The instance is the server. Do you mean community?

What? When you charge a subscription, you’re not saying this is for the work done. You’re selling the idea that by paying for a subscription users are supporting the work remaining ongoing. Users who paid yearly, got less than half of what they paid for. So sorry, as much as I like LJ, it absolutely does mean they owe you. At the very least they owe you an explanation.

This genuinely made me chuckle

Congratulations Liverpool!

Just gave it a whirl, it feels very unpolished. So many options wouldn’t apply until I restarted the app. I couldn’t find the option to set New as default. The drawer is too short and using only bottom navigation is clearly an afterthought. Also the font selection is terrible and actually hurts my eyes.

I haven’t used it but have been reading around various devices for the best part of a year and I really like the Banana Pi BPi-R4. It’s not perfect, but it’s a decent device. I would use it with a seperate AP though.

It’s a super simple set-up. Virgin Media Router with DHCP turned off. Pi-Hole, doing DNS and DHCP connected via WiFi along with everything else.

I really doubt he has anywhere close to even a single million in the bank. Though I would be happy for him if he did.

Yeah, Summit is what I’m using too. I prefer the Sync UX, but between missing and broken features, using a working alternative is a no-brainer.

I get that you want to be positive and whatnot and that’s fine, but Sync has never been Laurence’s fulltime job and it was never intended to be. LJ has a very successful family business which is his priority.

Now I can’t talk about what issues he has or hasn’t received. But I do know that plenty of people paid to support LJ and Sync and he disappeared on us. This isn’t the same as Sync for Reddit where it was a negligible one and done payment, this was a subscription and for some a lifetime license that was paid in good faith and he bailed on everyone just as breaking changes got made to the platform. If you’re going to go the subscription route, it’s a two way street and the developer has to commit to it too. I’m not even talking about a constant stream of releases, at least keep your customers abreast of what’s happening. One year without updates and an app that barely works. it’s unacceptable by every metric.

I say all that and it sounds angry and disappointed, but ultimately I just hope he’s happy and healthy. If he does ever come back, I hope he can commit to his customers the same way they commit to him.

Nah, checked the resolv.conf, the nsswitch.conf and tried to check the ufw only to see it’s not even available on the system. I’m baffled. Everything else on my network can resolve it just fine.

Yeah, from what I can workout, it calls home and their server validates a token

A lack of investment in infrastructure. They were too busy using the money to pay dividends and now they’re saying they need a bailout.

The time and date seems fine on mine

I’ve checked and it’s still pulling DNS from my pihole, which is resolving deb.debian.org just fine.

Given that we’re the largest exporter of medical marijuana, I’m flabbergasted that we haven’t done so already

What would you like to see?

I was disappointed to see Jimbei get captured with the weakling trio. But yeah, Oda is about to give us an epic spread for the monster trio

The whole

That means you won’t be able to control them from the Google Home app or via Assistant

Is pretty fucking criminal IMO

I’m so glad I couldn’t afford one when I wanted one and eventually ended up with a generic ZigBee thermostat
