9 AM, February 9

09:08 Techrights-sec; do we know the system requirements of joindiaspora at all?

09:08 Techrights-sec; restarting httpd

09:09 schestowitz-TR; very little is known about the system (sspace reqs, OS etc.)

09:37 schestowitz; did you detect downtime in site? montastic did not pick it, ao you probably caught that veer fast. RMS now speaks about Gemini...


11 AM, February 9

11:30 Techrights-sec; httpd was unavailable briefly, the script here triggered just as it slowed

11:30 Techrights-sec; down and stopped 0340 or so.

11:31 schestowitz-TR; i ran the tm ddos protection script an hour ago after a load spike


noon, February 9

12:14 schestowitz-TR; i've just added a draft, having recorded a video based on the comms with rms

12:14 schestowitz-TR; i di not mention rms in the text

12:14 Techrights-sec; ack

12:14 Techrights-sec; ack

12:14 Techrights-sec; XSLT might also be an option for HTML -> GemText


1 PM, February 9

13:11 schestowitz-TR; i have added a draft of what we will publish toingith re epo

13:11 schestowitz-TR; echoes much of what you said about tech and techn policies

13:11 schestowitz-TR; basically going along the trajectory of taking away basic rioghts

13:57 schestowitz-TR; 000

13:57 schestowitz-TR; on friday I will buy two usb sticks

13:57 schestowitz-TR; further, i expect rianne'\s computer MIGHT be here by Fridaqy

13:57 schestowitz-TR; but not stoo sure

13:57 schestowitz-TR; no email to say they have despatched already

13:57 schestowitz-TR; it will be very important to keep TR online for EPO stuff

13:58 schestowitz-TR; regarding joindiapora, we will probably find a way

13:58 schestowitz-TR; i hope to just pay someone and not have to be responsible for it

13:58 schestowitz-TR; some german dude who does not seem too dodgyt offeered to take over

13:58 schestowitz-TR; lukas does not know him so we don't know if he can be trusted

18:08 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@podmin@joindiaspora.com: # Hello JoinDiaspora there is some unfortunate news to share. Feneas will be dissolved and as Joindiaspora is one of the services. JD will also be shut down on 1 March. This is unless we can find someone who wants to take over the service. If you think you can handle the task please contact us via [hq@feneas.org](mailto:hq@feneas.org). You can find the original post below or via https://git.feneas.org/feneas/

18:20 schestowitz; "

18:20 schestowitz; @Jakub Klawiter You cannot simply archive your profile by saving a single link to the user account link itself. Internet Archive doesnt automaticallly crawl the entire profile, it just saves that one page.

18:20 schestowitz; You CAN save your public posts to the Internet Archive, most easily by requesting and downloading your accounts profile data, and then using tools to create and submit archive requests.

18:20 schestowitz; Those archives will not include comments to the posts. This is most useful where Diaspora* links have been shared elsewhere people will still at least be able to view the original post. Details below.

18:20 schestowitz; Ive covered this in the Diaspora Migration Tips and Questions Thread linked above.

18:20 schestowitz; The process is not entirely straightforward, but works well given use of Linux shell tools.

18:20 schestowitz; For an example from my own Joindiaspora account, using a specific post as an example, the links here show the original, archived, and federated content:

18:20 schestowitz; Original Joindiaspora post

18:20 schestowitz; Internet Archive without comments.

18:20 schestowitz; Archive Today with comments manually submitted.

18:20 schestowitz; Glasswings federated version without federation of older comments (several recent comments exist).

18:20 schestowitz; Ive entirely automated the Internet Archive archival. Ensuring Archive Today and alternate instance federation is still partially manual. More below.

18:20 schestowitz; To archive your account data:

18:21 schestowitz; On your own Diaspora* Pod, go to your Profile Settings page, scroll to the bottom, and scroll to the bottom. Under Export data, select Request my profile data for posts, and Request my photos for photos. Check back after a while (may be minutes, may be hours, occasionally longer) for the download link. You will NOT be emailed a notification, you have to return to check the page.

18:21 schestowitz; There are multiple reports for this not working for profiles with large amounts of data. See earlier comments in this thread. I have successfully exported roughly 2,800 posts accumulated over 10 years.

18:21 schestowitz; Download and save the link locally. The archive format is a compressed JSON file. This can be pocessed with a utility called jq. Ive posted a few useful recipies under the #jq and #JSON hashtags recently. It can be installed on Linux, MacOS (via Homebrew), Windows (via Cygwin or WSL) and Android systems (via Termux).

18:21 schestowitz; To create the original canonical URLs for each post

18:21 schestowitz; Use this jq recipe:

18:21 schestowitz; jq -r '.user .posts[] | "https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data .guid )"'

↺ https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data

18:21 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data .guid ) )

↺ https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data

18:21 schestowitz; Note that jq runs against the archive data itself. Im assuming you know how to to do this, if not, ask.

18:21 schestowitz; Content can be saved at the Internet Archive using a URL of the form https://web.archive.org/save/<URL>, where <URL> is the specific web page you wish to save. These can be submitted automatically, without human intervention.

↺ https://web.archive.org/save/<URL>,

18:21 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 523 @ https://web.archive.org/save/<URL )

↺ https://web.archive.org/save/<URL

18:21 schestowitz; You can feed that to the Internet Archive using a simple shell script.

18:21 schestowitz; Assuming your archive exists as DIASPORA_EXTRACT.json.gz, you can run the following bash command. It relies on jq and curl, see that both are installed on your system.

18:21 schestowitz; time gunzip < DIASPORA_EXTRACT.json.gz |

18:21 schestowitz; jq -r '.user .posts[] | "https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data .guid )"' |

↺ https://joindiaspora.com/posts/\(.entity_data

18:21 schestowitz; while read url

18:21 schestowitz; do

18:21 schestowitz; curl https://web.archive.org/save/${url}

↺ https://web.archive.org/save/${url}

18:21 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 523 @ https://web.archive.org/save/${url} )

↺ https://web.archive.org/save/${url}

18:21 schestowitz; sleep 2

18:21 schestowitz; done

18:21 schestowitz; There is a 2-second sleep to try to avoid overloading archive.org. This will process about 1800 URLs per hour. Leave it running in a terminal or screen session until it completes.

18:21 schestowitz; As I said, thats fully automated but does not include comment threads on posts.

18:21 schestowitz; If you do want to capture comments youll need to submit posts to Archive.Today. Theres no automated mechanism for that so far as Im aware, and there are occasional CAPTCHA requests.

18:21 schestowitz; To address this, Ive written a Diaspora Post Abstract Generator

18:21 schestowitz; That creates a short summary of posts in the form:

18:21 schestowitz; Title

18:21 schestowitz; Paragraph quote

18:21 schestowitz; URL on my new (Glasswings) pod.

18:21 schestowitz; Original, Wayback Machine, and Archive Today links

18:21 schestowitz; Original Posting date

18:21 schestowitz; Like this for a 2015 post of mine:

18:21 schestowitz; Welp, Ive found a sure-fire way to get locked out of a Google account.

18:21 schestowitz; Try accessing it via Tor.

18:21 schestowitz; Original :: Wayback Machine :: Archive.Today

18:21 schestowitz; (2015-02-17 06:07)

18:21 schestowitz; Ive been breaking these up by year and posting these limited to my own view only and manually clicking through links and commenting on old posts referencing my new account to ensure federation and archival of links. See the post above for details. This takes an hour or two per 100 posts in my experience (Im up through 2019, and have 2020 and 2021 still to go.)

18:21 schestowitz; Eventually Ill be posting a selection of those posts as an index/archive similar to this. That makes finding and referencing my own older content far easier, given that Diaspora* lacks search and is poorly indexed by major Web search engines.

18:21 schestowitz; Ive also created a few other jq recipes for managing contacts and recovering source text from posts and comments.

18:42 schestowitz-TR; the person other than Fla who offered to take over joindiaspora

18:42 schestowitz-TR; has devoted his account there to posts critical of covid19

18:42 schestowitz-TR; vaccines. nothing bad per se, but when almost 100% of your account is

18:42 schestowitz-TR; this and you put a bitcoin thing in your pfoeile, not even being based in

18:42 schestowitz-TR; bavaria inspires confidence

18:46 Techrights-sec; nope

18:46 Techrights-sec; keep him at more than arm's length

18:50 schestowitz-TR; btw, rms being rms, he managed to poorly express himself to andy

18:50 schestowitz-TR; potentially causing a big of offence

18:50 schestowitz-TR; I tried to step in early to defend andy

18:50 Techrights-sec; that's sad; I hope it gets sorted amicably
