Let's say this, it will make sense and be readable for humans if you got it correct.

I feel like it's super simple and we're making over complicated, especially with the hits of "split, reverse and join" with some of the numbers being the "key" and "FAT" is the first word.

Closest I think I'm going to get as I need to be up in a few hours for work.
FAT-DEALS-41ADFQP-24

I don't feel it's right, 🤷 who knows it might trigger a "ah haa" moment in someone else.
Good luck to everyone, pretty keen to see if anyone solves it. Or at least the answer.

Has anyone got a link to the comment where this was first mentioned? Obviously I missed it somewhere, but so far I've only read people's wrong guesses not the original.

Let it idle for another year . But i think there a lot you can do with lxc since docker is working in LXC and i'm hosting globalping probe in my LXC idle in chile with docker. Pretty smooth so far.

i wonder can u run lxc inside lxc 😜 i think not. I read somewhere that docker allows creation of multi architecture containers using buildx ?

Where's the NY thread?

Just returned to home for the day and my screen time today is surprisingly only 30 minutes and I walked more than 15k steps today

I missed out on the GreenCloudVPS SG deal but surprisingly (or not) I don't feel as bad, so that's some improvement I guess

Still on my new years holidays, missing deals too
Barely touching technology.
At the same time, it feels good to be off

Not sure it hasn't come up, could try finding the old link for the 8/8/8 deal and see if it works on there. Or try make a ticket.
Or post here i guess, don't really know.

You decoded it already though? Nice work

No doubt, but just looking at it I wouldn't try it. Guess it's a cultural thing of what one's used to eat.
