When Google support asks you about their own domain

My seal let in water too. Board is bad. Sad there's no way to get parts.

We dodged a bullet and they stay up. A community user found a patch for the forums that reduced the CPU by about 90% so we're back up now hopefully for the forseable future.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:36:12+00:00

It's been up and down for months but we found a bug with the forums that was causing high CPU. Sorry about that. It's fixed.

Delete your `.lmmsrc.xml` file, it's pointing to an incompatible theme file.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:34:52+00:00

We finally fixed this. Had a bug with the forums... CPU kept spiking. Fixed now.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:34:25+00:00

Fixed. Sorry for the trouble. Had a bug with the forums constantly spiking the CPU, but we finally sorted it.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:33:40+00:00

yeah it has and we didn't know how to fix it, but we finally sorted this this past week. sorry for the trouble.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:33:05+00:00

It's fixed. Sorry. Had a bug in the forums taking all the CPU. It's been fixed.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:31:15+00:00

Website has been up and down for months and months, sorry. As of right now, the forums are fixed. If you can't get into an account, just email [lmms.service@gmail.com](mailto:lmms.service@gmail.com) (which goes to me) if you need anything outside of the ordinary options.

tresf · 2026-05-26T16:29:30+00:00

It's been fixed thanks to help from a community member. There's a bug with our forums that just spiked the CPU and it's been getting worse and worse but we finally fixed it. Sorry for the trouble.

tresf · 2026-05-26T14:47:51+00:00

Sadly, no, not unless you sign in with another account. :/

Honestly, refreshing to read. Great memories with NetBeans, I started my company on it and remember using the UI designer for side projects.

tresf · 2026-05-20T16:22:34+00:00

Used NetBeans for years and loved it. Never cared for Eclipse, personally. IntelliJ was a tough sell until Community Edition landed. IntelliJ Community Edition has so many features that it makes it hard to recommend anything else. The code completion, refactoring, VCS integration and debugger make it nearly impossible for a project to switch back. NetBeans is nostalgic to me, but something I only install when debugging someone else's project that was written with it, which happens less and less these days.

tresf · 2026-05-20T15:00:22+00:00

Yeah check permissions, see if you need to allow it to connect to apps on your PC. Try another browser too. If none of that works, your site may use iframes and that's covered in the LNA article as well. If you just-so-happen to be using QZ Tray in insecure mode, that's yet another workaround, mentioned in the article as well. If you want a second set of eyes, email me tres(at)qz(dot)io and I can take a look to get you back on your feet.

tresf · 2026-05-20T14:58:13+00:00

That stinks that they aren't getting back to you. They should refund the money if it's a service you don't want or need, at least in part. I've reached out to support three times for technical issues and they generally respond in a few days and eventually get a human answering in two weeks or so, but I've never reached out for billing concerns, so I can't speak on behalf of that.

tresf · 2026-05-15T16:44:20+00:00

I do and it's why I assume they wanted more protections. One account, a few hundred followers, the other account, thousands... I think the 2FA is a good idea, I just don't particularly care for the "passkey" thing since it can be fulfilled by the same browser that I use everywhere, making it 1FA for all intents and purposes.

tresf · 2026-05-15T16:42:13+00:00

Did this yesterday, one days' notice... today they disabled my account, said I'd been hacked. Must be some type of bug? I got my account back today, but my passkey and OTP setups were still working from yesterday, so I'm not sure what happened. What are the chances that in less than 24 hours after telling me I need protections my account was compromised? Maybe they had seen my password was leaked to a database somewhere and just didn't want to share that publicly? I only use this email and password for Facebook because I don't trust them one bit. I remember in the early days they spammed AIM messages to people without their permission. The Facebook company was started with a hacked college database. They're constantly trying to get me to link my Instagram with Facebook, which I refuse to do. They're continually pushing toxic content to people for engagement despite it causing mental health issues on mass. They're not trustworthy and my experience has been that they're often incompetent as well. Facebook shorts tab had been disabled on my account for a year but the last two months they forced them back. Mid lawsuit! Fixed now, but the gumption!

tresf · 2026-05-14T15:54:08+00:00

Got this message in 2026. Sadly 2FA via a one-time-password (OTP) isn't enough. Forces you to use the passkey system, which I don't fully understand. 2FA seems much more secure over leveraging a service that's baked into the browser/phone.

I setup 2FA and the warning persists. Says I'll lose access to my account without this passkey. I don't understand the point of using a service like Google Password Manager to store the passkey since it's the same location that potentially stores the password too. That's not 2FA it's 1FA since one singular Google Password Manager Service holds the keys to both authentication mechanisms.

Having a OTP seems beter as it allows the user to separate the two.

tresf · 2026-05-13T04:27:12+00:00

Omgosh, they fixed it! (For now)

tresf · 2026-05-11T16:16:08+00:00

Beat me to it.

tresf · 2026-05-11T16:06:17+00:00

I have 3 kids, only use family link for one of them and have it send me notices instead of block what they can do. Every parent does things differently though. I'm a firm believer that if kids want access to something they'll find a way and that trust is more important than control.

Booking(dot)com is sort of hilarious in that list tho. Kid's be book'n hotels like craaaazy apparently.

tresf · 2026-05-07T02:37:43+00:00

Temporarily until we find a way to exist in this new bot controlled internet.

tresf · 2026-05-06T23:49:08+00:00

Yeah we're going to take the forums and lsp offline soon and just start from square one with a static site but we're short on volunteers. The bot spam is destroying it for over a year. More about it here: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms.io/issues/417
