[sf-lug] work-around in place: Re: outage: balug.org, berkeleylug.com, sf-lug.org, ...

[Michael Paoli]

Work-around* in place.
So, things should be meta-stable for now.
Reduced redundancy at present.
Hopefully back to nominal redundancy
soonish (more hardware work to do).

*yanked storage, installed it on another
computer** for now, reconfigured
(because different Ethernet MAC addresses)
booted & running that for now
**https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=system:vicki_documentation
and that documentation is out-of-date,
vicki hasn't been nominal primary host for a long time.
It has only 2GiB of RAM, older CPUs, is rather loud
1U form factor, and sucks a lot of power
relative to what it does.  In any case,
for now the VM is atop that.
