    Default Site is back up! (Server Upgrade FINALLY Complete) Part Deux

    This time I think I got it right.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    I'm telling you, migrating to a totally different setting where it acts like you "own" a server is an entirely different experience. The main thing that takes forever is the database migration. Our database is getting hefty...



    Finally, and I ran two simultaneous backups and a gzip all at the same time as I was using the "thanks/groans" stuff and we never even hit 2% of the CPU... Hopefully this will work for a while.

    Some of y'all will need to reload avatars, if they were added using urls rather than uploading the images.
