Key points

  • They added a bunch of needless requirements around serving, the web UI seems to be going way in favor of a desktop app.
  • I could go on but you get the picture, at least make a backup first.
  • I know this post is going to be downvoted by the most fickle subreddit of all time, but I hope this warning reaches at least one person
