The migration happened and well… it turns out that it was not as smooth as I expected. In particular, comments weren’t working at all due to a filesystem permission on the database (which meant nothing would get written at all). That is now fixed. Sorry for the problems.

To add problems over problems, I had a hardware failure (RAID card) last June, which wrecked the root filesystem and I had to reinstall everything from scratch. When I looked back to recover the last comment backup… Well… it wasn’t being backed up. I was able to recover the ones up to 2015-2016 or so because I had still my old Disqus export laying around.

Simply put, the previous solution was unmaintainable. “But,” you might say, “it was a static site generator! How could it become unmaintainable?”.
