mcscx3: RT @erkanyilmaz yeah :-( it's not entirely #Evan's "fault". The scared, put-off #identi.ca users could just look out for other communities, software (like #statusnet or #friendica), not sure if it's only "laziness" or the lost #trust (in #opensource run things). #otoh each one of us can do more PR for such communities/software: the failure to do that helps in the end big silos like #twitter (not sure if comparing it to the elections is a good analogy: people who do #not vote will get hurt in the end)

mcscx3: @broniebrown I have PearOS #Linux on my netbook, which looks very similar to the ElementaryOS in the video because it uses desktop stuff from the Elementary team. It's ubuntu-based, so I think I should be able to install Ubuntu packages like Thunderbird, which is not known to crash often. http://pearlinux.fr/discover/

mcscx3: @erkanyilmaz @lohang The Quitter problem of hanging queuedaemon is about to be solved. Queue is being processed & 9 hour old dents are arriving at our personal timelines at the moment. I think as soon as the 1045 dents will have been processed (which might take some more minutes ;-) operation on Quitter will be back to normal. Thanks to Quitter admins @hannes2peer & @3mp0!! :-)

mcscx3: @lohang That's how it's supposed to work :) So you will have your subscriptions again on your new instance additionally to them still being subscribed on the old instance. But: there are many reports that export from identica wasn't possible from the web ui if you had more than 6000 or 60000 (?) thousand dents

mcscx3: @lohang exporting my profile and importing to other instances did work for me, but I had only some hundred dents then; nonetheless I needed to repeat the import procedure about 7 times until all my dents & subscriptions were imported. RD 1) do we have anyone in the !fediverse who actually managed to restore their backups from old #identiverse?

mcscx3: @coffeecream when I look on RDN's public timeline I see new local dents coming usually every minute, sometimes every few seconds. That's fast, and they're all from local users... There are also _hundreds_ of groups -- way awesome. RDN has most certainly more groups than the rest of the statusnet #federation together

mcscx3: @cabal The day you installed Statusnet to create Rainbowdash was really a good day, even if the software may have confused you :-) It's an amazing place and probably the largest and most active Statusnet instance by far. Unfortunately I'm not a Brony myself, maybe only for lack of time.

mcscx3: @widget Sorry to hear that. Every trojan infection case maybe different. Was the malware still active after applying ComboFix? Or was the system 'just unusable' because the trojan or its removal caused irreversible damage?

mcscx3: @widget In my experience all the Antivirus software from big companies for Windows is not very effective against today's sophisticated trojans, botnet clients etc. If you really don't want to wipe the whole disk and re-install everything from scratch: I had good results using ComboFix from a website called bleepingcomputer.* I used it on many infected Windows PCs after already having applied multiple traditional AV software and it found and removed *remaining* trojan stuff in every case. I always do an image-backup of the infected system before.
