Guess who found out the wrong way—a significant flaw in their default configuration.

The MariaDB Operator messed up, clearing the entire jorijn.com database. Velero messed up, leaving me unable to restore the backups.
I'm very annoyed by this.
The silver lining is that it's not a very important project, and I can recreate some parts from caches. Still, a lesson was learned. Test recovery procedures, often.
