do we want the config again? if not, use the magic 'skip config'

Is it possible the node rebooted due to a config change? Maybe getting the config again could be useful?
I'm looking around but cant find a reference to skip config

Replacing the random want_config_id with 69420 should do it 😀

Ya know I'd typed that in and thought, "there's no way it's that easy" and gave up. Also gave my wife a laugh with that one.
The connection reliability has been poor in my testing. Any lost connections result in an endless loop of "Got bad Magic"
