linuxmafia.com scheduled outage Sunday 2023-09-03 10am-6pm* US/Pacific
*guestimated the outage will be approximately 4 hours +-, but have
scheduled 8 hour window "just in case".

Anyway, earlier this evening, Rick and I arranged and have planned for
that scheduled window.
So, e.g. sf-lug at linuxmafia.com will be offline**,
as will be everything using 96.95.217.99**
**It may be pingable during much of that time, but server processes will
be down for quiescent data consistent migration.

Other hosts/servers (e.g. [www.]sf-lug.org) are independent and generally
anticipated to continue to be online.

And, purpose of outage - migrate existing host from very old marginally
supportable hardware, to VM on much newer quite supportable hardware.
That will also give that host full RAID-1 data coverage (which is
redundancy, but is not backup).  In most other regards, the host
will remain the same (highly identical data for most everything,
VM virtual hardware about as similar as feasible to the existing
physical, etc.) ... at least on the shorter-term, anyway.
