Finally got around to migrating my Forgejo to a different hosting provider, it's no longer horrendously slow now

The migration involved:

1. rsyncing a few data folders over to the new (not really new, just different) server
2. Cut-and-pasting my NixOS/morph config for Forgejo from one machine definition to the other and running the deploy script
3. Fixing some file permissions due to a user/group ID mismatch, oops
4. Changing an internal port because I hadn't realized there was a port conflict, oops
5. Switching over the CNAME with 5 minute TTL in my DNS over to the 'new' machine's host

This was honestly surprisingly trouble-free

Todo: delete the many many spam accounts that have accumulated because Gitea/Forgejo do not really have any meaningful spam prevention

Pretty productive day, honestly.

Cautiously went back to (some) paid work after my surgery (I have bills to pay!), cleaned up a good chunk of my e-mail inbox by creating an absurd amount of folders and filters, migrated my Forgejo, and made a start on a little automation project.

Definitely hadn't expected to get this much done today when I woke up this morning!
