Anybody received an invite for a card for an inquiry sent on or after 27th January? I sent one on 26th but nothing yet. I dropped them an email just in case but no reply so far.

They did have a similar disclaimer in the 30xx series email as well, at least in the one I received for 3080Ti.

@TechHead thanks for the heads up! Just curious, when did you place your inquiry for the 5080?

Yeah for desktop use multiple PCIe slots is not that important, if you are happy with your onboard networking, storage and audio options. For flight sim, USB accessories should be all you need in addition to those, so if you have as many USB ports as the accessories you are planning to use you...

Bought a code and worked smoothly, thanks for the deal. Leaving feedback.

I have a pretty similar setup, with a DigitalOcean VPS with a reverse proxy for direct connections for certain apps (like jellyfin) which need higher bandwidth and other apps accessed via Tailscale. So far has worked without any issues. That's pretty cheap for a VPS, could you link which one...

A couple of things I just remembered about the mini PC I purchased from Amazon that I missed above, JFYI: Here's the link to the one I bought: https://amzn.in/d/3wkfewA 1. For the 1st unit I got, it was running a very old BIOS version. I tried doing a BIOS update from the official tools on the...

Yes, agreed. What I meant above is that I have no special use case of a static IP with my setup, as with Tailscale I can connect to my servers from anywhere. Additionally I run one ingress on port :443, which handles all services in hosted here, routed via different subdomains. So its pretty...

I deliberately avoid exposing these services to the wider internet, as I don't want to deal with the complexities of securing this setup for public access. I use Tailscale to create a VPN for these services along with all my personal devices so I can access them from everywhere without needing a...

I documented my setup here, in a couple of blog posts: Hardware details https://blog.shkhr.dev/posts/homelab-2024h1-1/ Software details https://blog.shkhr.dev/posts/homelab-2024h1-2/ I use it for 2 things 1. Self hosting certain services. The list is pretty long, here is a snapshot of my...

Got one code, working well. Thanks for quick and smooth deal.

I got a Lenovo M900 tiny from Amazon for my homelab. It has been running 24x7 for close to 2 years at this point. I did not really use it for day-to-day computing much, but did install Windows on it just to test once. It was pretty smooth overall, and given the ones you are going for are much...
