Yeah, not meant to abuse their wonderful generosity, but just to avoid having your main account on a small, easy to lose portable device.

I should write a blog post about VPNs and Proton in particular. Love their software and service.

@globcoco

I think it would interesting, I love the subject. One of my Professors, many years ago, was in this area -- and I can see myself doing it too.How boring, Jornal citing and Academia career tracking it would be, I don't know.

I wouldn't be looking for a job, more for the knowledge and research. But it would be very interesting, I think.. Maybe... 😉

@k11m1

@pschwede Thank you!!

@hansw

>> although I do not like to have 2 devices using the same vpn

Creating a new account will only require a different email, and that would solve your concern. 👍

@fishbowl

@pschwede About more for the instance lists this :

>> " NOTE: If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at muffinista@botsin.space, muffinista@cybre.space or by emailing colin at muffinlabs.com"

so that's possible if desired. No list of blocks in https://botsin.space/about/more

@pschwede I have noticed a block, yes.

Don't think it is in this side, probably at theirs.

@realcaseyrollins @globcoco

I have a feeling that you are right -- although in the Preferences panel there's this :

https://qoto.org/settings/export

...and the text is "The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software."

I don't think the head developer of mastodon wants the functionality of people's data coming along with them, and importable as needed.

Would be nice to know for sure, if there's some viewer at least we could use to access this.

@joaopinheiro

That is wonderful, it's just Mastodon that has this rather anal attitude about it.

@pschwede

>> "absturztaube" is German for "crash dove"

Thank you, but neither me nor Bing can figure out what "crash dove" means in English.

😋

Thanks SO Much -- I had seen this page, had it open and lost it. couldn''t find, and I looked all over the browser history.

Definitively usign it as a reference - I am preparing a Suggested/recommended Pleroma instances blog post as requested by various people. Thanks Casey, I had given up on finding it again.

@hansw Use their VPN app for mobile, same account. Works well too.

@globcoco Thank you, Coralie. 🙂

I lived thru those times, went to University and only had my first calculator then, 1st year Uni, same time when I got the Introduction to Programming course. And then a following course, which applied computing to Numerical Calculus problems.

Really enjoyed writing it, all of it ws here, posted on an inspired moment, chatting with @k11m1 -- and I knew it would be a good Blog post.

It's long, but can't chop it in pieces. Hope people will enjoy it.

I should think about a Masters degree in History of Technology, it's something that always attracted me. But I love this -- researching, organizing, presenting materials, promoting ideas and pushing for action.

Much more than boring academic work, journals, etc. Still, it could be a possibility.

@globcoco

Thanks, Coralie.

Yes, I feel it's important that we stand and act on what we believe in.

Toots can be backed up and exported (along with all the media), it is an option in the Preferences panel.

But importing them, I don't think it's doable at this time.

The best option is to leave all as is, have a full backup and create pointers to a new location if a move is needed.

There's an option in there regarding a Move, but I imagine it would lock the local account, no longer posting possible, that is not ideal.

I would like to see some action, and just making it clear how important that is to me.
