I am planning a kernel upgrade this Friday, August 19th, at 11pm Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-0700).

     This will affect all Eskimo North services, shell servers, e-mail, web hosting, other hosting, https://friendica.eskimo.com/, https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/, https://nextcloud.eskimo.com, https://yacy.eskimo.com/, and https://www.eskimo.com/.

     I do not expect the downtime for any one service to exceed ten minutes and the whole process should be completed by approximately 11:30PM.  I am expecting this to go reasonably smooth as 5.19.0 was very smooth and 5.19.1 only contained three very small fixes, one where a function was missing a return so if it did not return on some conditionals it could return with random results, and two that are bounds checks in the QEMU-KVM system that would not come into play unless something else went wrong.
