Back up plan
Mar. 13th, 2022 05:36 pmWith the sanctions towards Russia and the Russian propaganda machine running overtime, I'm taking steps to preserve the entries in this journal... just in case.
Livejournal is after all, owned by a Russian company and although I've never been particularly worried about privacy (You shouldn't be posting on the internet about things that shouldn't be on the internet!) there's always a possibility that someone decides the sanctions against Russia should be increased or the access to the global internet for Russian-based things should stop.
I started this blog 20 years ago, and that's a lot of data to manually download. Luckily, Dreamwidth has a little tool to help me. While I'm typing this update, the script is busy importing my icons, friends, tags and entries into https://janestarz.dreamwidth.org/
As far as I know, people using an OpenID and are on my friends list here on Livejournal will be able to keep track there as well, as OpenID is also imported.
Photos hosted on Livejournal will not copy over though, and some of my user icons will be lost. I have a permanent Livejournal account, and that has come with some perks in the past. I'm not going to be spending that kind of cash on Dreamwidth before I'm sure I want to keep using it.
For now, my blog entries are safe. Be sure to bookmark the link above, and let me know if you've got a Dreamwidth account I should add on my friends list too!
