So I see now that that server (an HP workstation) had been providing these critical Synchronet and Vertrauen services for 6.8 years before replaced with a younger, faster HP workstation.

Here are the relevant details that I posted back in August in the Synchronet Programming echo:
-------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------
The server currently-known-as 'cvs.synchro.net' is an aging quad-core AMD (A10
PRO-7800B) based HP workstation with 16GB of DDR3 RAM running Debian Linux 10.9
on a SATA SSD.
[...]
I'm in the process of upgrading this system to an new Intel i7-17200 based HP
workstation with 32GB of DDR4 RAM running Debian Linux 11.4 on an NVMe SSD
(bought it on sale for $800 from costco.com). This should speed-up a lot of
Git-related things quite a bit (e.g. CI pipeline/builds) when the upgrade is
complete.
-------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------
And it *did* speed up everything, not surprisingly! Enjoy...
