After 13 years, the original host for this site died. Catastrophically refused to boot, kernel panics, unable to recover with any tool provided. Digital Ocean was great at assisting and providing tips to try. Unfortunately, nothing was able to save it.

I did manage to complete a migration using the recovery console, rsync’ing a bunch of stuff. Managed to not lose any of the posts. It was touch and go, especially since apparently JetBackup changed formats and stopped supporting the last backup file I had.

So after 13 years, we had our first real downtime. 6 days. That’s about .126% downtime. Not too bad for a freelancer.

I think I’m gonna start posting here more again. Lots of 3d printer projects, new fish tank stuff, all the good things.
