Techrights-secNo.  SN went under between now and then.  The whole site had to be restoredMay 21 14:25
Techrights-secfrom backup.  But due to the disk filling (which caused the failure)May 21 14:25
Techrights-secthe last good backup was from 14 Apr.  So that link is no longer valid   :(May 21 14:25
schestowitz__Lesson for us to learn from... cautionary taleMay 21 14:25
Techrights-secYes, IIRC there were some hints of the impending doom but there have May 21 14:26

Techrights-secI think they can hang on, but there is a global shortage of skilled people.May 21 14:29
Techrights-secAnd the disk failure was a sore blow.  They are back up for now.May 21 14:29
Techrights-sec(BTW the offer still stands to chip in for the OS upgrade and HTTPS)May 21 14:29
schestowitz__This will likely happen some day, when kaniini is bored enough at work to have a go at it. We already have a self-signed cert, we can for now get a newer one that is not expired if you want to have a go at it? kaniini configured the site to serve over httpd, but the the cert is oldMay 21 14:30
Techrights-secMy system administration style is a little hamfisted for a running site...May 21 14:31
schestowitz__worst cases scenario, we replace one 'bad' cert with another... I don't think any packages need to be installed. It's maybe just one command away... May 21 14:32

schestowitz__There aren't any states left where you can get married if you're under 16. Some are 18, 19, or even 21.May 21 14:59
schestowitz__In the cases where under 16-18 is allowed, it requires either a parent, a judge, or both to sign off on it, and in most cases it says you can't be more than 5 years older than the person you're trying to marry.May 21 14:59

schestowitz__You know that I wouldn't even exist had there been no "child marriage" in Indiana. My dad was 21 when he married my mom. She was 17. His parents signed off on it and the judge said OK.May 21 14:59
