Converted `paste.stevelosh.com` to HTTPS.  Forgot it in the previous conversion.

Moved all my repositories from Source Hut to `hg.stevelosh.com`.  Wasn't
expecting to have to shave this yak so soon, but such is life.  On the plus
side: pushing is *so much faster* now.  Rough timing for an empty push was ~5
seconds on Source Hut, down to around a second now.  No more sitting and
staring at the command line waiting to get back to work.

Finished (mostly) reskinning `hg.stevelosh.com`.  Had to shave a couple of yaks
in Mercurial itself (diff headers getting truncated) and the hgweb Markdown
extension.  Ended up just completely forking the extension and tearing out
almost all of its guts.  The result should (hopefully) be easier to maintain as
Mercurial breaks internal shit over time.

Still need to finish the CSS for the rendered Markdown, but that can wait for
now.

Got the RIT VPN set up on my Linux machine so I can connect for class.  I was
worried I'd have to install some horrible Cisco VPN client thing, but it turns
out you can use the `openconnect` client to connect, so `sudo apt install
openconnect` and then `sudo openconnect vpn.rit.edu` just magically works.
Fantastic.

Finished the `hg.stevelosh.com` reskin on my lunch break.  Just had to get the
`README`s looking decent.

Finally figured out a strategy for syncing a small subset of my dotfiles onto
remote servers easily, so I don't have to be completely miserable on them.
Goals:

* Needs to provide a reasonable subset of the stuff I use to get around.
* Needs to handle servers with both bash and fish.
* Needs to be easily syncable with a single command and no extra setup.
* Needs to handle servers that don't have git or Mercurial.

Ended up making a `remote/` folder in my dotfiles.  Almost everything inside it
is a symlink except for a `bootstrap.sh`.  The folder gets `rsync
--copy-links`ed over and then `bootstrap.sh` will symlink all the resulting
files into their places.  Hopefully this should be easier to maintain.  Did
a bunch of cleanup on my bash and fish setups while I was at it.

Still need to figure out how to get a decent Vim setup remotely.  Syncing all my
plugins is probably not ideal, but maybe.  Who knows.
