Black Friday Hunt, share your best finds reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- binpax · 2023-11-24 07:30 Title says it all, in the last couple years Black Friday hasn't been as exciting in terms of deals, that's why this post, if you stumble upon anything interesting and you think it's worth it, you can share it with the community here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trivialinsight · 2023-11-24 07:39 pCloud has lifetime offers like every year at every black Friday: https://partner.pcloud.com/r/108201 (aff. link), like Works great with rclone to schedule encrypted backups of server and container data. No monthly or yearly renewal. Worth it part of a backup strategy alongside other storage media. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SignificantTrack · 2023-11-24 07:44 Seems like black friday is more of an excuse to raise price in September to slightly lower it in Oct/Nov. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eve-collins · 2023-11-24 07:51 I thought thats just me, but I noticed that Black Friday is not as it used to be anymore. Thanks to various services like camel camel and honey I can see that those “discounts” are the actual prices, and that the price bumped few weeks ago to just get back down now for Black Friday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- subven1 · 2023-11-24 08:34 Hmm my Hetzner Storage Boxes cost 3,81€/month for 1TB and 12,79€/month for 5TB so 3-4 years until the point from which the pcloud offer becomes worthwhile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- binpax · 2023-11-24 08:39 That's exactly the case in recent years, but I think there can be some exceptions, hopefully someone will share something interesting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- binpax · 2023-11-24 08:41 Hetzner for the win, I've been using them for the last 3/4 years, no complaints at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zealousideal_Oil2918 · 2023-11-24 09:06 Lowendtalk, hostbrr offers servers hosted at hetzner for <2€/tb. If you’re up for admin anyway… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sushikingdom · 2023-11-24 10:51 I’ve been tracking multiple deals on this [page](https://quickharddrive.com/black-friday-2023-deal- tracker/469/). Hot ones are the WD Red hard drive for $335 - 22 TB storage. They have 10 TB NAS grade hard drive. Costco has a 14 TB Seagate for $150. The mini PC with N10 is also on sale for about $109. 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD, and has a USB-C port. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-11-24 10:54 BackBlaze Personal: Unlimited Storage (any drive you connect to your Windows PC ... or VM ;) ) for 7,5€ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trivialinsight · 2023-11-24 11:26 I was about to say that's great! But it's 7.5 eur ... every month! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- igmyeongui · 2023-11-24 12:41 If I set a linux VM on my TrueNAS server and mount nfs share. Would that be able to backup all my nas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prokleta_kuja · 2023-11-24 13:08 MXroute has nice [deals](https://mxroute.blackfriday/). I self-host my emails and I use MXroute only for outgoing emails so the cheapest one (least storage) is enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fedroxx · 2023-11-24 13:14 Stuck a couple 20tb drives in my desktop specifically for this reason. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- webhostuk · 2023-11-24 13:26 If any one is looking for Web hosting with better discount you can always check out 50% OFF on WordPress hosting plan to get details about coupon code do visit : https://www.webhostuk.co.uk/blackfriday.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-11-24 13:44 Yes that's exactly what I'm doing. Only with a Windows 11 VM in Proxmox and as a CIFS Mount for BorgBackup on my server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-11-24 13:45 It must be a drive directly connected to the VM. A network drive will not be backuped ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-11-24 13:47 7.5€ per month for unlimited storage is still unbelievable cheap, if you really using multiple TB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lakimens · 2023-11-24 14:13 I can't find that offers, would you mind sending a link? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lakimens · 2023-11-24 14:13 It is great, what do you mean? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MagnaCustos · 2023-11-24 14:48 Years ago I was able to get a config working of a hosted windows vm mounting all my linux vms using sshfs to simulate "local drives" but i think they have since patched that out ---------------------------------------------------------------------- igmyeongui · 2023-11-24 14:51 It would have to be an iscsi drive I guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zealousideal_Oil2918 · 2023-11-24 15:07 [https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/190261/hostbrr-black-friday-deals- ryzen-i9-under-1-gb-ram-storage-vps-under-2-tb-more- inside#latest](https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/190261/hostbrr-black- friday-deals-ryzen-i9-under-1-gb-ram-storage-vps-under-2-tb-more- inside#latest) ​ Hybrid Stoage 4 TB - Finland 2 vCore Intel Xeon W-2145\* 4 GB DDR4 ECC RAM 80 GB NVMe Gen4 Storage 4000 GB HDD Raid-6 storage (NVMe Cached) 12000 GB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps 1 IPv4 & IPv6/64 Available in Germany & Finland €9.5/month (€8 IPv6 Only) €27/quarterly (€22.5 IPv6 Only) if you pay per year its 95€.

I came here specifically looking for NAS drives. Thanks for your comment! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheBeansDream · 2023-11-24 17:03 The testimonials on the site are 100% legit! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HoustonBOFH · 2023-11-24 17:30 With these tools and others, that game is just about over. So many consumers are just done with all the BS, and I think a larger shift is coming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Normanras · 2023-11-24 17:37 We can only hope. I don’t think I’ve bought much of anything on Black Friday or Prime Day the last few years due to the prices just being regular prices. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HoustonBOFH · 2023-11-24 17:44 I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the "Forbidden Services" where they forbid "Forward-only service for massive numbers of domains on one account." I have 5 domains... Any idea what "massive numbers" means? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fjch1997 · 2023-11-24 17:55 Too bad my build is all about SFF 2.5 inch drives ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HoustonBOFH · 2023-11-24 18:00 Me too. I have a Harbor Freight a few blocks from my home. I used to go all the time with a pile of coupons. Last weekend they free stuff with no purchase required and I couldn't be bother to go. Just not worth the effort for something of so little value. I also spend more time at estate sales and on local used marketplaces now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Docccc · 2023-11-24 18:16 it was a good service untill they implemented there own black lists. Which made me lose like half of incoming emails from customer because there server ranges where on some weird blacklist. the owner didn’t care. moved away and problem solved ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-11-24 18:25 KASA HS300 $39.99 for 6 port smart strip with energy monitoring. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tech2but1 · 2023-11-24 19:05 Most definitely a scam. Website shows a different URL to the domain and the phone number is formatted completely randomly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- daynighttrade · 2023-11-24 20:00 Oh, I saw crucial 2TB SSD for 88, got excited, however the price is back to 150s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sushikingdom · 2023-11-24 20:03 I’m sorry pal, I’ll be on the look out for you. Feel free to sign up to the newsletter if you want emails. I’ll reply to your comment if I find anything comparable for similar price. https://quickharddrive.com/newsletter/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mtx0 · 2023-11-24 21:00 wait so this could theoretically backup all of my linux isos? like 50tb worth? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eve-collins · 2023-11-24 21:13 That is very true. My personal Black Friday is whenever I get notified by one of those extensions about the discounts on the products I’m following. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongrilla · 2023-11-24 21:15 Duplicacy have their lifetime license available. $65 and worth it if you want the GUI. https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/2023-black-friday-offer-lifetime- personal-licenses/8168 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hiroler · 2023-11-24 21:22 Do you use it? Is it just a backup tool to back up to cloud services? Im interested. Sorry for asking you and not researching- in a food coma lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-11-24 21:24 Yes, still the same price, and even with 1 year version history (if you enable it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AnomalyNexus · 2023-11-24 21:27 >I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the "Forbidden Services" Bulk email providers need pretty tight and aggressively worded ToS by necessity because they're a target for spammers & abuse. The owner of mxroute has been around on various forum for years & consistently strikes me as a very reasonable bloke that won't cause you problems if you don't cause him problems. >I have 5 domains... Any idea what "massive numbers" means? Maybe I'm imagining this so please don't quote me on this but I vaguely recall hearing them answering a question around what constitutes reasonable in the context of unlimited domains as "if you needed a script/automation to create them then you're probably over the line". [Note that this is purely my impression as long term customer & I have no special insight/connection to them. Legally they can enforce the ToS] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AnomalyNexus · 2023-11-24 21:35 Worth noting that mx renewals honor BF pricing. I'm still cruising on my 2019 era BF deals lol... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HoustonBOFH · 2023-11-24 22:18 Thanks. I want a fallback for problematic mail servers (Microsoft) only, and do not want to pay the tool to the people causing the problem. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LastTreestar · 2023-11-24 23:42 Looked at this hard, but I still can't find a reason to give all my data to someone else... especially when the laws can change at a moment's notice, or already be secretly in place to allow access. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OCPik4chu · 2023-11-25 02:25 100% this. Had some hard drive upgrades I was going to get and at the end of the day their price was only like 10-15$ different than they were when I was looking a month ago despite being "over 40% off for Black Friday!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-11-25 02:57 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimespeakspanish · 2023-11-25 03:40 Can I use it to backup a Onedrive account to local storage? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Accomplished-Lack721 · 2023-11-25 03:48 It started well ahead of actual BF, but Best Buy has 18TB Easystore drives for $200. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Parasomnopolis · 2023-11-25 07:16 There's usually some good black friday deals on https://lowendtalk.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongrilla · 2023-11-25 09:55 I don't backup to Cloud but yes you can. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongrilla · 2023-11-25 09:55 Hmmmm not sure on that one, you can backup from Local to OneDrive though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FreestyleStorm · 2023-11-25 11:50 They have not lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PovilasID · 2023-11-25 12:03 I did some online shopping and my experience is 50/50. 50 % of goods I was looking for were at their normal price with discount sticker slapped onto it and 50% had actual meaningful discounts. Since I was buying the discounted stuff I added a few things that I knew I will need but was in no rush to try and bundle some shopping costs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Iam_motivated_jay · 2023-11-25 12:26 Check out Fluz App and use their coupon code to get paid for creating an account. You will also receive Cash Back on purchases. Simply download the app and entered this Fluz App Promo Code: MJ051983 or you can simply click this link https://joinfluz.app.link/MJ051983 I hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- binpax · 2023-11-25 14:01 Nice try ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Iam_motivated_jay · 2023-11-25 14:23 You guys need to grow up. Companies give out coupons to consumers all of the time via email and via the mail for consumers to savemoney. Sharing the company name and product without sharing their offers is insane. You may want to pay full price for items and ignore deals but I'm a consumer that utilize resources especially if is offering a discount and cash back on everyday purchases but each their own
