Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hey. New board.
I might screenshot this page for my computer science class. "See? People really do have to know this encoding stuff!"

Thanks.
Expect the beta site to have spotty availability for awhile as things move over to the a new server.
I provisioned a $18 a month VM for the new board and database. If that's not enough, we can increase the specs. This one is 2GB of RAM, 2 CPUs, and 60 GB of storage with automatic backup.
To have access to the server, I'll need a public SSH key to install it. (This can be done via the DO account as well if you are a member). I created a buffista user account and I can share the password through LastPass sharing, or using GPG, or private upload location, whatever secure method works.

Got DNS, firewall (via DO settings), nginx, ruby, puma, and SSL configured for (www.)buffistas.me on the new server. More importantly, I updated the README for how to do all of it so it can be done quickly for (www.)buffistas.org when the time comes. Well, we should just have to update the certs and nginx configuration for that.

Anyhow, the new test site will be www.buffistas.me
Right now it's just the nginx test page. I still need to set up the rails site, migrate data, and configure the reverse proxy.

No need for money right now. The transition won't cost anything. It sounds like overall expense will be less overall, though that will depend on server load. It's hard to imagine it will be more though.
I need to update the deployment notes, but the beta site is back. Now it's at www.buffistas.me.
The database has been newly migrated so if you will have to reactive your account even if you already did on the previous beta site.
