I'll work on something different for now. Tomorrow I'll try to fix the issue.

That's exactly what I do too when an issue is too annoying. Believe it or not, it does work out for me, cause the next time I look at the issue, I am fresh and my mind actually starts working.

AGGGH SARA IS STARING AT PAGE 618

Should we dm her? Nah that would be too much

anything you can say to her, you can say to us all. unless you're offering your hand in marriage in which case it is a little more romantic with just the two of you.

Sara is almost 200 comments ahead of yangyang. Can yangyang beat her with just orders? The million dollar question. Blink and you will probably miss the moment. So, stay tuned!

it'll definitely cost him..

Yah, atleast $2000! But he still going strong.

not that bad if it work out. marketing is expensive and no better way that word to mouth.

Oh yes. But, these are prolly yangyang's affiliates.

I wonder if yangyang is a state actor? There is no way that this would be likely one person...

From what I have heard about China and ccp, it doesn't seem like a possibility which can be easily overlooked

That is why I thought to bring it up... not that I mean to insist that they really are but the thought has crossed my mind

Frankly, even I have considered the possibility when I learned that MJJs do snatch up a lot of servers. What could they be using it all for?

Petition to call them yangyangs now XD

Good choice. Someone recommended naming RackNerd's 1GB RAM plan yangyang

That would be kind of funny but we dont know if that is the plan they are buying XD

That's right. I didn't think of it as well. Everyone kinda assumed that they were going for the lowest plan since they have more than 700 orders at this point

I mean a state actor would not have a small budget likely... who knows my man

Yah. But, I am sure RackNerd and pretty much every host would have basic preventive measures to make sure their servers are not being used for illegal activities, right, especially against the state where the servers are based?

I mean we as humans have been known to overlook things by accident before... you never know!

Yah, but this seems to serious to be overlooked. And since Nsa has been known to spy I don't think they would let hostile state actors get away with it. I could be completely wrong though.

We may never know because neither YangYang nor dustin has said anything about it

ole yangyang doesn't give two hoots as long as all his bandwidths are doubled, troubled and doubled again

So I moved most of the things on my switch 2 to the internal drive, mostly the bigger games and ones I know I will play. So unless I download/get new games, I should be able to just swap the cards when my new one arrives and not care about anything left on it. Though I did read from nintendo themselves, I should be able to just use a computer and copy the files over since I'm not combining multiple cards or changing consoles.

That's convenient. BTW, upon connecting your Switch 2 to a pc, does it show up as an MTP device and ca you access folders not the root ones easily?

no, it's detected as a usb device but no storage is accessible. Windows, just hear the sound and linux, it detects but can't open/mount it and dmesg says

[1522772.139836] usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[1522772.162931] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=057e, idProduct=2060, bcdDevice= 1.00
[1522772.162935] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[1522772.162938] usb 2-2: Product: Nintendo Switch 2
[1522772.162940] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Nintendo
[1522772.162942] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: NOOB404

How about Linux? Can the partitions be mounted and accessed somehow?

I mentioned it detects the switch 2 but can't open anything, even posted the snippet from the kernel/dmesg in which I changed the serial to your name
No clue on macs yet but I'd guess it's the same thing

LOL I JUST NOW SAW THE SERIAL XD

Yeah, I doubt I would need to care if I didn't change it but it's habit to glance and edit it out. Like, if I didn't put noob404, I'd probably would have done abc123 or something generic

Noob404 was a fun choice though! And what purpose would it serve to blot it out? Its not like any of us here can claim you stole it XD

Noob404 has such a cringe name. It start d with my blog where I was planning to post tech articles for complete beginners. So, noob404 was meant to mean that noob was not found implying you read my blog you won't be a noob anymore.
Yuck!

it's not cringe, it's a part of you

The Last Server Move

Sarah Chen stared at her laptop screen, the blue glow illuminating her tired face at 2 AM. Her online boutique, which had started as a pandemic side project, was now buckling under unexpected traffic from a viral TikTok mention. The dreaded "Error Establishing Database Connection" message had become all too familiar.

"Third time this week," she muttered, refreshing the page fruitlessly. Her current budget hosting provider's support ticket response was their standard: "Consider upgrading to our business plan for $49.99/month." As a bootstrapped entrepreneur, she needed a better solution.

That's when she remembered a Reddit thread where multiple users praised RackNerd's affordable VPS options. Scrolling through their website, she was surprised to see plans starting at just $12.98/year for shared hosting, with VPS options that wouldn't break the bank. The promise of free website migration and 24/7 support sounded too good to be true.

Taking a leap of faith, Sarah chose their "Budget VPS" package. Within minutes of payment, she received her login credentials and found herself staring at a clean, intuitive control panel. The one-click WordPress installation made setting up her site remarkably simple, and the free SSL certificate gave her an immediate SEO boost.

The real test came two weeks later when another influencer featured her handmade jewelry. Sarah held her breath as her traffic spiked to 5,000 concurrent users – but unlike before, her site remained stable and responsive. The NVMe SSD storage and optimized LiteSpeed server were handling the load effortlessly.

As her business grew, so did her technical needs. She upgraded to a managed VPS, appreciating how RackNerd's support team handled server maintenance and security patches. The included DDoS protection gave her peace of mind during high-traffic sales events.

What impressed Sarah most was the community around RackNerd. Their active thread was filled with helpful users and company representatives who provided quick, knowledgeable support. When she needed to set up a custom email server for her growing team, she found detailed tutorials and community members willing to help.

Nine months into using RackNerd, Sarah's business had outgrown even her upgraded VPS. It was time to consider a dedicated server. Nervous about the cost and complexity, she was pleasantly surprised by RackNerd's transparent pricing and managed options. Their sales team helped her choose a configuration that balanced power with affordability.

The migration to her new dedicated server was seamless. RackNerd's support team handled the entire process, minimizing downtime to just 15 minutes during off-peak hours. The raw power of having dedicated resources meant her site loaded in under a second, and she could finally implement the advanced features she'd been wanting to add.

During Black Friday, as her site handled more traffic than ever before, Sarah received an alert about unusual activity. Her heart sank – was she being hacked? Within minutes of submitting a ticket, RackNerd's security team responded. It was a false alarm, but their swift response and thorough explanation of the security measures in place reassured her.

As her first year with RackNerd came to a close, Sarah realized how much had changed. Her side hustle had become a thriving business with three employees, and her hosting costs had remained reasonable despite scaling up multiple times. The constant stress of server issues was gone, replaced by confidence in her infrastructure.

One evening, as she was preparing for another major product launch, Sarah noticed her server resources were maxing out. Before she could panic, she received an email from RackNerd's monitoring team suggesting optimization tweaks and offering to help implement them. This proactive approach had saved her multiple times before.

The launch was a massive success, with her site handling over 50,000 visitors in 24 hours without a hitch. As Sarah celebrated with her team, she reflected on her hosting journey – from constant downtime to seamless scalability, all thanks to finding the right provider.

These days, Sarah pays it forward by recommending RackNerd to other entrepreneurs. She's become an active member of their community, sharing her experiences and helping newcomers navigate their hosting journey. What started as a desperate search for reliable hosting had turned into a partnership that supported her business's growth every step of the way.

Looking at her server dashboard one quiet evening, Sarah smiled. The days of 2 AM panic were long gone, replaced by the quiet hum of a well-oiled machine – both her business and the servers that powered it. For the first time since starting her company, her hosting was the one thing she didn't have to worry about.

And as she prepared to launch her latest collection, Sarah knew that no matter how much her business grew, RackNerd would be there to support it – one server at a time.

The end.

Cut it with the ai already!

Can't completely blame her though. Me and Ben only noticed people were pissed off at us after about 2 hours of posting on that day. DMing is an option. But, that might be considered overdoing it especially if I do it since everyone would just think i am selfishly trying to secure my position

Never gonna happen. The BF megathread has won.

Obviously.

i don't think so. judging by prev years it'll either disappear or be locked soon, which means RN thread wins.

Usually yes, but this year it's got cock drawing competitions, so it might last a bit longer. Or they'll migrate to the purple thread.

Nah, gotta have a dedicated cock drawing thread. That would be a first! Also man boobs!

I swear, all you women ever think about is man boobs...

BTW i dunno.. in my head, man boobs are a bad thing.. PECK - those are grrrrreat! man boobs are sweaty and fat..

Gynecomastia is actually a health concern in men, esp. if it's due to low testosterone levels.

I think I'm just fat. Also a health concern, just a different one.

quite often sounds outright hilarious to me thou.. but i like watching me some British show or movie.. sometimes with subtitles tho..

it's funny how songs always sound same, have you noticed? no matter a Brit signs or a Yankee - same sounding, i am talking you know, classics, ballads and stuff. i am sure rap may sound different.

Yeahz really like Brit movies and series. Cracking me up. Also luv Brit music. Lot of britpop in my prime. Have thousands of CDs and records from back then.

I love Brit comedy as well, i.e., their brand of comedy - Monty Python, Mr. Bean, etc,

I think crypto is legal here, yeah.
But paypal would be soo much easier to use

Yes, PayPal though more convenient, does come with caveats such as this. You might be able to clear up the confusion on phone. They might ask you for identification and some documents.

They suspended my account after I gave my identification

Ohw... That sucks... Used a vpn?

Nope. I don't use vpns

oh, that might sometimes pull a flag hence I was asking.

don't pull someone's flag, it's very disrespectful
