All the PiStorm stuff is on hold today as it's server upgrade time.
I didn't notice that the distro release I am using went out of support three weeks ago so I won't get the PHP fix. So, time to bite the bullet and do an upgrade to the next version. Full back-up to external disk first though, then I have the recreate the upgrade script I used to use at work. *sigh*
Oh, the new PiStorm board arrived yesterday and... it has similar issues to my original one.. seemingly too slow.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: General Stuff(tm)
And finished...
That was "fun". I had to use a few symlinks to point to new library versions for some of my local executables. I can rebuild them later. Fail2ban refused to run with a cryptic error until I found that there was no default ban action, which didn't seem to worry the previous version. Also somehow the mysql database got corrupted even though I'd shut down the server before I did the back-up or anything. Thankfully I have a nightly dump so I could start again with a new database and reload the dump.
*phew*
It's working well enough now... and PHP is up to date with a version built yesterday.
