As you may have noticed...
Rantburg access has been all over the place for the past few days. This is why I've put off moving the server for so long. Murphy's Law is immutable. Most of the things that could go wrong have gone wrong.
Step 1: Overwrite the drive containing all our backups. (Gasp. Call self an idiot.)
Step 2: Break the database, and I mean seriously... (Google mightily for a couple days to find a hint how to fix it. Observation: Most hints are bullsit.)
Step 3: Change DNS servers. (Been putting that off for a long time, because it’s dangerous.)
Step 4: Try and figure where the Burg disappeared to. (France, at one point.)
You get the idea. If you're reading this, you got here from https://grampaw.org/rantburg or you carefully entered https://www.rantburg.com, not https://rantburg.com. One works, the other doesn't, at least at the moment. Apache sez they both go to the same place, one's an alias for the other. (UPDATE: Next time I clicked on it the www link had ceased working. I hadn't done anything in the meantime...)
Anyway, I'm continuing to make repairs. I'm hoping not to break anything else. Thank you for your patience, assuming you have any left. I'm pretty short, myself. At least Apache and Postgresql are shut down on the old server so I can go get it.
