Welp, there goes a chunk of my digital history. I just finished rebuilding this site from scratch: fresh server, clean Nginx config, PHP and MariaDB all set up again.
What I didn’t realize until it was too late? I had zero backups of my old posts. No SQL dump, no export, nothing. So yeah… RIP to all the old entries.
Lessons learned, memories lost. Anyway, everything’s back online now, just with an empty posts table and a slightly wiser developer behind the keyboard.
No backups, no mercy
