Server

Peek-a-boo! Yes, my server was down for a shade over two weeks, but it's back up now! I explained what happened, how the server fell, and how the server rose again. Later, I describe some of the research I've been doing on the land records of Joseph Hougendobler and his issue. Finally, I install the new Gramps 6.0.0 on Gentoo Linux via an ebuild that I modified myself.

It's been a slow news month, genealogy-wise, and I recorded a little too close to the deadline to create a proper ancestor spotlight. Here is a short episode detailing some of the goings on in my life, on the podcast, and on the server. These include a possible upcoming career change, a largely successful migration to YouTube Music, and a server software upgrade to Fedora 40. I close the episode by reading from the On This Day and Upcoming Events block of my Webtrees installation.

This month I managed to get my web server to send emails. I tell you about the history of my web server, alternatives to running your own web server, the challenges or running a web server, and lastly what I did to get automated emails up and running. It's not for the faint of heart, but for me it is a labor of love. Links in the show notes.
