As I understand it these are basically an insurance policy. The promoter takes out a policy detailing the odds of a payout being required, and pay a premium based on the insurer's risk assessment.
And of course the insurer wants to minimise the odds of paying out, and the promoter wants to minimise their premium - so the top prize is usually, as above, near-unwinnable.
Yup, this is on form for them. This isn't the first product they've done it to and surely won't be the last.
The moment the news broke we started migration planning, a short while later their new pricing came through and immediately justified the project spend. Tens of thousands of VMs migrated, a ton of labour, and even some hardware refreshes thrown in - and still cheaper than renewing, by a looong shot.
Shame, I liked VMware.

If you mean signed by your CA then this is me too, albeit with an intermediate CA in the middle (honestly pointless in my case, but old habits etc).
I don't host anything externally and trusting the CA certs internally is easy as Ionly need to do it on a handful of devices. This + reverse proxy keeps things tidy and uncomplicated.
Reminds me of Popavalium Andropoff's gutsy effort
(Guessing this didn't make it out of Aus much, there's a reference in this UrbanDictionary link for the uninitiated)
Yup, had to read it twice! Just about had a heart attack
Hi there, I recall on Boost for Reddit that I could open a post, and collapse comment threads to a single line, which was excellent - it made it really easy to scroll past comments I've already read or decided I'm not interested in, and I might be wrong but I think there was an option to auto-collapse everything but new comments? On Lemmy, replies are collapsed but the comment I tapped on remains open, regardless of whether it's the top of a comment thread or one mid-conversation. So best I can collapse to is a post and all of its top-level comments.
The other one is that on Reddit I was able to create a group and add subs to it. That group would appear in my sidebar, and when opened it'd be a feed of those subs without needing to join each one (which makes 'Subscribed' really busy). On Lemmy I can add favourites to the sidebar, but they show up in the list individually - I'd like for example to have a single entry in that list called Home Tech, when I tap it I get a feed of only home automation or homelab stuff. Then another one just for memes. Etc
If these settings already exist and I've just missed them please let me know, otherwise I'd really appreciate if they could be added to BfL.
Thanks for the fantastic app and ongoing support!
