Fixed.

It will require more in-person work to update to Ubuntu 26.x but
for now I plan to just leave it running at the current version.

Deferred.

Fixed (last week).

No changes needed. Worked fine after rebooting the NFS host.

In progress.

I moved some data around, and the update is in progress. It
failed (expected, because it's failed every single time). I need
to go back tomorrow or another day this week to finish the
update and then fix all the user accounts.

I also acquired a pretty beefy 2020-era Intel iMac which I may
set up for CFarm use. 10 cores, 128GB memory, 1TB NVMe. Details
to follow once I find a place to host it.
