    Wonder why they moved to a different datacenter?

    It seems they rebuilt their software; they switched to a slightly old Apache and instead of having an expired SSL certificate they completely removed HTTPS. Perhaps they could install Certbot and add full HTTPS, as Linode servers handle HTTPS quite easily.
    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.

    Actually they moved it to a different Linode datacenter, but they did move away from the one that suffered the huge DDOS attack.
    As for HTTPS, it does have a forum with usernames and passwords, and a certificate for a VPS can be obtained for free at letsencrypt.org
    I think the Certbot software can even automatically configure the Apache server.
