That sounds really cool! Netcup does do some interesting special events occasionaly.

Edit: if anyone wants to give all of their time (and technically data) to netcup, all you need to do is:
https://www.netcup-news.de/

Visit and find a code on
https://netcup.cafe/@netcup
https://newsletter.netcup.com/
https://forum.netcup.de/
And also on their whatsapp channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDh2HxAjPXVb2gv191w

and then: (via deepl cause lazy)
But the search is not over yet! Because the entire code is encoded with a Caesar cipher. To find out the correct shift, you have to answer one question: Which DDR generation do we have in use on the latest root server G11?

Once you have the answer, you can decode the voucher code and secure the exclusive server product.

To help you, we have provided a few tips on Caesar encryption.

Each character (number and letter) has been shifted by a certain number of digits. You can find out the exact shift by answering the question above correctly.
The letters follow the English alphabet: A, B, C, ..., Z.
The digits follow the order: 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 0 (i.e. if, for example, 8 has been shifted by 3 digits, this will be a 1 in the cipher).

We are not yet revealing the special product* that you will be able to purchase at the end, but we can already say one thing: it's small but mighty, strong and yet so compact.

Also, don't post the code publicly or it gets disabled.
Edit 2: gotta move this post to offtopic so it's not public, lmao. Anyways, the newsletter code is quite easy to find.

Hi Netcup >!Picture on the page where "Gutschein" is written, changes after a while.

We received a lot of fake orders in the past. So we ask you to send us a picture (Selfie) on which you hold the following things in your hands:

I am not giving Netcup my ID. This seems strange.

Well, similar to hetzner. Potentially they have gotten an influx of users due to easter or you are from a country that they think is "sus".

wasted 30 mins because chatgpt always decode that caesar chip wrong (missed letter ot something) then the code expired
Could you please at least let us know what plan that code used for?

Dunno personally, didn't get it as well. I wonder if there are still hidden discounts on the desktop version of the site, might try to find them (on my phone though).

xvps · March 31

I found some eggs on their website.

Webhosting, vps, and domain with a discount and some extra specs.

I bought:

VPS 2000 G10
10 vCore (normally 8)
12 GB RAM
480 GB SSD RAID10 (Normally 320GB)
80 TB/mo. traffic
€11.09/mo.

GB6 score isn't impressive.

When will people understand that LLMs can't do algorithmic tasks or math reliably.
It's a stochastic parrot auto-completing your query based on it having read almost every text-post on the internet. It's not intelligent.

That sounds like you didn't install one. (An adblocker is a browser extension hiding ads from websites, for example uBlock Origin, and it sometimes hides too much).
And have you thoroughly looked at multiple pages? The eggs are often in front of a same colored background.

Then maybe disable it and look whether you can now find the eggs. If that doesn't work, I have no more ideas what could be the problem.
