Nodes go offline when the timing slides too far, especially if you are using Munge. - authentication system - in our case ipa/sssd. Without that, even the queued jobs will fail.

Apocalyptic civics is the insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we panic about it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have failed and our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we are creative agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is the conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way through is together. " *Greg Bloom* @greggish https://twitter.com/greggish/status/873177525903609857
