    ANOTHER NEVER BEFORE SEEN SEEDBOX SPECIAL: 3 YEARS 39,99€ SEEDBOX

    Full series info: https://pulsedmedia.com/value250-seedbox.php
    These are old servers, expect an migration during that 3 years to an Debian 10 server.

    but wait there is more ... in a while, on the same series of servers. will release that in 30mins or so

    Will there be similar offers for shorter term plans for the same servers ?

  • If you never clicked checkout / went to actual payment screen you are good - you never 'ordered' this thing. Just using coupon is not enough to lock the stock - this way bots could lock everything for 24/7 and unlock whenever theirs operator is ready to buy :P

    Perhaps sometimes hide promocode to a photo instead of text & link? That would make it harder for bots.

    Have the link or coupon generated as those unreadable fucking captchas for 5-dimensional beings and watch as the chaos confusion unfold every 30mins/1hour. That's be hilarious.

    There is still several others pending payment, will cancel all of them at once and replenish.

    Hopefully, one wasn't me. If it was (the username should be obvious, feel free to remove it), it was because I clicked through and almost succumbed, but then unapplied the coupon and removed it from the basket hoping not to spoil it for others.

    need to proceed to payment gateway before the actual order is created.

    I think one deal might still be inbound ... some magical round number almost reached internally! It would be cool to hit that.

    If there's a new year megathread we will try to participate as well, but there are big changes on the bureucracy side which has been sidetracking us all of Q4, and needs to be 100% finishes by 1.1.2022 -- Socialism absolute fscking sucks

    Also, the consistent style was nice I thought and made it easy to find when scrolling through the thread later on.

    Agree, the posts were easy to distinguish and made it easier to browse through quickly and find the posts.

    A UNIX-related question, so that only humans can answer, embedded in an image using a captcha font. And for bonus points, make it an impossibly hard Windows-related question for the Windows VPS offers to try to teach them that Linux is better.

    I second the motion! At least a few should be like this ;)

    Impossibly hard windows related question. How to make windows not to crap every few days? How to stop windows self updating? ... nawh too easy, how to disable bluescreens -- you know just like with any *NIX comes by default bluescreens disabled? ;)

    Things like "what's the registry key to enable the firewall". Things that could justifiably be argued that they ought to know if they're going to be putting a Windows machine on the internet with a static IP address, but which nobody will actually know in practice.

  • Thanks, it is an awesome deal.

    Either that it or it'll be a fork bomb. I didn't actually know you could redefine :, I thought it was a builtin.

    Haha, probably you can't.

    We used to do a similar thing at uni, but instead create a script:

    #!/bin/sh
    $0&$0
    

    The other funny prank was when somebody added this to someone else's .profile:

    echo sleep 1 >>.profile
    

    They didn't actually try to investigate why it was taking them so much longer to log in than anyone else until it got up to about 5 minutes!

    An attractive deal. But I still don't know what seedbox can do. I will get Web UI or SSH?

    I successfully stopped it!

    The trick is first sending SIGSTOP so that they cannot fork anymore, then kill them.

    that 3 year thing is completely gone, but sure we could combine the time of 2 in such a case.

    Thanks for pointing that out, we'll add that to future flash sales so that you can combine multiple different promos of same plan to 1 longer term prepaid.

    That's actually a good idea.

    Both. It's basically a shared server / shell account. No root access but full shell, bunch of preinstalled data transfer / storage related apps. Can install anything within your userspace within reason etc.

    Maybe Linux handles it better, but in the old days on SunOS, the system was so busy swapping that trying to get your shell to accept any input was pretty much futile.

    Also, you could run out of PIDs and then not be able to run anything else anyway.
