I’m not being a shit and am completely being honest, but this is a risk that comes with servers vanishing. You could always host your own instance, but that’s beyond most non-technical people. So, unfortunately it could happen again. Your best bet might be picking one of the more populated instances and hoping for the best.
I use Luks/Tang to unlock the server at boot from another computer that is always on too. If that one is down I’ll need to type it or power the other PC on, but otherwise it auto decrypts for me as long as I’m on the same network.
