Barring objections, I plan to have the Board down for about an hour starting around 17:00 UTC (aka 1 PM New York, 12 PM Chicago, and 10 AM Seattle) to perform system updates that're needed to fix the search system (and touch up some security bugs)
If something goes horribly wrong, announcements will be available on the backup RP Board (did you know we had one?) and the Discord.
Please rest assured that there'll be extra backups taken before I go messing with anything.

I don't know a lot about the kind of tech wizardry you get up to, but I appreciate it.

What's changed (new search stuff) by

Most of the changes I've just done are rather behind-the-scenes affairs, and so shouldn't be visible.
The main change is that our search is now a bit less off
- Results are now sorted in chronological order. If people want an option to stop doing that, let me know.
- You can use richer search queries, such as
Nume | Ilrean(to search for either of the two) or"Exact phrases"

That's going to make searching a whole lot easier, and thanks for getting it done so smoothly.

Part of the delay was me waiting for folks to double-check my work, but the relevant folks have been busy lately so I just went and pulled the trigger on all this.
Most of the downtime wasn't actually directly related to the search change, but more a result of "hold on, we're running an OS version that's four years old at this point, I should do something about that while I'm here".

That will be fine, as I won't be on anyway because I'll be at church. (nm) by
