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.

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.]

gov.uk/check-uk-visa is awesome and gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/wor 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.

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."

gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
According to gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/you, "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.)

gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/wor 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 gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citiz

GOV.UKCheck if you need a UK visaYou may need a visa to come to the UK to visit, study or work.

Yup, you can't just "come to visit" and forget to leave. If you arrive as a visitor (no visa needed atm for USAnians), there is a maximum time you can stay, and you can't work. Violators will get deported, and likely banned from ever re-entering Canada.

If you want to move here, you would need to apply (while still in the USA) for the appropriate immigrant permit/status.

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.

Okay, so with my #mailserver and my #nextcloud instance running very well in #microk8s I am now ready for the final (and probably most demanding) task: #migrate my old homepage / website / blog / <whatever you kids call static web pages these days>

Up until now I used #wordpress and no, this is not what I want anymore.

I had a look at #hugo and #wondercms and both look quite interesting. So I turn to you, dear #fediverse and ask what you'd recommend to me?

You can indeed #migrate from a nine.testrun.org account to another email address and keep all your guaranteed encrypted chats ....Other will notice and autoaccept your mail adress change ... See delta.chat/en/2022-09-14-aeap for how this works. #RightToExit #RightToMigrate
