time to boot up that old, rusty and janky homelab pds again. this time i'll be conducting an experiment on current suspended accounts trying to move out of that pds. curious about the results...

The private key works! woo! ^o^ Unfortunately, you'd have to specify it in DID as it won't index your regular username and won't resolve back to your DID either.

I just realize that I also need to provide my own private signing key (the "verificationMethods" property inside my DID document) if I want to generate a service auth token offline. Will this affect the PDS ability to sign my repos or this key does not use at all? I don't know.

also typing the xrpc api manually on terminal like a caveman, for now. but hey, it's my PDS and docker doesn't play nicely with toolbox container. i have to manually run it without docker... twice!

it moved! yay! note to self: provide a PDS server rotation on DID document but put it at the last index. also, don't forget to change the signing key with the server-provided one when done migrating.

welp, time to put this janky PDS back to sleep.
