A little while ago, I blogged about Life after Google+ – Lars Fosdal. In the mean time, Lars has made a lot of progress exporting the community [WayBack] Delphi Developers – Google+ (which has moved to en.delphipraxis.net !).
He is a heavy user of the Friends+Me Google+ Export tool, which basically is an actively maintained web scraper with standard output targets:
[WayBack] Google Plus Exporter – Medium: Export your Google+ feeds to WordPress, Blogger, and JSON.
It does not depend on the G+ REST API: “the app is using web scraping and will keep working until the bitter end”.
Quite a bit of that information and the feedback he has is in this thread: [WayBack1/WayBack2] Hi Everyone, We’ve just released Google+ Exporter, an application that helps you to export your Google+ feeds (profile, pages, collections, communities… – Friends+Me – Google+
Of course G+ does not save the whole thread in the WayBack machine, so here it is copy-pasted (unformatted; maybe I will format it later):

“@jpluimers @matijn ik lees miv tweede kerstdag van 7 tot 12 uur, matijn van 13 tot 19 uur, michel van 20 tot 24 uur”
Voor zometeen als we in het [Archive.is] Top 2000 Café | Beeld en Geluid zijn: [WayBack] Carmen Verheul on Twitter: “ik lees miv tweede kerstdag van 7 tot 12 uur, matijn van 13 tot 19 uur, michel van 20 tot 24 uur… “
De [WayBack] Over de NOS – Onze mensen: Nieuwslezers op Twitter:
In de nacht is er de “nieuwslezer van dienst”: [WayBack] Matijn Nijhuis on Twitter: “de nachtlezer die voor alle zenders leest
Carmen en Matijn zijn sowieso een stel apart (:

PS: Het is al vaak door me heen gegaan. De lijm van Radio 2 zit in de nieuwslezers: de nieuwslezers hebben behalve een perfecte verbinding met de DJ’s, ook de verbinding tussen de diverse programma’s. Dat zorgt voor een totaal-sfeer over de dag heen wat bij andere zenders goeddeels ontbreekt. Wat inmiddels ook helpt is dat diverse DJ’s aan het einde de DJ van het volgende programma live in de uitzending hebben, maar de nieuwslezers vormen nog steeds de basis.

I need to find a place to host “The Wiert G+ stream, formerly plus.google.com/+JeroenPluimers“.
Maybe i should do something like Lars is setting up:
I am setting up camp at WordPress.com, and importing my old G+ content there, using the Friends+Me Google+ Export tool. Whether this will be my permanent home, still remains to be seen. If you use …

The good news: Lars started a series of posts describing the process, so the reminder to myself: archive them in a list:

Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:
Dear partners, Please note that we have migrated the latest IP pools of WhatsApp to Facebook Mobile Partner Portal. Feel free to browse to the Settings page of the portal and download the latest WhatsApp IP pool: https://fb.me/mpp_support Further IP pool updates are also done through the portal and are no longer distributed via email or through WhatsApp web site. If you have not yet registered on the Mobile Partner Portal or have difficulties accessing it - please request access through the following form and we'll be happy to assist: https://fb.me/mpp_access For any technical requests please contact us through the Support section of the portal: https://fb.me/mpp_support WhatsApp team
In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]
It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:
Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)

This appeared to be a Chrome thing: [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers at Twitter: “@wordpressdotcom not sure what goes wrong with billing, but the printed html has odd domain characters. The viewed HTML is OK, but I cannot print that because printing garbles it. I can DM you the receipt links. Similar for the date which becomes unreadable (the IRS dislikes it).…”

“Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'”
Oh well: some profile characters give you a “Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'” error.
This is forbidden:

But this is allowed:

I solved it thanks to these links:
I’m not the only one bumping into this; you can not put imperial height either: [WayBack] eve peyser on Twitter: “WHY WONT TWITTER LET ME PUT MY HEIGHT IN MY BIO I SMELL A CONSPIRACY https://t.co/4CCNgNLTFu”
I tested ‘ and ” so they are not invalid any more.

Too bad, as it was fun while it lasted:
Even worse: the change was not announced, so people find out after the fact. A similar thing happened back in the “Press This” removal process (which got restored).
The cool things about the “Request Feedback” were these:

Before doing anything else: take out your data, especially the G+ data at takeout.google.com/settings/takeout, then download at takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/downloads:
TL;DR:
An excellent post on this is [WayBack] The Google Exit Strategy – alexreusch which I found via:
It looks like having a blog with a commenting system is not such a bad starting point at all…
I have no really good idea where to go from G+. The sunset feels a lot like Google Reader, after which I switched to Feedly, which works pretty well, Wave and Inbox.
There is a [WayBack] Petition · Google, Inc: Don’t Shut Down Google Plus · Change.org, but if memory serves well, that did not help much for the other discontinued products.
So before in 9 months G+ ends up in Category:Discontinued Google services – Wikipedia, I am contemplating about alternatives.
Suddenly very relevant is the 2014 comic [WayBack] xkcd 1361: Google Announcement / [WayBack] 1361: Google Announcement – explain xkcd on the right (via [WayBack] XKCD 1361 – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+).
You can register your migration at the [WayBack] Google Plus Migration Directory Form form which will end up in [WayBack] Google Plus Migration Directory (Responses) – Google Sheets (via [WayBack] I made a form that will generate a spreadsheet with anyone’s information and destinations. Email field was added so you could edit your responses, but t… – John Lewis – Google+)
Your email will not end up in the migration directory, see [WayBack] Does Google collect survey participant’s email address? – Google Product Forums
Edit 20240819: the above Goo.Gl link died; it used to point to [Wayback/Archive] Google Plus Migration Directory.
