    Requesting 2x bandwidth @ Order # 3826106965
    Ty and enjoy Antarctica!!

    @dustinc can you check that this has been doubled? I waded through a dozen pages before realizing your reply ought to have made my notifications on here. Not seeing and would like to confirm. In any case, THANK YOU!

    @dustinc loves nothing better than doubling some bandwidths. Fret not and just be patient.

    True. In the past 3 years I have seen him miss the bandwidth requests only once or twice maybe at most.
    After all, the man's human too. But, again, worry not, Dustin's on it.

    Yangyang must have thousands of VPSs by now!

    That number might not be very far off since ha already has 626 comments on doubling requests. Assuming he has a few multiples within a single comment, 1000 is a good guess, I mean 1000 only bought this year from RN!

    YANGYANG IS THE KING OF VPSES!

    I can categorically state Yangyang does not have any posts requesting more than server to be doubled per post. My re-education campaign had no effect.

    Lol! BTW, on an unrelated note, went to the barber today who educated me on the huge gaps on my scalp. Seems like I will be joining you sooner than later.

    In that case, welcome to the smooth scalp club!

  • I have got to stop posting with my phone. My right pinky is already crooked. I don't wanna mess it up anymore. Anyone else has this issue?
    This wasn't an issue pre-smartphones

    that he do..

    Dude, shouldn't he be called VPS-rich, not me?

    He's almost certainly acting as a purchaser proxy for some Chinese forum. It's hard to get past KYC and also even to pay in a currency other than RMB, so he's probably just reselling / transferring those accounts as soon as they're created.

    What's interesting is that he's done so many now that even assuming $11 for the most basic RN server, it's well into the territory where currency export limits apply for an individual.

    Or, could it just be that he is posting his affiliates' order number? From what I have heard you cannot transfer a RackNerd offer special VPS

    Yeah, that's entirely possible. In which case the goal might just be to win the engagement prize money as I theorized before.

    But OTOH, I'd not put it past people to just transfer the whole account anyway. There are quite a lot of email services where you can trivially transfer that to someone else, so I'd guess each VPS is registered in its own account tied to one of them.

    And realistically, our great purple daddy won't care as long as the money comes on and there's not a ton of abuse.

    Dude, shouldn't he be called VPS-rich, not me?

    i mean, we know he isn't shopping for himself but is rather a gateway for mjjs that cannot pay overseas...

    Hadn't thought of that possibility. Or, he might just be reselling. Even if not that, he could just be doing affiliate. RackNerd affiliate is great btw, you get a good percentage of every sales, and the best part is those are recurring. So, every year when your affiliate renews their VPS, you get a cut.

    i think, he wouldn't be asking for double bandwidth if he was just doing affiliate, cause then he wouldn't know all those invoice numbers.. unless he such a good guy, same as @dustinc - he says, buy thru my aff link, and i will get you double bandwidth if you drop your invoice number in my mail.. =)

    Yah, infact, Dustin himself recommended me to do that an year or so ago. You post your affiliate link, someone buys with it and post their order number on a forum, TG group or something else. The person, eg.- yangyang then posts these order numbers on this thread. Win-win-win.

    He might also be doing it to win a big prize, converting that into RN credit, and then when he resells in the future, that gets converted into actual cash for him.

    Oh kinda like I have been doing with my credits. But, I guess he is looking forward to winning the lottery not the social butterfly cause to get into top 6 on social butterfly, he should be aware that just posting order numbers might not cut it.

    Don't you say things like that. All of my spam was very engaging. It all counts.

    Oh I see. Yes, they could transfer the whole account. But, if yangyang is unavailable when renewal comes up, the new owner will be in a pickle cause they can't pay. Or wait, maybe he'd sell the account with any RackNerd credits he wins as well. Maybe that'll cover a few VPSes.

    While we theories here, I am pretty sure we are nowhere close to guessing what the actual reality of tha matter is :lol:

    Ryzen 9 7900 (with iGPU)!

    What's your review of it for gaming?

    I really like it. Way faster than my laptop hahaha!
    But a dedicated GPU would probably be better for most games.
    But since I only play minecraft (and stream that), my iGPU is pretty good. I can get like 100+ fps without shaders. But I usually limit it to 30-60 fps as I don't need more

  • I have already purchased and used three Racknerd annual payment products, one for high, medium, and low configurations. Recently, there is also an official Black Friday promotion, hoping to receive double the bandwidth and data as a fan incentive~Order No. 3080040833 (ID: 429786) – Server Name: [racknerd-4b409d8] Order No. 5088378034 (ID: 424015) – Server Name: [racknerd-26b004a]

    Lol! I am just saying that he is probably well aware by now that just posting order numbers without engaging in the thread, he can't possibly win anything on the social butterfly prize epool. So he might be looking for luck in the lottery on Dec 12.

    BTW, what are you aiming for in the prize pool? Need to know if someone's coming for me :lol:

    My friend has an offer on a 7900X with 5070Ti. I am caught in a dilemma here cause the seller doesn't know about the price inflation and is ready to sell way below the current market. My friend needed to know if a 7900X is good. Now, I am unsure if I should tell him or not cause the poor seller would suffer

    Debating whether I should start work or hype it a bit more for a giveaway. What's the general consensus?

    I say work since it's seems like there's no one really active right now (myself included)

    Yah, will drop in from time to time. Gonna go get that haircut I have been wanting for the past 2 months finally as well.

    i just machine all of my hair OFF every few months with a beard trimmer.. bald is new hairy.. =)

    Used to do that for a really long time since COVID, cause I was scared to go to the barber. Had actually mastered the art of trimming my hair, could do it in my sleep (metaophorically :lol:).
    But, been quite a long time since I did something interesting with my hair. Yesterday's conversation with ralf reminded me, maybe I should do something while I still have most of my hair intact :lol:

    yeah, enjoy it while you still have it! :lol:

    my wife is losing her hair badly.. every time she blow-dries it, i make it my business to suck it all up with a handheld vacuum cleaner. mostly so that cats don't drag it to kitchen and eat it by accident, or hanging chads start happening, you know,
    hair is long, and they'd be dragging piece of poop attached on one end of hair while the other is still in their rectum.. not a great thing to experience, not for them, neither for me, who has to clean.. and they get spooked by that and run far..

    anyway, she keeps telling me how my hair is receding. i know it is not, it has been slightly receded since i was 16 and got my first haircut with a barber, who told me i was not losing hair and not doing it now. but wife feels like by vacuuming her hair I try to show her that it's falling out of her head.. which is true. so she tries to attack me instead..

    I think you have a deeper issue there if she feels like you're attacking her by hoovering up the hair. Let her know that you're just tidying the house and the hair isn't the issue. Although it clearly is, so maybe just deal with that in yourself first.

    Also, dropping hair is a somewhat healthy process anyway. At uni we used to joke that one of our housemates had 6 foot pubes, because there was always long hair clogging up the plug hole in the bathroom. Obviously, she didn't like that.

    Statistically, your barber is probably lying to some degree. I don't know how old you are, and it's true that some people keep a full head of hair until their 90s, but most don't and if your hair has already receeded, it's unlikely to have stopped. It's just a natural part of life, just embrace it.

    But again, work on the emotional side with your wife - it's not the hair falling out that's an issue, it's the emotional fear of losing her hair, and you reinforcing that worry, that's the concern. The correct answer isn't "I'd love you anyway with no hair" because she'll just interpret that as "shit, I really am losing the hair!"

    I completely agree with your words but for me personally, my hair, I consider it a part of my identity, something that made me uniquely me.
    When I was little, I wanted to grow my hair long but my parents won't let me. As I grew older I wanted to do it, but one or the other reason, I couldn't do it.
    Now, when I really wanna do it, stress, sickness and everything just plague me such that I have lost a lot of hair in just the recent months.
    In the beginning, I felt depressed with this situation. Completely shaving my head though did help in the beginning, but, in the back of my head, I do miss having my old hair, the volume and sometimes even thinking of it, has me demotivated with life.

    Hehe, when I was 17, there were a load of us guys in the school who disobeyed the short hair rule. Because we'd basically finished the last year of school by half way, it was just exam prep after that. I kept the long hair until the end of first year at uni. It felt cool and rebellious at the time, but when I look back at photos of me and my friends from that period, I just think "what a plonker I was".

    Also, now if I see the pictures from just after I cut it back to a normal length, I think it looks pretty cool, but it was probably only 5-10 years afterwards, so late 20s, when I thought I still had good hair that I look back at those photos and think "man, my hair really had receeded a lot by then". So then, I had the realisation that I was walking around looking obviously balding for a long time whilst being in denial of it. I could see some of my friends receeding, but looking in the mirror, mine all looked fine to me, because you don't really notice any change over time in the day-to-day. It's only afterwards in photos years apart that it's obvious.

    Do you have some sort of consumer regulatory agency in your country for banks? Maybe you could file a complaint with them.

    i do not discard the possibility. he could even be living in USA, UK, Canada or any other non-Chinese territory.. others are doing it too after seeing his success.. MJJs are very resourceful..

    Yah, makes sense. MJJs are definitely keeping many hosts afloat. I am just thinking of this possibility, which obviously sounds foolish. Correct me if I am wrong. Is it possible to chain multiple VPSes, like all their resources including the CPU, RAM and storage in such a way to enable them to train AI or something and also make sure that no single VPS is using 100% of all resources at a time?
    Since AI is big in China and elswhere as well, but, mainly in China, coudl that be a thing? I have no idea if what I mentioned just now is evena possibility though.

    i don't think so, vCPUs are weak AF.. dedis would be much cheaper.

    I think the vast majority of Chinese buying RN deals are just hoping to use it as a VPN, and LA has pretty decent routes to China. Having an IP each is a bigger advantage than having a decent CPU because the firewall only blocks a single IP based on traffic it thinks is bad.

    This prolly is it. BTW, I posted about a possibility to bchot..being a noob inam not sure if that's possible, but could they somehow be coupling all the resources on these VPSes to train ai models or something?
    I am not even sure if coupling the resources - RAM, CPU, storage and other stuff on remote VPSes is a possibility though. I am curious.

    It's not worth it. The hardware RN uses is basically junk. 10-15 year old E5s, probably got cheap as the rejects from ColoCrossing.

    When I say junk, that's a bit unfair. They'll be 40-80 core things, and so they're decently able to support 200 VPS doing lightweight web serving, but for actual compute they're miles behind modern CPUs. A decent current AMD desktop-class CPU would be far better for compute than one of these. And all of the AI training is done on GPU-class hardware, because they have in the order of 10x-100x more raw compute than CPUs, just because they have so much parallelism.

    It'll just be people using them for VPNs or running a relatively low-traffic website.

    Yes, the visit to the barber meant I am past the denial.ohase now. Seems my scalp had been calling for quite some time now while I was busy growing my hair which prolly led to more hairfall. I was an idiot.
    I have been telling myself I'd never start using those artificial agents to get my hair back,but, I love my hair a lot.
    I dunno I am conflicted right now.

    Yah, infact, Dustin himself recommended me to do that an year or so ago. You post your affiliate link, someone buys with it and post their order number on a forum, TG group or something else. The person, eg.- yangyang then posts these order numbers on this thread. Win-win-win.

    i do not discard the possibility. he could even be living in USA, UK, Canada or any other non-Chinese territory.. others are doing it too after seeing his success.. MJJs are very resourceful..

    Yah, makes sense. MJJs are definitely keeping many hosts afloat. I am just thinking of this possibility, which obviously sounds foolish. Correct me if I am wrong. Is it possible to chain multiple VPSes, like all their resources including the CPU, RAM and storage in such a way to enable them to train AI or something and also make sure that no single VPS is using 100% of all resources at a time?
    Since AI is big in China and elswhere as well, but, mainly in China, coudl that be a thing? I have no idea if what I mentioned just now is evena possibility though.

    i don't think so, vCPUs are weak AF.. dedis would be much cheaper.

    I think the vast majority of Chinese buying RN deals are just hoping to use it as a VPN, and LA has pretty decent routes to China. Having an IP each is a bigger advantage than having a decent CPU because the firewall only blocks a single IP based on traffic it thinks is bad.

    This prolly is it. BTW, I posted about a possibility to bchot..being a noob inam not sure if that's possible, but could they somehow be coupling all the resources on these VPSes to train ai models or something?
    I am not even sure if coupling the resources - RAM, CPU, storage and other stuff on remote VPSes is a possibility though. I am curious.

    It's not worth it. The hardware RN uses is basically junk. 10-15 year old E5s, probably got cheap as the rejects from ColoCrossing.

    When I say junk, that's a bit unfair. They'll be 40-80 core things, and so they're decently able to support 200 VPS doing lightweight web serving, but for actual compute they're miles behind modern CPUs. A decent current AMD desktop-class CPU would be far better for compute than one of these. And all of the AI training is done on GPU-class hardware, because they have in the order of 10x-100x more raw compute than CPUs, just because they have so much parallelism.

    It'll just be people using them for VPNs or running a relatively low-traffic website.

    Oh yah, I had completely forgotten about the GPU requirement for most AI training. But, anyways, what I said is technically possible though? Like you could chain multiple VPSes say better Ryzen VPSes to achieve something of the sorts I mentioned? If yes how's that be done. Just give me some keywords to search for the process..don't wanna trouble you.

    Yangyang must have thousands of VPSs by now!

    That number might not be very far off since ha already has 626 comments on doubling requests. Assuming he has a few multiples within a single comment, 1000 is a good guess, I mean 1000 only bought this year from RN!

    YANGYANG IS THE KING OF VPSES!

    I can categorically state Yangyang does not have any posts requesting more than server to be doubled per post. My re-education campaign had no effect.

    Lol! BTW, on an unrelated note, went to the barber today who educated me on the huge gaps on my scalp. Seems like I will be joining you sooner than later.

    In that case, welcome to the smooth scalp club!

    Thank you, buddy. If you can kindly share some products for a perfect beard. I am gonna refocus all my energy and testosterone from my scalp to my beard now

    Honestly, I do very little with my beard.

    When I first started my smooth scalp adventures, I felt like my beard was super important, so I got some fancy cream that allows you to style it a bit and stay glossy looking. That's kind of useful if the beard is above about 1.5-2cm long.

    If you keep the beard shorter, I think 0.8-1.2cm is about optimal, then you don't actually need anything to keep the beard looking neat.

    Although you don't want to be disturbing it too much as that weakens the hair folicles. I wash mine in the shower a couple of times a week rather than every time I shower.

    The other big mistake beginners make is shaving too much from their neck. Most beards look best if they extend down under the chin and stop about a finger width above the adam's apple. So covering a lot more neck than you'd think you should at first.

    Well that's true. Hadn't thought about it like that. You are right. If the regulatory agency in NL really gets behind their citizens, they'd prolly see that his PayPal account was terminated for no good reason and might ask PP to reinstate it.
    Long shot, but, worth a try

    that he do..

    Dude, shouldn't he be called VPS-rich, not me?

    He's almost certainly acting as a purchaser proxy for some Chinese forum. It's hard to get past KYC and also even to pay in a currency other than RMB, so he's probably just reselling / transferring those accounts as soon as they're created.

    What's interesting is that he's done so many now that even assuming $11 for the most basic RN server, it's well into the territory where currency export limits apply for an individual.

    Or, could it just be that he is posting his affiliates' order number? From what I have heard you cannot transfer a RackNerd offer special VPS

    oh really?

    i mean, we know he isn't shopping for himself but is rather a gateway for mjjs that cannot pay overseas...

    Hadn't thought of that possibility. Or, he might just be reselling. Even if not that, he could just be doing affiliate.

    He might also be doing it to win a big prize, converting that into RN credit, and then when he resells in the future, that gets converted into actual cash for him.

    Oh kinda like I have been doing with my credits. But, I guess he is looking forward to winning the lottery not the social butterfly cause to get into top 6 on social butterfly, he should be aware that just posting order numbers might not cut it.

    Don't you say things like that. All of my spam was very engaging. It all counts.

    Lol! I am just saying that he is probably well aware by now that just posting order numbers without engaging in the thread, he can't possibly win anything on the social butterfly prize epool. So he might be looking for luck in the lottery on Dec 12.

    BTW, what are you aiming for in the prize pool? Need to know if someone's coming for me :lol:

    I have no idea, I've not even read the list. I just figured if I make top 10 then there'll be some RN credits available.

    I've no idea about the lottery. I watched the video about the wheel thing and only one order and that sounded too complicated I didn't even bother trying to understand it.

    Thanks for that. Yes, I am trynna go full Viking. But, there's an issue. I grew mine though patchy about 5cm long and it started itching like crazy. Tried a moisturising cream which made it a bit better though.
    I am concerned for going full Viking. If I am physically capable of going full Viking, I am not sure yet, I'd probably braid it

    Also, Bas, what Ryzen APU did you say you own?

    *CPU

    Ryzen 9 7900 (with iGPU)!

    What's your review of it for gaming?

    I really like it. Way faster than my laptop hahaha!
    But a dedicated GPU would probably be better for most games.
    But since I only play minecraft (and stream that), my iGPU is pretty good. I can get like 100+ fps without shaders. But I usually limit it to 30-60 fps as I don't need more

    My friend has an offer on a 7900X with 5070Ti. I am caught in a dilemma here cause the seller doesn't know about the price inflation and is ready to sell way below the current market. My friend needed to know if a 7900X is good. Now, I am unsure if I should tell him or not cause the poor seller would suffer

    The seller probably doesn't care and probably has already bought and fitted the replacement CPU so he's not left without a working PC.

    Also your friend is more important than some random anonymous seller.

    Do you have some sort of consumer regulatory agency in your country for banks? Maybe you could file a complaint with them.

    I suggested the same, but since it's only 10 euros that's on hold, he said it isn't worth it

    yeah, too much time and work for just €10
