Tuesday, June 30, 2026: 8:53 PM: This evening I used Copilot to help me review the HostGator VPS update message sent to my email and confirmed Apache (2.4.68, cPanel build) restarted normally with OpenSSL 3.5.5 and ModSecurity 2.9.13 active. The system applied several updates, including glibc 2.34 and a new Linux kernel. Initially, the new kernel wasn’t running, indicating a reboot was required.
After checking again, I verified the server is now running kernel 5.14.0-687.19.1.el9_8. Despite the joys of doing this with the JAWS for Windows 2026 and Windows PowerShell combination, the update process completed successfully.

A resident of Newtonian Gardens in New Jersey, he is a witch in the nontraditional sense: an explorer of consciousness, meditation, dreams, intuition, manifestation, and the strange territory where inner experience meets everyday reality. Accepting claims solely on the authority of a teacher, book or tradition isn’t in his DNA. His approach is experimental rather than prescriptive: he tries various techniques, observes what happens, journals, questions, and adjusts his practice accordingly. For him, witchcraft is a conscious practice of working with attention, intention, language, and intuition to explore personal transformation. He writes honestly about that ongoing experiment, sharing successes, failures, doubts, surprises, and unanswered questions here. He does not claim absolute answers as to what an experience means.
