Hello Fediverse! #introduction
dComms is a project by eQualitie that provides a curated and secure deployment of decentralized communication tools for civil society including #Mastodon #Peertube #Element #DeltaChat etc. #dComms creates small-world networks for reliable communications in low-bandwidth environments, resistant to censorship and shutdowns.
We are now actively working on server deployments in partnership with NGOs in 5 countries and help local communities #migrate to the Fediverse
→ Join seabirds as they #migrate, encountering #human communities along the way

“In the town of San Quintín, #Mexico, the #seabirds’ late-fall arrival is greeted by a joyful festival. In the early spring, researchers working on the coast of the #US state of Washington engage in a tagging initiative to track their movements. And in Hooper Bay, #Alaska, […] a Yup’ik community gathers #eggs in an annual harvest that’s endured for centuries […]”
I always loved to be able to backup of the home folder on #linux and basically take that from one install to another without loosing anything important. But with #flatpak installed inside the user folder, it adds another layer of magic. I was already amazed, when I realized the appeal of user partitions on linux, some years ago. Windows has nothing comparable.

KDE Migrant comes in version 2 with more user-friendly configuration and one-click inclusion of KDE, Plasma, Flatpak and Snapcraft configs:

I’m looking for a tool to to #migrate #Instagram follows to #Mastodon or #Pixelfed.
I’ve used similar tools to find and follow old Twitter connections on Masto & Bluesky. But can’t find anything for Insta.
Most of the music community, frustratingly, isn’t budging from Insta. I think being able to recommend something like this could help!
@mastodonmigration more reason to #Migrate to #Mastodon, hey @mastodonmigration ? :D
@DevonEllington
The way to migrate is built into the Mastodon web app.
Go to Preferences, click on Import & Export, click Export, click Request an archive.
It will take some time, but you'll get a download link. Download to your computer. BTW, this is how you backup your Masto-life. You should do it often.
The page also includes lists of follows, mutes, block, etc. These are CSVs and they are human readable in Excel or Numbers.
Create an account on another instance ASAP.
Return to Preferences on the new instance. Click on Import & Export. Click on Import. Click Upload and specify your downloaded archive.
You can also import "Data." I think (but don't know) that this will restore lists of things like who you follow. Seems dicey to me since following is regulated... Worth a try, maybe it requests that you follow. Try it.
DO THIS NOW. Then toot to your timeline that you have a new account. Those who are interested can follow it.
I may have missed a detail, so the sooner you try this or Google it further, the better off you will be.
HTH
[Edited: Added more information regarding CSVs.]

I started posting in #Mastodon in 2018 but recently I #migrate the instance to mastodon.social. If you are curious and want to see what did I post before, just check my frozen profile at http://mastodon.cloud/@torresburriel
please help evel!: "My #family & I are trying to flee the country! Please help us out, so we can buy traveling specific things (like compression socks, #cat carriers, #passports, airline tickets, #visa fees, [etc]) or to offset monthly costs so more funds can go to immigration specific costs." Anything helps - xen needs to cover passports and a marriage certificate next.

https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa is awesome and https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/work/longer_than_six_months probably applies to many people considering the UK.
I'm going for UK naturalisation soon, whenever I can pass the awful Life in the UK Test. (New residents don't need to think about LitUK prep or anything, but the fees for any application are expensive.
You also generally have to apply from your country of nationality (/ residence?) in advance, but I will check on that. Might have changed, too, tbf.
https://www.gov.uk/entering-staying-uk
Anyone with professional qualifications, especially "Health and care professional, Digital technology professional, Academic or researcher, Work in arts or culture, Professional sportsperson, Religious worker, I want to start a business."
https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
According to https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/your-job, "The minimum salary for the type of work you’ll be doing is whichever is the highest of:
£38,700 per year, OR the ‘going rate’ for the type of work you’ll be doing."
I work(ed) in IT and never came close to that. Unfortunately, this particular route is not likely to include most people under 35, except maybe the furries or something. (But other VISAs might be fine.)
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/work/longer_than_six_months/other has a good amount of detail to start with.
However, the current nickname of 'TERF Island' is worth bearing in mind. If people have british or irish family, probably still less disruptive to come here, but their HRT is very likely to be disrupted following the stil-upheld Cass Review (or report, icr).
People from or with Commonwealth Country family or birth certificates are also well-placed to come, but again, bear in mind the Windrush scandal, where the gov insisted on trying to deport people who were here perfectly lawfully ffs.
Any EU people https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families
Es steht ein Umzug vom Samsung S7 (LineageOS 19.1) auf ein Fairphone 3 (dann LineageOS 21) an.
Gibt es Erfahrungen/Empfehlungen für einen derartigen Umzug in der Praxis, bei dem keine Daten in fremden Cloudspeichern landen?
Die minimalen Google-Dienste sind zwar wegen ein paar Apps installiert, ansonsten blieb Google aber als Datenspeicher im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten ungenutzt. Wo immer möglich, stammen die Apps von F-Droid oder kamen manuell als APK aufs Smartphone.
Was ich habe: Komplettes Backup der Apps und ihrer Daten auf SD-Karte via Neo Backup. Allerdings sind meine Erfahrungen aus früheren Zeiten (Titanium Backup und Wechsel auf eine neuere LineageOS-Version auf dem selben Gerät) mit derlei Backups eher gemischt: Bei vielen Apps stimmten nach der Wiederherstellung Berechtigungen nicht, ließen sich Einstellungen nicht ändern, manche Apps stürzten fleißig ab, letzten Endes habe ich IIRC sehr viel dann doch neu installiert und konfiguriert und manches mühsam aus einer rsync-Spiegelung der Gerätedaten gerettet.
Migrate-GPE wäre ebenfalls noch auf dem Smartphone vorhanden, weil ich darüber mal Gutes gelesen hatte. Habe es aber noch nie verwendet.
What was homo #sapiens' home after #leaving #Africa? New #study reveals
Following Homo sapiens' emergence in Africa over 300,000 years ago, where did they #migrate approximately 60,000 to 70,000 years ago? A recent report has answered teh question, #Reuters reported.
The final resting place of those brave women and men after having left Africa is still a subject to which much attention is paid.

#Forgejo just announced of becoming a hard #fork. Previously, it was a soft fork of #Gitea. This is important news for all maintainers of #Gitea instances.
If you mainain a #Gitea instance and care about #FreeSoftware, I strongly recommend to switch to #Forgejo soon as it takes user freedom more seriously; unlike Gitea, #proprietary tools like Discord and Crowdin are rejected.
Now is a good time to #migrate because it's still easy, but it might become harder later.
