Normal service has been resumed...

I had noticed that in recent days, this website had started to produce quite a few occasional '502: Bad Gateway' errors. This morning, it turned into a veritable flood, to the point where I literally could barely write anything without triggering one. I have accordingly spent a long 5+ hours trying to get things back on to an even keel, all ultimately without success. In a fit of desperation, I moved my entire website out of a Proxmox container and back onto physical hardware (albeit quite slow physical hardware!)

I trust that if you're reading this, it demonstrates that the move has achieved its goal of getting the site back online and in good order. My apologies for the outage. It does, unfortunately, mean that the raft of software updates I was planning for in the next day or two will have to be bumped back a bit (maybe a week).
