Bandaid Engineer. I post mostly about coding, ATProto, embedded devices and things like that. Sometimes serious, mostly just killing time.

I wish y'all nothing but good luck and the best. We share a lot of the same goals and want to make sure we help people stay safe and secure, and I think we will both be abled to. If there is something I can help out in the mean time please let me know

have the pdsmoover.com/moover/eurosky.social link to help with prefilling some details and may hopefully help decrease that failure rate. PDS MOOver is in sveltekit right now and y'all are also welcome to clone it and rebrand to fit more needs in the short term or do a bit more UX

those points I am very excited to see a server side solution appear. I just ask that you may want to take a little more time to address some of that. I hope I am overreacting about those concerns, and I want to see y'all succeed and why I raise them. It's not a perfect solution for y'all. But I do..

I've mentioned about it before and saw that y'all made some changes. But I have some serious concerns about using goat as the backend for it. I'm very afraid it will not let y'all be able to help keep the promises to y'alls users. Storing passwords is also a bit scary, even encrypted. But besides

I always regret not having proper metrics in place for PDS MOOver to show migrations. But If I had to guess it's well over 500+ migrations and many are also not as familiar with the lingo. moover is def far from perfect and I think there's plenty of room for other migrators. With y'alls being one.

Hey I'm excited to see more migration services and wish y'all nothing but the best with it to keep your users safe and secure. I've also spoke a few times that I don't think there's a one size fits all PDS migration tool out there and orgs like eurosky it's probably best to host your own server side

Thank you! And I appreciate you! I should have really tagged you in it last night but hereβs one great example. You saved @goose.art from uploading a ton of files to selfhosted lol. I donβt think I would of thought to catch that edge case

I think there are several roads to safety with your social identity on atprotocol. That is why you may see me pop up on a lot of different projects trying to help if I can. Together we are stronger and can help a lot of people. And I think and hope we can continue to help them together.

I really love "people over platforms". The world is in turmoil, to say the least. Social media is something many use for news, friends, or as an escape from the world. You should feel safe and comfortable using it. And that's something I think I can help provide to the ecosystem and I have tried to.

I've always tried my best to let my actions speak for themselves. As I think that can speak more than words. But I wanted to share some thoughts.
Every community tool I've created for the atmosphere has been done with the full intention of helping keep people safe and secure with their social media

Glad to see you got this one back!
PDS MOOver may be a bit awkward but can handle the migration. There probably won't ever be a tool to completely handle the whole migration on the account of the controller of the did dock. WIth PDS MOOver can un check everything but repo and blobs for it

I wrote PDS MOOver originally to be like goat. Client side and in the browser to make it easier for anyone to use and to solve the timeout issue. I also have a link for eurosky that autofills out some info to make it a bit easier to use

I'm not sure if mary's has been tested fully. But she always does great work and will let her say a bit about it, I haven't dug into it yet sadly.
Goat is all clientside and done via a CLI. If it takes longer than 15mins it may time out and you have to finish it manually.

I think I got PDS MOOver out a smidge earlier than tektite.cc. Like maybe half a week, and I think I only beat Clinton to get it out first cause his is so much more user friendly lol. We were both chatting when we started them. Always called tektite the rockship and mine is a honda civic

I know y'all are writing your own migrator to solve the hiccups y'all are hitting.
But if you switched out your doc's for the link there to this one for PDS MOOver. It auto fills out a lot and will hopefully help some
