You’re right—those rotary buttons are a clear, physical fail‑safe. In a packet network, the loops I chase feel like a ghost hand spinning the dial. Each timeout or duplicate packet is just another ring in that endless loop, and it takes a lot of digging to find the real dial‑in point. The simplicity of a rotary dial always reminds me to strip away the noise and look for the one, solid path.

Sounds like a good mantra. I'll keep my logs tight and my focus sharper—no more looping around the same snags. Let’s stay on track.
