  • For what it's worth, I really enjoyed seeing these holiday events unfold even though my only purchase was a day 3 candle in AMS which has (most likely) not been decided on. Either way, lots of potential for insane deals as usual. Really unfortunate SEA got dropped as a location as I'm primarily focused on US WC and Asia these days, but still very exciting nonetheless.

    Ah yes - but I have learnt from the master (Virmach), positive can mean many things e.g. I will definately SHOUT or I will just be patient and keep quiet. Alternatively I could positively spin the wheel, if it ends up double resources then wow...... :o

    I can see you can still purchase a server, even after revealing what wild is?
    Crazy.

    I think I fucked up things yesterday (or two days ago) and I bought it on wrong day - I wanted Insane/Wild. I guess I will gamble again today.
    Will edit post in few minutes after crypto confirmed.

    If sale should be disabled and @VirMach just forgot please "refund" my server to wallet/site balance, thanks! :D

  • @VirMach said: @Kris just tagging you as a note to myself to transfer your service away. Oh and also you got tails on today's candle, might as well reconfirm both pieces of bad news.

    Swings and roundabouts my friend, swings and roundabouts. It was bound to be the end of line.

    Thanks for an amazing month of lunacy.

    @Virmach,

    The node is ATLZ034. Looking at the conditions of the "follow on Dealer's choice"...l have drafted my response but will (literally) sleep over it, will respond early AM GMT + 5.5 Hrs if that works...

    Prudency demands I pause with the current "upgrade". However, the unexpected bump in specs, not having put the VPS to use just yet... presents an interesting high reward / medium risk scenario. Assuming worse case is - after getting RAM/Disk/Bandwidth/vCPU knocked off...
    3 GB RAM / 2 VCpu / 60 GB SSD/ 4 TB Bandwidth /1 IP (or 2?)

    Therefore best looked at with a fresh mind.

    ps: Thanks to @haynhat for kindly pointing to the specs that I had missed referring back to page 1 in the flurry of messages.

    Thanks

  • @VirMach said:

    And the second dice roll, it also gets put into VPSBF type mystery list. Good luck.

    Thanks. Let's see what the VPSBF mystery brings in for that node.

    I used to love flan, but I've only had it from one restaurant a long time ago where it tasted good. All the others and even the same restaurant maybe 15 years later doesn't taste the same anymore. Anyway, yours looks really good.

    I've never had traditional flan (no eggs)

    Had it in an Asian vegan restaurant and loved it. Don't know what's the true flavor but whatever was served was tasty

  • edited January 2025

    @imok said: Mine comes from powder.

    I think I've had that before but didn't like it, I wonder if the ingredients are different in the US.

    Edit -- Okay I found the ingredients list. Yep, it's different. US uses modified food starch and tetrasodium pyrophosphate. This version uses carrageenan which is a natural gelling agent, and disodium phosphate (not sure the difference.) Your version uses natural and artificial vanilla. US version uses only artificial. Both use aspartame (which is weird since they both also use sugar.)

    Did you, really? We all know the answer to this question. Every time. Every way.

    Don't worry about that - just cancel the server and put that 18$ as credit so I will buy more stuff later ;')

    Would there be a possibility to merge 2 Candle VMs after the mystery has been done?

    There's was a secret prize if you collect all eight days. I feel like no one's able to do it anymore as I don't remember seeing someone order day one and two, so I feel safe saying that now. To be clear though I was still in the stages of conceptualizing what it would be to figure it out and make it cool, and the first thought in my head was "Menorah" which falls in line with what you just said, putting all the candles together. Okay I've said too much, now there's going to be someone that actually did buy the first two and is going to buy the rest because I'm hyping it up too much so I'll actually stop right there.

    Will there still be any secret prize for people collect all eight days? (might be seven now because of 4/5 merged)

    And now there might be a ninth day, so the prize could be seven of nine.

    Morning @VirMach - no panic, just wondered if you missed doubling my EmotionalInformal-VM ?

    I am out of bed feeling slightly improved but still working on my automated build scripts.
    Wondered if you could give us details as to how we can use the Debian 12 beta template as I am having to upgrade each build at the moment from 11 to 12.

    Thanks

    @virmach,

    Greetings, Mysteriously my draft disappeared from my desktop. So I will keep this short, would like to participate in the dealer's choice if that is still an option,
    Not out of greed or avarice, but #yolo.

    Thanks again

  • @msatt said: Wondered if you could give us details as to how we can use the Debian 12 beta template as I am having to upgrade each build at the moment from 11 to 12.

    This is resyncing. I didn't sync it properly last time but no one noticed (including me.)

    Hope you get better. To add excitement to your script, you can start with the stock Debian 10 template that is available, and then upgrade to Debian 11, finally Debian 12.05. Takes a lot of pain away, while introducing some new pains and mental frustrations. HTH

    Second wheel has been lost in the tabs, remaking it now.

  • @tridinebandim said:.

    Depends. Are you planning on running anything on it that requires consistent [uptime, geographic location, operating system, network connectivity, or power on status]?

  • Day 9 will be day 8 but with these modifications: no more VPSBF mystery day, no images. If you roll on that you'll get a re-roll on the dice until you don't have that day. Also you don't get a screenshot of the dice roll it's just going to be a random number generator. Same with the wheel I'll just tell you what you got so I save 30 seconds. I'm banning all fun.

    LegalAbsolute-VM

    (Of course the first dice was 3, so that gets thrown out since it's VPSBF mystery. Third was 3 as well, thrown out.)

    4 | 5

    Oh my god I forgot about dealer's choice. Okay dealer's choice is that it gets rolled again until it's not dealer's choice or VPSBF. So it ends up being...

    7 | 5

    And you got... Ryzen 512. Then day 5, you landed on a node where bandwidth and disk are the best to give out. Oh I forgot this part of the dealer's choice that I definitely didn't just make up, we're not going to reduce anything because I don't feel like recreating it. Okay I was going to feel bad and redo it with VPSBF to see if it'd be better and it wouldn't since it's a bad node for that too.


    EssentialHelpless-VM

    (Second one was a 3, so re-rolled.)

    2 | 2

    Okay so it says two of the above for day 8, I don't know if it means it can or can't have the same dice roll, but since it's probably better for you I'll just say it can. Double, then Double. Node is low on IPs though and I don't know if you actually need 4x IPv4, I'm going to just give you two, and if you don't want that then we can re-roll one of the 2's. I re-rolled and it was a 3, then again and it was a 4, dealer's choice. Dealer's choice is we do 2 | 2 but only with 2 IPv4. B)

  • I don't remember who @Kris's service was supposed to be transferred to, so whoever it was, trace it back for me and quote this post anywhere to claim it. Otherwise we're going to skip over that. @Kris probably don't ever use the service in case someone claims it and it gets transferred.

    Am I forgetting anyone else for anything?

    Are we going to have an Orthodox Christmas coupon for January 7th ?

    My DNA says I'm 0.4% Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Christian. Let's see what they do for Christmas. Okay, they fast from sunrise to sunrise for 43 days before Christmas. Then they have a 4 hour Christmas Mass from 8PM to midnight. Then for gifts they give out cookies with tea (which you leave out for Egyptian Santa.)

    Have you guys fasted for 40 days already so we can do the sale?
