  • Fixing upload limit w/HTTPS-Portal and WordPress docker images

    I was trying to upload this photo of my dog to test out some things and hit an issue with https-portal and the wordpress docker images.

Verizon laid a bunch of Fiber that they sold to Frontier and GTE laid some cable internet in the 90s, which became Adelphia and finally Spectrum.
