Minor operations; testing new serving path

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

I always thought I would live-blog the apocalypse or whatever but it turns out that when you're too sick to regularly be awake or eat solid food, there's not much energy for poetry or valuable insight.

30-50% of people with Long COVID have me/CFS style symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion. The odds of your COVID infection causing lasting problems or never going fully away (aka long COVID) increase with every subsequent infection you have, whether you have symptoms at all or not.

Wear a mask in public or you will be too sick to do anything else.

I don't know that I really have much else to say. I suppose this space is where my end of life wishes will go, when I decline far enough.

I tried. I hope people remember that I tried.
