And what do you do when your ssh server stops working, or there's a hardware fault, a network fault, a failed OS upgrade?

Idk about all machines ever, but I remember being able to access ssh over a serial port.

Though in that specific case for me, it was more of a necessity rather than just a quirky way of using ssh (due to the “machine” just being a dev board with a UART ESP32).

To access the serial port remotely you need to add hardware to bridge it to the network. Or you go up to the machine and plug in another computer with a keyboard and monitor to access it directly.
