If you were wondering why we didn't have reg on Thursday night this year, this is why. I was on a Linux-powered bender rushing to set up everything again.
I had backups of the database, so no data was lost. Just time.
Phew.
Always test your backups.

So all of MFM2025's registration is running on a Pi5 this weekend. It's really fast, and I might just keep it this way. It's so small I could transport it in a pocket on my suitcase.

I grabbed a spare Pi5 I had on hand and rebuilt the server in about 2.5 hours onto the Pi5. This would have been a few casual paced nights of work at home.
Luckily it's written in Java, so the amd64 -> arm64 port was no big deal. It's also Dockerized, so I only had to push a Linux/arm64 image.

Best I can tell, the CPU fan came off while in transit, and it did the Fork in the Garbage Disposal the whole way, smashing everything in sight. The CPU socket on the motherboard had bent pins. 😨 We tried to save the hardware, but it was beyond saving. youtu.be/o4AFQc4ZrvA
LET'S DO THE FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

When I picked it up it rattled. I was again like "uh, that's also weird." When we opened the case, the CPU fan fell out. Along with the CPU itself.

It's gone between wherever I'm living at the time (Texas, California, Seattle) and Memphis with me every year.
This year, however, we went to set it up, it wouldn't power up. I was like "uh, that's weird," and went to look for a screwdriver to open the case, thinking the power button came loose.
