    I wonder if the $3/year vps's are even sustainable... at that point, is there even a point in charging money? They would still lose quite a bit of money wouldnt they

    But DigiRDP has sold THIRTY $4/year VPSs with 100GB HDDs and Ryzen CPU, plus a ton of other flash sales with usually 10 stock+ each, I think. That’s a LOT of flash sales.

    But if they got the capacity and the budget to do it, I guess that's pretty good marketing.

    Very cheap. Thing is. They suck ass. They take advantage of desperates pushing their brand whatever the cost and whatever it takes.

    Fucking disgrace to this forum. The fucking purple thread goes against everything LET stands for.

    Hi providers, you might have seen a notification saying you have been tagged, yes this is the comment that you are tagged but to prevent from spam the tag has been removed.

    Anyway, we would like some deals to end our 2024 and welcome to the new year 2025, throw us something, anything, any deals, thank you! :)

    Did anyone Decipher your Code?

    No, which is a shame. They simply forgot that 14 is the key, needs to exist for it to make sense. You have to split('14').reverse().join('41') and it all makes sense. I'm giving away the answer now because nobody got it :disappointed:

    Am I close?

    FAT-DEALS-14ADF-QP42
    FAT-DEALS-ADF14-QP42
    FAT-DEALS-14ADFQP-42

    The code has expired since (we'll post another challenge on new years day), but here was the solution:

    '42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-'.split('14').reverse().join('41').split('-').reverse().join('-').split('').reverse().join('')

    Well I am very sure I tried this code before...

    Pretty much the same. I tried it a couple of times too and it didn't work. Definitely was expired meantime, like Silvercreek said.

    I have a different understanding of what ‘human readable’ meant there I think. The final part of the code is still gibberish, unless it’s an acronym I’m not getting?

    I actually received quite a bit of such requests but in order to remain more neutral + I don't have time to actually review them properly I have to respectfully decline.

    Snatching flash deal with a few dollars per year make me not obligated to write reviews and less pressure for me :joy:
