I have some exciting news that I can share today. PDS MOOver's last update was made possible because of a generous grant from Bluesky PBC! Thanks to them supporting my work done on pdsmoover.com and selfhosted.social, it allowed me to go to the next level with fully automated backups!

it’s clear that I’m not going to hit my deadline of the end of next week for the project I’m working on (not least because it involves me writing 130k records to my PDS over like two weeks) but that’s fine because it means I can get on my soapbox:

I need to do backfill but I may end up just doing it locally and scp’ing the database to the server because I don’t think it’s that much data and I can’t be bothered to write proper backfill code tbqh

one would hope that moderation discourse calms down once Bluesky stop doing PDS repo takedowns (apart from illegal content) and stick to labels so we can actually verify posts in context, but it won’t, will it.
