• Ace went down due to a lost IP address - it just up and vanished from the container.  But all I had to do was put it back and things were fine.
  
  This server went down for almost the same reason - if I bind the IP that was used for the websites (separate from the main host IP) the host blinks in and out of existence.
  
  No idea why.  It's been running fine for years.  The host hasn't even been rebooted for three years, though the containers have.
  
  But that meant I couldn't log in to the host - or if I did log in, I didn't stay that way for very long.  And in the ensuing reboots we suffered some index corruption, and that required a repair, and that segfaulted.  Fun all the way down.
  
  Some of the individual sites might still be down, but all the data is intact and they'll be back soon.  And as I learned just now, the twice-daily backups do in fact work.
  
  
  
• Windows local privilege escalation vulnerability of the day.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  Yes, another one.

• Amazon's new game New World kills the RTX 3090.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  And I don't mean that it runs slowly even on the fastest graphics card you can get.  I mean it kills the RTX 3090 specifically.  Or certain models of it.
  
  Good luck getting a warranty replacement right now.
  
  
  
• Crystal has hit 1.1.  (Crystal)
  
  Not a huge amount of changes in this version, but they tried to get all the breaking changes in before 1.0, so that's exactly what they wanted.  Full Windows support is still pending.

  And we're only hearing about it now.
  
  
  
• The EU plans to ban arithmetic.  (BBC)
  
  They want to ban anonymous crypto wallets, but all a wallet is on many blockchains is a very, very large number that's hard to guess.
  
  
  
• Fuck systemd.  (ZDNet)
  
  Trying to escape all the Windows vulnerabilities by moving to Linux?  Too bad, now you have systemd vulnerabilities instead.
