I assume some kind of 'reverse ssh' is a thing that exists, i.e. if I can ssh into the remote machine, I could attempt to configure and start a connection in the other direction from within that ssh session?
Find this post in the archive: :-)

Ah yes :-D
Hmm, took me a while to track down the exact post in the web archive, where the times are marginally different. I only keep 3 months' worth of ML posts in my personal email. Whilst I do 'star' relevant messages and those I create myself or contribute to, along with useful replies, and have the setting 'Always keep starred messages' checked, one of the few flaws I can cite in Thunderbird is that for some reason from time to time it likes to override or revert this setting and stick the middle finger up at me, so most of what I've ever tried to keep a copy of in the past has disappeared.
(that thread might have other interesting content for you) I keep email as mbox archives, accessed via my own local imap server (dovecot), so that I can read them with Thunderbird or Alpine or anything else. I do trust Alpine to keep archives, but not Thunderbird - so I use dovecot instead for both. In this case, the post I referred to was archived in a folder named "_important/ssh", so that it was trivial to find it. Just a grep for "reverse". :-) Locating it up on the web would take a bit longer, so I left that to you ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
