The ice and wind has broken a large number of tree branches which has downed a large number of power lines. 30% of the city, including the buildbot machines, has been without power, in the case of the buildbot for 38 hours already. As of four hours ago the power company has stated they are unable to provide an estimate for when power will be restored.

Yes. Disk first aid found a minor problem on the Mojave disk that I had hoped to correct before putting it back into service by booting from the installer and running some fsck commands there, but it is hanging when booting from the installer. It is possible I created the installer image incorrectly.

I took the Apple Silicon machine offline in anticipation of upgrading it; see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66637.
