Until today, all my stuff was on a shared host. Didn’t matter much for this blog, but trying to run Rails applications on prehistoric technology like FastCGI got tiresome quickly. In addition, the server I was hosted on was frequently having issues since a few weeks (at one point, I witnessed it showcasing a load average of 240 
something was filling up all memory and swap space, I think). So I decided it was time for me to get myself a proper hosting account: this blog is now hosted on a VPS 
Migrating WordPress blogs sure could be easier. I used this guide, but I had to change some URLs in the database manually before everything would work properly. Ah well, it could have been worse! I will also try to finish the stylesheet and add some cosmetic improvements in the near future. I don’t know if anybody has noticed, but the archive pages are mess right now. I also need to tweak things a bit further to balance reasonable performance with memory usage. Apache is such a hog. As a consequence, the server will probably be down occasionally in the next few days. My apologies on beforehand if this bothers anybody.
So yeah. Update your bookmarks (ha ha). http://code.lemuria-nation.net/ is now http://benanne.net/code/! I have installed a redirect at the old location, but I don’t plan on renewing that domain, so it’ll be gone in a month or so.
Seeing as this is just a short note to let everybody know about the move, I can throw in some completely unrelated stuff: read Abstruse Goose. It’s awesome! Also check out Brendan Gregg’s collection of special sysadmin tools!
There, that’s it. Don’t worry, my next post will be chock-full of code again
