I don’t think the article was trying to imply that they weren’t already in use in electric cars, just that they would be better for them.

Was that the joke? I don’t know if I was misunderstanding, but I thought the loud crow was supposed to be a new Linux user complaining that the few-mentioned easy-to-use distro’s being too many options.

No worries. Thanks so much for uploading it. Glad I reached so many people before the time.

Thanks. Sorry for the hassle.

Hey, just letting you know that there’s less then 33 hrs remaining at the time of writing.

Hey, even though I’m not officially part of this project, I’m sorry to say that at least for the period of April 6, at 12PM to 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), the maintainer of the server mistakenly didn’t see that the server had run out of storage space. This means that any dumps made by anyone within this time period didn’t actually get archived in the end. The exact amount of time is unknown. This 4 hr period is just the least amount of time the server was down for, so for all he knows, it could have been for the entire day of April 6th up until 4PM in the afternoon (PDT). Again, even though this wasn’t because of me, I’m sorry about this. If you can, could you please make the dump one last time if possible? As the archive servers are now working correctly again.

I appreciate you’ve gone to this much effort. Thankyou. I’m so sorry if this affects you. Because your message is 13 hrs ago, I will assume that you weren’t affected by this, so you likely don’t have to worry:

There was an announcement on the Discord by the maintainer of the server which the entire archive is stored on. He announced that he’d accidentally not noticed that the server storage-space had run out, from all the dumps being made. This means that for at least 4 hrs, all dumps made by contributors were not being received, even though they thought they had been. Here’s the screenshot of the post.

So the servers were first overfilled starting April 6, 12PM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT); and was fixed by the server maintainer at 4:08PM (PDT). However, all he knows is that the full amount of time the server was having this issue was “at least a 4 hrs”, so it could have started some hrs prior to 12PM; it could have even been the entire day for all he knows. I know this is annoying. I’m not officially a part of this project, I’m just spreading the word, but I’m still sorry for you if this affects you. If you think you made your dump within this time period, you will need to make the dump again. Otherwise, if you made the dump prior, but on the same day, it might be worth re-dumping, because your original dump may have not actually properly uploaded due to this mistake on the server-owners part.

Please forgive me. That information was wrong, the data does not stay after factory resetting. I’m editing my comment to clarify this.

I used the modded method so I’m not sure I can help you personally, but the people over at Discord will be very willing to help. Here is an invite to the Discord https://discord.gg/bVpaR9EY so you can get help; I’m sure they can help you. Otherwise, there is another method listed on the site that doesn’t involve Python, but it only works on the New 3DS or New 2DS though. I don’t know if the method is any more or less difficult, though.

Hey. Gotten around to it yet? Just checking in with a few of the “I’ll do it later posts”.

Hey, you looked further into getting it done yet? I’ve had a lot of “I’ll do it later” posts, so just checking in on some people.

Hey, just checking in and seeing if you remembered to make your dump yesterday? Just in case you forgot.

Don’t mean to bug you, but did you end up getting it done? Just wanting to check in.

Note that if you got the console second hand (even if it was factory reset), apparently, the SpotPass data stays on the console in the background, so it may be of more help than you think.

Edit on May 13, 2024 (Originally commented April 5): Sorry, but this information was incorrect and no data remains after a factory reset. Mainly making this edit for future readers.

Thanks a lot! Don’t forget about the time-zone information so you don’t miss it. April 8 at 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

Thanks a lot for that! Why didn’t I even think of doing this?

r/wiiu mods were good. Pinned my post. r/gaming on the other hand… well. They took it down because it had a singular link to this lemmy post at the bottom which was apparently spam according to the moderator I appealed to in DM’s.

Thanks for the suggestion. My post over there currently has 48 upvotes and had at least one person comment they’ve uploaded their data; a few others said they will do it “soon” or “tomorrow”

Thanks a lot for the help!
