I used to do remote work in firewalls quite often, and after locking myself out once or twice, I came up with a new habit: before making any changes I would schedule a reboot for 5min out which would revert any changes. That way if I locked myself out I could just wait for the reboot and get back in.

‘sleep 300 && init 6’ was my go-to, but since then systemd has made firing init 6 unreliable (it won’t trigger a reboot locally if root has an open ssh session, at least on Ubuntu).
