I run an open source, federated event sharing site, (gath.io). A few days ago, it was victim to a ransomware attack that deleted the database. I need a few hours of someone's time (paid of course!) to sit with me and go through my security configuration ASAP.

Sometimes, running open source, free, community services _sucks_. :blobhaj_sadreach:

gath.ioGathioAn easier, quicker, and much less privacy-invading way to make and share events

@lown Oh no! I boosted, this really sucks and really hope someone can help

@cubicgarden thank you, that's very kind! Someone is going to look into it with me tomorrow!

@lown No problem, I find Gath.io a fantastic service and I have used it for many things.
Gives me chills how useful it can be without the usual surveillance.
Not considered hosting it myself but may do in the future for the small events I host 🤔
