         - also serves as the main caddy machine (static sites, etc)
         - ...and also serves various other *tiny* services like alternative frontends
 
-*original* virtual machine planning, which may go unused:
-
-- [`cerium`](./cerium)
-    - also runs on the intel-based server! this vm runs everything that isn't exactly considered "important". this may include things such as:
-        - alternative frontends
-        - and any other services and other related things.
-    - meant to be self-maintained and automated so we don't have to keep an eye on it at all times and not worry about it.
-- [`synthnix`](./synthnix)
-    - our pubnix vm for our tilde members. runs on the amd-based server, kept relatively quiet.
-
 and as for other things:
 
-- [`Caddyfile`](./Caddyfile)
-    - the "main" caddyfile that serves everything from all of our vms and configs to one.
 - [`notes`](./notes)
     - personal notes/knowledge base while setting things up, may contain useful information for others.
