I might just migrate to classic press

Are you trying to install one now?

Trying to setup a new instance for someone 😂

Customer? k carry on.. where are you doing it anyway? vps ? or shared?

Yeah another cheap one who can't afford from scratch or time.

Mostly we find customers like that only. Rich clients won't come to us unless we have some shiny office. Or atleast we need some good network.

i once had a meet for a flight booking agency but decided to drop it as i knew i won't be able to cater their needs as i simply hand over everything the support/etc should be handled by the their internal team

Just flight booking website for their operations? or entire booking system? Second one is large project.

The entire system with integrations to odoo and a bunch of API, I could have finished it somehow but after that I don't have neither resources not man power support their infra.

Exactly. Lots of api integrations, and testing, and you need to setup servers, etc.. too much work for single person.

what if it paid handsomely? could you have hired a team to help?

Should I just use Redis Object Cache plugin for WordPress, or should I manually setup Redis for Wordpress?

try w3 total cache or litescache if on ols/litespeed webserver.

Nah, Took your recommendation and happy with Nginx now. Loving it infact. Went with the Redis Object Cache plugin. Just completed setting it up.

nginx is what i use. Redis as well. Good stack you have going there!

Get a game like GTA 5 if you plan on playing a game for a long time. Since it has a huge map and everything, should keep you satisfied for atelast an year, if you don't spend a major portion of the day just for it.

Will think of it, based on what I win. But I'll definitely buy the Witcher one.. or Red Dead may be if witcher 4 getting too late.

Alright, or as someone else recommended, just get PS Plus sub.

Will definitely think , but first I have to win.. lots of time left..

Yah, go for it. Mind if I go for the PS5 btw?

Oh noo.. if i don't get lappy, then i will settle for PS5.. don't come between pls.. 🥹

we can look into a trade if i land in ps5 or lappy. I'll take tv, just promise you will take physical delievery and not credits

Ha ha.. I think we won't have any giveaways until some hours may be.

Yeah second this...

Yup, I think we will get one more in the afternoon. Anyway we got plenty of time.

That we do. Let's hope for the best.

I really wish the sweaters have international shipping. Missed that. What did you do? converted?

Yeah 😅😅😅 you know me well enough 😂

What other option we have. So you must be richest after noob in our racknerd gang.

Well don't know about that so can't say much 😜

Oh come on. No tax department here. how much you have?

Currently it's sitting a solid $40 in my RN account.

What? you've hidden the arcade machine price here.

Well it's under talks....

Oh k. I thought the doors closed, as you didn't mention anything about that agian. All the best for you then.

I doubt it will go other way than credits

how many are you thinking you'llg et? Do you have to pay taxes on it?

No i don't have to on credits....

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.

They happen only when we have important work.

Oh yes. Interestingly, similar amount of work doesn't cause a kernel panic on Linux.

Linux kernel is solid..

Wish Windows learned something from Linux.

it did, WSL wasn't born from capitalistic mindsets

Was using WSL for quite some time. It was infact WSL that pushed me to install Linux as my primary OS.

yeah wsl is a really good intro. I can almost work completly in wsl and migrate over with ease

OKHao

Yah, just completed setup. Some weird permission error was blocking it. Fixed now.

running it on vps?

Yup. Trying it on the Ryzen.

any odd errors running on the ryzen? Like issues from using the different cpu vs the vcpus? Ryzen gives you a true dedicated core right?

How's it looking, w3tc is a good one for nginx users been using myself on some websites.

Since Redis is already setup (again you recommended that and I am loving it), I decided to use it instead of any others.

nice that it came with it ready to go. Really a good tool and good to have around if you roll custom later on

BTW, I am loving the RackNerd Ryzen VPS. Coming from older Intel Xeons, this is a definite upgrade for me. The core usage doesn't go above 1% most of the time. First time I am seeing that. Would recommend the Ryzens for anyone looking for some raw power.

now you are making me more sad that i missed the ryzen flash sales. They went UBER fast
