  • I have two orders, one of which shows that it has not been paid, but the balance has been deducted.invoice:FA-20244277

  • Interesting experience...navigating the purchase was extremely slow and confusing... root password check doesn't happen on password input page but the one after that...then I "charged the credit" to pay for the order in the cart....then applied it, got a success message. Got invoice that says unpaid, when I try to download the Invoice PDF I get 404 and no confirmation e-mail so far...

    I mean the deal is kind of too good to be true, we'll see...

    Dear LET community,

    the preorders are now available. And keep in mind, there is a limited stock!

    The medium option is already sold out. Is there a chance that you would get more in, or was that it for this year? :) Thanks

    they had similar before, so this will happen and everyone who got their preorder in, will get one. nothing to be worried about.

    also the invoices will get sorted, I wouldn't worry too much about the current status as long as you got your (pre-)order confirmed.

  • I still haven’t received the email. What’s going on?

    grabbed one.

    Balance is deducted, but the invoice still says UNPAID.

    Is that OK?

    @FameSystems

    Invoice generation is single thread. Just wait a bit. We are booting up load balancers. The Websocket is struggling right now.

    Yeah, it will work itself out. I tried to apply the credit again, but now I have insufficient funds, so I added some just in case it was some sort of rounding error, but still no cigar.
    I am just glad I switched from per-year to per-month while ordering. I'd be more nervous if I had 80 non-refundable Euros sitting there rather than 10.

    But if it works out in the end I'll probably just prepay for the year if I'll be able to switch at that point.

  • welp lucky that I got rootserver medium, getting a Large would be tooo much resources for me

    It's reaaaaally slow now which is kinda strange when they have custom portal, I mean not like the servers can't handle hundred people retrieving the account details at once, isn't it? Or maybe the update went wrong, it still says 4.14.3 BETA (21.11.2024) instead of the promised higher version :)

    Anyway I managed to preorder the 3 EUR special.

    nah it's usually pretty fast, just because many people atm are trying to order, that's why it's lagging

    Sure but why? It lags retrieving account details like billing address, that should be easy database lookup unless there's way too many layers of abstraction. And if they run on their own EPYC hardware it should be blazingly fast even for 100 people ordering at once. I don't think many more are trying to order when there are still some servers left.

    Maybe their application is single threaded

    The only scenario I could imagine is having single central SQLite database which is single threaded and you have to wait for the file locks to access it even for reading.

    I guees that's just the price for having fancy interface with live updating elements, it eats a lot of resources.

    We use Redis in a big cluster. The Websocket is the problem. We are working on it :#

    I thought it was 12:00 UTC+1?

  • And I just got an e-mail which doesn't respect the language choice used through the order process :)

    My german is pretty rusty, but I am pretty sure green BEZAHLT means paid :D

    All is good

  • I also expected it to start now, in a minute. Missed it... :'(

    Ah so that's the problem. Well at least you get free load testing from LET :)

  • Yes, bezahlt means paid :)

    I am just still wondering where my registration confirmation email got lost, right before the system update on their side.

    Anyway, got a Large one after registering with a different email address.

    Was just struggling if pay yearly and take the 2 months for free or wait until they managed to offer invoices without VAT... At the end the same amount of discount :D

    Yeah, I just saw it. So there is hope. Do you think it's going to be Friday at midnight? Given the timezone was already messed up this time around. :smiley:

    Gosh. Should have had written CET then?

    I thought he didn't wrote 13:00 but wrote as 12:UTC. +1.

    Fuck.

    Some people have not completed their checkout. So there are still a few left as soon as the checkout is not completed in the next 30 minutes.

    Please next time if you tell time, just directly write the reference frame.

    UTC/GMT/CET whatever you wish for.... Just to avoid confusion in some stupid people like me.

    Kick them out. They don't deserve it. :smiley:

    Time is difficult...I actually think they were very clear.
    Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC_offset

    I am sorry if you missed out though. but maybe one of those unpaid carts mentioned above?
    (Hopefully mine is now super confirmed)

  • I want 24G! Preorder

  • FameSystemsFameSystems Member, Patron Provider

    At 13:45 UTC +1 we will empty all shopping carts for those who have not completed their checkout by then! This number will be returned to the preorder stock.

  • @FameSystems said:

    Dude. just write 13:45 CET.

    The "+1" confuses a lot when you use it along with UTC.

    There's also the fact that UTC is singular time standard, not a timezone, GMT (and +-n) is timezone but in practice these are used interchangeably. Better use ISO 8601 to avoid confusion but then people might find there are loads of cryptic ways to write valid ISO 8601 time, so you actually better restrict yourself to RFC 3339... Time is indeed messy even without daylight savings time and non full hour time offsets.

    True. This is what bit me.

    I didn't understand 12:00 UTC +1.

    What does "+1" refers to here?
