[kwlug-disc] baffled - how is this site working?

[Charles M]

Thanks Chris and Paul. As Chris mentioned I'd changed the Nameservers
from Gandi to Linode. Before I posted I used one of those "see how
your website looks to 6 sites around the world" services and it
actually appeared on all 6, so I figured the DNS transition was
happening faster than expected.

Early this morning I created an Apache config file for the chaslinux
web site and re-ran certbot to bring in all the variations of the
site. Thanks again!

Charles
