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 numberHello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?
That’s why your color your production windows red.
When you ufw enable but forgot to whitelist port 22

I bet you don’t simply send random commands to the probe. There are likely a dozen of people who need to approve literally every keystroke.
“I’m gonna click approve without looking because the tons of people before / after me must have / will review it.”
I’m gonna click approve without looking
… and at this moment it is no longer my problem. I have written evidence that I forwarded my command for approval.

Probably played with the firewall settings and accidentally disabled port 22… It sucked when I did that
There’s no going into the office to fix this one…
Looks like someone removed the ssh keys
UP ARROW!!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
