    @noob404 oh by the way did you win any racknerd credits?

    Over the years, a lot bro cause I, not being from the US opt for credits when shipping or bringing the physical item isn't an option

    To bad innit? Might try to convince him. First one shipped to the EU, that would be cool B)

    Yah, but, I believe it'd be so unfair for him cause depending on the location of various winners, he will have to spend a small fortune on shipping which seems too much to ask for, given the items themselves are already expensive (by my standards)

    Guess you're right. Not sure about costs but yeah, not making sense shipping a mug for a whole lot of money.

    A cup might actually cut it with Indian customs. It's usually the bigger items that sometimes get slapped with 100% of their price as customs duty by Indian customs.

    Guess it depends on what they want but hope they have fairly new infrastructure/equipment and not a bunch of legacy stuff.

    Oh yes. This though is a client who doesn't currently have an online presence at all.

    Good, always will be an improvement then.

    Yup, hope som.i am hoping I get their contract.

    No worries. We'll keep the thread going. Will give you a warm welcome back when you do.

    can't you start your journey with those credits?
    at least for getting started

    Start? Oh you mean the reseller hosting. With the credits available right now, yes. I could start and host it for atleast 5-6 years maybe (unless I get more orders from clients and friends).
    But, right now, I got too much on my plate and that's why the hosting business is getting delayed a bit.

    Makes sense, btw how much credit you have to be enough for hosting for 5-6 years? XD

    I am just gonna say I had more than $1000 in RackNerd credits at some point because I converted almost 3 of my wins (1x RackNerd BF thread + 2x Xmas threads) over the years.
    Fortunately, I have friends in need of VPSes and dedis. So, most of that credit has been used or is spoken for.

    What?!dude.

    Yes, mam! Too much free time did pay off, for me thanks to RackNerd.

    Lol, but good for you man. And enjoying yourself along the way. Good fun.

    Damn my mind directly went to unpredictable Indian customs duty when it came to shipping. Pardon me. Now I realise that you were just talking about shipping. Yes, shipping a cup might actually cost more than the cup to some countries.

    sometimes i wonder why i just won't stick to existing and proven providers like RackNerd..

    bought me a VPS in germany by this italian provider i've never seen before. so far haven't gone into any of my purchases cause saving it for tomorrow maybe when BFCM is over, maybe for today .. anyways connecting to their panel - cannot do it, connecting to VPS - cannot do it... ended up reaching out to the provider via LET message. he says - send screen.. turns out my CGNAT was probably causing it somehow or something on their end, anyways i could connect from my DE server though and via VPN to their dashboard. then he replaced IP for my VPS - i was then able to login from home IP, later he reached out saying something changed and i was then able to login to panel without VPN.

    but for a few heavy minutes i was thinking - did i get scammed? LOL.. he also was asking for social security number or drivers license number for their billing records, which i gave license, nobody ever asks for it anywhere, so can't really impersonate me with that, social security though is very important and that i didn't give...

    well, that's what happened...

    Deluxhost?

    no, although they are quite a handful too.. something called loclix

    IT'S CYBER MONDAY ON THE RACKNERD THREAD !!

    Happy morning.

    Hey ralf, haven't seen you around a lot this time. Aren't you an owner of RackNerd backpack as well?

    No, sadly I didn't get a backpack, but the hoodie was great.

    Oh yah. I just remembered you were looking forward to the sweater. BTW, maybe try your luck with the rn December giveaway.

    Nah, the swag is all US only. I thought that was a bit mean at first last year, but when I saw how much the shipping cost after he made a one-off exception for me on the sweater hoodie, I completely understand the decision now.

    Yah shipping cost is often the deciding factor. And, sometimes the shipper also has to deal with additional charges if the recipient decides to reject the package due to high customs charges. So, there are many variables involved.
    But, during the chef spree this time, there was a backpack giveaway with international shipping.

    How man... Playing next time!

    Please do. I tried to tag you in as well when the chef was here. But, I believe it was an unfavorable time for you.

    Lol, that's nice of you. Big time difference so you're probably right.

    Yah, I am sorry it wasn't a favourable time for you guys. This is something I'd like to request for next year as well. 2 chef visits at two time periods suitable for all

    Best new netflix series to watch... Not including stranger things :)

    Netflix. Well, there are many. Recently they got into producing Indian oriented content and if you are into going international, you could check out the latest Indian movies on Netflix. Some of them are good

    Never really like the Indian stuff. Probably a cultural thing. A friend of mine is crazy mad about it though.

    I am in. Would love that title if possible. But, I don't think that can be done. LET might not wanna be seen promoting only the title for a certain provider, I think.
    As long as we all are virtually conscious of our membership to the RackNerd Hype Squad, I frankly believe a title beside our username won't matter

    that's awesome

    It definitely is. I hope you win a few credits as well, dude. Right now, I can see you are in the 19th position. But, if you can be a bit more active, I am sure you can land up in top 6 and get the prize converted to credits if it isn't already credits.
    Also, keep your eyes peeled cause post this, there should also be the Xmas threads (hope there's is, that's RackNerd tradition). You can be active there as well and win some credits. Moreover, I hope you have already participated in the RackNerd Thanksgiving and Xmas Gleam giveaways.

    Think any more deals will drop. I'm still waiting for a 5/y

    Can't say for sure, Sara. Dustin did say though that Chef's appearance cannot be predicted, but he does love it to his core when there's a lot of hype on the thread

    Fingers crossed :)

    Iirc, the last year's Xmas threads started within hours of the winners of the social butterfly contest on BF being announced.

    I think I missed it. Was preoccupied with the Megathread which lasted for a month or so... Tiring time.

    Oh yah. Yes. I don't remember seeing you a lot on the Xmas thread as well. Maybe this year?

    Yup, if we got some good activity, that goal is reachable within an hour or so

    Wait till Dustin chimes in :)

    Yup, we could definitely request a giveaway when Dustin's here. The man's probably tired from all those bw requests

    WHAT'S UP FOR CYBER MONDAY, RACKNERD HYPE SQUAD?

    Deals?

    No ideas. The chef is a man of mystery but he hasn't been known to appear on two days though. But, we could definitely hype for giveaways, no idea about flash sales though

    Yeah... Gonna miss it either way. Probably..unless real lucky. Misse it last time by minutes.

    That's unfortunate. Maybe next year, I could DM you when the chef is here. Or, usually @sh97 does get insider info on the chef's arrival usually a day prior. Maybe you could set your alarms of you have the time that day.

    That sneaky Mjj :) @sh97 hook me up next time !
