PSA for Mastodon admins
If you use Docker: It seems like the new Docker image with Alpine 3.7 gives regular segmentation faults in the sidekiq process. I believe these crashes may be tracelessly devouring some unlucky sidekiq jobs.
Trying to find & confirm a solution right now. Since it seems like non-Docker instances are not affected, it shouldn't be Ruby 2.5 or gems, but something about Alpine 3.7 in particular.

@Gargron we don't use docker and I had to downgrade Ruby to make frequent error messages go away
@Gargron That's about as specific as I can get, since we just got the errors after the 2.3 update and frantically tried to fix the web frontend throwing errors all the time. I didn't read any logs or anything because I don't know where to find them, I just downgraded Ruby and it went away. Might very well be an unrelated issue.
@noiob Okay, good to know. The segfaults wouldn't appear in the frontend. Seems unrelated.
