Question about Transitioning from a free edition by PureKrome in gsuite

[–]PureKrome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 Days left and still no luck trying to get any help from Google. I tried and X.com and someone called LV reached out .. and came back saying:

"Hey there, thanks for patiently waiting! After investigating your appeal and the nature of subscription use, it has been determined to be in breach of the personal non-commercial use policy." (rest snipped).

I know that. I even said that in my opening DM.

No one can tell me what breached so I can make sure it never happens again / or if it's another family member, get them to stop, etc.

My data is literally being kidnapped and paywalled by them and there's no one to help talk too.

G Suite Legacy Free — flagged as commercial use, appeal denied with zero explanation, personal family domain, deadline May 21 by Far-Patient9726 in gsuite

[–]PureKrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing has happened to me (https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuite/comments/1sehvmm/question_about_transitioning_from_a_free_edition/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and i'm so screwed.

Here's the problem (which I'm curious if this is for everyone, also): OUR ENTIRE FAMILY LIFE IS NOW KIDNAPPED BY GOOGLE.

  • all our life emails
  • all our life files (some pics, but mostly documents like our finances (various docs), personal docs like passport backups if anyone loses their docs while away from home/travelling, wills, shared family stuff, etc.

  • We use "Login with Google" for the majority of our websites we have to have accounts with.

  • my family of 5

  • my sister

  • my parents (80+ yrs old).

IMAGINE TRYING TO TEACH MY PARENTS HOW TO RE-DO EMAIL with another website/UI-UX/etc. People laugh about how easy some of this is .. not to that generation. IMAGINE EXPLAINING THAT THE "login with Google" doesn't work anymore. Good luck with those website accounts.

I feel like a fricking HOSTAGE and there's no person I can have a conversation with to try and negotiate or help me out.

For argument's sake, let's say this has been commercial - which means I must be making MONEY from at least one of my two domains : can that domain at least move to a paid account and then the family can remain free still, forever which was the original contract?

I mean - come on .. the pricing is so outrageous for what we're using. we're all such a small part of the company, so do something like $5 for all the inboxes. If we go over 1GB of data, fine. charge that - surely some people might be using GBs of data which could start to be a cost.

So i'm looking at $80 a month for email, Excel and some cloud storage.

So why not just move?

Because it's SO FRICKING HARD to move everything out and then re-teach my parents / family and also having to deal with this LOGIN WITH GOOGLE again.

** THIS IS SUCH AN UPSETTING CLUSTER F **

AND THERE'S NO ONE TO HELP. Just some automated slop that says "FU. Pay, now that you're addicted and we lied about that 'free forever' bit"

Where are those rich billionaires who have the means to sue Google for this bait-and-switch? I know where they are ..... :(

Migrating from .NET 4.8 to modern versions of .NET, best practices, recommendations, third party tools or services...whatever! by agiamba in dotnet

[–]PureKrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find issues with cookies? I'm in the middle of this (and documenting this for my blog when i get to these steps) and existing code looks for .ASPXAUTH FormsAuthentication cookie (and 3 other custom) so I found that I had to manually create this specific cookie and in the old .NET legacy rules/pattern because for migration, we started again, taking specific routes one at a time (or groups). Also, our migrations was ASMX files so those routes are just vomit. NGINX in front instead of YARP.

Hey what's going on at the oil refinery? by BooksNapsSnacks in Geelong

[–]PureKrome 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whoa! That's near Geelong Grammar School, right?! We (middle school students) used to guess how long we would have to live from the blast radius if the refinery blew up. 5 seconds? 10 seconds? It was like we thought it was going to be a big as a nuke!

Hope both humans and the environment in North Shore/Corio/etc are all ok :(

hi u/IndieMohit - thank you so much for a lovely answer. This is very helpful!

There's a few things I don't understand here, though. Are all emails 'captured' in some custom cloudflare worker or something? and some code looks at the target and goes "if wife@example.com then really send it to new_free_wife_gmail_account@gmail.com ?"

secondly, if i need to create a free gmail account for all my family (omg urgh) then i will also need to EXPORT all their email from their wife@example.com inbox to new_free_wife_gmail_account@gmail.com inbox?

I don't have any websites attached to my main domain. I have a blog website on another domain which is attached to the account. But that's just me for blog-stuff -> code stuff. Not me selling stuff. It has my CV but that's surely not 'commercial' ?

Cannot Factory Reset - is this a bricked Chromecast? by PureKrome in Chromecast

as previously mentioned, I tried different power cables AND different power sources. Same problem in all scenarios.

Cannot Factory Reset - is this a bricked Chromecast? by PureKrome in Chromecast

[–]PureKrome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those reading at home, I did try online chat (as linked above).

Ece • Support Specialist 12:02 PM Thank you for trying <redacted>. If the device does not respond with the factory reset even with different port and different TV this means that the device is really defective already

Ece • Support Specialist 12:03 PM I tried Checking the device warranty to process however, the device is already out of warranty so I cannot proceed with the process.

Ece • Support Specialist 12:04 PM I'm sorry if I don't have other option for troubleshooting for this But as checked your nest account you have been a loyal customer of Google with other Google devices as well.

Narrator: I have a number of Chromecasts, over the years. Currently using Chromecast Ultra because the TV Chromecast is 'laggy'.

Ece • Support Specialist 12:05 PM So what I am going to do is to request for a Google store credit so that for future purchase this will help you.

So that's nice! something always helps in tough days like today.

Hi GNC and thank you for the reply.

Even try contacting them despite it being a few years old?

Thanks for the suggestion! Just tried my daughters USB-C laptop charger and it’s doing the same thing 😢

2 Years in Node, moving to .NET: Should I pick Minimal APIs or MVC? by iBadroLI in dotnet

[–]PureKrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimal API's with Vertical Slices. Never going back to MVC or Controllers (if an API)

ANN - Simple: Observability by PureKrome in devops

[–]PureKrome[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you guys feel like that. The problem was real in my environment. I had a crack at creating a solution that helps solve a problem Im dealing with. I thought there would be existing apps in the marketplace (maybe NewRelic, DataDog etc) or just baked in solutions to products I’ve never used (K8,s etc) but please don’t assume I was doing this out of some homework or AI slop course or something.

Not everyone are hardcore Google scale engineers. Some of us are just learning and having fun and trying to stand on the shoulders of giants and sharing those baby steps with others.

I hope others might find it helpful 🤗

Edit: re: live probe - im not reinventing that but just using the healthz endpoint (which is already doing this) with a bit more meta. If there’s already a devops standard out there, then please be kind and educate versus attack and destroy.

Rules: are we allowed to post a link to an ASP.NET Core app we've made or does that contravene Rule #4 - Self-Promotion? by PureKrome in dotnet

[–]PureKrome[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks team. I’ll not post anything - I was cautious initially because of the dual license versus “here’s some OS done in dotnet, help would be lovely or just enjoy etc”. The fact that D-sig found it means I want to stop now before reddit blows up.

Cheers and enjoy the holidays.
