    Unless they’ve changed how it works I can confirm.
    Some months ago I was testing lemmy in my local I used the same URL to create a new post, it never showed up in the ui, it was because Lemmy treated it as a crosspost and hid it under the older one.
    At that time it was only a crosspost jf the URL was the same, I’m not so sure about the title, but the body could be different.

    The thing would be to verify if this grouping is being done by the UI or by the server, which might explain some UIs showing duplicated posts.



  • Ah, then no, the last thing I knew about it you can’t migrate accounts from one server to another, which is what you’re trying to do here.
    As I mentioned if you were able to move the keys which identify your account it would be easy for someone to impersonate you.
    Also, your public keys are shared among all the instances you’ve interacted, so this might break your interactions there.


  • Do you still have the old database? You should be able to move your instance around as long as you have a dump of your DB, that’s where all the keys of each community and user in your instance are. Those are the ones telling other instances you’re actually you, if you loose those I don’t know what can be done so other instances flush your old content and treat you as a new account. But I would count on thi s being a feature since it could lead to people impersonating someone else if they get a hold of the domain without the DB.

    EDIT: amm, maybe I didn’t understand correctly, are you trying to move to a new domain? Or to a new server with the same domain?
    What’s re-home?



  • I also like local only with a similar set up as yours, rsync to and HDD and to an SSD.
    But I also would recommend you to follow that suggestion, you need to have an external backup managed by someone else (encrypted, of course) so you can have options if anything happens to everything in your local.
    It’s up to you how much you’re willing to pay to be sure to be able to retrieve your data.

    I’m using iDrive e2, it says it has a limited offer, but it’s been there for over a year.

    Im basically paying $1.25 for 2TB per month (it’s charged at once for 24 months) https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/pricing




  • Found that also myself trying to do the same thing haha. I did the same process as OP, gparted took 2.5 hours in my 1TB HDD to create a new partition, then copying the data from old to new partition was painfully slow, so I went to copy it to another dive and into the new partition.
    Afterwards I deleted the old partition and grew the new one, which took a bit more than 1.5 hours.

    If I had the space I would have copied all the data out of the drive, formatted it and then copied back into. It would have been quicker.




  • I’ve been using https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery
    It also suggests you a way to hide the top bar, it can be dynamic or permanent depending on how you configure your userChrome.css

    It provides you a way set up snapshots, although I haven’t tested the restore functionality hehe.
    I’m not sure how you can export them and back them up.

    The one I know works for restoring your tabs is https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager
    But if you use sidebery to have your trees, panels, and groups, this one won’t restore them, you’ll get back on long list of tabs in a single panel, with no groups or trees. I already had to restore a session with this one because I changed computer. It has a way to backup your sessions in the cloud.


  • You can use GPSLogger to record it in local or send it to whatever service you want.
    If you’re into selfhosting you can use traccar which is focused into fleet management so it’s easy to get reports on the trips made.

    As for your second point, I wouldn’t trust the GPS for this, it can say you weren’t moving since it only checks every so often to record the data, or maybe it says you actually were speeding because the two points it used to calculate the data weren’t the actual points you were at that time.
    A dashcam would be better suited for this. I’m not sure how they work, but most probably they can be connected to read data from your car which would be more trust worthy to whoever might decide if you were actually speeding.






  • Well, not only this data, all activity on lemmy is public since it needs to be federated (sent to all instances subscribed to the community will receive all activity).
    Which means any person can track anyone if they subscribe to the same communities the user’s instance has.

    AFAIK the only activity not sent is saved content, and downvotes from content hosted in instances which disabled them.

    EDIT: for more example, here’s my upvote to this post

    "actor":"https://lemmy.pe1uca.dev/u/pe1uca","object":"https://sh.itjust.works/post/8931097","type":"Like","id":"https://lemmy.pe1uca.dev/activities/like/f6b0cced-4e1c-41d7-bf11-349b680c4d84","audience":"https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides"  
    

    And here’s the original comment

    And all instances which are subscribed to this community need to receive this information to keep it updated.


  • The last time I checked postgres gets big becouse of a log activity table used for deduplication, it stores the data of 6 months. The devs mentioned you could be deleting it up to some point (IIRC they said 3 months, but confirm first).

    As for pictrs, lemmy caches a lot of stuff, so it copies a lot of data from other instances even when it’s advertised only media from your instance is stored in your server.
    My solution was to disable pictrs since I don’t upload media.
    Other solutions I’ve heard about are to ask users of your instance to upload media to any other media hosting service, the images uploaded to lemmy are just seen as urls, so it wouldn’t be any different.
