Thankfully I had the foresight to install Expanse a few months ago and it has been dutifully downloading my data all this time and puts it in a nice searchable GUI. Might be quicker than waiting for the download LOL

Is that available for windows? I only have a server linux pc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You should be able to... you'll need to install GIT and then install Docker. Once you've done that you should be able to spin it up using the instructions.

Alternatively, since it runs as a "web app" on port 1301, you could easily spin it up on your server Linux PC as well under Docker, then just browse to that server on port 1301, authenticate and you should be all good. There's then an option to download all your data as a JSON :)

How long were you waiting for your request to be processed?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think just a couple days. They're probably being bombarded with requests, so yours might take longer, but can't say for sure.

Why are more people requesting their data now?

[–] Cloudless 1 points 1 year ago

so that I can have a backup of my data and then delete my account.

A few months ago I got my data in less than an hour. Now though.... I requested two days ago and still haven't gotten it lol. They've gotta be massively overloaded
