    Seems the competition for the laptop is only gonna intensify in the coming weeks. Currently, @TrK and @xpress7 are involved in a bloody battle to get their hands on it. And, that's only the ones who have revealed their intentions. Pretty sure there are secret admirers as well.

    Thats true. We have to keep up our game.

    He's an OG, and has some practice. :D

    and a fast internet connection :joy:

    I too am an OG, with high end hardware and a fast connection, but @xpress7 is a force to be reckoned with. :p

    Imagine what I could do with the latest laptop RN is giving? More reasons to get the latest lapppy. :D

    Xpress, show us your true form.

    You mean I am in disguise?

    No, you are holding back.

    I am pumped up now.. B)

    Need more of a pump than that, go, dude!

    That's prolly what Silly is gunning for. Not sure cause he hasn't yet revealed his intentions.

  • noob404noob404 Member

    I'd love the PS5 as well, but, really can't afford the games. The 4K Webcam sounds nice as well.

    I already tried to passup. Seems everyone is busy.

    Might have to start a new thread for it, Ig.

    There is mega thread .. but don't want to post there. Here is the best chance. May be we try tomorrow.

    Someone's gotta break up this spam a bit.
    @dustinc can I get some more data transfer on invoice 5167765515?

    I also (of course) ran yabs.

    Here is the what a 2G looks like in NY.

    Basic System Information:

    Uptime : 0 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes
    Processor : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
    CPU cores : 1 @ 2999.998 MHz
    AES-NI : ✔ Enabled
    VM-x/AMD-V : ❌ Disabled
    RAM : 1.9 GiB
    Swap : 3.0 GiB
    Disk : 38.3 GiB
    Distro : Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
    Kernel : 6.1.0-9-amd64
    VM Type : KVM
    IPv4/IPv6 : ✔ Online / ❌ Offline

    It came preinstalled with almalinux. Probably alphabetically chosen. I am more familiar with debian. No hiccups during reinstallation.

    IPv4 Network Information:

    ISP : HostPapa
    ASN : AS36352 HostPapa
    Host : RackNerd LLC
    Location : Buffalo, New York (NY)
    Country : United States

    The disk performance isn't great, but is probably due in part to everyone hammering the disk with yabs and installs, but not what I expect from SSD.

    fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50) (Partition /dev/vda1):

    Block Size 4k (IOPS) 64k (IOPS)
    Read 65.15 MB/s (16.2k) 238.33 MB/s (3.7k)
    Write 65.28 MB/s (16.3k) 239.59 MB/s (3.7k)
    Total 130.43 MB/s (32.6k) 477.92 MB/s (7.4k)
    Block Size 512k (IOPS) 1m (IOPS)
    ------ --- ---- ---- ----
    Read 269.43 MB/s (526) 377.10 MB/s (368)
    Write 283.75 MB/s (554) 402.21 MB/s (392)
    Total 553.19 MB/s (1.0k) 779.31 MB/s (760)

    It looks like 1G port is performing as intended.

    iperf3 Network Speed Tests (IPv4):

    Provider | Location (Link) | Send Speed | Recv Speed

    The cpu performance seems to be dragging just a little bit. One might assume this is normal as the node populates.

    Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test:

    Test | Value
    |
    Single Core | 428
    Multi Core | 438
    Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/9606302
    YABS completed in 29 min 3 sec

    The CPU is a Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 with an expected single core score of 589, a difference of roughly 25% lower than hoped for. I wouldn't brag about it but at this time of year I don't think it's a cause for alarm.

    What does concern me though is that the CPU has reached the EOL and is no longer receiving patches or updates. I couldn't in good conscience recommend this as a production server.

    I won this VPS during the first giveaway in this thread. I just happened to log in at the right time before any bots woke up. A big thanks to dustin and the community at large for making these giveaways something to come back for year after year. I would certainly never complain about a gift. Its wonderful and I appreciate it, but the aged CPU is a relic that deserves a distinguished retirement behind a LAN and is of limited usefulness to me.

    If it were possible to move me to a node with a CPU that is current through 2025 that would great. If that is not possible I ask that you give this prize back to the pool for someone else who will enjoy it more.

    TL;DR

    Double bandwidth.
    Old cpu

    Ain't no party like a racknerd party.

    Regards,

    Hi @fitkoh -- bandwidth has been doubled for Order #5167765515 at this time :)

    P.S. Just sent you a DM so that we can work to resolve the other concerns to your satisfaction :)

    Thanked by 1xpress7

    Oh man, today's been extremely busy. Each time I think the bugs are done with, new ones pop up without any warning. Anyways, real close to launching my mini project within the enxt few days.

    Nice.. let the mystery unfolds..

    It's still a mystery how it happens. Everything works fine locally and as soon as you upload it, bugs pop outta nowhere. Mind you, I use a Docker container specifically to maintain as much similarity to the server as possible. But, it still does.

    Thats the purpose of the docker. It works.

    Once RackNerd threads start, 99.9% of the time, I don't browse to any other threads. It's become a habit I am proud of.
