Hi there!

A question about the different page option settings of accounts (friendica 2024.03).
/settings/account/basic

Right now this page want's to merge from a standard personal profile page to kinda community profile page where only specific defined profiles can publish thru it's wall to the rest of the followers.

First thought was to stay as a single profile page, allow mutual friend relations to publish/write to this wall, and change all contacts that do not belong to the inner circle of profiles to followers only. Apparently this setting doesn't work, or doesn't work as expected.
Security and privacy settings in:
/settings

Is this a known issue or some kind of misinterpretation of this option?

Next possible option would be to choose to become a public community group page.

This option would imply a continuous attention to change every new contact to followers only, if in fact this would mean that the followers would not be able to publish to the group but receive publications. Also this setting would include the risk of being exposed to unexpected posts into the community of followers whenever the administration of the profile lags behind for some reason.

The option private group looks more promising in this regard and actually would be the same than being a personal profile page that checks new follow requests and than could change the setting to allow mutual friendship to post to the profiles wall or simply define a follower relationship. The [Experimental] notice, that actually exists like lot's of years already is a little bit confusing, or creates a certain reluctance to try this option. How experimental is this still as of now or could we perhaps ask the community to run a general test on all the options of the account settings in general together with a general feed back to sum this up and come to some definite setup, wording and explanations on the matter?

Hi there,
a technical question not directly related to friendica itself.

Trying to transfer an instance from on (shared hosting) server to a debian/ubuntu VPS that's building up.
The problem now is that the DB is around 3.7 gig so I tried to pull the file with wget.

The server responds with:
rootName@VPShosting:/var/storage# wget https://domain.com/folder/DB.sql.bz2
..
Connecting to domain.com (domain.com)|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 413 Request Entity Too Large
ERROR 413: Request Entity Too Large

Can't find a solution on the web.
Google even manages to point to howTo's behind paywall's or subscribe pages, so much about enshittification ..

Did find nginx references but do not have nginx.

Also found for php.ini the following, obviously the values a relative:

max_input_time = 24000
 max_execution_time = 24000
 upload_max_filesize = 12000M
 post_max_size = 24000M
 memory_limit = 12000M

As of now changed:

 upload_max_filesize = 8000M
 post_max_size = 8000m

The error message stays the same.

The input_time and execution_time should kick in in any case while downloading the file.

Ideas how to solve this?
