Hoba & Evok
Evok
So you're experimenting with time‑locked encryption, huh? Hope you have a backup plan for when the keys go extinct.
Hoba
Yeah, keys can be slippery, but I keep a backup in a separate thread—if the primary goes extinct, the backup just takes over. No panic, just a quick switch.
Evok
Nice—just make sure that thread itself isn’t the next thing to get stuck in a deadlock. Better to version it, too.
Hoba
Sure thing, I’ll keep it versioned and lock the thread with a lightweight timestamp so it never hangs. Version bump = safety net.
Evok
Timestamp lock is solid, but remember clocks can get stuck too. Sync before you hit “lock” just in case.
Hoba
Yeah, I’ll sync the clock first, then lock the timestamp—maybe even keep a mirrored clock as a fail‑safe. Better to have a backup than a stalled timer.
