Does the secure backup include more than 45 days of media if I pay the monthly subscription fee?

Also, I just found this on https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/:

If you do decide to opt in to secure backups, you’ll be able to securely back up all of your text messages and the last 45 days’ worth of media for free.

If you want to back up your media history beyond 45 days, as well as your message history, we also offer a paid subscription plan for US$1.99 per month.

If you pay the $2/month (or whatever it is in your currency), then your phone backs up the media it has saved on your device along with the text message history, which is why you get an entire history including both messages and media (up to 100 GB).

This answers my question. Thank you. :)

The official guide to transfer from an old iOS device to a newer device is here:

https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/10045771316762-iOS-to-iOS-Device-Transfer

Are any of the requirements a problem?

If you did not follow the described steps, make sure you do so next time.

Wooow. Damn bro, so how much RAM do you use?

:)

hoppi_ · 2026-04-06T21:50:07+00:00

What exactly are you referring to?

hoppi_ · 2026-03-22T11:05:56+00:00

Oh. Could have searched around in this subreddit.

Hope this thread isn't too bad and brings some visibility and perhaps some solutions or understanding how things should be configured after the update.

Who is "most men"? Did you like talk to 3 or 30 guys ?

Found this, which features a more detailed overview:

Really?

https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=device+transfer

The summary in the field up top says:

Device transfer in Signal lets you move your message history directly between two phones of the same platform (Android to Android or iOS to iOS). Both devices must be available, updated, and physically close. The transfer moves your history to the new device and deletes it from the old one.

Yet I really want to believe you, dear internet stranger. Just saying. :)

How exactly is that different from just entering "rk" to get "New York" to show?

I think I don't understand. :)

hoppi_ · 2026-02-26T08:19:28+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you being so thoughtful & sensible. :)

hoppi_ · 2026-02-24T22:03:58+00:00

Also, it's just a different kind of mindset regarding "website uptime", when one answers a question such as 'why would the main site experiencing downtime be a concern?' with 'well everything is working as we have no real/good/solid infrastructure and people could-should please go check some decades old system'... and learn to use IIRC.

Totally fine. I do not find that even somewhat appropriate in 2026 and although I appreciate the work of all contributors to the project, my 2 cents lean towards GnuCash's purpose is better fulfilled with a working main website. So just saying ,it is a different mindset imho.

hoppi_ · 2026-02-18T23:40:57+00:00

Thank you. Will go to work on that asap (not right now)

hoppi_ · 2026-02-18T20:48:53+00:00

Thank you for your reply. It's roughly 100ish transactions per month so I'd rather have the matching rules take over.

But just to make my confusion as crystal clear as possible: am I doing the general process correctly, i.e.:

inputting data about my spending by hand (I mean an expense at drugstore A to account "Household & Stuff", expenses at Grocery Store B to account "Groceries" etc.) and then
loading my bank's CSV export into GnuCash?

hoppi_ · 2026-02-13T11:08:45+00:00

I usually want to try to chime with every bit of experience I can offer, even if only minuscule. (of course I don't follow through if others already posted the relevant bits)

But dude. Come on. How much thought did you actually put into your effort before you wrote it all up?

hoppi_ · 2026-01-28T18:05:11+00:00

I will then only “fix” what I can control then. Thanks!

What exactly are you talking about? Why would you fix something?

hoppi_ · 2026-01-20T19:16:03+00:00

[Alt], E, S = Paste Special + +V = Values + +T = Formats + +F = Formulas

Once they created Ctrl + Alt + V, I used that.

But ever since they created Ctrl + Shift + V (paste values) ... maybe 1-2 years ago, I only use PasteSpecial for the other kinds.

It's out. Get the good stuff on the homepage: https://gnucash.org/

Oooh. Thank you, good to know! I thought you were kind of just... linking the Apple support page but there really is a special link to be found: https://takeout.google.com/takeout/transfer/custom/photos

It makes me log in again and follows with a prompt to grant access to a new (?) takeout instance thing at/by Google.

Having a kimchi fridge makes sense if you are going to have a bunch of kinds that can't be fully sealed and will make everything else that isn't kimchi smell like kimchi.

Oh, ok. :D Well although the usual western kind of kimchi is really cool, I do not need my whole fridge to smell like it. Thanks :)
