00:51 schestowitz-TR; I might as well I do a very quick run
00:51 schestowitz-TR; eliminating the cruft asap
00:51 schestowitz-TR; but should not discard thwe whole lot
00:51 schestowitz-TR; as I still manage to find a few bits of relevance there

13:38 schestowitz; I've long customised (using filter) Thunderbird to only present messages from the past 24 hours UNLESS they are unread. There are ways to configure the pane structure in the software to better suit your workflow or improve the usage of screen space.
13:38 schestowitz; I lack experience with the other clients you've mentioned.

17:15 schestowitz-TR; so here is to myself:
17:15 schestowitz-TR; so at first I thoguth, bytesmedia probably not cracked
17:15 schestowitz-TR; did not look likie it
17:15 schestowitz-TR; so I assuekmd disk space
17:15 schestowitz-TR; comment span took up 250MB of DB!!
17:15 schestowitz-TR; never mind email spam
17:15 schestowitz-TR; I used an old DB backup to restore from
17:15 schestowitz-TR; a lot less spam in it
17:15 schestowitz-TR; shitty cpanel takes like 5 hours to take effect when changing the DB
17:15 schestowitz-TR; don't ask me why
17:15 schestowitz-TR; lousy proprietary junk
17:15 schestowitz-TR; so I hjad to leave it aise for a while
17:15 schestowitz-TR; learning from a previous and recent experience
17:15 schestowitz-TR; and then I looked at error logs
17:15 schestowitz-TR; around the tike the site became inaccessible
17:15 schestowitz-TR; so as it turns out they must have updated php
17:15 schestowitz-TR; don't think they even told us about it
17:15 schestowitz-TR; and my therme had some code in it that broke
17:15 schestowitz-TR; I had rto make some code modification
17:15 schestowitz-TR; now it works
17:15 schestowitz-TR; summary:
17:15 schestowitz-TR; php is SHIT! One day it works, then it stopes working
17:15 schestowitz-TR; not the first time I need to manually fix these things after 'upgradingh'
17:15 schestowitz-TR; not the sofwtare itself
17:15 schestowitz-TR; but something like php version
17:15 schestowitz-TR; second, cpanel is shit
17:15 schestowitz-TR; it makes no sense that when wiping spam from the DB I should then wonder for ages
17:15 schestowitz-TR; why space is not clearing up

23:20 schestowitz; Can we get to know how many gb is a
23:20 schestowitz; data backup of joindiaspora? With media data? Without media data?
23:20 schestowitz; According to Morbius assessment data could be from few hundred gb to more than 4tb. There have been
23:20 schestowitz; concerns about how to deal with users data privacy in this situation.
23:20 schestowitz; Specifically can you hand over all user data to another entity or person? To me it is
23:20 schestowitz; about weighing the interest in continuing joindiaspora up against users data privacy concerns. Joindiaspora users
23:20 schestowitz; have had time to close their account. Therefore if user data is dealt with responsible then it can be
23:20 schestowitz; handed over to another entity or person. I have the following suggestion. Get all user data downloaded on
23:20 schestowitz; a hdd or usb memory stick. Put it in a sealed envelope. Then we have to find an entity or person to ship
23:20 schestowitz; the user data to. I suggest the free software foundation. Let me hear your suggestions? If
23:20 schestowitz; somehow it gets decided who will continue joindiaspora, then they will get the sealed envelope. Can
23:20 schestowitz; we crowd fund such an action? Starting up joindiaspora again, user data privacy can be dealt with
23:20 schestowitz; by deleting a user account if a given user has not logged in six month after joindiaspora restarted. This matter
23:20 schestowitz; of joindiaspora stopping has occurred several times. For such an event instructions for the host
23:20 schestowitz; should be present in advance and funded. Joindiaspora hoster should have storage ready for a user
23:20 schestowitz; data backup. A sealed envelope. Postage funds. And know who to ship the package to.
23:21 schestowitz; If joindiaspora continues by a new host, then the hosters conditions should be more
23:21 schestowitz; regulated. How many hours working on joindiaspora each month? And host should
23:21 schestowitz; not work more hours than agreed on. Also if that has implications on

23:21 schestowitz; That said, committing to a communication schedule would be appreciated. My own principle concern has been a lack of comms, advertised contacts not functioning, and in cases, shutting down of channels. Thats a recipe for concern and frictions.
23:21 schestowitz; How about a once-a-week update on status, and specifically addressing problems encountered such as data exports failing for specific users.
23:21 schestowitz; In the specific case of JoindiasporaCom email contacts, if there are accounts which dont work, they should be removed from public posts and content. This includes:

23:21 schestowitz; No. We will communicate things when there is something to communicate.
23:21 schestowitz; commit to an alternate contact which does work and is monitored.
23:21 schestowitz; The joindiaspora podmin account will write an update when there is something to update. When we need input from anyone, we will create a channel to do so. At the moment, we dont need input, so there is no need to establish a communication channel.

23:22 schestowitz; I am not going to provide you with speculations on what we think might happen. As soon as we know what will happen and when it will happen, we will make sure to let you know. And at that point, we will happily answer questions about that. Currently, everything else I could say would be 100% crystal balling, based on factors we have no true insight yet.

23:22 schestowitz; I acknowledge that there are issues. Zero issues are in progress, and I know about zero issues that can be resolved.

23:22 schestowitz; For others: Knowing what help is and is not forthcoming should help you in your own planning.
23:22 schestowitz; Ive already made my move to a new Pod.
23:22 schestowitz; Ive announced that at both my old AND new instances. (Vouching the account in both directions helps ensure against sockpuppets or imposters.)
23:22 schestowitz; Ive successfully exported my data. Do this if possible. Recognise that if you cannot, you should make plans that exclude doing this, or involve alternate methods. (An automated profile walker that can web-scrape this content would be useful, I havent looked into this.)
23:22 schestowitz; Ive been in the process of ensuring that old posts are both federated (to other Diaspora pods), and archived (at both the Internet Archive and Archive.Today). A fair bit of my content and the resulting discussions has been substantive, and Id like for that to live on.
23:22 schestowitz; Ive also been working on tools for managing the Diaspora* data export JSON archives using jq, and posting updates to my stream on this.
23:22 schestowitz; And theres a discussion for data export / import issues and tricks. as Ive posted above.
23:22 schestowitz; See the #jq, #json, and #ArchiveIndex tags.
23:22 schestowitz; For earlier and general migrating from social network instances planning and discussion, see #Plexodus

23:23 schestowitz; @Doc Edward Morbius (defunct account) actually we just released diaspora v0.7.16.0 which contains some improvements to the archive export, so better wait for joindiaspora to be updated before exporting the data.

23:23 schestowitz; @Fla Glad to hear that.
23:23 schestowitz; Does this change data structures at all (e.g., fields exported), or mostly work around issues that people have had in generating exports at all? Checking the release announcement:
23:23 schestowitz; Release Announcement: diaspora* version 0.7.16.0 released with security fixes!
23:23 schestowitz; Fix CVE-2022-23633. #8336
23:23 schestowitz; Various improvements and fixes to the archive export and preparations for the upcoming account migration. #8265, #8310, #8263, #8288, #8309 and #8314
23:23 schestowitz; Show sharing status in hovercards. #8317

23:23 schestowitz; Im seeing numerous mentions to account migration support. Being able to directly migrate to a new Pod without going through the Export / Import process would be great.
23:23 schestowitz; If data changes are included, Im getting pretty good at writing and testing jq scripts (Ive come to understand it much better over the past few weeks), so reasonably minor changes shouldnt affect much.
23:23 schestowitz; I would like to see blocked users included in the export, as theyre not presently AFAICT.
23:23 schestowitz; I also noted that reshares dont seem to be mentioned.
23:23 schestowitz; That said, most people here are probably concerned with import capabilities.
