I’ve been having trouble keeping this instance up - right now, it’s a problem with proxy errors between the docker containers as well as with the Ansible scripts. It’s taking too much time to maintain. I'll be shutting down wayfarershaven.eu per 31 October 2023.

That means that the fountainpens community here will also disappear. Anyone who would like to restart this on another instance is more than welcome to do so.

@MidwayTheMagnificent I guess you could always archive posts and whatnot on wayback machine or archive.ph and follow the fediverse links for the full discussions? (i.e. the fediverse icon next to each comment/post).

I'll try and archive myself as many threads as possible as well.

It sucks because I found many interesting communities on this server besides the Fountain Pen one.

Thanks @hsl for your hard work!

That could work and is simpler - Might be scriptable, have to think on that. Don't recall whether the request archive button is a GET or POST. Parsing out the links to posts and throwing away the others would be straightforward, 'if /post/ in url'

I do know that I won't get to it today - my work is finance-adjacent, and with a deadline in the next week, work is keeping me rather busier than usual.

@MidwayTheMagnificent There's still some time until 31st of October I guess 😁

[–] MidwayTheMagnificent@wayfarershaven.eu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just looked - six pages of posts. Might not even bother scripting, that's not a ton of copy/paste.

@MidwayTheMagnificent I personally just finished archiving @onebag @happiness and @solotravel. Both on wayback machine and on archive.ph for redundance. I archived both post links and post links with ?scrollToComments=true. Good luck with the rest whenever you can if you start to 😁 It's already late here for me.
