Please, in the name of #idempotence

On a particular #rockylinux machine (others seem fine), #saltstack has trouble enabling a service:

"The named service systemd-timesyncd is not available"

Trouble is: after I typed "systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd", the salt state (service.enabled) works forever (re-enabling ok). If I mask the service, the error is different.

Could it be an implicit "daemon-reload" when typing or something fishy like this?

#Mastodon needs an #idempotence marker for toots.

Just had a Publish timeout, so I naturally retried.
Et voila: duplicate toots.

I'm kinda disappointed a network-failure-aware system doesn't already have this. Or maybe it does and the mastodon app doesn't use it?

(This one just timed out too. Will I get a dupe?)

Can there not be some kind of async callback after a timeout to check if the operation succeeded after all?
