Anybody bought 3 unit of Minisforum Mini PC and setup them up as Proxmox Cluster then use CloudflareD to host whatever applications you want in the cluster?
Clueless, fing clueless. @emgh you know what I mean!

Totally wish I understood sarcasm, but as a child I was beaten with clubs. This was back in the 1920s, just for entertainment.
Can I host Plex on a redwood tree?
Ohw, Sexy!

There's a guy on youtube who has done that with MS-01 running ceph on each connected via thunderbolt. Well, minus the cloudflare bit.
I was thinking about trying to do something similar, but then I decided that I didn't really want 3 machines around basically idling when I probably won't even max out the CPU on one for a while. And there are always new models dropping every 6 months or so, so might as well wait until I have an actual need.
I've got the UM 890 PRO (arrived just before xmas) which I think is a better CPU (especially with 3 of them and idling) but only has 2 NVMe but otherwise is probably a good alternative to the MS-01 for this application (unless you need the 10H network ports). As an aside: the MS-A1 looks like a disaster in terms of design apart from the better CPU, everything else is better on the MS-01. I've also got one of the very new 795S7 on order which should be arriving on Monday which has 3 NVMe slots but all different speeds, but no thunderbolt and only 2x2.5G network. Has got a real 4060 card in though which should be quite cool, and if you get the bare bones you can probably do a lot with it as it's PCIE5x8.
There is a forum somewhere were people go into lots of technical stuff about how to get best performance out of the different units. e.g. with the MS-01, if you use some of the USB ports then one of the NVMe slots drops down to 2 lanes instead of 4.
Woah, yeah, awesome giveaway by the mystery donor! Can't believe how popular these were on that other thread, was cool to witness it.
I even tried using the most popular and epic movie 3 Idiots to liven up the atmosphere, but in the end, I still left with "The promotion code entered has already been used."🫠
We are crazy when it comes to spamming a giveaway / promo post.
New giveaway let's goooooooo!
Closest I can think of is this but it seems not the right promo code (unless I entered in the wrong page):
'42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-'.split('14').reverse().join('14').split('-').reverse().join('-').split('').reverse().join('')'FAT-DEALS-2441-ADFQP'
Hello
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too
Anybody solved the silvercreek one?
In total spent a few hours so far since it was released and have to say either insufficient information or a shit ton of guesswork required, not any conventional or ordinary cipher I can think of.
I have also read through all the hints so far but none of them are actually that useful (I get to that close already before most hints but it just doesn't snap)
stop wasting time
'42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-'.split('14').reverse().join('__').split('-').reverse().join('-').....join('__')....@SilverCreek must be given a warning for wasting precious time
AND as a punishment, there should be 100 of $7 deals for the community,
I spend few hours yesterday as well.
Although silvercreek mentioned only using reverse, join etc.. I've even tried to convert the remaing random chars to numbers, ascii etc and to get some meaningful word for humans.. so far none of them seems like a full human readable word.
Stopped now. Although I like to solve puzzles, don't have the time now anyway.
This is harder than chess.
