Ok.

Move to EC2.

Darn AWS is down.

Alright, run it on a Mac Mini in your basement. Ahh dawn, your ISP is having issues. Good thing you have a backup 5G hotspot.

Maybe we need a split between source management and distribution? The former looks like git[hub] to me, the latter maybe more like a Linux distro repo?
