It’s so weird how antivaxxers have gone from being on the fringe of the left wing to the mainstream of the GOP

DreamHost migrated my main VPS with no hiccups…

In other news, #DreamHost migrated my main VPS with no hiccups as near as I can tell. I had to manually launch Agate for my #gemini capsule, but I suspect that’s only because they brought up the new system before moving the users over to it.

Here’s hoping it’s more stable than the Nginx one. I think I may just not have allocated enough RAM to the Nginx box, since the new plans don’t let me choose in-between sizes like 1.2 GB, 1.7GB etc. like the old plans did. The VPSes both ran rock solid for years, but DreamHost’s nginx support has always seemed like an afterthought.

I’m probably going to drop the Nginx VPS at some point. I just need to decide what to do with the last remaining site on it: Consolidate on the Apache VPS (possibly with more RAM), or set up a dedicated Nanode and manage it myself (and find out what resources it actually needs on a lighter-weight system)

Federated wiki?

Found something that’s allegedly a federated wiki, but the logo being an eagle superimposed on the letter Q sent up a red flag, the example news feed being a mix of tech and right-wing sites sent up another, and the fact that 90% of the search for the hashtag came up with posts by accounts with the same name on different sites including gleasonator sent up a third.

Yeah….NOPE
