Over the years there have been a number of access related issues. Usually it occurs when I'm changing servers or hosts and there are DNS changes that need 24 to 48 hours to resolve properly. Other times there has been ISP related issues where for some reason access to ASF was inadvertently blocked or restricted by specific ISPs.

But this is the first time I can recall a major browser update creating access issues. On the positive side, it did make me dig deep and discover a hostname issue that i wasn't aware of, so there were some positive outcomes. I'm interested in server management but it's a complicated area and it's so easy to mess things up. I have a dream of one day having the knowledge and experience to be able to manage a server on my own, but I'll probably be a really old fart by then, if it ever actually happens.

<- In the future, me telling people about the great Google Chrome incident of February 2021 and how I saved the day and discovered an improperly setup hostname at the same time.
