Yes, I did the work, but it still tries to contact the backend as I
thought it should have been authoritative about what is online/offline.
You are proposing a different thing (which makes things easier
probably).
Now I see you probably meant this all the time, but I understood it in a
slightly different way, so we need to check that part of the code to
make sure it behaves as you propose.

I know, I just thought it was worth mentioning the other stuff, and it
was indeed as it seem we had slightly different ideas on the details.
Luckily we spotted this difference, and we can make sure things work.
