 <ul>
  <li>2024-02-11: EPIC emergency server migration 🤯 
    <ul>
      <li>Baikal (our old server) could no longer handle the load, was constantly crashing</li>
      <li>Rathouse (our NEW server) was already racked up and ready to go</li>
      <li>We wanted to wait until we could get Virtual Machine disk snapshots working on the new system before we migrated... but real life had other plans for us</li>
      <li>We no longer have automatic backups. Sorry. We are working on it.</li>
      <li>On the bright side, the new server is faster, has much more reliable disks, 
        and they are configured in a way that should give you better performance.</li>
      <li>Capsul was fully down for about a day and a half.</li>
    </ul> 
   </li>
