You don't have to literally respond to every post more than once, what happened to the ethics we once had in these threads?

Sorry, I've had a bad day, and apparently I am irritable.

Don't know and honestly I don't think they are reading recent pages at all....

Thats the problem.. may be they can have chat now.. and reply to old comments later.

Well what can we do they decide to go with that.... And I don't know why noob is doing exactly same....

Hmm.. felt same. I am leaving now ya.. have some fun..

I can't have fun Conversing with me alone, it's sed....

But, you guys will have to definitely beat me. And, I am rooting for you, so, go!

You top guys from BF thread should give some chance to us this time. No monopoly.

True that. Love to keep the hype and the competition up here, whenever I can.

I said give us chance.. not competition..

LOL! Will try my best. You would be much freer after Dec 31, without me.

time will tell if this holds true! Xpress isnt holding his breath i suspect

The Mega thread has some fire to it as well. But, haven't had the time to join them actively.

Has fire.. but its mostly nsfw and memes.. pretty good if you want to pass time though.

Yah, might join them after this thread ends, i.e., if it's still around by then.

Man, we are so close to Page 300 already. Today's the 3rd day, if I am not wrong. 100 pages a day. We are crazy!

Yup just checked the number.. We are at 276.

24 pages. Can we do that today. WDYT?

24 pages ... Its 720 comments... I think somewhat difficult.

Difficult, not impossible for the RackNerd hype gang though.

yeah the rack nerd hype gang will keep things fly fast. Page after page

Yah, that was because TrK was going for the iPad and decided to play it cool. I wanted the top spot, so I went crazier!

I don't know what will happen this time.. everybody wants the same thing.. and going on top of one another.

Oh yah, that's how it is. You know better. Maybe it's just cause this is the first time you are actually going for a top 3 prize. Or, am I wrong there?

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

I mean, discussing with dustin?

Yeah with him only who else?

I thought Frobsy

The deal broke down sed 😂

He's gonna ship it to Algeria? Or, credits?

I think not credits, as TrK will give him credits anyway.

Yah, maybe he will sell the arcade in the US as TrK mentioned.

That seems to be the most likely strategy. Everything else seems complicated

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 cool. Thats the one i use. LEMP stack.

Been an Apache head for quite a long time. Then, tried OLS, liked it. But, tried Nginx recently and find it better among the 3 for some reason.

Apache is the OG though. Nginx dethroned it. Still lots of web powered by Apache.

Oh yeah. It's the default on Xampp as well, the server I stayed with all these years on Windows.

Even in linux. Its the LAMP stack.

Yah. Used it there as well. Generally Shared hosting also mainly use Apache. But, due to its similarity in terms of htaccess usage and better caching possibilities, some recently have started to prefer OLS over Apache.

Yup, most shared hosting companies shifted to lite speed a some time ago.

Lite Speed is better, but paid. Most still use Open Lite Speed, as it's free.

My point is shifting towards it from Apache.

and shifting to light speed over nginx?

TrK recommended both Memcached and Redis, but did say Redis was better. Noticed a few ms difference for the better with Redis. That's why I decided to stick with Redis. Might notice a hell lotta difference after large data is populated.

It will be fine believe me 🙂

Hope I don't run out of RAM

Download more..

This is always an option..... More ram up for download.....

dont blow through that bandwidth though downloading all that RAM! Good thing we got ours doubled

Use plugins.. go with the ecomsystem .. what they do you do.. for better tutorials and help later.

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

running it on vps?

Yup. Trying it on the Ryzen.

Ryzen works best for WordPress, i have seen amazing performance on Intel i9 as well.

No Intel i9 is gonna be pretty expensive and overkill for just WP.

You won't say when you decides to run woocommerce shop with thousands of products....

Oh yah. An i9 makes perfect sense in that case. What specs would you suggest for 1000s of products and a reciprocal number of orders and visits?

Atleast a redundant setup if not cluster, i9 is fast and with proper load balance and cdn it can easly handle lots of orders without any issues.

Thanks, what's the RAM like on yours?

My dedi? I don't own any I was trying to get KS-A though.... Meh I will just upgrade my home lab....

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.

I already have one.. in LA though.

Oh yah, the one you applied all your GA upgrades to. How's it?

4c, 5G at the moment. ITs good. .

That'd be a beast among VPSes now. You bought it last year right?

Its 3900x ryzen. If its 7950x , then it would be different.

Ok. 7950X is out of stock anyways. But, 3900X is pretty great as well. Wonder how the 9950X will perform.

9950x is just awesome. Seen some YABS in other threads. Those are insane

Providers already started providing it?

migh want to check if racknerd has it first. I'd stick with them, they are da bomb

Oh, completely forgot to add mine. Thanks for reminding.

I forgot mine. I have to post them in BF thread.

Post em here itself. It should be fine, Ig.

Sounds like dustin has your back either way!

As long as you are on a RackNerd thread, hyping the party, Dustin has your back and mine. I believe he considers the community his family. That could very well be his secret of success. Touch wood.

Obviously.. they need money. If something works.. why touch it breaking some and spoil the income?

The philosophy, if it works don't touch it

Wisdom words..

I followed that, until I didn't. But, never on production environment.

Its the mantra for production..

Who am I kidding, I even mess up things in production on my personal projects from time to time.

You have clients?

Yah, every 6 months or so, get a client.

Interesting, what other services you provide?

Proofreading, basic web designing, article writing and such.

You have some big portifolio.

Almost 0 clients though, and I am not even overqualified

but one every 6 months you said though right? atleast you are getting something. Everyone starts somewhere

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

Nah, most Indians are. So, it's good to have some cricket references handy.

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

Can you share the model number? Didn't know Asus had routers with stock OpenWrt running.

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..
