Can I Only Update My Address With Equifax By Mail?

I have just moved and wish to update my address with Equifax. The other credit agencies allowed me to do this online, but Equifax say I have to mail them a photocopy of my driver's license and SS card. I have never updated my address with them in the past, but they already have all my previous addresses, so do I need to mail them my details too - or will they just get updated automagically?

A quick Google says you can change your address in the myEquifax Dispute Center, but if I do that and choose to dispute my current address (my previous one), I'm given the following options for "Why are you disputing your current address" - "I have never lived at this address", "This address belongs to another person with a similar name", "I believe I am a victim of fraud or identity theft and this address is not mine" - none of which fit my pretty common "I have moved".
It seems that I'm missing something here - that the only way to update my address with a major credit agency is by mail? - and if I do so, I'm also not quite sure if I'll receive confirmation when/ if it is done. Am/ will I?

Pot pie recipe with broth only?

A couple of years ago I used to make this pot pie recipe which was not vegan or vegetarian but which didn't have any dairy in the sauce, just broth. I cannot find it. Do you know of such a recipe?

I dimly recall that it was just broth with some cooked flour in it to thicken, but I don't remember any of the proportions. I remember being surprised that it had no dairy. It definitely didn't have almond milk, oat milk, etc.

Otherwise it was pretty standard - chicken, vegetables, potatoes, some herbs.

Do any Twitter/X alternatives let you upload your archived data yet?

I really gotta get off Twitter/X, but I'd like to have all my data on one service. Have any of the alternate federated services implemented an importer for archived data yet? If not, are there any good third-party ways to do this now?

I looked into this a couple years ago, before I set up my mefi.social Mastodon account. But I only found some GitHub repos with scripts to do things like this, and it looked like doing it on Mastodon, for instance, if you'd already created an account would run the risk of flooding the server you're on with your old posts.

But people have been leaving Twitter/X for a couple years now, and the services have had some time to catch up after the flood of initial interest. Is there a way to import this data? Especially is there a way to do this on Mastodon that won't spam mefi.social? Heh.
