SLOs Can’t Catch a Black Swan: A Classification Framework for Thinking About Incidents -Geoff White
"Your SLOs can be green, and your systems can still be falling over. That doesn’t mean SLOs are broken. It means they were never designed to describe every class of risk we encounter in complex systems.

Internet recovery is failing, possibly because the SSD isn’t partitioned right (which is hinted at that while it boots into target disk mode I don’t see any disk when connected to it).
