FactGrid:Server Admin Log

A very rudimentary log of changes made to the FactGrid technical infrastructure. Inspired by wikitech:Server Admin Log but much less structured – just manually maintained. Started November 2023, earlier changes aren’t really logged anywhere in much detail (but the history of FactGrid:Setup may be useful). Newest entries first.
