While switching the server software I use, I got the redirection logic wrong, and some information that I normally wouldn't publish ended up visible.
thecshore.com Server Misconfiguration
If you visited any site ending in .thecshore.com, the record of your IP
address visiting this site was visible from about June to Aug 5
A number of email addresses from and to thecshore.com in 2018 and until
early 2019 have been visible. I will be attempting to determine exactly
what emails are impacted and to communicate with the affected parties.
To my knowledge the sites have not been compromised by a third
party/parties (crackers), despite the misconfiguration.
Lesson learned: Don't do stats generation locally; securely gather the
logs using an intermediate host, and only process and display on an
internal host.
General rule of thumb: Don't use a webserver for server private data as
well as public data. In this case the data are not ultra-sensitive, but
it's enough that I am reminded of why ‘the cloud’ is not a good place
for private data.
Add IE11 Support to OldNew mashup IE11 Used Too Much to Drop (Yet) Because too many people still use Internet Explorer 11, I have added support for IE11 back into the site's theme.

Plone vs. Hugo Target date/time By October 16, 2019 00:00:00 UTC
Delayed: At the latest it ought to be ready before the new year (Janurary 1, 2020).
Planned Post I've now built sites using a variety of static generation methods and participated in wikis and other's CMS systems, and was hosting a Plone instance (dynamic CMS), so I've decided, after a bit of Plone shakeout to post in September a comparison of the different (and similar) trials and tribulations of using open source solutions for dynamic vs static web content management.

Relay Mail from Localhost Using Postfix Purpose On a system on which we do not wish to have local mail, we need to relay locally-generated (system) mail to another host. This article discusses how to set that up.
Building Old Software on Armel on Linux x64 (amd64) Preliminaries We're going to use Debian's armel port for this exercise. We're using Debian Jessie for GCC4 support. If you need older GCC, then you need an appropriate OS, or to build a cross-compilation toolchain.
