01:51 schestowitz; I didn't have an account with Joindiaspora. But I think the way this team is going about it is absolutely great. Thank you for so much commitment. This is the spirit in which the Internet was created - long before commerce tried by all means to take it over.

01:51 schestowitz; @(((Dirk Weber))) I also find it remarkable and praiseworthy how this team proceeds and that it drives this effort at all. Don't underestimate the problems you run into when you don't want to just crash an entire system or replace it with something else. Especially if it is old, has not yet been fully developed and lacks any migration options. Personally, I don't necessarily want Usenet back, but I find it remarkable and gratifying that a worldwide
01:51 schestowitz; distributed communication system, in which I participated more than 35 years ago, is available to me continuously and largely unchanged to this day.

01:51 schestowitz; Ich hatte ja nun keinen Account bei Joindiaspora. Aber wie dieses Team da vorgeht, das finde ich absolut Spitze. Vielen Dank fr soviel Engagement. Das ist der Geist, in welchem das Internet einmal entstanden ist - lange bevor der Kommerz mit allen Mitteln versucht, es zu bernehmen.

01:51 schestowitz; @(((Dirk Weber))) Wie dieses Team vorgeht und dass es diesen Aufwand berhaupt treibt, finde ich ebenfalls beachtenswert und lblich. Die Probleme, die man bekommt, wenn man ein alles System nicht einfach zusammenbrechen lassen mag oder durch irgend etwas anderes ersetzen mchte, sollte man nicht unterschtzen. Insbesondere dann, wenn es alt ist, bis heute nicht fertig entwickelt und bar jeder Migrationsmglichkeiten. Ich persnlich wnsche
01:51 schestowitz; mir das Usenet zwar nicht unbedingt zurck, finde es aber beachtlich und erfreulich, dass mir ein weltweites verteiltes Kommunikationssystem, an dem ich schon vor ber 35 Jahren teilgenommen habe, kontinuierlich und weitgehend unverndert bis heute zur Verfgung steht.

01:56 schestowitz; Godspeed Joindiaspora
01:56 schestowitz; Joindiaspora.com as a fully-functioning Diaspora* pod is no more. It was the first, and possibly largest node on the federated Diaspora* network, both factors of which contributed in part to its demise as detailed by its administrators and the Diaspora* developers team.
01:56 schestowitz; It will have some limited continued existence, see below and links for details.
01:56 schestowitz; At 20:01 UTC the site started throwing 502 Bad Gateway errors. This means that the planned maintenance has begun. According to previous announcements (see below), the site will return in a limited-service mode at some future point, precise time not known. How long the site will remain available in this mode has also not been clear, though suggestions are that it will be at least a month. I would hope longer.
01:56 schestowitz; On Friday, March 4th, at around 20:00 UTC, JoinDiaspora will go down for a long maintenance break. We cannot yet estimate how long this will take. We will use that time to move JoinDiaspora and its data from infrastructure maintained by Feneas to infrastructure maintained by the diaspora* Core Team. This work will not resolve existing issues with exporting account data. Our work on the export feature will start at a later time, see below.
01:56 schestowitz; When maintenance is completed, JoinDiaspora will be available again in a limited-service mode. In this mode, you will no longer be able to read or write posts or comments. However, you will be able to manage your account, and you will be able to export your account data.
01:56 schestowitz; An update on the future of JoinDiaspora.com 2022-2-22
01:56 schestowitz; As has been typical of the shutdown, there was no final announcement that Im aware. The #Joindiaspora hashtag has a few recent posts from members, though none from Podmins, and the announcement posts lacked any hashtags the only real searchable Diaspora* mechanism at all. Communications could have been much better than they were. Ill be discussing this and other matters in future.
01:56 schestowitz; There has been an update at the Joindiaspora Sunset Team profile:
01:56 schestowitz; As announced in our announcement, the server migration is currently underway. Given the size of JoinDiasporas filesystem and database, this might take a couple of hours to complete.
01:56 schestowitz; https://pod.diaspora.software/posts/5009540
01:56 -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-As announced in our announcement (https://pod.diaspora.software/pos...
01:56 schestowitz; I strongly recommend monitoring that profile for further announcements:
01:56 schestowitz; Profile: @The JoinDiaspora Sunset Team (joindiaspora-sunset@pod.diaspora.software)
01:56 schestowitz; URL: https://pod.diaspora.software/u/joindiaspora-sunset
01:56 schestowitz; I do want to thank Lukas Matt and others for their time and effort all the same. Joindiaspora, like the Diaspora* project itself, has been a volunteer and amateur effort, in the original sense of that last word, performed for love not lucre.
01:56 schestowitz; Status of my Joindiaspora content
01:56 schestowitz; Ive taken pains to see that my own content from my Joindiaspora profile, @Doc Edward Morbius (moved to Glasswings), remains as generally available as possible. Specifically:
01:56 schestowitz; Ive requested several data exports, the most recent of which created yesterday. Ive engaged minimally on the platform in the past two months, since the shutdown was initially announced.
01:56 schestowitz; As many posts as possible have been federated to Glasswings, and hopefully other pods, as possible.
01:56 schestowitz; My earliest remote followers came from the following pods and dates, which should provide the most complete set of federated posts with comments: pod.orkz (25 December 2013), pod.geraspora.de (18 January 2014), diasp.eu (31 March, 2014), diasp.de (6 May, 2014), diaspora-fr.org (22 July, 2014), spyurk.am (11 August, 2014).
01:56 schestowitz; Glasswings (diaspora.glasswings.com), my new home, seems to have begun federating between mid-April and mid-May, 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic ramped up and I posted on that topic. Earlier posts may be present (mostly by recent federation triggered by me) but the comments date from the first federation event. Yes, Diaspora* federation is complicated.
01:56 schestowitz; WIth few exceptions, any still-extant content should be available under at least its joindiaspora.com original URL at Archive.Today, including full comments. This includes both my own original posts and reshares.
01:56 schestowitz; Ive made multiple attempts to save posts to the Internet Archive. This is nominally easier as it may be automated. It does not preserve comments. In practice, Ive found over the past several months that automated submissions via the Archives own supported methods do not succeed consistently. I dont know how successful those efforts have been yet, I do plan on assessing this in future. The Archive is useful in that many people and
01:56 schestowitz; tools will consult it automatically for links which have expired. Archive.Today does not yet have a similar recognition.
01:56 schestowitz; I do NOT plan to delete my Joindiaspora profile, as that would have the effect of deleting all my content, including federated content. This has been an issue Ive observed from others deleted profiles as Ive attempted my own data salvage operation.
01:56 schestowitz; Ive also created, and am continuing to refine, tools which work on the downloaded data extract and which provide both local access to that content and can create formats and exports which are useful in referring to older content. In particular, an Archive Index generator, which summarizes the content and provides links which should in theory point to extant copies still on line. Again, thats ongoing work, though Ive published draft
01:56 schestowitz; versions. Those tools, incidentally, assisted greatly in manually archiving and federating most of my 2,659 posts and reshares over the past two months. Tedious, but in my case, largely tractable. Ill be posting a curated set of public indices highlighting more significant content in future.
01:56 schestowitz; I write much of this in the hopes that it will be useful to others, most especially members of other pods either presently annoucing shutdown plans (#Pluspora most notably) or which do so in future.

23:27 schestowitz; @Gary Hill The archive is meant for other pieces of software to import. Its not really designed to be human-readable at all. The purpose of this file is for other pieces of software to consume it, not to give you a nice presentation of your data. That being said, this might be something we might change in the future.
23:27 schestowitz; my profile data is 3.8 MB without pictures, is that expected?
23:27 schestowitz; @pavi@despora.de the main chunk of the export is your own posts and comments. Since that is mostly human text, the compression is very efficient. So, yeah, thats not surprising. You can extract the archive and have a look at the JSON yourself. Also, thats not a silly question. :)
