| schestowitz-TR | so here is to myself: | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so at first I thoguth, bytesmedia probably not cracked | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | did not look likie it | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I assuekmd disk space | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | comment span took up 250MB of DB!! | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | never mind email spam | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used an old DB backup to restore from | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot less spam in it | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | shitty cpanel takes like 5 hours to take effect when changing the DB | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't ask me why | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | lousy proprietary junk | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I hjad to leave it aise for a while | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | learning from a previous and recent experience | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then I looked at error logs | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | around the tike the site became inaccessible | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so as it turns out they must have updated php | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't think they even told us about it | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and my therme had some code in it that broke | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had rto make some code modification | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it works | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | summary: | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | php is SHIT! One day it works, then it stopes working | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the first time I need to manually fix these things after 'upgradingh' | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the sofwtare itself | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | but something like php version | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | second, cpanel is shit | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | it makes no sense that when wiping spam from the DB I should then wonder for ages | Feb 13 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | why space is not clearing up | Feb 13 17:15 |

| schestowitz | data backup of joindiaspora? With media data? Without media data? | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | According to Morbius’ assessment data could be from few hundred gb to more than 4tb. There have been | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | concerns about how to deal with users data privacy in this situation. | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | Specifically can you hand over all user data to another entity or person? To me it is | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | about weighing the interest in continuing joindiaspora up against users data privacy concerns. Joindiaspora users | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | have had time to close their account. Therefore if user data is dealt with responsible then it can be | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | handed over to another entity or person. I have the following suggestion. Get all user data downloaded on | Feb 13 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 | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | the user data to. I suggest the free software foundation. Let me hear your suggestions? If | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | somehow it gets decided who will continue joindiaspora, then they will get the sealed envelope. Can | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | we crowd fund such an action? Starting up joindiaspora again, user data privacy can be dealt with | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | by deleting a user account if a given user has not logged in six month after joindiaspora restarted. This matter | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | of joindiaspora stopping has occurred several times. For such an event instructions for the host | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | should be present in advance and funded. Joindiaspora hoster should have storage ready for a user | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | data backup. A sealed envelope. Postage funds. And know who to ship the package to. | Feb 13 23:20 |
| schestowitz | If joindiaspora continues by a new host, then the hoster’s conditions should be more | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | regulated. How many hours working on joindiaspora each month? And host should | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | not work more hours than agreed on. Also if that has implications on | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | joindiaspora. Host’s kompensation? | Feb 13 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. That’s a recipe for concern and frictions. | Feb 13 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. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | In the specific case of JoindiasporaCom email contacts, if there are accounts which don’t work, they should be removed from public posts and content. This includes: | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | The Joindiaspora Terms page: https://joindiaspora.com/terms | Feb 13 23:21 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-joindiaspora.com | JoinDiaspora* | Feb 13 23:21 | |
| schestowitz | The " Got a problem? Contact the administrator of your pod!" item on the Joindiaspora Stream sidebar (Web client): https://joindiaspora.com/stream | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | The Joindiaspora Podmin account bio: https://joindiaspora.com/u/podmin | Feb 13 23:21 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-joindiaspora.com | JoinDiaspora* - Sign in | Feb 13 23:21 | |
| schestowitz | Most of these point to incoming+feneas-association-8-issue-@git.feneas.org which does not work, and has not for many months. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | If at all possible, commit to an alternate contact which does work and is monitored. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | If there’s a list of items that do, or do not need to be addressed (you’ve mentioned a few of the second set here), that would also be helpful. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | Again, thank you. | Feb 13 23:21 |

| schestowitz | That said, committing to a communication schedule would be appreciated. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | I very explicitly said that there is nothing to communicate yet because we’re still figuring things out. We will communicate things when there is something to communicate. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | How about a once-a-week update on status | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | No. We will communicate things when there is something to communicate. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | commit to an alternate contact which does work and is monitored. | Feb 13 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 don’t need input, so there is no need to establish a communication channel. | Feb 13 23:21 |

| schestowitz | @Dennis Schubert With all due respect, I and others differ. | Feb 13 23:21 |
| schestowitz | Even a “the process is ongoing” is a useful communication. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve raised two specific issues (data exports, nonfunctional contact addresses) which have been at issue. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | Please reconsider. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | Thank you. | Feb 13 23:22 |

| schestowitz | Sure, and I get that. But I don’t have answers to the questions you want answers to. At this time, the only thing I can answer are: we’re working on it, and you don’t have to worry about the March 1st deadline. | Feb 13 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. I’m not willing to engage in that, and I’m sure you understand. | Feb 13 23:22 |

| schestowitz | Doc Edward Morbius - about 6 hours ago | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | @Dennis Schubert I’m not asking for speculation. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’m asking for a commitment to regular updates even if that’s no specific progress. Can you, or one of the group working on this (@Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) has somewhat acted in this manner) commit to this. Please. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | Otherwise, acknowledging issues raised, and indicating which are in process and which are not, or will not, be acted on, is also useful. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’d much prefer a regular status post without discussion to the engagements which have resulted on serveral instances I’ve suggeted or attempted to create these. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | In the absence of this, what you’ll get is concerns, fears, and animosity. I’m not saying all of that will be removed, but the situation can be greatly improved. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | Thanks. | Feb 13 23:22 |

| schestowitz | *sigh*. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | Sure. If nothing else has happened, I will write a comment here in this thread saying as much on Sunday, Feb. 20th. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | acknowledging issues raised, and indicating which are in process and which are not, or will not, be acted on, is also useful. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I acknowledge that there are issues. Zero issues are in progress, and I know about zero issues that can be resolved. That is because we don’t actually know yet what is causing those issues, and thus we also don’t know if any of the issues can be resolved, and if so, how they can be resolved and how long that will take. | Feb 13 23:22 |

| schestowitz | For others: Knowing what help is and is not forthcoming should help you in your own planning. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve already made my move to a new Pod. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve announced that at both my old AND new instances. (Vouching the account in both directions helps ensure against sockpuppets or imposters.) | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve 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 haven’t looked into this.) | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve 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 I’d like for that to live on. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | I’ve also been working on tools for managing the Diaspora* data export JSON archives using jq, and posting updates to my stream on this. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | And there’s a discussion for data export / import issues and tricks. as I’ve posted above. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | See the #jq, #json, and #ArchiveIndex tags. | Feb 13 23:22 |
| schestowitz | For earlier and general migrating from social network instances planning and discussion, see #Plexodus | Feb 13 23:22 |

| 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. | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | Doc Edward Morbius | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | Doc Edward Morbius - 31 minutes ago | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | @Fla Glad to hear that. | Feb 13 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: | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | Release Announcement: diaspora* version 0.7.16.0 released with security fixes! | Feb 13 23:23 |

| schestowitz | I’m 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. | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | If data changes are included, I’m getting pretty good at writing and testing jq scripts (I’ve come to understand it much better over the past few weeks), so reasonably minor changes shouldn’t affect much. | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | I would like to see blocked users included in the export, as they’re not presently AFAICT. | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | I also noted that reshares don’t seem to be mentioned. | Feb 13 23:23 |
| schestowitz | That said, most people here are probably concerned with import capabilities. | Feb 13 23:23 |
