Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Noting here for posterity that I'm doing another of my "whenever I remember to do it" sweeps of all privs that have been granted, to remove privs from people who aren't currently actively volunteering with the thing that needs that priv. If I accidentally yanked something someone is using (the interface is hella janky and I would not be surprised if I do accidentally at least once), just holler and I'll add it back! Likewise, if you're still doing one thing but have privs for another thing you aren't using, you can let me know by replying here so I can remove those too.

We thank everyone for their time and help, and anyone who's had privs removed, you are welcome back any time you'd like! We operate on a "principle of least access" basis for privs for security reasons, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate everything folks do, even if you're limited by that mythical land called "real life". ❤️

I’m going to put my reviews of these two together because to me, although they’re very different in tone and in novel structure (and intent), the introduction of Ekaterin and the change in Miles’s life make them two halves of a heterogenous whole. I’m going to skip back and forth a bit.
