I completely forgot about my first flashing experience. It was with Nokia 5130 Xpress Music.. I liked that mobile very much due to its sound quality. My username in most of the forums is xpress something, because of this mobile.

But this symbian phone (s60 iirc)) had some issues with firmware. So the OS keeps corrupting, and I had to reflash the original firmware again and again in few weeks. There was some software on windows for the flashing.

Woah... What an inspiration behind the name!!
It couldve been 'the flash' too
Where are you located?
Which service do you have from racknerd?

Ha ha. Didn't think of that. Xpress with an X.. In those days I created lots of avatars with just X, lol..

I live in AP bro. Coming to Racknerd, I have 2 or 3 giveaways VPSs.. Active using one in AMS. That has the least ping to India.

I got three giveaways in the first thread, where #racknerdgang was started. Gave them all away to others who probably needed it more than me.

Thats when it a started.

I Bought a service in AMS. Dustinc was kind enough to make it a frankenstein with one ryzen giveaway and now it has 3 vcores, 3.5gb RAM, 95 gb disk.

And it runs like a blast. Im keeping it for the lifetime, ☺️

You run websites on that VPS? Is there a big difference in performance between these E5s and Ryzon? Never used a ryzen...

Nope. I dont run any wesites on it. I got one ryzen on giveaway and asked it to be merged to existing plan. So i dont have any ryzen cores. It generally idles, sometimes i RDP into it for kicks. Or rsync stuff.

For hosting websites, i have a shared hosting plan 100GB for 10$ a year with racknerd. Use it for running managed mail services/park my domains.

Ha ha.. powerful idling VPS.. sounds familiar. 😎

Its not particularly idle for the most time :-P what do you use your server for?

P.S i also use my shared hosting as a strictly personal nextcloud instance for storage, uptil now, it has no issues.

I use my VPS for websites. I set up a nginx server with, php and mysql. And host the websites I develop. Low traffic ones , though.

Lemp stack, i see.

My two latest builds (for the gamers in the house). What would you change?

PSU: EVGA Supernova 1600W, 220-GP-1600-X1

This is so much overkill here, you're going going to be at such a low load most of the time and that means being in one of the least-efficient ranges. I don't see anything that would come close to needing 1600w here, did you just have this laying around or have a particular reason for wanting that much power? If we're just wishlisting I would've gone with a 1000w, probably a titanium rated one.

Hi @bakageta -- great catch! I can be a bit unique when it comes to overkill 😂 A lot of the build is overkill for what I'm doing, including the RAM. I could get away with 32GB and be more than fine. I did tone down the build on the home PC, including the PSU but even then the build is overkill.

The only reason why I went with the 5950X at home was because the 5900X were out of stock with my vendor and there was no particular ETA. The hardware market has been crazy. I most recently bought my brother his gaming PC and just to get everything for the build was ~ 1 month which is insane, but it's the reality of the market today.

And here I'm who always runs out of RAM....

Hahaha! Count me in, let's upgrade some of your RAM.

Let me know what's needed.

wow... Thats soooo nice of you @dustinc . Thnak you. You are real Santa..

Hi @xpress7 -- anytime! Love helping where possible.

Send me a DM, and we'll get it taken care of.

240Hz monitors? You play a lot of FPS games @dustinc ?

The only game I play (for now that is) Warzone -- and the graphics, FPS are pretty good with these builds. I had https://sensequality.com/ work his optimization magic.

Holy shit, I do not charge enough for what I do.

Get in on it! Tons of opportunity.

I love optimization and I sometimes even do it for free. I can get a Core 2 Quad and a Radeon 4000 series on an Intel mobo built in '06 playing games from 2016 and made an R6300v2 Netgear that is probably 10 years old now outperform a new Nighthawk so damn well my buddy returned it for the few hundred he spent on it.

I mean, spec wise? No I can't beat spendy hardware, but I can do some interesting things with what others consider to be useless.

Its just a challenge I enjoy taking on.

We can do wonders when our budget is very tight, right... 😜

Exactly. When money is tight, we do what we can with what we have.

I like breathing new life into old gear, but yeah it was born from necessity originally lol

Me too.. I like tinkering the with old hardware as well. I love flashing new firmware from xda in my old mobiles.

Recently started tinkering with routers too.. Flashed openwrt in my Nighthawk 7500 .. So far good..

I like flashing too...

....new roms, you dirty mind!

When did you started flashing?

A little earlier than you. Motorola defy red lens was my second phone... Waterproof, great battery life, indestructable build quality...

First was samsung galaxy ace... I did all sorts of experiments upon it ..

Galaxy ace have ROMs too? 😲

Ha ha that waterproof thing. The best in the phone. I used to clean my phone at tap, and my friends got panic.. My best phone ever. And that red lens green lens discussion on xda... I flashed the wrong rom what to do questions... 😝

oh yes... i used to dip it in water glass to win a bet often

i wish something as innovative would come these days... and yes... red lens was actually a defy plus with some things disabled from the chipset... flashing red lens roms would enable HD recordings and unlocked the camera... good o'l days...

Ha ha. good old days indeed. Flashing was so much fun. Now with GBs and GBs of important data, can't even thinking of flashing..

That defy was the best phone I ever had. I got a lg g8x last year. I tried that waterproof adventure thing on this phone, and my power button didn't work for 3 days. 😝

Roflmao...
Yes... Gbs of important data... Back then SD cards ruled the world... All important mp3 songs/photos and what not on it...

Crashed the phone? Put the card in the new phone and enjoy!

I got a redmi k20 pro in 2019 august. It has to be the first time i have bought a flagship and honestly, the benefits clearly outrun the costs. Its a decent phone and i think it can help me with one more year at the very least.

Or till @dustinc plans to give away an iphone 13 max pro

Ha ha. You won't leave @dustinc until he gives you something..

K20 is good device. I used Poco F1 before getting this G8X. F1 is such a wonderful developer friendly device. Flashed lots of ROMs intlo. No worry about bricking. These phones are real flagship killers.

Yes k20 was supposed to be a successor to f1. I actually ordered and cancelled the F1. K20 was overpriced, but i still bit the bullet. It was the flagship xiaomi phone.

I have been very lucky with mi phones, they are definitely built to last. I had redmi 1s, the first phone to launch in our country. It still powered up and worked after 7 years :-l .

I do itch for an upgrade sometimes, but its more like based out of greed than necessity. So i defer it for a year, not much has actually changed in the tehnology landscape except faster charging and higher refresh rate.

And i wont leave dustinc till he gives me all the goodies 👿👿👿

You have the strength to resist! I need to do this when the new iPhone comes out

Maybe we can ask @dustinc For a DSLR giveaway?

I thought Dustin doesn't sleep

He's probably just gaming on his slick gaming rig

He probably cuddles that gaming rig at night, I mean, I would. Wouldn't you?

...Oh wait, maybe static electricity and drool would be bad.

Cuddle it with a water tight antistatic case!

I can usually be found cuddling with them! They absorb most of my time 😁

Wow.. whats that bro.. post pics.

I'm way too excited about this. Haha
Way cool!

That's awesome! So happy you obtained some swag. P.S lucky person you are!
Those backpacks are extremely rare these days, we struggle to obtain them.

Most recently we had to switch to SwissGear backpacks due to limited North Face inventory. Today the SwissGear backpacks arrive, we'll see how good they are.

@BlazinDimes pics are awesome, enjoy your swag and new computing power

The ol' reliable home server I use for Plex and home automation is going to be pleased with the bump in multithreading. Its almost 10 years old so this will be better than the i3. Surprised the mobo supports a Xeon as its a mid-range Asus desktop board from 2012ish? But there was 3 on the list of supported CPUs and I jokingly brought that up to @dustinc in the Black Friday thread, lo and behold he hooked it up after some overwhelming community support. That was so cool.

You might be happy, and though you may not realize it, I'm equally as happy! Win win situation.

One of my guys has a Mercedes GLE 53 COUPE AMG - sounds pretty aggressive stock, and has plenty of room. Nicely done interior wise too.
