Yeah, I'm imagining that new people would just be people existing members sucked in.

Though, y'know, it's the internet. One can never know when a board or a person will become a subject of interest to one of the internet's cesspools. And in these cases, rare as they might be, an option to quickly block an influx of people might come in handy.

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

Point.

I'm planning to start working on porting over the static content as-is as legacy content and then perhaps making some new pages with stuff that doesn't seem dated.

I created a repo for porting the legacy pages and started converting them to static pages. The repo is at [link] Anybody who is a member of the borg2 repo was added to this new repo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Got this from DreamHost:

Hi, DreamHoster!

This is a followup to our previous email, "Outdated PHP Version Detected". During a scan of accounts for outdated or insecure software on your VPS we detected old, out-of-date PHP versions, including the following on your DreamHost account:

buffistas.com - PHP v: 56 - VPS: ps189917
buffistas.org - PHP v: 56 - VPS: ps189917
filk.buffistas.org - PHP v: 56 - VPS: ps189917
buffistas.net - PHP v: 56 - VPS: ps189917

To improve the overall security of your VPS, we are phasing out these older versions of PHP.

On August 18, 2020, we will be upgrading PHP 5.6, 7.0, and 7.1 to PHP 7.2 on your VPS.

If you would like to perform a PHP upgrade on your own before that date, go for it! If your site is a WordPress site, here is the guide we provided in the prior email: Upgrading your WordPress site to the latest PHP version

If your site does not work as expected after the upgrade, you can reverse the PHP version change in your account control panel! Outdated versions of PHP will still be available in your panel for a few more weeks until your VPS is fully upgraded. This will allow you some extra time to ensure your site's code is up-to-date and compatible with PHP 7.2.

You'll hear from us again once we've completed the upgrade with a separate email for each hosted site we upgrade for you. If there's anything else we can do for you, please reply directly back to this email.

Thanks!

I don't think this will go smoothy.

I think we'll need to turn on the extension and I to make an effort to get things ready to move. I don't think we can make the jump from PHP 5.6 to 7.2.

Hey. New board.

I think it's time to move. There will certainly be issues, but we can find and solve them much more efficiently once we're all in. I'm happy to be re-added to source code repositories etc to help solve little bugs as I'm able, though big stuff will be over my head in Ruby.

I'm guessing we haven't switched to PHP 7.2 yet. If we have, I'm kinda amazed that things aren't breaking left and right.
