Well the CPU or mainboard of my homeserver which is responsible for image hosting just gave up... Because it is 9pm here I will not be able to fix it until tomorrow. I am very sorry and very angry about it as this never happened to me and I was very much not expecting this on a friday evening...

Yeah I have thought about that actually. The problem is simply with cost. Image hosting is expensive and minio is quite resource intensive... I would need to buy a set of enterprise grade ssds and should do so for the current server as well. It hosts the image storage for all 3 fediverse servers I host combined and takes ~1.5 TB of storage at the moment, so I would need at the very least 2 drives with 4TB each to have a lot of room to spare. If I go with WD Red nvme SSDs that is 341€ per drive... I don't have to do that and I will investigate the options further, because yes I know, having a single point of failure is not good. I just didn't expect I had to do it this soon, as the machine is not even 1.5 years old...

Do you have a link that we can donate to for stuff like this to at least lighten the load on you a bit?

Thanks for keeping TheBrainBin up and running!
