Same here. I ran a kitchen server precisely like that (minus the sign) but on a carpet?

(as another commenter said: even if you just moved in, you put it on a box or something)

Yes, I also used to run an “on premise” server - in my kitchen, not 500km away. I sometimes might need to admin it remotely, but never critical setup work.
And the meme makes it sound like they have to drive there specifically to fix it, like nobody is actually living nearby.

Don’t practically all commercial hosting providers provide remote console access?

This seems a combo of an extremely newb mistake in an extremely unusual scenario - worthy of Gru I guess.

Many hosting providers have a remote console feature.

By creating new protocols that then become new quasi-standards that every system has to integrate because “everybody else does it too”?

(and yeah this one is a joke - ridiculing something that really exists by exaggerating it)
