I have the 2021 version from the offer, I've used it a decent bit on my work laptop. It's not bad, and I would love to buy an upgrade to the 2024 or 2026 versions, but not the subscription. The excel equivalent, planmaker, seems to be the …

Ok, let's see how this goes. $10/year is not much and those minimal-resource apps can be, for me at least, a bit of hassle to set up sometimes, plus reverse proxying stuff and whatnot. I don't know if it's my "favorite" app …

I hope that your health visit goes well, in whatever form that takes. As for LES, it's a forum it'll live on one way or another (or not, one day). To me, the most important thing is having a person/team with a specific vision who are tryi…

I will say, this is one of the few VPSes I have that does not actually idle! I use it as both a Syncthing and Duplicacy backup target so it's been quite useful. I never needed anywhere near the full 5TB, but it worked wonderfully for the usecas…

Just got the notice today. RIP to a wonderful deal! I know it's how the market is these days, though, same reason I haven't bought any hard drives in like over a year lol.

Badges acquired. Fun!

I demand purchasable items in the Karma store! Maybe a yeti?

LES quite literally operating in the future!

(Quote) I would legit challenge on you this.

(Quote) lol yes, yes, that one. Thanks, don't know why I couldn't find it! Will be submitting a ticket soon lol.
-
You still doing that get-your-old-plan-back deal? Swear I saw that somewhere, lol, but figured that might be in preparation for this billing system change.

Last Active June 2025 server may be rip.

One of my lifetimes is still on Xeon, but the rest are Epyc now (or always have been, for the more recent ones). I did ask about transitioning the oldest one over, it's old and what they used to call a rootserver, but they didn’t have the capac…

(Quote) Hey it could be worse. Mine was GoDaddy.

Firefox on my phone (Pixel), Safari on my iPad (with Adguard). I want to use Firefox on the iPad too, and it's ok and I use it sometimes, but the lack of extensions means I only use it when the syncing is the important part.

(Quote) Have tried OpenOffice (back when that was the main goto) and more recently LibreOffice. Happy to take suggestions for a more up to date alternative to try!
-
Honestly, I'm still using MS Office (365, copilot, whatever tf branding it has these days). I really, really want to switch, but every time I've tried in the past, it literally only takes a few documents for the formatting not to properly …

I happily use Host-C, Koofr, and Backblaze for different long-term storage things and all have worked well!

That's fair re:SMF. I actually have a forum still running SMF 2.1.4 myself, and apparently need to update to 2.1.6! Though it's no longer open, only archived, which reduces a lot of the attack surface.

Welcome back! Any $7/year dealz?

Uhh, like 8 or 9 of mine are wireguard nodes around the world. Another is used for a 3rd backup location (weekly encrypted offsite backups of important files). One hosts a small image sharing service that me and my friends use, which deletes all pos…

(Quote) You have to admit, that would get you to sign up for Copilot!

(Quote) I ended up submitting the order with a domain that I own but don't use anywhere (I'm sure we all have plenty of those...right? lol). Good to know you can keep using it in multiple places, that helps a lot. Especially with hosts whe…

(Quote) I figured it was some sort of pre-approved list, yeah. Hopefully the host I wanted to use will fix it, ticket has been submitted!

(Image) So glad I didn't end up getting anything from them.

Actually, went back and found it: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/134158/#Comment_134158

I forget exactly where, but somewhere on LES there is a 50% off for Migadu! I think it's a code you send in with a support ticket or something like that, I don't remember and it's been over a year since I did it, but I don't thin…

(Quote) I've found that my Germany VPS is still on the old Xeon, but Ashburn (the one I upgraded) and LA (the new one) are both Epyc. I did ask them once, a few months ago, about upgrading the Germany one, but at the time they said there wasn&#…

(Quote) On the upgraded one (which I took to 1TB storage!) I'm running a Nextcloud instance and some PDF tools (Stirling, Paperless). Basically a remote document manager.

Happy New Year fellow lowenders!

(Quote) Hey, at least I can confirm something -- if you go to upgrade a service that you originally purchased with a coupon, it still applies the coupon. Perhaps there's some time limit on this, but I upgraded a service purchased a few months a…

Now, this is a story, all about how, I ended up with yet another lifetime ZAP server...
-
Filen, out of all the lifetime storage services I have (only 100GB from Filen myself), they have been the most...I dunno how to put it, not bug-riddled so much but just generally unstable and inconsistent, with a good dose of "coming soon (tm).…

(Quote) Ah, that would make sense, thank you! Surprised there isn't a direct link to that within the billing panel, most providers seem to have that, or an integrated panel that kinda shows both or something.
-
I've realized today that their control panel has no reinstall options whatsoever. Kinda starting to wish I hadn't renewed a few days ago for another year, despite such a cheap price. Seems there is an option, it's just not linked fro…

These storage servers are such a good deal. YABS of mine below (which is Gen2 I suppose): # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2025-04-20 …
