[Giveaway] Trying to spread some Xmas cheer!

So I have been on/off LET since I joined. I have really enjoyed being part of this community so I decided to give something back. And since I am away from family this xmas, it seems to be the perfect way to spread some xmas cheer and give back to the community here.

So I have three machines that I'd like to give away:

  1. Racknerd

    1 GB KVM VPS (NY/DAL) - (11/26/2021 - 11/25/2022) Extra IPv4: None CPU Cores: 1 CPU Core (Included) Operating System: AlmaLinux OS 8 Location: New York (Test IP: 192.3.81.8)

  2. Racknerd

[INTEL-SSD] 2.5 GB KVM VPS Special (03/23/2021 - 03/23/2022) (From the march madness sale.

I hope @dustinc can help with the transfers!

  1. AlphaVPS

2GB RAM - 2x Ryzen 3.8GHz+ vCores - 30GB NVMe - 2TB Bandwidth (THIS one is subject to @AlexBarakov approving a transfer to someone. Since I am selling it, I hope he will allow the transfer.)

In order to receive one of the machines, I only ask that you post a picture of christmas decorations in your house or around the neighborhood(none where I am so it'll help my homesickness) and briefly tell me what you'll use the machine for!

I'll choose the three best answers and announce the winners on 26th!

Merry xmas, ya'll!

    Thanks for your giveaway! However, I don't have a picture. But really appreciate the GA.

    I want to use the VPS as a VPN server and for some DIY projects.

  • People who don't have a picture can just mention what exactly they need a VPS for!

    Sorry no pics here as its pretty lowkey celebrations because of covid. If i get onw will use the vps for monitoring .

    May this season be full of light and laughter for you and your family and everyone.

  • Merry Christmas to you and your beloved ones. Appreciate your kindness and hope it makes a positive difference to "someone" here.

    And if that "someone" could be me, I'll be so glad and feel lucky, and here are some of the positive differences that would happen to me.
    1. An API gateway for my product.
    2. Backup server to host my backend.
    3. I'll add your LET username to my internal API structure. If I (a solopreneur) make it big, this giveaway will make its mark and encourage more of such giveaways. :)
    4. I'll feel happy to have my name on the winner's list on my birthday (26th Dec) :#

    Sure thing, if the receiver of the VPS from us can pass regular fraud checks, it's all good.

  • Thanks for the giveaway. I'm learning Linux so it'll help me if I can get my hands on an actual server.
    Merry Christmas 🌲
