    Enough that I stopped making my spreadsheet because the total price was quickly getting higher than I thought it was going to be.

    It's mainly some big ticket items that are monthly and I can drop if I need to but it's looking like $3-4XXX/yr at the moment 🥲

    That sounds like significant enough percentage of household income no? :joy:

    It's enough for me to question if I need allll of it, but not enough to not put food on the table.

    Opportunity cost, it's only that high if I actually commit to the full year. If I use it for a few months and decide they're not going to get that much use then it'll be significantly less.

    The big ticket items being the NetDynamic storage server and a OVH SYS system.... kinda scratching my head why I've decided i needed 80+ tb of space to play with now 😂

    @admax said: I added up the cost of this BF and realized I’ve spent a bit more than I expected.

    I didn't need anything else except storage box. Ended up buying @kuroit €7/y and @host_c $5/y ipv6-only boxes. Now both will be sitting idle for whole yr.

    This year, I kept missing @host_c's storage boxes one after another, it’s hard to believe. I was at @host_c’s basic promo events live, and in the end, I ended up buying the $5/year box just like you. I also got @kuroit’s box for 7 pounds a year, bought a few $7 VPS deals, and even won @SilverCreek's $12/year big box, among others.

    I initially didn't plan to buy anything this year. Now i ended up with a lot of shit i don't know what to use for. :D

    Oh I'm not complaining, my wallet sure is though.

    If I pick up some weekend OT shifts it's all covered though so not too concerned.

    That's combined, across two systems, in two different regions. Not all in one.

  • @admax said: I was originally confident about getting the $7/year 1TB box, but I just couldn’t grab it. Later, I thought the IPv6 1TB boxes were also good, but in the end, still couldn’t get one.

    On the same boat. If i ended up getting one $7 1TB box I'll split up 500gb with you. :smiley:

    80TB is pretty big, so I’m thinking of it as a huge box. :D

    And thanks again @FAT32 !

    But maybe there is still some space left >:)

    No, no, no, no !

    Recently, I heard that your company's VPS stability is very good. Unfortunately, we couldn't catch up with the previous flash purchases. Can you consider another wave of flash purchases in Singapore for 7 pounds per year?

    Thanked by 1r3k
  • This year, interestingly, I didn't spend anything. Wasn't fast enough to catch any $7/y storage VPS in EU from @host_c and I'm waiting to purchase mxroute plan, but the transfer from the seller to me seems to be stuck for two days now and probably won't be done over a weekend, if it gets at all.
