It is so lovely to see you improving and keeping the serverino 
alive. I understand that one can update the server executable 
without having to shut the entire thing down. Please correct if I 
am wrong. Even though I haven't been doing web stuff recently, it 
is my go-to solution when I need it because Serverino is 
relatively lightweight. Please keep up the good work. I hold an 
Aperol Spritz for the good work of you :)
