EXCITING “hikari runs her own instance” UPDATE!!!
my server ran out of disk space again and THIS time it took the database with it! i just had to restore the state of my server to what it was four days ago (last backup). four days of posts… gone. luckily none of them were good posts 😌
but now we're back. we're so back. or whatever. total downtime less than an hour probably? :p
i posted about it on the formerly birded side: https://twitter.com/hikari_no_yume/status/1747708548774076781
@hikari Thinking about git and distributed restoration. In theory I have all your public and unlisted posts, at least the non-replies! If only I could send them to you.
@jrose something like secure scuttlebutt could definitely gracefully recover in a situation like this
@hikari Right, plain old ActivityPub doesn’t have any auth, so you’d have to trust that I’m not going to pretend you said “WIN AN IPAD FROM HIKARI REPLY HERE”
@jrose ActivityPub is obsessed with signatures but i guess the posts themselves aren't signed?
wait how the hell do reposts work then
