it's been a bit over a week since the coral castle data loss disaster, so imma be giving some recommendations on how to not fuck up like i did to other server admins.
1. if you're upgrading your server, check the hardware you're using. this was caused by a single bad ram stick that i didn't test after install.
2. allow postgres to safely crash if it detects corruption. openrc automatically restarted the service, causing a loop where postgres would reboot and keep writing corrupted pages to storage
3. consider pg_basebackup and wal archiving. back up the whole cluster in longer intervals (weekly, monthly), and then wal can take care of the smaller changes over shorter periods of time (hourly)
4. check whether your backups work correctly. two issues arose after checking one of my backups. first, i was backing up the wrong database (this being the coral castle neo database), and second, the backups were not encoded correctly (using ASCII instead of UTF-8)
that's all everyone. keep your servers safe.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as meta, is in fact, meta/drama, or as I've recently taken to calling it, meta plus drama. Meta is not a concept unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning social media drama machine made useful by the lack of oversight, ameuter moderators, and constant need to argue, comprising a full social media addiction as defined by Facebook.
