Hey there! I'm Óscar, a software developer living in Lugo, a small and beautiful city in the Northwest of Spain.
I enjoy playing with tech in general - specially if it implies console mode: ♡ keybs ✖ mouses - trying to learn new things, doing sports and lately I've discovered the wood-working and go-lang ^_^.
Oh as unpaid work... I have twins too.

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing your social connections (follow(ers|ing)):
1. Create an account on the new server.

I was playing a couple of hours with #golang in order to get something like a script that inserts #toots directly in the #mastodon database from the `outbox.json` file (you can request it in your preferences account... and yep, I'm still thinking about migrating).
Got something more or less readable (not usable yet, but almost):

I'm not so confident for now, but it's a *startpoint*.
Trying to Unmarshal a 560K json file to a custom struct got a stack overflow:
```
runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit
runtime: sp=0xc023700418 stack=[0xc023700000, 0xc043700000]
fatal error: stack overflow
```
I'm sure it's me doing something in a wrong way, but its weird #golang
