I was trying to log into a #Mastodon client and the two factor authentication kept failing. SRE inside posited that it was probably a time issue since I logged in previously just fine.
Checked on the server and it was three minutes slow. The images at my hosting service really are bare minimum without ntp & ntpdate installed by default. Installed those and I am fine now.
Saturday fun.
