   The limitipconn configuration had to be rewritten.
   
   This is what I get for not reading the readme much when I first set it up...

   Finally, I have obtained mod_limitipconn version 0.25!
   
   There was an IPv6 fix in that version, so Apache httpd will get the new version of this module.

   This server's HTML files now render as UTF-8 by default through the server's character set setting if they are not specified in the HTML file itself.

   Had to limit gitphp and gitlist to 2 connections per IP address.
   
   This solved the server resource eating issues for now. Will keep watching it periodically.

   Some PHP-FPM server tweaks on all installed versions of PHP...
   
   Also, eFiction patching went pretty well so far. Only real issue is review ratings abuse - difficult to patch without breaking posting reviews...

    Obtaining a more recent copy of URL2 (Net_URL2) made things work better. Yet another test post.

    ...It seems I have been compiling PHP 8.x without libzip support for quite a while.
    
    So, recompile time!

    Amusingly, PHP 8.5 and 8.6 was going to be recompiled after the Ubuntu 26.04.1 upgrade path, but PHP was updated before this, and that upgrade path is apparently ~2 weeks away... so this was to be done today.

    The MariaDB databases have been relocated to an old low-use, low-hour 60GB SATA 3.0 SSD, specifically the Kingston SKC300S - SKC300S37A60G.
    
    As a result, the MariaDB databases now respond faster than when they were on the RAID 5 setup. Ironically, they were historically located on the system drive long before the RAID setups were a thing... that would be from 2007 to mid-2011. Of course, the current system drive is also a SATA 3.0 (3.2) SSD...
