Google is killing Blogspot (and you can help)

————

You can easily contribute to the effort by running these two simple steps on your VPS or home computer:

  docker run -d --name watchtower --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --label-enable --cleanup --include-restarting --interval 3600

  docker run -d--label=com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true --restart=unless-stopped atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/blogger-grab --concurrent 20 hackernews

Important: don't use VPNs, proxies, hotspots, etc.

Maybe, there is something missing in the blogging ecosystem. I'm thinking of an easy to use GUI based blogging platform that generates static files. Basically something like a static site generator (Hugo and friends) with a nice UI + something to publish the result to whatever server is configured.

> In May 2023, Google announced that inactive accounts would be deleted starting on 2023-12-01 across their platform, including Blogger blogs.

"deleting some inactive accounts" is not "killing it". They first targeted blogger in 2015 but didn't follow through then? Hard to justify a panic now, innit?

Worth making sure its mirrored, certainly. XXXX I'm grateful for the wget command they suggest there, using it to back up my wife's blog now.

Edit: Their command dint work. Downloads everything then deletes the local.

this person worked out the command so as to download the images as well.
