I needed to update/upgrade some components and could not get them to play along with the operating system of the server, neither upgrade the server as there were no viable upgrade path, I spun up a new virtual machine and installed whatever needed.
This move broke the blog when I switched over and just an hour ago I fixed the blog and upgraded everything, some 8 months of down time. No one complained during this time so it is possible no one is actually reading this.
Anyway, new posts will appear.
