The Fifth Element.

My PC specs have plateaued as of late, but we’re both in this picture. 😅

Downloads one instance’s communities (and some other settings) to a JSON, then you can upload from that JSON to a new instance. I’m not sure there’s anything that quite caters to what you’re looking for yet.

LASIM works great. Used it to migrate my main account to an alt for when my main instance inevitably goes down.

That was quick! Logged in and went through a few skips. Not seeing anything worth noting, which is a good thing. I appreciate that it also pulls from smaller instances I’ve never even heard of.

I honestly don’t know how it should be. I’ll leave that up to you. I wasn’t logged in when I was going through communities. So that might be a way to filter them out easily - if you can pull a list of blocked instances from users’ home instances once they log in.

Pretty good. It’s kind of like Stumbleupon for Lemmy communities. The only “issue” I saw is it includes the forbidden no-no instances that are defederated by a lot of the bigger instances for being… troublesome.

Everyone’s said qBittorrent, and I agree. I found myself using an old build of uTorrent for a very long time (2.2.1, I believe). I finally realized it was probably a risk being so far behind. qBittorrent feels like old uTorrent, before it got extra bloated and scummier. It also adds a lot of features. Truly, qBittorrent is the answer you’re looking for coming from uTorrent.

LASIM can copy your current subs to another instance, as others have said. I wish there was a way to migrate posts/comments over. I guess you could just link to your old account in your bio though.

Yep. That was my first thought - how everyone says to use Matrix rather than Lemmy DMs for anything sensitive. This will be fantastic.

I mean, you kind of just described two things that are specifically hard to get working properly on Linux in general - MS Office and the Adobe suite. You’re better off using FOSS alternatives, like LibreOffice and Krita or GIMP. Otherwise, you’ll need something like Lutris as a Wine frontend to install Windows apps - and at that point, you might as well just install stock Linux, get qBittorrent going, pirate what you want, and install as needed. Plus, I don’t think I’d trust the security of a modified version of Linux for piracy. That’s just asking to be exploited.

I read in another post a while ago that there was some issue with a Windows update that caused it not to register as Windows. It was then corrected in a subsequent update. So the Unknown bump is just Windows.

No openSUSE love. 🥹

I remember there being a YouTube video of some people that did it in a small town (or neighborhood) and made, essentially, a DIY neighborhood mesh network. I keep looking up stuff, and I’m only finding terms like “relay mesh.” If I find the YouTube video after a reasonable search, I’ll edit.

EDIT: Was the term WISP (Wireless ISP) network? It’s a setting you can do on your router and what the videos I was watching were talking about. The YouTube channel is Freethink, and they cover it being done in Detroit, NYC, and Dylan’s Beach.

As a heads up, this posted 4 times.

Thanks for the little chuckle in between endless existential dread.

I think it’s a bundle, but the bundle costs more than buying the items individually - which kind of defeats the “deal” aspect of a bundle.

It’s really been pushing some old posts lately. Caught myself about to comment on a post from 3 years ago. That, and here I am in this old post with you fine folks. 😂
