whatsnew<\/code> I have written some new subroutines for whatsnew, but it doesn’t really take us forward. interestingly I could not get comm to work, so wrote my own.

If so, should I refresh the current one, buy a new one<\/a>, or switch to AWS? I have a Pi 3, Model B Rev 1.2. Is there a version of the OS that is not hardware backward compatible<\/a>, (looks like its OK, by Google Gemini), and how can I back up the system or just the web site<\/a> and particularly the transmission files and configuration? The web site has a dev version, and I have backed its source up into a github repo. \n

- if I rebuild the site, I should encapsulate it in a docker container, for which I need to learn how to install my certs, and run the service as a daemon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- and encapsulate the source in github repo, or download the theme from a github repo. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- if I go with AWS, maybe I should move davelevy.info to AWS, the IONOS performance is not good. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
