If you use Docker: It seems like the new Docker image with Alpine 3.7 gives regular segmentation faults in the sidekiq process. I believe these crashes may be tracelessly devouring some unlucky sidekiq jobs.

Trying to find & confirm a solution right now. Since it seems like non-Docker instances are not affected, it shouldn't be Ruby 2.5 or gems, but something about Alpine 3.7 in particular.

Condolences to the person running mastodon.rocks (which lost its database). I know that sinking feeling as you realize that something went wrong.

Let it be a serious reminder to everyone to have regular backups.

I've lost an entire VPS to Scaleway once, it wasn't even anything I did, their hardware just failed. Not having backups is living on the edge.
