08:23 Techrights-sec; Maybe just port over the old WordPress stuff as-is.
08:23 schestowitz-TR; the problem might then be versions of things, hence the need for extensive testing. We have a lot more than wordpress there.

18:00 schestowitz-TR; it takes a long time to recover
18:00 schestowitz-TR; good for rianne getting extra shifts

18:02 Techrights-sec; They are probably rather short incubation cycles now, or so it seems.
18:03 schestowitz-TR; you say, correctly, tahat this does not help much and I agree. But it's cheap and
18:03 schestowitz-TR; it is bvetter than nothing under some circumstances
18:03 schestowitz-TR; let us say that at least one if not twqo of them, some young and petit (no badad healdth), can get ill one week and stil
