But instead of just correcting the bill or removing two of the boxes, all were removed and the bill cancelled - without any word or comment. The bug was even acknowledged in a reply.

What a LET down.

@dapavn can you give this guy his VPS

In the middle of work doing that right now. I just want this all to end to resume normal life

Thank you, shit posters. Y'all made me proud. Look how quickly we surpassed 400.

Well... I think you underestimated / undermined the effect of this thread to me or other idler addicts. During BF/CM day, this thread is basically my life, yes 24 hours of it, no seriously not even joking, I even told my gf to not distract me more than 5 minutes.

On the other days outside of BF/CM, I no longer talk to people at work, I no longer focus at meetings or codings, I lose in all board game sessions because I am busy refreshing this thread / thinking about it, I no longer doom scroll social media because the only thing I scroll is this thread, I have to pull up this thread everywhere anywhere.

Anyway ya that's the story of how this shatter my life, I know I have to do something so I am gonna let myself continue until new year and that's it.

Fine, you want a better deal? It's now recurring.

Can we have some small $7/yr package please

Provide a 4 paragraph justification for a single $7/yr package, including reasonable desired specifications. It must not be using any AI to generate the paragraph, I want your heartfelt answer, I want you to make @FAT32 tear up with joy.

Dear @SilverCreek

First and foremost let me thank you for everything you brought us this year. You have been extremely generous with your giveaways and to me in special. I know it's ‘just’ marketing to some extent but you truly made these festive megathreads unforgettable, you made us feel special and appreciated. You made us feel like a real community.

Maybe not by some, the boys might have been trolling, misbehaving or under appreciating your patience, understanding and time spent with us bunch of lunatics. Truth is, you made the community come closer together. New relationships were formed, a megathreads squad was formed. Memes entered, rigged giveaways, feminism is definitely not a thing here anymore, lots of FOMO, and you played a major role in that.

Let is not just about deals, it's about sharing and caring. It's about community. It's about appreciating each other, no matter our differences (bar @Vojta702 , you’re a proper twat). Tech talk, boobs and fun is what brings us together. Them boys might get noisy but trust me, they are a special lot. Special for being part of this community. We feel right at home here and we sincerely care for one another. As we do for our providers.

providers-lives-matter

Now, I joined LET some 10 years ago. Why? I had little money to spend, moderate knowledge but did want to advance myself. Teach myself. Make me become the better version of me. Let has taught me to max out minimal resources to reach my goals. Something I have never forgotten.

I have used numerous low-end hosts over the years. Some I’m still with after a decade. Why? Because they stick to their offering and are fucking approachable. No bullshit, they just make things work. I don't need heavy resources. I don't make millions. I just want low-end servers for my projects and a host that sticks around and understands the mind of a proper geek.

Loads of deadpools along the way. Some caused drama, popcorn sales shot through the roof. What I remember most though, are those who stuck around. Those who excelled. @jar @fransisco @ramhost @ … you fill it iin. I have a feeling @SilverCreek will make the list.

So them GenZ people will probably think, what the fuck can you do with 756Mb Ram, 10 GB disk 1 core, some traffic. My answer is, a fucking lot. Its not about size, its about how you utilize it. I think most of the boys can second that as wel… lets be honest…

But i digress.

So yeah, I’m looking forwards to establish an ongoing relationship with @SilverCreek. Just 7/y for little resources. It doesn't break the bank. I won't be noisy. Just living up to what let is all about. At proper let pricing, we’ll look each other in the eyes 10 years from now, having a drink, shedding some tears as we know we did it. We brought the community joy and comradeship. We brought the community deals. You exceeded expectations as a business. We exceeded expectations as human beings.

You beautiful bastard. #PLM. Just for you, you can have a VPS for $7/yr or you can choose to give it to anyone of your choosing for $7/yr. Only one.

Specification:

• 4 GB Memory
• 4 vCores
• 44 GB NVMe Storage
• 4 TB Bandwidth
• 1 IPv4
• US Only

I think I'm gonna keep it. Gonna flex this all year. Hard cope for @emgh

Thanks for everything man!

p.s. In your job/relationship/LET ... give only as much as you think is worth the returns.

p.p.s. - Surely you know that we jest

What is normal life? This is life: adrenaline, suspense, drama, regrets, hype, shitposting, GIFs, thanks and HoeHoeHoe, all in one single thread. If may I dare say: this is life, right here, right now.

But things are changing. New datacenters are being built left and right in India.

Hopefully will be much better and connected and ofcourse cheaper and faster bandwidths
