@ellory_vell Yup, it was. For some reason ubuntu turned on some automatic updates after updating to 24.04, and after one update it decided to shutdown database and not turn it on again.
I'm approaching the 50 gig limit on my Mastodon instance storage and I'm assuming this is probably because I connected to a relay, but I will upgrade to the 20 bucks a month plan if necessary (altho that will essentially spend everything I make on Patreon, currently lol)
