The way I moved our entire #yunohost server from one bad drive to another was a lot easier than using the Yunohost backup and restore methods.

Our server has 2 drives. 1 x Nvme of 1TB (where we store Yunohost basically and boot from it), and 2x 4TB HDD merged into a single 8TB one, where we host the data for our Peertube and Nextcloud.

The Nvme was dying.

Solution? ddrescue!

Basically I booted into a rescue system (debian) via Hetzner's dashboard. Made sure the Nvme was unmounted. Mounted the 8TB HDD. And created an image file of the entire system of the bad Nvme to the 8TB HDD. Took around 2 hours.

Then asked the Hetzner team to replace the Nvme. Now again boot into recovery mode and simply restore the image to the new Nvme.

Worked like a charm! Restored everything...partitions, databases, driver's IDs....all!

4-5h to move it all. Sure more hours in total but the image creation and restoration was not long.

Rebooted and we are back!

It was much easier than to restore 10+ applications with huge databases.

So now our TROM.tf is back with our services....Nextcloud, Peertube, Friendica, and more....

I so recommend this approach if you are in a similar situation!

If this (12 original hand made toys a year + digital copies of all of our video games, comics, cartoons, and fiction, + your choice of poster or comic or game cartridge twice a year, + behind the scenes and maybe discord) seems like the kind of thing you might be into, let me know!

I'm still working out the details right now, and trying to figure out exactly how it'll all work, and I'm very open to feedback and discussion.

@arrjay If everyone had their own currency, you could do exactly this! 😅

@radio4392 unfortunately our website currently doesn't work well for multilingual news items and fixing that would require some deeper website dev work first.

As a work around currently: We had people translate larger news items a re-share them elsewhere (forums, OSM Diaries, etc)!

@ai6yr Rear Entry indeed

yes I second the Ewwwwww

The idea is to use this quarterly subscription to help fund the initial production waves of each of our new toys. If we can get enough people (50 or so) signed up, we'll be able to release an average of one toy a month all year, with the initial production run funded by the fanclub.

In exchange for that, the vanguard gets 3 toys per quarter, with at least one of them in a fanclub exclusive color scheme or with fan club exclusive accessories or packaging, plus a monthly behind the scenes video, early access to comics and cartoons and video games and things of that nature, and your choice of new posters or t-shirts when they're available.

Early next year, we're going to roll out a fan club with a quarterly subscription.

I've been calling it the Vanguard of the Joyful Revolution. What do you think of the name?

@chris IMHO this increases the odds of an outcome that Trump will get impeached and removed, but also increases the odds of lots of unpleasant things happening before that: even more extreme ICE and police actions, civil unrest as well as greater war extremes
