Weird, I have two torrents seeding from different States. Was able to upload from one to the other as a test.

I didnā€™t want to commit an 11 MB file to the repo.

Iā€™m not familiar with IPFS or Git LFS. I installed IPFS and tried to upload the archive, @apeyroux. I was able to use the following command to retrieve it.

ipfs get -o nix-dev-mailing-list-2004-2017.tar /ipfs/QmPppdYKjHhp8qgueQampBdNchCS59k2TRAii7gQG8B3Y7

Letā€™s see if that works. Will read up on Git LFS and see if I can get that to work, too.

Thanks, I could download it

mkdir nix-dev && cd "$_" && ipfs cat /ipfs/QmPppdYKjHhp8qgueQampBdNchCS59k2TRAii7gQG8B3Y7 | tar -xv

or get and pin .tar

ipfs get --output=nix-dev-mailing-list-2004-2017.tar /ipfs/QmPppdYKjHhp8qgueQampBdNchCS59k2TRAii7gQG8B3Y7

Is there a way to also migrate subscriptions? or at least send out invitation.

It can be useful: Generate an invite link but donā€™t send an email

Oh, thatā€™s awesome, thank you!

I found that tool. Can it be useful?

If someone is interested, Iā€™m downloading the old mailing list in text mode.

Huge bump, sorry, but I think it would be still nice to do this? Just glancing at Migrate a mailing list to Discourse (mbox, Listserv, Google Groups, etc) - sysadmin - Discourse Meta maybe there is new stuff for this in the meantime?

I have downloaded all the contents of those mailing lists. Is someone still interested?

Here is it:
