yea it should sort itself out after a little bit - it’ll see the migration as a change and then should clear on the next post; but will have a look when I get home

does the rpi use vmlinuz-6.8.0-101-generic? no

so TIL I was separately remoted into the wrong machine

ok I think we're recovering

so the LAST time things broke I added a monitor and restart job and now I need to add a monitor and restart job monitor and restart job

yeah something is broken

some people might be seeing newer stuff, there's a cache so it might be flipping between broken (not refreshing) and not broken

oh stuff is broken I think cf went down and now things aren't coming back πŸ‘€

The maximum current through the power cord is 16A, and the maximum power used by the power strip is 3500W (can't be used for a long time).

idk much about electrical safety but I'm pretty sure this power board is all about insurance fraud

I think any model that has some kind of either consensus or verification can work - ultimately you just need to indicate "do not trust this source", and the ecosystem needs some alternatives to go to in that case

or at least from the new plc foundation - there are probably a bunch of workable scenarios, but they can't work without initial cooperation

22.02.2026 05:59 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

there are systems that could work - like CRL lists, and could introduce an external validation to the resolution (i.e. β€˜these 3 directories agree…’)

but in terms of β€˜take this record with me’, no I think you’re right

21.02.2026 22:20 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

it should be possible with an β€œI’m over there” entry, but in the adversarial case they may just not publish that - so you also need a PDS attestation or smth, and means to re-point records which is where it gets complex because you have to care for *every* record (client caches, etc - very messy)

plc credible exit is really the only decentralisation that matters at this point, every other service is just a function of time

I think at some point we're going to need standard paths between different did: ecosystems - even if it's just some way to say "I am over there now, look: my keys match"
