Is it against LET's ToS if I scrape the webpage to send notifications through Discord? I don't want to be constantly refreshing this page, so it would be nice if I am allowed to do so (as there is also no RSS feed for LET).

meh i don't think it is, but i think it's a dick move tbh

i was also thinking to send admins a email regarding that and make a free for all way to fetch some things of let without full api access

How'd you get blocked by cloudflare? How often are you fetching data?

I don't even try to keep up, I never can.

How's it go @bakageta -- has the shipment arrived? Sorry, haven't checked tracking - but if it did, hope you enjoyed the cool swag.

It looks like USPS did their usual thing and somehow managed to shuffle it halfway around the state for an extra day, despite the fact that I'm like 40 miles away. Should be out for delivery today though, fingers crossed

Oh my goodness, that's insane! Do you experience that a lot for your address?

That's fairly new, the last 2-4 months. I have no idea what happened, but now around 1 in 4 of my packages get routed all over like that, the rest of them are normal. I gave up on worrying about it too much, at least they don't destroy the packages like UPS or lose them like DHL.

Thanks again! Some really neat swag on top of the motherboard, I'll definitely put the deskmat to use. Now to figure out what cpu to throw in this. I'd love to grab a 5950x, but there's no way I'm paying $530 for one when the next gen is already out, they've been around that price at microcenter for ages now. Maybe I can find a good deal on one for black friday, otherwise I think this is getting a 5800x.

Understood, and proper attitude -- don't let it control you, what happens, happens. At least the package made it Glad you're digging the swag too!

Also good choice on the processor, a 5800x isn't a bad choice.
