    probabaly me

  • @noob404 said: 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

    this, im just "member"
    and i'm fine u guess? (not really, but some people here put way more effort than me)

  • Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth.
    Order Number: 8494684822
    Thanks!

    Anything we could talk about?

    You can pick any topic and I am pretty sure we all have opinions about it. Go!

    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 GREW UP On Indian movies.. the biggest i remember was THE DISCO DANCER.. OMG.. Soviet Union had a very established cultural exchange with India back then..

    Oh that's cool. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

    I'm still settling in for the morning. Doggo is still getting used to winter but I think she's starting to understand/remember she has to do her business right away instead of sniff and explore. Currently 11F (think that's like -11C/-12C) out there

    Rough.... I mean, fortunately we don't get those kind of temperatures here too often.

    Hi Dustinc! Any midnight giveaways perhaps?

    Been a while innit? Time for a CM deal!

    How about a CM special giveaway maybe?

    I'm in... At page 600 :)

    Yup, we could build noise for that. And, if we could somehow combine page 600 with 2M views, it would just be sweeter

    Off the charts!

    Yup, exactly. Let's try our best though truthfully, I am not at my 100. Caught a cold a few days ago and been feeling tired.

    Same, eating a lot or oranges and some extra vitamins to beat the cold :)

    Just 45 minutes remaining today

    Awesome. Reminds me of the time when I worked at an office. I used to countdown punch out time and eagerly waiting for it as well.

    I set my own hours but that's sometimes even worse!

    How though? I mean do you set very tough hours or challenge yourselves to your limits a lot?

    Well, I work whenever is most convenient or works best to combine work and private life. It's like, I don't really like getting up early, more of a night owl, but I do like the peace and quiet in the early more.

    Also, no distractions, I'm very productive. So I force myself. It gets easier having a young child I must admit :) But you know, can't always make mu own schedule, there's always clients, appointments and what not but overall, I cannot complain.

    Hi @dustinc!
    Good to see you online this morning

    Hi @BasToTheMax!

    What's up?

    The time until the giveaway is almost up :)

    I have 10 entries lol

    Get those codes in right quick!

    Did it happen already? Not playing myself but curious.

    BTW, hope you have started getting your entries in the latest December giveaway as well, Sara.

    I might... I might. But gotta use the socials right? I don't use SM much.

    Me as well. But, if you just get the daily entries and the bonus codes that usually drop you could have 30+ entries.

    Sounds doable I guess. I'll look into it.

    Yah, if you are on this thread a few times a day, you will also get @PuDLeZ 's daily reminder as well. I do that as well from time to time

    Smart!

    Do you guys think we could reach page 600 today? Too big of a target, I know. But, if we got numbers, we can easily reach there

    Easy...

    Shall we then? Almost 40 pages = 1200 comments needed

    Wait... That actually sounds like a lot :D

    i think @dustinc put in like 40-50 pages last night..

    Sic... That's a .... Lot.... Of ... Posts.

    IT'S CYBER MONDAY ON THE RACKNERD THREAD !!

    Happy morning.

    Hi <3

    Morning pink dino <3

    Now I don't remember what Sara's old pfp was

    Must have been a grim reaper at the time

    Ah yes, the skeleton style personas you used to have on almost all your threads. Why the change in style though?

    Well, it has never been the same since @deank left. Also, wanted to change it up.... Basically, got bored lol

    Oh I guess I missed a lot of stuff. When you say they left, you mean they became largely inactive on LET, right?

    Yeah inactive. Sometimes people leave. I mean, I've been on let on and off as well. Wasn't that active for a while. Picked it up again about a year ago I think.

    missed most of it, sorry couldnt be there, maybe next year

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

    Wonder if we could get the RackNerd Hype Squad title like the megathread squad. Jk!

    Lol, Dustin could bribe em maybe :)

    Lol. BTW, who has the authority to do that on LET?

    Just one of the mods.

    Oh I guess then it is isn't something that we commoners can make happen by just hyping it up then.

    Nah not really. I've been trying to get the veteran tag but didn't succeed.... Yet :)

    Anyone up for hyping it up? It's Cyber Monday

    i;m but gonna watch tv.. tired of all the nonsense in megathread..

    Lol, gonna check that later.... Getting mentally ready.

    i already complained, i got charged twice by velox with zero VPS delivered.. ridiculous..

    Oh I see that sucks. I'm sure they're on it. I was lucky to catch a good deal. If it's not working out let me know. They're good People.

    i don't say they bad. and i have a VPS with them since summer time. here they said if not auto refunded - file a ticket. so i am waiting now till it settles in my credit card statement, still pending, then will do ticket.

    How about the VPS you had since summer? I got my first with them so can't really say, all I know is the rep is a good guy so I have good expectations.

    Yeah, I just wish she kept her boots on so it wouldn't be as bad. She will allow a coat and even the boots for a bit but then she refuses to move until they're off. Even if that means she's in the middle of a snow/ice. I kind of gave up on putting on the boots unless it's truly dangergous temps outside.

    @noob404 said: I feel like requesting Dustin so that we have the chef for 2 days next year. If we can make some noise right now, maybe Dustin could plan something like that for next year, in advance.

    But, imo, the deals on RackNerd BF page are still good as well. Or, were you looking for a specific location or something?

    upgrades, beeing there for the party
    won 1 server and i gave me friend (dont need more, else would just buy one)

    also mainly megathread... there are few providers i want to try and few services that rn does not offer (hdd, spicy locations or simly 1€/y deals)

    rn is great, just i dont keep all my eggs in 1 basket (this includes any other provider and my home servers)

    during christmas might finally make a blog/page that will include provider rewievs...

    That would be cool. What I like about RN is that's it's pretty stable and support is fast. Got services with maybe 30 providers or so though.

    Sorry to cut in, I can concur that as well. My fastest response time on their ticket was less than 3 minutes with 100% resolution. The same would have taken several huge names a day or more.

    Yeah, wonder how big their team is.

    No idea. But, yes, both their live chat and ticketing system are fast to respond.

    Never used chat but tickets are fast. So are DMs to Dustin. I do some support a couple of hours a week myself not to loose the magic touch and I'm well impressed.

    Yah, their whole team across are pretty responsive. That's what amazed me the most. Hosts I used the big ones, rhye charge you much more than RN yet take a day at minimum to reply and then takes a few more days to actually resolve an issue

    Yeah, with scale come a lot of... Crap... There's a fine balance. Companies growing big yet being able to offer quality are becoming scarce these days.

    Ai support isn't helping much either.

    Still waiting for paypal to review my info

    hehe.. paypal reviewed my info back in 2009. haven't had a proper working paypal in my name since

    They once closed my business account. Was a mess to get it reinstated again.

    i was getting donations from a site they didn't approve.. then i made an account in my mother-in-law name and hooked it up to ejunkie and was getting donations via ejunkie, so that account actually still working for me to pay for stuff i cannot pay with a simple credit card, otherwise i just use that option where you don't need to login to pay for something.

    Ah yes, we once had some funds coming in from a couple of businesses they had flagged. It was a mess for accounting.

    Got it solved eventually. I really like Pp but when I can I try to avoid it.

    I've heard of many people/businesses having many issues with PayPal. Luckily, I haven't had any (yet). I actually only have it for the random orders/payments I do as I much rather use PayPal instead of my actual card details.

    Since credit cards aren't really used in the Netherlands, PayPal is like my only option to buy stuff online

    You could try revolut. I'm quite fond of it
    I have multiple creditcards but use them a lot as its quick and easy, can also send money directly to other users. No fees. Funding/withdrawal to you own bank account.

    i'm using LINK now (link.com), i think you can hook up your bank account there now too. check it out.. it's accepted by MANY hosting providers and in general. I think it is done by STRIPE - the leader in online payments.

    Never heard of that one. Will check it out

    BTW, anyone have experience with making website for medical field clients? Have got a project from an indirect friend. Could turn out to be huge. Any general pointers while dealing with these guys?

    oof.. even google used to refuse to help with medical advice.. i am not touching that with a 10 meter pole..

    Used to have some clients in that field. Was under constant DDOS.

    sheesh.. i bet there's no good medical cure for that.. =) unless you get some heavy anti-depressant prescription.. ooo i once had those xanax 2mg sticks.. i would pop one in the evening (worked nights back then) and would then come to senses 24hrs later.. with zero recollection what happened, would just get flashes during work hours that i did something here last night.. that shit is SERIOUS

    Yeah it was like, long time past. We were hosting the site of an abortion clinic. Totally legal but not widely accepted at the time.

    Still a sensitive subject. Neither for or against it. Mixed feelings but that's a whole other discussion :)

    Never tried any heavy stuff. Only shrooms for me :)

    @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.

    Might be right. Haven't sent much cross continent past few years. Not sure.

    Let me tell you, with Indian customs, I believe it has only gotten worse. Maybe also because the number of shipments imported has also increased by a lot

    Could be. It's messy also because of a lot of trade wars going on. Always hurting the common people.

    We have better and more secure payment systems. Less risk theft, unauthorized charges.

    Downside, can't use it worldwide.

    Although it's rolling out rapidly across Europe and even some us companies accept it now.

    it's smart, without credit cards people will have less debt.

    That's a big plus also :)

    We're not accustomed buying things on credit. Sure, some people take out loans but little people dealing with CC debts.

    Mainly debit cards with the VPay/Maestro protocol are used. The grocery store I work at doesn't even accept credit cards. Like the payment machines don't even support it

    Wow that's odd and a fun fact I didn't know about. But, is there any reason why credit cards aren't used? Like are they looked down upon or anything due to their debts potential or something?

    Not sure how it's now but they were harder to get back in the day. Like they did a credit check.

    I remember just sending and receiving cashier checks when buying in the us lol.
