Sorry I wanted bit to fast. Clonezilla will clone disk including huid (which can mess things up is you keep both in the pc). But then you can boot clonezilla, clone disk (has a flag -k1 for resizing partitions), remove the old disk, and should work without changing anything else. If you want to change the settings anyway, there are more options like DD. For clonezilla instructions, see https://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone/00-prepare-clonezilla-live.doc#00-prepare-clonezilla-live.doc

I would clone the second disk to the new disk (with gparted for instance) an then resize the partion to fit the disk. This way it would be a simple disk swap without needing to do anything else.

PS: I think simply copying the files will go wrong with the hard links.

They had that plan over here. But they killed it just before the war against ad block started (it was around half of the price of premium)

Same holds for YouTube. They just got rid of the only no ads subscription here. Which was half the price of premium. So they kick people out of that, and afterwards going to war with ad blockers... If they really wanted as much people as possible to pay, they would have kept that abbo. But probably it's better for them financially to have a bit more with ad blockers and ads and convert some to the premium tier

While this is a bit different than what you are asking for, there is an instance focussed on archiving subreddits lemmit online faq post. That said, I like your idea, because it also puts Lemmy out there. So that maybe more will get familiar with it. And asking a poster is thay are fine with it can never hurt.

Not totally true, the real value is combining data from different sources, but since the data they get wont have your email /ip/device/contacts etc it will be a lot harder to harvest usefully for advertising. Maybe they will figure out things to use it, but what they can use is already quite public, so they don't really need to federatie for that

To be fair, with only short clips its doesntake that much sense to have pip imho. But musk wanting to have longer vids, it would be handy, if anyone would still want to use the site...

So know we need someone to upload white noise movies, and than we can just play it in a corner to annoy Twitter with extra data usage, seems like a great feature ..
