".hosts boot loop"
Sounds like an interesting tech story, which I have not heard before. But maybe I'm mistaken.
When I tried to google it I just got lots and lots of people with boot loop issues on Windows, because searching is broken now.
So i though I asked for some details.

@tant@nrw.social ah. That. There is no story. It just has to do with the order of booting machines in a cluster who refer to each other in each others' .hosts file. There are many boot orders that wedge in unexpected ways. Ultimately you kind of work out through experience which machines to boot when. During a power failure this can be a thing.
