Ugh. And it all went sideways. I updated the layout to use the default Bootstrap 3 layout in pump.io-client-app, and it messed everything up.

I spent some time trying to fix it. It's now only moderately eccentric. Still needs a lot of love.

I also changed all the code to CoffeeScript because yak-shaving.

It looks like there was a pump.io service spinning out of control on the identi.ca service, started by forever. I shut it down and the load went way down, so that's good.

My files

So, I have 4 laptops that I've used at various times over the last 5 years. I want to sell off most of them, but I want to make sure I don't have any files on any of them that I lose.

I've got backups of each, but I don't want to keep around hundreds of gigs of backup for a computer I haven't used in years, just so 5 unique files are still around. I only backup volatile files in /var/ /etc/ /usr/local/ /opt/ and of course /home/, but it's still a lot of data.

So I'd like to identify files that are unique to each computer. Here's how I'm doing it:

For each host, I create a file of SHA2 sums. I'm trying to move away from MD5 sums, although they're probably fine for this application. I use GNU Parallel to keep things going quickly; I think for compute-intensive jobs like crypto sums this makes sense.

find $BACKUPDIR -type f -print0 | parallel -q0 --gnu sha224sum > ~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_sha224sums.txt
For each host, I make a sorted, uniq'd file of just the sums:

cut -f1 -d" " ~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_sha224sums.txt | sort | uniq > ~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_justsums.txt
I have one computer that's my most recent that I want to keep. So I use "comm" to find checksums that are on other computers that aren't available on that computer:

comm -13 ${KEEPER}_justsums.txt ${HOSTNAME}_justsums.txt > ${HOSTNAME}_uniquesums.txt

Technically these aren't actually unique; they're just not on the keeper computer.
Finally, I convert the unique sums into filenames by referencing the original sums file:

for cs in `<~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_uniquesums.txt`; do grep -m1 $cs ~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_sha224sums.txt | cut -f3 -d" " >> ~/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_uniquefilenames.txt; done
From there, I sort the unique filenames and then manually (!!) decide what to copy to the "keeper" computer. The signal-to-noise ratio is too low for me to do much automation, except for when I have a directory that I can rsync over in total.

There are just a ton of files that are too useless to copy - temp files, dot files, etc.

I'd like to get to the point where I keep most of my stuff on sync'd storage using SparkleShare or git-annex, and most other stuff on hosted git servers like gitorious.org or github.com.

How do you keep multiple laptops in sync?

No love for fdupes? I'm with moggers87. I buy one laptop, put it under very aggressive on-site repair warranty, replace it by selling it on ebay when the warranty expires. I backup files on an external HD or in the "cloud."

Evan Prodromou at 2013-07-30T16:15:39Z

Indeed but I don't think that anwsered any of my questions. lol. Okay, well, for public posts we have to use OFireHose. Groups are probably going to come eventually. "Regular people" are not going to want to go through that process in order to add friends. And it seems like it'd be a pain to create a new account and then go add everyone from your old account. Unless maybe it just sounds far more complicated on that FAQ than it actually is. This https://ofirehose.com/feed.json Am I supposed to click that? It brings up a bunch of noise. Epiphany 3.4.2 under Linux Mint Debian Edition might just not support that? But Identi.ca seems to work fine.... Another thing, tags I am/was following aren't showing up in feeds any more? Guess that's something we have to setup on this OFireHose thing? Sorry for all the complaints but it feels like, especially for laymen users, that Identi.ca took a big step backward and I was expecting this to be more like Diaspora* yet it lacks many of the features that my pod has. :( I'm sure everything will come along nicely in the not-too-distant future.

Anarchy-X at 2013-07-31T18:00:08Z

Well, it seems to have answered your question about groups :-)

There is currently no public feed, but Evan has given us https://pump2rss.com (although this doesn't seem to work for me).

My understanding (and I'm not a techie, just an average user), is that this new version of Identi.ca is still very much in active development and so, yes, there are lots of things that currently don't work or that are absent that we had in the old Identi.ca, but that probably will work or be added in the future.

If you're wondering, well, why switch to something that isn't 'ready', again, my understanding, is that it was this or nothing. So for that, I am thankful (especially as most of my online friends that I have the best fun with are still here).

If you haven't already checked one out, I recommend that you look at using a client rather than the web interface as you will have a much better experience using the new Identi.ca that way.

There's not yet a service that shows a public timeline based on the ofirehose.com data. It would be nice if someone would create it; otherwise I will. Groups are actually baked in and you can get to them through the API, but not through the Web interface. I want to get what's visible stable and working first. I absolutely think that friend-finder stuff is a good idea; if you have a StatusNet site pump2status.net should give you an idea of how this will work. Similar bridges are going to happen for Google+, Facebook, and Twitter. Tag-following doesn't exist in pump.io and probably never will, but someone could make a service to do it based on the firehose data.

Did some routine upgrading on the identi.ca server and nodejs went sideways. I think it's back in action, now, though.

Yeah. Think basic documentation would be nice. I'm still trying to get the hang of things in this new system.

I just got caught up on requests for new passwords for people who had no email address, or an out-of-date email address, on identi.ca.

If you or someone you know is still having trouble getting onto identi.ca, please have them email me at evan@e14n.com with their username and any other info. I will try to set up a new account for them.

Also, if anyone you know had an inactive account that didn't get migrated, please have them email me, too. I'm going to set up stoi.ca for identi.ca orphans who missed the first wave.

The insecure warnings will be coming from pumps which don't do TLS. Something I don't think should be supported anyway, when you can go out and get free class 1 certificates these days. Especially when WebFinger says you must *only* do requests over TLS

Was that the reason I couldn't login? Today I tried again, no chance. Frustrated I clicked on recover password, and followed the instructions and here I am. Maybe a big hint on the main site of identi.ca should be placed to tell people what to do. I accidentily opened an account on another pump.io site (pumpit.info). Very confusing. Other than that it looks very promising.
