I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these?

I have a family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to keep their historical sent and recieved emails.

I am thinking that this might be a bit over the top but Im interested if anyone uses the tools and recipes designed by coopcloud to deploy their self hosted applications.

For some reason despite not owning one I have alot of interaction with Canal Boaters.

They are always interested in information about places and services along canals and I was trying to think of the best way of explaining how the contribute and use Openstreetmap

Of course contributing is easy - I just recommend mapcomplete.org, everydoor app, and street complete (less so as its road related)

And then I recommend an App like OSMAnd to use Openstreetmap - But for Canal Boaters specifically - Is there any way they could use layers or searches, any tips, tricks or Apps specifically get information that would be useful for them or be useful if in a canal boat?

Im sure this has been asked before i juat can't find where it has been - Maybe need to work on how to search Lemmy better. But...

Id like to eventually self host some sevices that require external access. While I have IpV6 addresses my IPV4 is dynamic.

Whats the best free way to be able to point some domains/ subdomains I have to my external dynamic IP and keep it updated. Im running OpenWrt on my router. - So possibly should be posting there.

Free Dyndns services seem to be a bit crap. Do I need to pay for a VPS? (seems to defeat the point of self hosting)

I'm doing a quick review of the Addons that I am using on my Windows PC. I've had a look at some of the previous posts to try to get an idea of where things are at

Currently I have the following Container related Addons but I think things have moved on a bit since I looked at this.

• Facebook Container
• Google Container
• Switch Container

This means that opening Facebook and Google automatically goes into relevant containers and using Switch I can create separate containers for Work, Banking etc.

I noticed that I'm not using Mozzilla's Multi-Account Containers

Ideally I'd like to be able to:

• Have Facebook and Google Open in their own containers
• Potentially open separate containers for different Google Accounts
• Allocate other domains to open by default in a specific container (e.g a list of Bank websites into a specific container) but be able to override that
• Have links from Thunderbird open in relevant containers

What are people using in terms of Container addons?

Just a bit or a wandering mind on my part but one of the issues in the back of my mind is what happens to whatever self hosting I setup if something happens to me.

Ideally I'd like to be able to know that in case of emergency Id be able rely on a good friend or two to keep things going.

My thought was that would require some common design patterns/ processes and standardisation.

I also have these thoughts because eventually Id like to support other family members with self hosted services at their places. Standardising hardware, configurations etc makes that much simpler.

How have others approached this?

This is a sort of a cross post but I was thinking maybe to get some visibility on the issue of UK public agencies requiring the use of private social networks to engage with them - Maybe a petition? Im surprised that someone hasnt started one already..

Ive always wondered. - Should I be adding relevant hashtags to Lemmy posts related to the subject of the post to make the content more findable on other Activitypub services?

My understanding is that many people.in Russia are quite dependent on Russian state satellite TV for access to News amd Information.Prior to the war #Eutelsat facilitated transmission of major #Russian #SatelliteTV services but have reduced their involvement. I always wondered why more #Independent and #International #news and #entertainment programming wasn't made available to #russian residents. I know there isn't ahuge commercial opportunity considering the type of broadcast. But content rights for Russia must be very cheap now and the value of such a service huge.
