August Recap: Sorry for the delay!
đ„ Disaster strikes!
Unfortunately, both my PeerTube and Mitra instances have been destroyed due failed database migrations.
Personally, things have gone from bad to worse so I'll have to sort some stuff before I get back online.
I've been very happy with Mitra & PeerTube, so I'm really looking forward to having both setup again.
The hard part is that I need to actually establish some good regular backups and think through my setup more deliberately.
