Every November, our sister forum, LowEndTalk, erupts into that familiar ritual: the Black Friday MegaThread. It starts with a quiet spark, a handful of pre-BF warmups, and then, it detonates into an annual tradition in which servers, moderators, and caffeine supplies are all pushed to the limit. This year's Black Friday megathread on LET was named: “2025 Black Friday / Cyber Monday: FLASH SALE & MEGATHREAD – The Trade War”, and it truly lived up to its name. And one provider really dominated the forum this year.

Unless you're a Fortune 500 company or an arm of the government, news that the latest version of the Oracle database is probably irrelevant to you. But it's coming out  in January and will be called 26ai.  This follows 23ai and 19c.  And there's a free version.  Really.

As you all know, as soon as AI gets a single tick past human intelligence, it's going to take over the world and exterminate homo sapiens. At least, that's what a lot of people assume.  Will that happen?  Your guess is as good as Sam Altman's. Meanwhile, we have two confirmed victims of AI, both of which are household names in the IT community.

One of the most famous (or infamous, if you prefer) private torrent trackers is MyAnonaMouse.  It's been around since circa 2008 and exclusively hosts ebooks, comics, and other electronic publications. For the past 15-odd years it's been a rather exclusive club.  You can apply, and if you're impatient, you can buy access from one of the many black market brokers.  Once you've achieved membership, there are rules to follow, etiquette to obey, and work to maintain your membership. But of late, people I've talked with say it's not worth the hassle.

Set Up Your Own Private Pastebin: Control Your Snippets and Secrets

If you’ve ever relied on public pastebin services to share code snippets, logs, or sensitive configurations, you’ve probably worried about privacy and longevity. Public pastebins can delete content at any time, expose data to unwanted eyes, or fail to give you fine-grained control over who sees what.  And what if they get hacked?  Even if you're anonymous, logs and other data could possibly trace things back to you.  And if you're stored anything sensitive there, they could be exposed.  The good news is that you can easily set up your own self-hosted Pastebin.  That's the LowEnd DIY way!

Piotr Returns: Is Coolify the "Sweet Spot" Between Heroku/Vercel and a Self-Hosted VPS?

Services such as Vercel and Heroku provide an easy on-ramp to hosting your app, but they come at very premium prices. The alternative is to roll your own infrastructure with a self-hosted VPS, but this is starting from scratch and you sacrifice a lot of speed in getting your app to market. Coolify is a nice middle-ground between these two extremes.
