Finally I have restored my database, as I bought a SATA cable. Sorry for the radio silence, I hope your readers won't overflow!

#postmortem TL;DR: tried to disassemble my server, fried the BIOS, too lazy to bring it to service center and all my data was locked up on a HDD to which I couldn't connect. But I bought a SATA cable and heroically retrieved the database.

Even shorter TL;DR: you need a backup off-site. I'll probably set up a cron job that will send the DB dump to a remote server.

  Now me too, as you can see. I have at least two posts, an improvement to the backend that allows me to store posts as files and I want to write about the way I killed my server laptop (TL;DR: surgical accident when trying to clean dust off the laptop's mainboard), and I wanted to do so after I make a backup...
