I wonder what payment methods they accept.

On the site: no information.

FAQ: "You can order your Elastic Metal RV1 server directly on the order page"

click order page:

"I have a question, a problem, what can I do?

Like all Scaleway services, you can contact us officially via our support center, or informally via the Scaleway Community Slack."

click support center:

-> "create an account to view the page"

Scaleway Community Slack:

You know what, never mind.


Credit cards and SEPA at a minimum.


We added an FAQ question (https://labs.scaleway.com/en/em-rv1/#i-have-a-question) with a link to the Elastic Metal documentation where you can find the payment methods.


And they use Jumio. Instantly noped out after doing a number of other steps to get my account going. I have to verify bank deposits, and upload my ID through that piece of shit Jumio? The brilliant product built by people incapable of understanding that just letting me upload my gd damn ID is easier than trying to get me to complete the flow on my phone.

No. No, actually there are plenty of people willing to take my money. Christ, it's far less of a hassle to get a crypto account opened on a decent exchange. I can't be the only one who just nopes out at stuff like this.

This is on top of the unactionable banner I have that tells me I have a pending contract (I have no pending contract, and no reason I would have one). Okay Scaleway, I get it, I'll move on.


I suppose generic communication channels have a lot of noise for Big Brother monitors. When someone exchanges Retriever links though, monitors will know that some "secret" is being shared and can focus on potential targets more easily, with a noise filter.


My point was assuming proper e2e encryption, so Big Brother can't know it's a retriever link. It also can't know it's an actual secret


The people who call out the "inhumane regime" of Iran are usually exactly the same ones who openly hate America (where women can do whatever the hell they want) and display sky high levels of admiration for Barack Obama, who gave a metric ton of American taxpayer money to Iran.

I am posting this again because my first post has been shadow banned.


Allende was destroying Chile. The Chilean military had the good sense of putting an end to it.


But he was elected good or bad policies it was up to the voters to decide - the CIA/US supported coup bought in a military dictator who had people dropped into the sea and lakes from aircraft.

How about the mothers still today protesting about their sons/daughters who disappeared (1,248).


Because being a black man is what really matters in a presidential election. Got it.


How much it matters depends on many factors

I think you'd be intellectually dishonest saying it wasn't a historical election


Is that a promise? Are you people really going to die? How soon? Any chance you die by the end of this week?


Hey, could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit? You broke that badly with this post, and we're trying for something else here.


I don't know what you people are talking about. I'm just glad I always browse with Javascript turned off. If you didn't see the writing on the wall and permanently turn Javascript off around 2006, you have no right to complain about anything.

Meanwhile, ironic irony is ironic: "Hey, idiots! Learn to use Unicode already! Usability and stuff! Oh, btw, here is some extremely annoying Javascript pollution on your screen because we are all still children, right? Har har! Pranks are so kewl!!!1!"


Are you alright?


I don't know about the rest of the world, but I keep losing interest in technology because it's rarely meant to be useful anymore. More and more technology seeks these goals:

1. control

2. vanity

3. ego

4. control

5. megalomania

6. compulsive urge to radically change everything you ever thought you knew about ____________

7. control

I haven't been the target audience of technology for a long time.


So many people dismiss Tcl as near garbage, but Tcl/Tk applications written more than 20 years ago still run as intended including GUI, and they run on Linux, Windows and Mac. You just install a new --or old, whatever-- version of Tcl/Tk and the scripts will run, agnostically. I have a few I made myself 15 to 20 years ago and at least with those I never have to worry about distro upgrades, repositories or libc version.


Is that because Tcl/Tk never added modern features?


Good news: you don't need music theory and I don't even recommend it. Bad news: it takes a lot of work to make one song. A lot.

I suggest you download Caustic for Windows (free, also runs on Linux with Wine) or Android ($10 I think): https://singlecellsoftware.com/

And just fiddle with it. You will get the hang of it. But you will see that building up an entire song takes a lot of time and effort.

Caustic is not good enough for serious business. You should aim for a DAW with plugins. But Caustic can be a very good start for someone who knows nothing. Some DAWs are easier than others. Tracktion Waveform has a very capable free version. Mulab also has a free version but with limitations.

The story people are commenting here is about a "tracker" type of DAW. I find those horribly difficult to use. I suggest you avoid them.
