- The author's VM hosting their website on Slackware 14.2 (released in 2016) became inaccessible via SSH, prompting an emergency migration.
- The website has been moved to OpenBSD.amsterdam, a hosting service that runs pure OpenBSD and supports the OpenBSD Foundation.
- Key changes included switching from Apache to OpenBSD's native httpd server and addressing URL formatting issues (e.g., adding .html extensions).
- The migration involved setting up URL rewriting rules, fixing internal links, and obtaining new Let’s Encrypt certificates after DNS changes.
- Despite the rushed transition, the author is pleased with the move to OpenBSD, valuing its minimalism, security, and up-to-date nature.
