While the blogs aren’t updated very often, at some point they stopped working an just displayed a 502 error.

If I’m being honest, I have not idea what happened. The old setup was incredibly convoluted: a CDN in front of an Amazon ALB, in front of an oversized EC2 instance, using EFS for storage and an RDS instance for the database. The site was extremely behind on updates, and relied on a couple of separate custom plugins to properly render everything. At some point something in the chain stopped working.

Rather than debug it, I did something I’ve wanted to do for ages: I ripped everything apart and just moved it to a cheap shared hosting account at Dathorn. (Where “cheap” refers to price, not quality. I love Dathorn.) I kept Bunny in front as a CDN, in large part because the blog is basically static these days and because my prepaid $25 account will still last more than a year at current traffic levels. I even fixed (I think?) an issue where the fonts on my blog were being pulled from a defunct @font-face provider. Don’t expect a flurry of updates here, but with any luck, the site will stay online now!
