 For now, since our Sandstorm installation rather heavily relies on Debian
 Jessie features, and our VM hosting provider has some problem with their
 virtualisation infrastructure, weasel and I have agreed that it's not
 possible to move the Sandstorm instance at http://para.noid.cat to a TPO-
 controlled server.

 However, and despite my putting a GIANT, ALL-CAPS WARNING THAT MY SERVER
 HAS ZERO TRANSPORT LAYER ENCRYPTION AND THE SANDSTORM INSTANCE SHOULDN'T
 BE USED FOR ACTUAL, SENSITIVE TOR PROJECT DOCUMENTS AND RESOURCES YET in
 my email announcing our Sandstorm instance, ''some people have already
 started doing exactly that''. Ergo, this thing needs TLS now (or needed it
 yesterday!).

 Because we can't easily relocate to a TPO-controlled server immediately,
 weasel and I have agreed that likely the most sensible thing to do would
 be to:

  1. Point the `storm.torproject.org` and other required DNS entries at my
 server.
  2. Purchase TLS certificates for `*.storm.torproject.org` and
 `storm.torproject.org`.
