So, what did you get so far? (BF)

default

1. MXRoute plan which does not count because it was before Black Friday to replace a plan from a deadpool reseller.
2. A test VPS from @repuc which will likely idle - just to help a new provider getting into market out of curiosity.

Compared with Black Friday events from the past, I consider what I got as "almost nothing". For me this was the best and safest Black Friday event ever. This sounds bad, but it is actually good when I think about our troubled recession times caused by corrupted world leaders and greedy corporations.

This was one of the best Black Friday events, not because it was safe, but because offers were reasonable and people still managed to have fun without going too crazy during recession.

3 dedis (tnahosting, hostcram, ovhcloud), 1 storage vps and 3 dedicated core VPSes (crunchbits). Gonna make a sweet PeerTube federation.

I spent way too much money for 4 VPS

256 Gb of sd storage

Do you trust electronics products from Ali? What if it turns out to be only 2.56GB? 😀

This is a real card, i already have a few and they work great, the size and speed match, one in the surveillance camera for 3 years works outside even though it's not even designed for that. You need to know what to buy on Ali, there are a lot of fakes, but there are also cheap quality products, reviews under the product also help with the first purchase

How do you which is real and which not?

I don't know if any other brands do it, but Samsung have a program you can download that checks if A Samsung-branded SD card or USB stick is legitimate or fake. I stick to Samsung for that reason. https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/user-manual/Samsung_Card-UFD_Authentication_Utility_Manual_English_1.3.pdf

By time you get the product shipped from China to the US, to check its authenticity, you've already invested much money and effort.

Would you believe me if I say that Ali refunds money for bad products? Some good things I got for free because they were a little damaged.

Surprisingly, this year were no proxy deals. Luminati can understand, there is a war nearby.

Got a few dedis from @ColoCrossing and have been very pleasantly surprised so far. Performance is good and price is fair. I'm cutting back on VMs lately and going more into cheap dedis, so these were great. Sadly, most of my BF budget was spent on renewing deals from last year, so I didn't really pick up anything else.
