i just realised Virmach Tokyo deals are not competitive at all given Greencloudvps offers on xTom as well

I'm out of the loop why do ppl like Tokyo deals so much, is it same as most APAC offers - historically expensive hosting/bandwidth combined with exotic location?

Maybe the demand mostly come from Chinese where route from TOK <> CN is better than SG <> CN?

Makes sense, everytime I ping Tokyo from Australia my ping is like 200ms it's dogshit

yes and no. I've tried to bypass China firewall using both JP and SG VPS, but it seems JP gets more jittery than SG.

SG is a very well connected location in the region, but tokyo is an exotic intermediate POP as well and has low latency to the US if direct connection is iffy.

this can be seen by most providers closing SG as an APAC expansion.

other interesting POP are Osaka, Ho Chi Minh

ooc whats your standard best route for bypassing GFW, Hong Kong or something?

No best route honestly, main reason I really do not want to expand to APAC. Impossible to get things shipped, high transit costs, and finding contracted remote hands is a nightmare due to high cost of living in the big cities.

Yeah the whole firewall thing seems very dynamic to say the least, glad I don't have to deal with anything like that in Australia yet

You have better chances of winning the lottery than finding a decent route.

You don't know that I'm a gambling man then, clearly

which part of Australia you at?

Brisbane, QLD

Preowned Macbook Air (2020, M1) Giveaway

In 24 hours from now I will take a snapshot of all users who have thanked this comment + commented #THANKS-FOR-EVERYTHING-FAT32 in this thread.

RNG mechanism for fairness - @FAT32 will draw the winner.

The selection criteria will be the last 3 numeric digits of the first Bitcoin block's block hash after 3 Dec 4am EST / 9am UTC. For example, the block hash for block 872883 is 000000000000000000005cdf46b64c295ebee53c3ad67abba8daf2099d100eed, and the last 3 numeric digits are 100 -> that means the 101th (0-indexed) eligible user who thanked the post would win the prize. In the case where the number is larger than total number of participants, modulo will be used instead. (eg. Block Hash 512, 200 participants -> 512 % 200 = 112 -> 113th eligible user won it)

Rules

1. Winner must have at least 25 posts before 21 Nov (1 week before BF)
2. Winner must have at least 5 posts in 2024 (EST) in non-offer threads, so no spam bump to double bandwidth
3. If shipping cost exceeds $20 AUD winner must pay any additional cost over the $20 AUD - to see prices: https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/calculate-postage-delivery-times (use Brisbane as the "From" address)
4. Winner must be from a country that Australia Post ships to - https://auspost.com.au/sending/parcels-overseas/international-post-guide/country-list
5. The winner must accept the prize via DM within 24 hours of the draw closing and the winner being announced.
6. I guarantee the condition of item to my best ability, however this is a PREOWNED MacBook and it may suffer from minor cosmetic damage or scuffs (it's lived on a shelf for 3 years unused - it LOOKS brand new)

edit: the postage calculator link is wrong - correct one is here https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/calculate-postage-delivery-times/#/

Might do a quick shameless bump this for anyone just joining us in the thread, doesn't draw for another 20ish hours

don't actually do this

I've never actually used SSH keys, sure I've set them up countless times but I prefer to just login via password. 64+ characters & 300+ bits of entropy so I should be fine, just more convenient I guess.

The intention is to try cut down on the users who just join LET for BF and more for someone who is an active member of the LET community to win.
