it's back
because there are overdue hosting payments

oops.

Although it's quite an asshole move by discourse to communicate this so openly.

I wouldn't want to have a community hosted there when a forgotten expired credit card or something would immediately cause this message to show
- I’m not sure if the issue lies on Discourse. The software itself is FOSS.
  
  AFAIK I didn’t saw any limitation on the on-prem edition, so I don’t get it why a company like Mozilla doesn’t have the resources to handle that.
  
  And, even if they are using Discourse’s Cloud infrastructure, it’s not common for services to reach the end of payment without sending a ton of warnings.
  
  ... Are you trying to steal my handle or what?
- I hope it's just an error and not actually them shutting them down
  
  I assume there's just some payment fuckup somewhere. it happens
Has anybody tried Zen Browser?
- I'm finding it interesting, I prefer Librewolf.
  
  Do you know how can I migrate my Firefox data to Librewolf? I think my main concern is history and then open tabs.
- Yes, I used it the last three month but stopped now, it's nice but overall too buggy at least on Linux.
- Yes, I've been using it for a few months now, I love it and it is my daily driver. The ux is very nice. It is also very buggy when a new release comes out though, mostly because I don't think there nightly builds have enough users.
- It didn’t work well for me on a 13” laptop screen. I didn’t want to give up that horizontal space.
  
  You can't turn off the sidebar?
- Installed it the other day and I like it a lot so far
