Looks like it. We literally just (a matter of minutes ago) got an email notification that the pre-release beta testing has come to a close and the free lifetime VPS will be handed out to people who submitted meaningful contributions within the next days.

Just a quick note: A very big thank you to all the testers. All of your quick hands really helped to get Synteq's PP program across the finish line.

Later tonight we're wiping the beta database of VMs, credits, and invoices from the pre-release testing. Tickets, accounts, and everything else will stay put. Testers who submitted meaningful reviews and/or feedback per instructions will be issued their lifetime Portal Pioneer VM in August (2026).

We'll be pushing out the staged changes (UI, minor bug resolution, etc) by tomorrow.

Please continue logging bugs and submitting feedback as you use the platform, it really does get taken seriously and work towards improving the overall usable product.

Feedback throughout has been fantastic and very much appreciated. A lot of what's shipping came directly from all of your input.

also I forgot who pinged me but slight update re: Easter dedis-- they're coming on the new platform, hence my tardiness so we don't have to just move you. ETA August for that to ship and be ready.

Great. I saw my responses there. Thanks for this testing opportunity.

Congrats on the milestone. Teams got a pretty neat panel there. Big fan when companies do something different with respect to the backend management.

And Easter Dedis!

Notion link doesn't work for me: "This page couldn’t be found You may not have access, or it might have been deleted or moved. Check the link and try again."

Would have been kinda fun to have a leaderboard showing who submitted the most bugs, and who submitted the most bugs that got fixed!

Wow, Notion is the laggiest website I've been on in ages. I scroll down and it takes 15 seconds to load in the next page while the browser locks up.

I guess it's not just me who feels that way, must be brimful of bloatware. Doesn't matter whether it's on phone or desktop.

So, what media type you want?

xml
json
tsv
sql
exeCUTEble

Maxing the MCS-51 flat executable seems more challenging than I thought
Here's the json https://litter.catbox.moe/acq8xj.json

Here's the exeCUTEble https://litter.catbox.moe/vyg7on.hex
(had to truncate :P)

Is the full list of testers who provided meaningful reviews/feedback decided yet?

I think so, but I do not believe everything has been issued yet. @benha @skorupion can add some updates.

Got it. I have no idea what the bar for meaningful review is and saw others had already gotten their PP VPS, so I wasn't sure if I was eligible, and I'm sure others are wondering as well.

You've got to be eligible! If you're not, then I sure as hell am not.

I don't want to jump the gun, but I'm fairly certain you made it. I saw a pretty large list slide by.

I haven't seen anything either

I just got a notification to "complete details to start provisioning" 1TB of block storage in Dallas, but that might have been left over from beta testing? Unclear as to what's going on, so I'll just hang tight for now.

The vps/storage block is wiped out on Jul 31. So, that's the PP

gsea4 · August 6

Yes just got my Pee Pee as well

deafcon · August 6

I got the email, and logging in shows both a VPS and block storage orders that need to be completed. I don't see a way to pick a location when completing the order though. If we're all getting Dallas, I'm not complaining. I just don't want to jump the gun.

My notification was for block storage, but your comment made me login and check; I'm also seeing a pending VPS order in the control panel. In Dallas--my preferred location. I think I'll click through and see what happens.

crunchbits · August 6

It's only Dallas ATM. Just pushing as that's fully vetted and live.

The plan was to get SPO up over the next week, but there's a pretty serious and major disaster going on there at the moment so it's delayed. Not trying to add that kind of pressure to staff/employees unnecessarily for us/other companies out there. Will shift to east coast (VFO) instead.
