The Website is back!

Apologies! Power went out during a thunderstorm, and when power came back, the webserver would not boot. The very long uptimes (a year or two or more) that the Linux kernel is capable of also means that Linux distros can make updates during those years (we're looking at you, systemd) that are incompatible with the running kernel. Unfortunately, a power outage is an inconvenient time to find out about the systemd invasion. The old server was unrecoverable; a new webserver was painfully put together. Running a server is not (supposed to be) hard, but there is a rather large quantity of things to install and configure correctly; sadly, this took much too long. But we're back (mostly). Expect a few more burps in the coming days, and smooth sailing after that.

• Ensure that the root account is saved to the SQL backend.
