Can I get a mod to delete the link in my previous comment. The Yay before that was in response to Fabby's comment and not to the Link. I am not trying to show that I am a cold hearted SOB. Thank you!

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy @Zanna @cl-netbox haven't seen you guys since I got some internet running here.. How are things going with you? What has been up? :)

Q: On one 16.04 system, apache never restarts automatically after apache update -- other systems are fine

Among a cluster of servers all running 16.04 and apache, on one system apache never restarts automatically after it has been upgraded via apt. It restarts fine manually, and at boot. All of the other systems at the same OS and app levels don't have this problem -- apache always restarts automatic...

Q: How to find posts with tag

I keep finding things with the code tag or the pre tag instead of four spaces or inline code formatting. I want to find these and fix them, replacing them with the better code formatting of the um well formatting. I want to be able to search for this. How can I do this?

I have installed a certificate and its private key in a server: the certs (root self signed and intermediate) in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates and the private key in /etc/ssl/private (is this ok? the certs get moved by update-ca-certificates but the key was installed directly in /etc/ssl).

@cl-netbox 100mbps theoretical (they hardly deliver exactly the speed they sell, because of the laws that allow them to deliver a percentage of it)

But I don't need much speed since I'll do basic navegation, no gaming or anything, and I could use the cheaper fees of smaller speed packages..
