(Sticky) Meta: Migration 0
The operating system of the VPS (virtual private server) provided by my hosting provider has reached EOL (end of life). Sometime soon, my hosting provider will migrate this site to a new, currently supported OS.
This site may be unavailable for a bit, hopefully for no more than a few hours. But it will not go away.
Update 2023-12-23:
I have been notified that migration is scheduled for December 28. Expect little or no posting on that day.
If all goes well, normal (?) activity will resume with minimal interruption.
Update:
Per a message from my hosting provider that “maintenance” will be performed on my server on the afternoon of Wednesday, December 6, I suspect that that’s the day. They did not specify the nature of the “maintenance,” but I got a dollar to a doughnut . . . . Apparently, I lost that bet.
