About

Companies shut down servers all the time, and the gadgets that relied on them stop working even though nothing is wrong with the hardware. Some already have fixes, usually made by a volunteer or two and buried on GitHub. Some don't.

This site is where I put both. Guides to the fixes that exist, and replacement servers I run myself for the ones that don't. It's just me.

The stamps

  • Guide only Someone else made the fix. I link to it.
  • Untested I run it, but nobody's confirmed it on a real device yet.
  • Beta Some people say it works.
  • Working Lots of people say it works.

Ground rules

  • It's free while I'm testing, and anyone who used it early stays free.
  • No accounts or passwords.
  • I don't crack firmware or get around security on anything. Only settings the device already has open.
  • My code is open source, so you can run your own server and not rely on me.
  • Every fix credits the people who built it.

I'm not connected to any of these companies. Their names are here so you can find your device.
