Moving VPS Again

May 4th, 2023

After a series of technical issues at my hosting provider (downtime on 2023-03-08, 2023-04-23, 2023-05-02, 2023-05-03) I've now moved the somewhat numerous sites I host over to Amazon Lightsail. It's slightly more expensive ($10/m vs $8.49/m, primarily driven by storage) but it should be more reliable.

I've moved everything over, but let me know if you notice anything isn't working.

I thought a bit about whether I'd like to go fully static and put this all on Github Pages, but I enjoy being able to play around with dynamic bits (like Shrubgrazer). And even for sites I manage that serve via Pages I still like having preview versions on my VPS here for easy development.
