Some positive news after an unrelenting stream of issues.

I'll be setting up a T5-2 to replace the T4-2, then have to reinstall
cfarm105/cfarm106, and may or may not be able to restore an old
backup of cfarm105 (formerly gcc102). I don't have the Solaris data.
The machine is performant and has adequate resources to be useful.

This will happen next week.

cfarm103 did not survive a reboot tonight after a software upgrade,
so I will also look into that next week as well. Likely trivial.

In theory, we will have some fancy new riscv64 hardware next week
at long last, but that will take some time (weeks) to set up and make
arrangements for hosting.

Sorry for all the delays. Murphy had a productive 2023.
