Southern Baptists love to talk about βnot hurting their witnessβ as the reason they avoid alcohol, but aggressively going after LGBT+ rights is hurting their witness way more than having a beer.

I had backups of the database, so no data was lost. Just time.
Phew.
Always test your backups.
So all of MFM2025's registration is running on a Pi5 this weekend. It's really fast, and I might just keep it this way. It's so small I could transport it in a pocket on my suitcase.
31.08.2025 00:37 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I grabbed a spare Pi5 I had on hand and rebuilt the server in about 2.5 hours onto the Pi5. This would have been a few casual paced nights of work at home.
Luckily it's written in Java, so the amd64 -> arm64 port was no big deal. It's also Dockerized, so I only had to push a Linux/arm64 image.
Best I can tell, the CPU fan came off while in transit, and it did the Fork in the Garbage Disposal the whole way, smashing everything in sight. The CPU socket on the motherboard had bent pins. π¨ We tried to save the hardware, but it was beyond saving. youtu.be/o4AFQc4ZrvA

This year, however, we went to set it up, it wouldn't power up. I was like "uh, that's weird," and went to look for a screwdriver to open the case, thinking the power button came loose.
Friends, I have a story to tell.
I'm Director of Registration for @mephitfurmeet.org. I own the server that we use for on-site registration. A disaster struck on the way to #mfm2025.
The server we've been using is a ten year old i3 server in an ITX case I built years ago.
