Can’t remember where exactly this was but I think Chofu… or maybe Shimo Kitazawa. #randomtokyoeveryday
Ok, I think @snarfed and @manton might have fixed the issue with not being able to follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy here…
So this is a test to try and cross the bridge. 🤞🏾
I’ve got 3000+ random shots of Tokyo and Kanagawa in my phone from when I lived there.
So here comes the “random Tokyo every now and then” thing I’m starting.
I figured this was coming eventually. The Shinkansen has no grade crossings and is essentially a long distance high speed metro line when it comes to how it’s operated. Signaling already uses ATC with auto-parking at major stops to help line up doors with platform gates. And with the exception of the Yamagata Shinkansen, it shares no tracks with any conventional zairaisen train services. #TokyoTrainNerd #TrainsOfJapan
Canvassing one door at a time. 🗳️
starting to think about getting the new iPhone 16 pro just to get back into pro videography… Remember, I used to be a news photog but never got the chance to really use a smartphone into the mix…
OK, all the posts got imported. Let’s check the differences here with the same post in both places:
- Current blog: starrwulfe.xyz/2024/04/l…
- The test blog: starrwulfe-test.micro.blog/2024/04/0…
So how did it go?
- Well thanks to the fixes done by @manton most media got rehosted, but some didn’t Wordpress’s carousel media isn’t supported so I have to add it back myself.
- Comments don’t carry over. Which wouldn’t be a problem if the URLs were the same because I federated most comments with [POSSE}(http://indieweb.org/posse) methods. I have to do it all manually now I think… If I can do it.
- Categories are intact, but I forgot microblog doesn’t do tags, converting them into catgories too… I have 34 categories now. 😅 I’ll need to do something about that.
- URL structure didn’t carry over… there might be dragons on this one.
- It was pretty quick– but there’s no status or options page to monitor progress, so I have to eyeball it by just refreshing the new blog in another tab.
Next Steps
1️⃣ Since the URL structure didn’t carry over there’s going to be a lot of link rot. (I don’t know if that’s such a big deal though– it’s a personal blog so its not a big deal maybe but not having a way to fix that or just cut and paste front matter is something I’d like to see get added in at some point. –@help, is there something I’m missing? 2️⃣ I’ll need to manually move the media that didn’t make it over. Not a difficult problem though. 3️⃣ Figuring out commenting/federating/crossposting is going to be a second; the Wordpress blog is fully functional with links to everything microblog can do but it’s just done differently so there’s going to be some changes I think. Keeping links to the original post via URL structure would make this easier since most of the discussions were federated elsewhere. 4️⃣ Explore the micro.blog universe of apps, hacks and other goodness while refactoring so I can migrate fully by next weekend.
📺stay tuned!
OK, time to see if I can try migrating starrwulfe.xyz over here to micro.blog after some changes with my backup files along with the import system have been made. Also shout out to @manton for his help with this. Can’t beat the community here!
Turns out it these Mr Beast Feastables ain’t half bad!
