TrK is so hyped now, he won't be leaving the first spot for anyone

Anyone hoping for the laptop needs to grab it from him, but, he's extremely competitive and that's understandable.

I'm here.

Go for it then..

Let's go go for it don't give up

Anybody who gave up- too soon. Take xpress' example. Learn from him.

Am i that much behind?

No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

He's a professional at this, so he knows slow and steady wins the race.

I am like retired professional competing with young guys.. 🤣

Retiree making a re-entry. Cue music.

🤣🤣

Feeling like Dhoni?

Definitely not. 🤣

Maybe some CSK music will get you there.

Not a fan of IPL though. Basically stopped watching cricket after retirement of Dada. Fan of him since school.

Me too. Never been a fan of cricket my whole life (Yes, I was an anomaly among friends). But, still watched it for Sachin, Ganguly (Dada), Sehwag, Dravid, etc. and the gang. Since their retirement, I believe it has degraded.

I need to start watching cricket one day. It seems very popular. I jsut dont understand the rules and need to take the time to learn

Oh yeah, it's really popular in India.

Should become the national game at this point

I personally won't support that though.

why is that? you sounded like a big cricket fan

How was your Christmas everyone?

Completed the debugging of my projects

Seems like a good use of christmas!

I think so as well.

So ready to launch mystery?

A lil bit of debugging left. On it right now.

Backend? what languages you are using?

PHP, always. Too dumb to go for Python.

Php is great for web. I use it for work.

What framework/cms you are using?

For the blog, WordPress. No other frameworks, just plain old PHP.

Rocking wordpress.. kk. go.

Vvweb is a good one....

From my experience.. I don't suggest anything without a large ecosystem to newbies. After some time, it is fighting against the framework/cms instead of haivng what we want..

Lol true, but if one want a website with easier to code into and some functions ready to roll vvvweb is a solid choice specially the multi domain work.

i'll have to give vvvweb a shot. I never cared much for wordpress because it seems like they are running almost a monoploy. more Competition fuels innovation

Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop?

Babe its to gift our beloved xpress.

You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix.

Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it?

Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare.

It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

I am bad at hardware soldered hardware.

Me as well. I try to stay away as much as possible, but recently I have taken an interest to it

You soldered anything recently?

Yup, a router and my Android box.

Router? what did you solder in that?

UART. It helps you get shell access to any device that supports it.

Hells yeah. What router /device is that? I UARTed mine to install OpenWrt on it.

I just bought an openWrt router, seemed like an easy route but not as fun

What router is that?

Openwrt is a router OS

I know. Using that on my router. I meant what router he bought for OpenWrt.

My router has open Wrt built in. Its an asus router and i bought it specfically for that. Also because its asus

xpress7 is cataching up to TrK let's see what happens

You and I are closer to him in the rankings.

I will catch up, after you all sleep.

I'm not sleeping not for a few days

LOL! I dunno whether to encourage you or tell you about the bad effects of losing sleep.

Let him learn on his own....

Right. Experience is the best teacher.

Yes.. He is a great teacher.. He taught me so many life lesssons.

more than you better half?

She is his daughter.

you know what i am laughing like crazy on this one

🤣🤣

Oh man, I missed this gem. I am gonna screenshot this for later !

Wait im lost, who is whos daughter!? Whaat

He was teasing his wife saying, experience is the teacher and his wife is experience's daughter personified.

Now I understand. Thanks

Yah, being a married man makes him qualified to throw around jokes related to marriage and wives.

As long as my wife doesn't see them.

You pray for that.

Shutting down the laptop works.

Temporarily, might I add. Pretty sure, it's tough for you to stay away from the laptop this RackNerd season.

True. Should open laptop to win laptop.

If you need it you have to get it

More like, grip it out of TrK's hands at this point.

Yes, snatch it

Pardon me for the error. Snatch is the proper word here.

Its ok, no need to apologize! We all make mistakes and it was very easy to understand what you were getting at! Context can do a lot to help our brains function and stay on track

Chances to better my vocab I guess. There's a lesson in every experience.

You will get a lot of practice in here, thats no doubt

Oh yah. Learned a few words and about new frameworks already.

Not the first time for him. he was playing it cool during BF cause he just wanted the iPad.

That makes more sense now. I didnt recall the race being so close in the BF thread as it is now

Yup, the loss of the iPad also hurt him Ig. That's why he's going for the laptop aggressively.

Its his own fault. He should've commented less..

LOL! Overqualified curse.

It's fine everything has it's own course of action we can do little to intervene in that

Yah, you are right. If you had gotten complacent, you might have just been overthrown. So, can't blame

yeah exactly. TrK has to stay on top of his game here. Its a tough run for his lappy

Ooooh, HMU on Discord and I got you. I can't maintain a proper conversation on that topic here with all the noise.

Go go go no openwrt for xpress

Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

Install transmission and do torrent

Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

Entirely possible depending on the amount of torrents running, they're extremely heavy in I/O operations. This is made worse by running it on a SOHO router.

Might be but I doubt express was using transmission aggressively compared to myself.

I was agressive. Have around 40-50 active torrents at that time.

wow thats crazy. Yeah i could 100% see that killing your drives. Too much reading and writing is going to take its tool eventually

Yah, I believe I had a similar setup. Only that they decided to get me Win 98 with it, not even XP.

Why 98? I got it with XP. I used to format the system everymonth and reinstall the OS, to increase the PERFORMANCE.. 🤣🤣

Yah, remember the time, we used to measure a PC's performance based on the number of times the XP loading bar moved before desktop loaded?

Oh yeah. I spent most of the time tuning the PC than using it. Funny days..

Remember the application - SpeedumyPC and bviously, RAM Downloader?!!

Ha ha I remembered them all. And the flashy gif ads on websites with Download Ram ...

Missing downloading more RAM now. 🤣🤣

LOL! How many times have we been fooled by that.

Ha ha. Somehow I never fell for that though. I was mad for PCs at that time and read a lot about them. I've been reading about computers since 98 iirc, even though I don't have a computer. I love computers.

Not for the RAM Downloader. Oh no, never fell for that. But, I did fall for SpeedupmyPC.

Those are sweet memories.

The only thing Windows still keeping from those days is the BSOD.

And, the thing is they did virtually nothing to fix those BSODs. Instead what'd they do? Redesigned the BSOD page.

atleast its not the same BSOD anymore!

LOL! Youa re right. The new design makes it look less threatening and scary

BSOD is light heart attack anyway..

Oh yeah, especially when you have something important going on.

thats the worst time a BSOD can hit. No time si really good for a BSOD but they always seem to hit at the worst moment

And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021

Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

"Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

I hadnt heard about its thermal management but HP really knew what they were doing back in the day. Its shame where they went

Yup. Dell too had great thermal management. But, we all know what theya re doing nowadays.

I always think dell will make a big comback one day. I think the founder bought them back recently, no?

No idea, did he? Dell has been an all-time favourite of mine, until recently. I also hope if Dell's back to its roots, they work on bringing Alienware back to its golden days.

The deal could have finalised..... Sed.... But let's see what I will do with 450 usd sitting on my RN account.

You already converted? should've waited a little more?

Don't have any money left to pay for greedy customs

May be selling some vps/hosting?

I'd snag some cheap second hand services if they're to my likings.

Great. @TrK ?
I should also start hosting then. I think I already have a potential customer here..

I have a lineup of products ready to be published but I am stuck at finding a name for this one.

Lets work on that as well.

Sure but it will only happen on or after jan

"Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

Yeah it seems with every iteration things change ever so slightly with everything from cpus, to cars, to laptops, to pc. hard to keep track of what year is what sometimes and what can be reliable

Exactly. I guess it's the time for newer startups like Framework to shine.

Framework laptop is good i approve 👍

Would love to have one. personally used it before?

Got someone I know using it, seems a rock solid choice if you want your device to stay with you for years to come.

Oh yeah, similarly among phones, we have the Fairphone.

I need to check that out as well. Another one i have never heard of. Phone are terrible where i live. nothing that i like

Exactly. It's a $850 item. You gotta be able to put in some hard work for that.

Oh snap, i didnt even look at the value! That is really generous of racknerd and dustin to do this. No wonder its such a hot giveaway

Yup. It's also the first time that an i& laptop is up for grabs.

is it almost always a desktop for grabs?

No, it's usually an i5 laptop with 2000 Series GPU. This time around, Dustin mixed it up severely.

Indeed! Let's get the racknerd price

I don't have a set prize in mind, as of now. Just hyping the thread up for as long as I can, and then gonna flow with the course.

Despite not having a set prize in mind, if there was any one you could choose with no contest, which would it be?

Frankly, the PS5. Being interested in the PS4 Linux scene, a PS5 is something that I've wanted for quite some time now.

Can you flash a different os onto the PS5 and turn it into an emuatlor for all consoles?

Not presently, but, both the PS4 and PS5 share same architecture for a good part. PS4 is currently capable of running Linux.

suut

Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop?

Babe its to gift our beloved xpress.

You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix.

Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it?

Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare.

It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

As long as there is no soldering, that would make it way easier

I'll never buy something with soldered ram

MacBook? Mac mini? 😂😂😂

Nope. Thats why I prefer a PC. Most developers I've seen like the MacBook pro though. I do like the looks of it. But non upgradability is meh for me.

It's upgradable if you get the right tools, right replacement chips and a sure fire way to temper with OS core....

I think someone who has to work to earn, and spending on MacBook to work, will not have that much time to put that effort.

That's why we see more macs in garbage dump.....

Thats how Apple earns money.. selling new, dumping old.

Capitalism at it's peak....

You like Macs?

I honestly do.... Especially the OS......

OS I agree.. its beautiful and functional. Hardware is good too. But they don't want us to own it.

Hackintosh is the only way.......

Will try on my new nitro.

Doesn't work with nvidia cards 😂😂😂

Inbuild gpu wont work for Hackintosh?

Damn slow.... Slooooowwwwww.

Then what other options one have?

Get a pc with radeon GPU rx 560/570 or rx 6600 works great and reasonable prices.

so only radeon gpus work?

I think hes looking at just the price to performance ratio. Nvidia is awesome but AMD is also awesome considering the price you pay for what you get
