Update on my website maintenance woes: My websites had been down for the last 12 hours or so, so I decided to look on some way to restart them. Then I found a button in my provider's administration interface that purged all objects in my "Varnish Cache". I remembered that the "Varnish Cache" came up from time to time in the error messages, so I clicked it.

And my websites were suddenly online again.

This is an obvious improvement to my prior situation, and gives me hope that this trick will work in the future as well. But I would like to understand what the actual problem was (beyond it having to do with the Varnish Cache), so that maybe I can prevent from reoccurring in the future in the first place.

I don't want this to become another "sacrifice a black goat at midnight" thing, like with certain aspects of my #TeXLaTeX installation - where I know that some things will work, but not _why_ they work.

Goal for this weekend:

Finish the #TeXLaTeX typesetting for this month's translations, three weeks early.

After that, I shall see. There's an article to write, a book manuscript to rework, and of course I should get started on December's translations (as usual for this time of the year, more Wild Hunt stories!), since I will be away on vacation after December 20th and won't be able to do further typesetting.
