Faulty peripheral power supply killed my server a little over a day ago.
120 gigs of MySQL data just wouldn't come up - backup is far from recent. My fault. Most corrupted tables were of course in Friendica.
After much nail chewing everything now appears operational again with minimum(?) data loss.

In other words: can you all read me? ;-)

at least weekly mysqlcheck + mysqlddump and some form of periodic off-machine storing of that is something I'll surely take to heart after this lil' fiasco ;-) sound advice, thank you!
