BTW, how many merch GAs have already happened this time around? I am guessing only 1?

What was the merch GA that they did? I had not noticed it or just completely missed it. I know Dustin has sent around some merch on the side to people for which I am grateful I know there's a few people that have been trying to hype up a backpack give away at one point or another

What did he send you, a backpack?

a t shirt! This is my first ever rack nerd give away so its pretty exciting for me and i am quite thankful. I did not have any swag. I was looking for a new vps provider and ended up here and made a purchase order as well during the BF deals. If this is the community that backs my new provider.. I think I am in for the long term

That's the spirit we looking for! you should ask for a backpack and we will back you up

Ha that would be great, but I am going to wait for the give aways on that one. I do not want to seem to hog too mcuh from the community. I am sure there are many people here that could use it as well. I will do my best to try to earn one fair and square like the rest. Will be happy to win one if it does happen though. I am grateful already for the T Shirt, the free VPS, and the awesome deal i picked up during their BF sales.

The backpacks are definitely gonna be given away. How many or when, that's the only question.

Checking in before I grab some dinner. Looks like the party's still going!

Woot woot, what did you have for dinner today?

Had some ziti (and later some ice cream for desert).

I just googled that and it looks absolutely delicious!

Is this baked ziti? Such a classic dish and for good reason. Pasta is so simple to make and never really gets any major complaints. If you roll your own pasta though.. that is on a whole different level. I bought something to make my own pasta but have not gotten around to it. One day.. I want to try the difference and see if it is worth it but so much more work to do so

Yes it is, I've never heard of it before. Looks yummy

Ziti's just pasta?! Name made it sound something exquisite. Didn't know:-

just use discord maybe

Yah, but, he wants to do articles as well. Reading article son Discord isn't a great experience. SO, he will need a forum/blog to go with it as well.

what's the opinion on flarum?

I have never heard of that. Just looked it up.. written in php!? I thought PHP was long gone. That is also what I heard about 10 years ago though the last time I had touched php. Looks like it is here to stick around for a while, dont think it will ever go away. All I remember from my php days are all the $'s everywhere in my code

PHP long gone? Oh man. I love it and still use it on my projects. What else would you recommend though?

i know lots of folks still using it too. i think its got lots of life...things like nodejs are just flashier so js gets lots of attention these days

yeah doesn't php still power like 50% of stuff on internet

don't know exact percentage but its a lot!

Wordpress alone covers 43.6% of global websites as of this novemeber

The stats differ. Some say as high as 70%.

Gemini says this:-

WordPress powers a significant portion of the internet, with estimates ranging from 43% to 65%:

wow! didn't know it was that high! I used wordpress a lot a decade ago (mostly making $$ cleaning up hacked sites cuz everyone was putting it up on shared hosting with poor security). Their owner these days seems like a lot, love him or hate him.

#RACKNERD BACKPACK GIVEAWAY - SWISSGEAR!

I know the feeling. Just one more give away and then you can check out for the night. Always the thought that the next give away would be the one. The good thing I have found is that there are always more often give aways going on in this thread! I have a hunch we are going to get hit with a bunch of swag give aways soon

Oh, you shoulda been here yesterday. I kept giving myself grace periods of 10 minutes each and ended up smashing F5 for almost an hour and a half straight.

True, noob kept saying good night for like 5 times

Believe me, each time, I was being truthful to myself and you guys. But, everytime, I made the mistake of pressing on F5.

Well it's hard but nothing better to stay connected on the go or while in the bed.

I've seen @MrEd trying it once and he ranked 6 or smth very close to the first 5, I was impressed

He is quite good with mobile usage, and I mean it.

There's a good chance that we might reach 300 today! Who's with me?

My fingers are ready and I am here at your service. 300 in no time.. here we go! Every day I sign on I am surprised to see how many more pages we have tacked onto this thread. I am also a bit curious as to when we will hit the need for a Part 2 of racknerd BF giveaways. If any thread is going to hit some sort of limit its this one

Me as well. Last time around, I was practically living on the thread. So, I watched surprising things happen real time. This time around, I get to be surprised every morning.

Realtime chaos. It's always been like that.

I dunno man. I found bliss in that chaos, truth be said.
