You still doing that get-your-old-plan-back deal? Swear I saw that somewhere, lol, but figured that might be in preparation for this billing system change.

One of my lifetimes is still on Xeon, but the rest are Epyc now (or always have been, for the more recent ones). I did ask about transitioning the oldest one over, it's old and what they used to call…

Honestly, I'm still using MS Office (365, copilot, whatever tf branding it has these days). I really, really want to switch, but every time I've tried in the past, it literally only takes a few docum…

I happily use Host-C, Koofr, and Backblaze for different long-term storage things and all have worked well!

That's fair re:SMF. I actually have a forum still running SMF 2.1.4 myself, and apparently need to update to 2.1.6! Though it's no longer open, only archived, which reduces a lot of the attack surfac…

It seems pretty obvious, no? Like unless you mean wet socks, I guess. So sure, maybe I could have been more specific.

Uhh, like 8 or 9 of mine are wireguard nodes around the world. Another is used for a 3rd backup location (weekly encrypted offsite backups of important files). One hosts a small image sharing service…

So glad I didn't end up getting anything from them.

I forget exactly where, but somewhere on LES there is a 50% off for Migadu! I think it's a code you send in with a support ticket or something like that, I don't remember and it's been over a year si…

Now, this is a story, all about how, I ended up with yet another lifetime ZAP server...

Filen, out of all the lifetime storage services I have (only 100GB from Filen myself), they have been the most...I dunno how to put it, not bug-riddled so much but just generally unstable and inconsi…

Why not, in for one of the $19 Intel Special 32GBs...my first dedicated server!

I've been overall happy with the performance of my other lifetimes, with the exception of disk speed. This one is slightly better, but still the…

Do any of these come with free socks? Or at least IPv4 Socks?

Thanked by (1)bmoto
Honestly, that seems like a really good deal. I've used my BF2024 vps quite a bit as a wireguard node in the last year, and it's worked great.

Man I wish they would have like a 15-minute window each Black Friday where I could use ZAP coins for lifetimes (or upgrades on existing lifetimes), lol.

Thanked by (1)Ympker
Ironically I think the lifetime rootserver I got, which was originally more expensive than the lifetime vps, now has noticeably less performance. And because I had one in Finland and one in Germany, …
