    They’ve grandfathered me into Pro+ for $1.99.

    This gives me a little more time to find a free maybe self-hosted alternative or come to terms with just eliminating the function from my lifestyle. I’m mostly using it for saving things from one place to another - like YouTube Likes to Raindrop.io and some other stuff to Day One Journal.

    • @oxjox @scrubbles I have a question. When you say they “grandfathered” you into Pro+, do you mean they accepted you to upgrade to the Pro+ tier for that one-time payment, “for life”? I am genuinely unaware of the meaning because English in not my native language and some phrases do escape my grasp sometimes.

        That’s correct.

        Although, the plan I purchased “forever” for $1.99/month was then called “Pro” and included unlimited applets. They’ve now changed the plans and Pro now has limits while Pro+ is the unlimited plan. So, I’m getting the $14.99/month plan for $1.99. And frankly, it’s far more than I need but that’s besides the point; they promised us something “forever” and that was the only reason I subscribed.

        I could be wrong, but I believe the term comes from inheriting property due to family lineage. Because your grandfather owned something, it’s rightfully yours (for better or worse).

        • @oxjox that is actually a very sweet deal. I’m playing with the idea of building my own server (while keeping my current UnRaid one) on Debian server, and start making it into a NAS server. Then move to that. Its going to take me a while until I learn how to get it to something similar to what I have in UnRaid. The thing is that I want to remain on an array rather than any raid type. OMV running on top of a Debian server should do the trick, in theory, but that’s nowhere as mature as UnRaid.
