not sure if you are interested in a managed PaaS that gives you the control of self-hosting without the maintenance, but take a look at https://usectl.com/


damn, that’s rough. The no warning / no explanation part is the worst.

stuff like this is why i’ve started leaning more toward things i actually control, self-hosting when possible, or at least keeping setups easy to move around. getting locked into one provider can bite you out of nowhere.

doesn’t help your situation now, but it definitely makes future hits like this less painful. Hope you didn’t lose anything important.


this!


this is a cool little walkthrough for anyone starting out. it's funny how much of this becomes muscle memory once you've done it a few times, but these days I just spin up Kubernetes instead and sometimes i would be lazy even for that, so i use some platforms, like UseCTL that handles the parts that used to be painful. configuring NAS would become an ancient knowledge soon :c


this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c



That was a bad acquisition and their parent company is now in a bind, but I don't see a world where they can't sell it somewhere. Hopefully it doesn't end up in private equity hell because the 600/650 line is legendary and the HDB 630 is a true leap forward.

By this time next year we'd be seeing some Chinese owned company producing "Sennheiser HD9000000000+ Pro" headphones that are leftover Shrek themed earbuds that smoke when you turn the volume up too high.


I think that's unfair - if HiFiMAN, Moondrop, or even KZ bought up the Sennheiser assets there would be very little difference. (HiFiMAN had QC concerns 7-8 years back but as far as I've heard they have been much better over the last 5 years.


Fair point. I have a set of HiFiMAN cans that I adore.


Senheiser's CONSUMER side of the buisness is basically dead. Senheiser still makes headphones and such with the focus more on business/production products


That's a bummer. I was just wondering where my HD 280s went (did I sell them when I emigrated?).


this is quite sad. i used to love and recommend sennheiser wholeheartedly. when i migrated back to the states they were the pinnacle brand for me. :(


Got a source that isn't ai slop?


The first line of the linked article contains a link to Sonova's statement (Sennheisers new owner).

It's actually much worse than the linked article though, since it's corporate BS style AI generated slop.

My 6xx still worked when I left it at home when moving countries for my siblings to use. I really loved that headphone!


Similarly sad for their PC38X headset. Though I know they shut down their Epos brand it was under a while ago.
