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…

Hey, at least I can confirm something -- if you go to upgrade a service that you originally purchased with a coupon, it sti…

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…

These storage servers are such a good deal. YABS of mine below (which is Gen2 I suppose):

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

Really appreciate the update! I have a quick clarification question about the 5TB storage plans -- if my plan is labeled now as "Pioneer XNova - Storage 5TB - I185 - G2" does that mean I'm on Gen 2, …

Perhaps I went overboard on this one...

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…

Dammit.

I bought another one.

Habby Pirthday!

Thanked by (1)bikegremlin
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.

Thanked by (1)gleert
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, …

Thanked by (1)Ympker
I have a very small lifetime plan with them. TBH the feeling I get from their subreddit and discord is very much one of "just wait, it's about to be great." Maybe I'm just paranoid, and I don't have …

I want either a Canadian or EU-besides-Germany VPS with IPv4, having 2TB+ monthly traffic, and that costs $15, maaaaaybe $20/year, from a reliable provider. No other stats really matter, because I ju…

Looks like the Finland nodes are finally migrating today.

I'm pretty annoyed by this change personally. I have two lifetimes with them, one in Finland and the other in...Germany. So now I will just have two lifetimes in the same datacenter I guess? Kind of …

Feel guilty, eventually cancel to save money, which frees up money for me to buy other VPS to idle.

My LXC is in Helsinki, haven't had any issues with it that I noticed.

(Weirdly enough, yabs think it's in Chicago though, so...who knows? lol)

Thanked by (1)Ympker
I got a rootserver (KVM) and a VPS (LXC) on Black Friday last year. For the price, they work fine, but certainly nothing to write home about, and of course the point of the lifetime server is that th…
