    BTW, how many merch GAs have already happened this time around? I am guessing only 1?

    What was the merch GA that they did? I had not noticed it or just completely missed it. I know Dustin has sent around some merch on the side to people for which I am grateful :) I know there's a few people that have been trying to hype up a backpack give away at one point or another

    What did he send you, a backpack?

    Not sure if there's been a backpack GA yet. has there been?

    No, but we're hoping soon :smiley:

    GIVE ME THAT RACKNERD BACKPACK

    Racknerd backpacks are in huge demand

    That's totally understandable, considering they are high quality SwissGear's :)

    Would anyone be interested in checking their typing speeds after the competition ends. I am concerned that I might be going too fast now. :D

    @noob404 -- hahaha, glad to see you're having fun and pushing those typing skills to the max! Competition brings out the speed demon in all of us. 😈

    @Ramsterdam said:

    @dustinc said: Demand, demand!! We need it.

    Unfortunately, they always happen when I'm off to bed. Hopefully there will be a bunch of them when the time is right, meaning during the actual Black Friday.

    Hi @Ramsterdam -- With Black Friday comes naturally higher traffic levels and engagement, which typically correlates to increased demand. As such, I'd say you're in for a treat :) We've historically proven to keep the party going strong, and this year will be no different :)

    Hey Racknerd,

    I'll take the double bandwidth and ClientExec license, please! # 6042492202

    Thanks!

    Hi @mc27 -- Great stuff - your bandwidth's now twice as much! 👌

    Your Clientexec license has been successfully activated, please check your email for the license activation details. Thank you!

    That was fast, y'all are great.

    @noob404 said:
    But, are there any alternatives to CloudFlare. I don't mean a competitor. I mean something we can setup on our own to almost function like CF does. Something to protect our websites in general?

    Hi @noob404 -- It really depends what exactly you're trying to accomplish, as Cloudflare features quite a bit. Are you referring to WAF features, general security features, or content being served from the edge? Cloudflare provides a comprehensive package that includes CDN, DDoS protection, and various security features.

    If you're primarily focused on security, you can implement ModSecurity rules. For example, with our shared hosting platform, we use cpGuard which leverages Malware Expert ModSecurity rules - this has proven to be quite effective.

    For edge caching and CDN functionality, there are self-hosted solutions available, though they typically require more setup and maintenance on your end. Bunny.net is a good CDN alternative to consider as well.

    I wish Dustin adds mechanical KBs and handheld gaming consoles or even full-fledged gaming consoles to the prize pool next year.

    Not a bad idea, thank you for the feedback :) It'll definitely be considered.

    On a quick break. Here's a rare picture of the RackNerd Chef with his wireless hands:-

    Hahaha, I love it B)

    @Beniskickbutt said:
    So I did just that and asked ChatGPT to tell me who the chef is. Seems to have the same thought as me but maybe it just saw my comment just now and really clung to that idea. I have no influenced it's thoughts and now I control its mind.

    In the LowEndTalk thread you referenced, the "Chef" appears to be a playful term for someone or something that dramatically enhances the excitement of RackNerd's Black Friday event. Discussions suggest that the "Chef" might represent a figure or contributor (possibly FrankZ or Dustin) who "cooks up" surprise giveaways or extraordinary deals, akin to how a chef prepares special dishes. This nickname emphasizes the anticipation and enthusiasm surrounding these flash sales and giveaways, which are a hallmark of RackNerd's event on the forum

    @Beniskickbutt -- Hahaha! I love how AI tries to analyze everything. Though I must say, this Chef must be quite the mysterious figure that even AI is trying to figure out who it is :)

    Trust me, if and when the Chef arrives, you'll know it. The Chef has been known to cook up some pretty amazing things in the past!

    How many of you guys actually shut your PCs down, and not put it to sleep?

    Decades ago, I was religious about shutting down my PC properly every single time. Now? I honestly can't remember the last time I actually did a proper shutdown! These days it's either sleep mode or letting it run continuously, especially with today's hardware. By the way, this reminds me of the old "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen - those were the days! :)

    This is how I imagine the employees that work at rack nerd. Lifting all those servers gets you a good work out. I am sure they are well fed and taken care of getting balanced meals to maximize their help. When the community calls for help, the rack nerd associates are there and ready to help no matter what the problem may be. No job is to small for the rack nerd crew to handle it. Any time you need them, they will be there to help you and your community!

    Love this! And accurate too - we do make sure our team is well taken care of. A happy team = happy customers, and we're proud of the support experience we deliver.

    We have lots of heavy lifting to do (both physically and virtually), especially with all the hardware deployments, inventory management, and constant scaling to keep up with demand! But that's what makes it fun - we enjoy what we do, and we're always here to help 💪

    Thank You for the continued trust and support with RackNerd!

    how are you doing today dustin?

    Howdy! Things have been quite busy here at the office, preparing for the biggest event of the year. We've got our hands full in the best way possible :)

    By the end of this week, we should have a dozen additional nodes turned up in Dublin as well to keep up with the demand we're seeing in this new location.

    Black Friday is my favorite time of the year - nothing beats partying with the community! Hope you're doing well too :)

  • dustincdustinc Member, Patron Provider, Top Host

    @Beniskickbutt said:
    Also I nearly forgot the obligatory ...

    WHOS SLEEPING? NOT ME! LETS PARTY! 🥳

    Sounds like the party train is just getting rolling!! Here we go y'all party time on the party train. If you are not living it up in the rack nerd black friday thread now, are you truly living at all? Here we go!!! No going back now!

    @Beniskickbutt -- Let's gooo! Always a blast to party with you, my friend! The hype is real, and with good reason - this Black Friday thread is where the magic happens 🎉

    Really appreciate you bringing the energy and keeping the party going. You're absolutely right - if you're not in here living it up with us, you're missing out on all the fun!

    Keep that energy coming, as we've got plenty more surprises and giveaways planned. The party train is just getting started :D

    Amazing RN

    Hi @lovis -- Thank You for the love! It's clients like you that make us amazing. Appreciate you being part of our growth and hope you're enjoying the deals and giveaways ❤️

    @tuc said:
    @dustinc some flash sales please B)

    Hi @tuc -- While flash sales are something exclusively handled by the Chef only, we're always thinking of ways to contribute and provide value to the community. Right now it's a bit tough to commit to any flash sales, but what I can say is that we're working hard to do some convincing.

  • dustincdustinc Member, Patron Provider, Top Host

    @noob404 said:
    Who here active on this thread right now hasn't met the chef yet, ie., hasn't been a part of BF celebration at RN before this year?

    @noob404 -- That's a great question! Let's get a headcount and see who we need to introduce to the Chef!

    And speaking of the Chef... well, historically we've been pretty good at convincing, though we still have some work to do this year 😘 The Chef can be quite particular about making appearances, but I have a feeling if we show enough demand, we might just succeed in bringing out those special recipes!
