(Quote) I must have lost track with all the goings on. I'm sure I've glossed over a lot.
-
(Quote) I don't think Cociu did IPv6. Called your bluff (or am I wrong?).
-
(Quote) When you (@host_c) were up in the air, we had an incident (NSFW) here. Luckily the yeti-was-on-duty and took care of it quickly but not quickly enough for you to notice the views. All is OK now and we're just waiting for your deals to drop…
-
So might as well make this productive. What configs are we talking about here? 1 vCPU / 2GB RAM / 20GB NVMe OS Drive / 3 TB HDD (HW RAID-6, 3K IOPS). Is what I've seen. I know there seems to be a lot of variants (sorry haven't really paid attent…

OK. Here we go... A is for awk, which runs like a snail, and B is for biff, which reads all your mail. C is for cc, as hackers recall, while D is for dd, the command that does all. E is for emacs, which rebinds your keys, and F is for fsck, …

@lukast__ how many more to go to 27 and then on to 30?
-
(Quote) Wow. I distinctly don't remember that. But there you go. Quite creative I must say and again we remember these experiences (and obviously the resulting treasures) because of the challenges thereof.
-
(Quote) Aah there's scholarly precedent - quite evident from your crypto cracking charisma earlier today.
-
(Quote) I swear I'm not buying anything. My target is 30. I got conned yesterday. The devil led us astray. There was a silver lining though. I hope people are getting what I'm getting at...
-
@lukast__ and @Wonder_Woman - you both seem to have got a hang of the page counts quite well. I'm quite lost - by the time I refresh I'm lost. Must be getting old...
-
So help me along ... those who are awake... Puzzle - treasure hunt. Clues from various sites (including Providers). Remember Gigahost easter egg (hiding in some Gif)? Another easter egg was I think literally a HTTP header somewhere. There were …
-
Puzzle ideas (tagging @FAT32 as he seems to know how to take it to some mythical level where you also get deals by enjoying yourself). (Quote) Totally fun - I don't have anything to show for 4-5 days now (other than some interesting bills). I've b…
-
(Quote) We have time... Let's try (though the fatigue is hitting). Everytime I come here (over the past few days), I've been dazed and blindsided. Lots of mentally taxing stuff going on - high value, high volume, high velocity.
-
We need a puzzle. Not VirMach level hard but hard enough requiring some serious collaborative effort - maybe an Internet treasure hunt of sorts with hidden clues at different places. Going to think aloud. Please pitch in. It will also help us to g…
-
(Quote) Tell me about it. After some of the ahem historical events, my (VirMach) collection dwindled to a meagre 2 (my precioussssss - you'd have to pry them from my cold dead hands). Now with this puzzle and easter eggs and the crowd here oohing …
-
But of course... THANKS-FAT32
-
OK. Just caught up here. I went over the old place and seemed like it was unusually quiet. I figured everyone is broke and @FAT32 is exhausted and so the party is over. @host_c had mentioned yesterday (or was it day before -I've lost track of time…
-
(Quote) Either that or @host_c got access to Cociu's secret stash of HDDs at a great price. But hey, I'm loving it - cheaper the better and the LE cheapskates can afford them. Thank you.
-
Someone mentioned wanting a dump of all the sale offers so far? I think I have some debug output captured somewhere that I can probably clean up and provide (json like format). If there's interest, please thank or tag and I'll try to get it done. …
-
(Quote) As long as you phrase it as a puzzle, you got me hook-line-and-sinker. We may get bored pretty quickly with IPv6 once it works as designed. Then we may come back to harass you for more code (pun intended) breaking (or fixing) exercises. W…
-
(Quote) If, instead of cooking up these tough nut puzzles, you had reconfigured your routers with IPv6 support (far easier I assume than cooking up these puzzles), we would all be in a frenzy buying machines instead of having hangovers (and dreams/n…
-
I don't want any more VMs... I don't want any more VirMach VMs... I don't want any more VMs with more than 1 IPv4... I DO want VMs with IPv6... I will nevah have enough VMs actually have enough VMs.
-
(Quote) I completely concur. And you too Madam (or Sir or anything else as the case may be) are nothing short of Wonderful.
-
(Quote) WAS or IS ONGOING? Either way I'll let you get back to your code breaking and I'll wait for the tl;dr later. Intrigued. And feeling very bad about the whole timing of this thing - at the end of a long brain draining session, the horse pow…
-
I just got here and there's a wonderful POST-BF Frenzy (that I clearly have no ability to comprehend). What just happened? I thought we had finished the hard part and had to go away to do some real work.
-
@VirMach - thank you for capping off a fun weekend in a really special and memorable way. I'm going to remember this for a long long time - it's not every day (or year even) that you get a nice lesson in History, VMs, Math and Programming all toget…
-
(Quote) I told you, he was toying with us (but nicely). Well done yet again!
-
That was fantastic. @VirMach - Thanks for a very entertaining puzzle. Totally bot proof and almost definitely average human proof. Thanks @adly and @Wonder_Woman (also others who I am not sure about) for providing valuable clues Really enjoyed it…
-
I'm a little late, but I figured I'd just add what I could do so far (mostly on the right track based on the hints). I got the UKW-C (I was trying multiples in some hope) and I thought "see" was a pun but it wasn't italicised and so didn'…
-
(Quote) I (shamelessly) do that too but at different locations.
-
Any hopes of getting a genuine LOW End Idler for the Idlers club around here? A smallish 512MB-1GB RAM + 1vCPU + 10-20GB Disk + 1TB Traffic for about $15/year (with IPv4+IPv6)?
-
@VirMach - got a VM in AMS. Looks like the VM is provisioned without IPv6 (expected based on what you've said before). Possible to get IPv6 or else move/reprovision the VM to another node where IPv6 is available? On a related note, other than Amste…
-
Phew. Sanity restored. I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow.
-
(Quote) Don't think - there's no time. It's going to change... be ready... there's no time...
-
You know @VirMach we're suckers for these kinds of VMs. It would have been great if we had access to a "special" bundle - a $5 VM in every (or most or pick n) locations and we all would have jumped it like the good old days of crazy sales.…
-
We should get a "mystery" VM - specs known, location unknown. Even better if we get a world tour - every 1st of the month, when you reset the bandwidth, nuke the old vm and reprovision it in a new location (different from the previous 3) w…
-
(Quote) I thought I could then I realized I've become old AND I'm running on very low sleep. Bad recipes for any thing other than zombie like acquisition of idlers one certainly does not need.
-
Where is that wonderful woman just when we need her?
-
Yawl got dem copouns? I just want bragging rights to a big VM...
