       Newz from the front is I made my application to an independent
       living complex in Palmer and hope to make the transition over
       there in June.  The logistics are complicated as everything has
       to time out perfectly and I cannot move about freely on my own
       yet to prepare for the move.  Also funds are extremely tight
       since I had to bankrupt myself to get on Medicaid.
       The Senior Apt complex is called Whispering Winds.

       As you can see, it has Solar PV panels on the roof.  :)  You can
       read about the amenities and see more pics at the website.
       My prostate operation is set for May 19th.  Still no progress on
       the fake leg though. :(

       What has happened to the Doomsteaddiner.net site? It appears to
       have dropped off the DNS.
       Does the server / data exist still in any viable form, besides
       way-back machine, which has an entry for some time earlier this
       year?
       It was said to see RE declining in mobility. I traced your alias
       to this forum, and it is nice to read the unique conversation
       style was still going.
       I kind of hoped some one else would keep up the site.

       When I went into the Assisted Living Gulag I had no money to
       keep the site active.   Nobody volunteered to pony up the money
       to keep it live.  It is still on the server of course, but it
       will cost some money to reactivate it.

       I rent 2 linux servers hosted on linode.com , which have been
       bleeding my funds a little bit. Not as much as the various NGO
       and charity causes I support until the money runs out in a
       number of years. Hosting an extra account costs me no extra.
       The bandwidth allowance is generous, the RAM is 4GB, hardisk
       storage total 80GB.
       I don't actually earn anything, its from retirement savings.
       They host run a few low volume websites, eg
  HTML https://parracan.org
       . (Parramatta Climate Action Network).
       My retirement hobby is maintaining the servers, writing the
       scripts, updating the PHP framework, and thereby being free to
       feel useful.
       They are setup as ISPCONFIG, so client accounts can be set up
       for access.
       So what I would need is the last database, image and scripts
       backup.

       Well I took backups of course. Exactly where they are now I am
       not sure. I lost track of that in the move. If I were to restart
       it probably the best way would be to reactivate the site take a
       new backup and then transfer it. But I am not all together sure
       I really want to do this. It's a lot of work and right now my
       internet connection sucks.

       I'm sure you are absolutely right from your point of view, and
       you know
       know more than most about the time and effort involved.
       How much money? For a briefest reactivation? (time period?)
       Who was the ISP?
       Doesn't have to be the highest performance and capability. It
       seems like it was a shared hosting service.
       I guess some technician has to click a few buttons to restore
       their last backup.
       Did you have SSH access?
       Could I get access to this directly?
       My internet connection is 50 / 20 mbs, which is the standard NBN
       package around Australia.
       Although the links between Australian and Alaska could be very
       slow.
       I guess you have to use a slow institutional shared wifi that
       sucks.
       Not even enough for a satisfactory zoom meeting?
       But enough for web access and email.
       An actual server move would require changing the IP address for
       the Domain.
       It seems to be as much hassle to wrest a domain as to move the
       contents of a server.
       Also I would have to change the real host name on one of my
       servers for reverse DNS lookup to work for email.
       The work to do is always bigger and longer than imagined and
       never ends.
       Therefore its best to deny and underestimate, I am good at that,
       otherwise I'd never commit.
       And then it takes a long to time to give up.
