Good day all,

You may notice that some images posted after the 23 August are missing. Sorry about that.

What happened is that I updated some packages through apt, which triggered docker to restart. This caused the pictrs database to become corrupted, but only partly because of the way its db (sled) does things.

I did manage to recover about half of the images through abusing image proxies and browser cache, so there’s that at least. The whole of the data is also theoretically recoverable.

Needless to say, I’m going to move pictrs to postgres soon-ish.

    Is the plan to recover the rest of the data? Just wondering if I should reupload some of my older posts’ images.

    Thank you for your work keeping the instance going and being open about this sort of stuff.
