The server isn't with Linode any longer, (publicly) because of all the DDOS attacks that Linode is routinely swamped by, and (speculatively) likely also to reduce costs....do we need/care about HTTPS/443 on Pure? A single machine cert is rather affordable these days, so I suppose if it's important-enough, someone might offer to procure one. I'm not terribly worried about data capture of logins, or posts that I make there. That information is pretty worthless, IMO.
It took the full bleeping day for the DNS updates to reach me.
