It’s certainly a nice app, but I’ve also grown attached to Connect over these last few weeks. I even donated to the dev, which is something my stingy ass never does.

While I loved Sync, I’m not paying $20/yr for any social media. If I recall, Sync Pro for Reddit was something like $5-6 lifetime. I’d pay that again without blinking an eye.

They sent me an email saying my account was idle (an always on Wireguard for Plex).

I converted to the Pay As You Go plan, and I was good. And it was still free.

Probably why they’re sending out emails right now saying they’re transitioning to mandatory 2FA…

Probably.

Though it was the official Mastodon container, and not a third party.

I went from 100/10 to 600/60Mbps.

I switched to T-Mobile home internet and it’s great.

(I actually did, and it actually is… I pay half what I paid to Comcast for 6x the speed)

If you do use Docker, Mastodon seems to be a prime example of where you shouldn’t use the : latest tag and autoupdate with something like Watchtower.

I initially installed with :latest a few days ago and it gave me 4.1.3 (the actual latest version had been 4.1.4 for quite awhile at that point). I saw other people mention that they “updated” to a 3.x release via :latest recently.

Thanks… giving AntennaPod a try…

Well, crap. This feels like the first sign that the app is going to die when it doesn’t get enough money out of this price hike.

What’s a good open alternative?

Rsnapshot to an external USB drive.

Probably not the best, but it works for my little 6TB OpenMediaVault server with some Docker thrown in.

Not a huge deal for watching h265, since Plex still just transcodes to h264 (if it ever needs to transcode).

But it’s nice if you use something like tDarr to convert your h264s to h265.

But, just the overall improvement in speed/quality is nice when you jump up a generation in QuickSync.

7th-9th Gen uses a newer version of QuickSync than 6th gen had, which adds h265 encoding and better overall image quality.

I’d lean toward one of the 7th gen CPUs if you’re using Plex.

Responsiveness is significantly better than it has been at any point since Friday’s Reddit exodus.

Well done…

I don’t love spez, but I also wasn’t a fan of mods vandalizing existing subreddits (questionably at the request of their own community). Information the mods didn’t necessarily have any hand in creating being wiped from public access – not cool…

This has all just added Google to the list of places online that now suck a whole lot more than they even a few months ago.

Pinch & double-tap to zoom works for images, and there are plenty of settings to adjust font sizes in Connect.

Make sure you have the latest version. It generally gets updated daily (or more than that). I know there was a pinch to zoom image fix in the last day or so.

Imgur is preparing to wipe old uploads that aren’t linked to an account…

In my case, that’s pretty much every image I ever uploaded to Reddit using Sync for Reddit.

I won’t lie… their prices actually don’t look half bad. Dot com is ten bucks a year instead of the $14 I’m giving Namecheap…

It just takes a really long time to restore from those backups. And weirdly, they’re scattered all over the place…

The renewals… That’s where they getcha…

Get yourself a list of subscribed communities and stick to that view, and it’ll even out. A lot of people here today have Reddit & Twitter on the brain, and everyone is racing to post the same 2-3 stories…
