    blazinhost coming in summer...........

    Blazinservers sounds better, or even blazinspeed

    Help me come up with a name!

    My username is from way back, seems kinda silly now but hey I was a teenager, and now I just keep it for consistency.

    Do you want "host" in the name?

    I'm not even sure yet, haven't gotten anywhere near that point but I suppose having a name ahead of time would be good.

    How do you plan to sell shared hosting amidst such low prices?

    May be friends and local community?

    That's the best approach to begin reseller business.

    How was your Christmas everyone?

    Completed the debugging of my projects

    Seems like a good use of christmas!

    I think so as well.

    So ready to launch mystery?

    A lil bit of debugging left. On it right now.

    Backend? what languages you are using?

    PHP, always. Too dumb to go for Python.

    Php is great for web. I use it for work.

    What framework/cms you are using?

    Codeigniter ? 😂😂😂

    A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

    And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

    Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

    Ah thats a good point. I've seen some flash sales of "junk" that i presume comes from similar scenarios. If they are in good working order.. that could have been quite a good deal if they were able to quickly flip them when the tech was still good

    Unfortunately, in most cases, you are not allowed to check their working condition. So, it's luck-based I guess.

    Do I also see a few ancient GPUs towards the bottom right?

    Good eye, yes you do. :p

    I think I saw one of my ancient GPUs there. I wasn't very tech savvy back then, but, loved seeing these circuit boards.

    The keyboards look really cool too. Almost like a wall for your senses or something. Would feel need to run your hand over all the keys if they still worked

    LOL! Yah, there's something to these antiques.

    xpress7 is cataching up to TrK let's see what happens

    You and I are closer to him in the rankings.

    I will catch up, after you all sleep. :p

    I'm not sleeping not for a few days

    LOL! I dunno whether to encourage you or tell you about the bad effects of losing sleep. :lol:

    Let him learn on his own.... :p

    Right. Experience is the best teacher.

    Yes.. He is a great teacher.. He taught me so many life lesssons.

    more than you better half?

    She is his daughter. :D

    you know what i am laughing like crazy on this one :joy:

    🤣🤣

    Oh man, I missed this gem. I am gonna screenshot this for later !

    Wait im lost, who is whos daughter!? Whaat

    He was teasing his wife saying, experience is the teacher and his wife is experience's daughter personified.

    Now I understand. Thanks

    Yah, being a married man makes him qualified to throw around jokes related to marriage and wives.

    As long as my wife doesn't see them. :p

    You pray for that. :lol:

    Shutting down the laptop works. :D

    Temporarily, might I add. Pretty sure, it's tough for you to stay away from the laptop this RackNerd season.

    True. Should open laptop to win laptop.

    If you need it you have to get it

    More like, grip it out of TrK's hands at this point. :lol:

    I dont think that is going to happen for anyone any time soon! TrK has got a grip on this thing and has it figured out. Its going to be tough to take it from his hands after he worked so hard for it

    Yah, need someone crazier than TrK. I guess, xpress7 is crazy for that laptop as well.

    Thanked by 1TrK

    Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

    HP Pavillion.. now that sounds like a throwback. Making me feel old when i hear the words HP echoed now. My how the mightly have fallen. I think its case of them getting complacent.

    Yah, they have gone down a lot.

    Pardon me for the error. Snatch is the proper word here.

    Its ok, no need to apologize! We all make mistakes and it was very easy to understand what you were getting at! Context can do a lot to help our brains function and stay on track

    Chances to better my vocab I guess. There's a lesson in every experience.

    Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop? :p

    Babe its to gift our beloved xpress. B)

    :D

    You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix. :p

    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? :p

    Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare. :'(

    It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

    As long as there is no soldering, that would make it way easier

    I'll never buy something with soldered ram

    MacBook? Mac mini? 😂😂😂

    Nope. Thats why I prefer a PC. Most developers I've seen like the MacBook pro though. I do like the looks of it. But non upgradability is meh for me.

    It's upgradable if you get the right tools, right replacement chips and a sure fire way to temper with OS core....

    I think someone who has to work to earn, and spending on MacBook to work, will not have that much time to put that effort. :p

    That's why we see more macs in garbage dump.....

    Thats how Apple earns money.. selling new, dumping old.

    Capitalism at it's peak....

    You like Macs?

    Lost the trust with no innovation and high prices, lack of after sales service and it went down the drain.

    Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    I hadnt heard about its thermal management but HP really knew what they were doing back in the day. Its shame where they went

    Yup. Dell too had great thermal management. But, we all know what theya re doing nowadays.

    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.. :p

    Remember the application - SpeedumyPC and bviously, RAM Downloader?!! :lol:

    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.

    :lol: 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!

    BSOD innovation. B)

    Exactly. It's a $850 item. You gotta be able to put in some hard work for that.

    Oh snap, i didnt even look at the value! That is really generous of racknerd and dustin to do this. No wonder its such a hot giveaway

    Yup. It's also the first time that an i& laptop is up for grabs.

    Indeed! Let's get the racknerd price

    I don't have a set prize in mind, as of now. Just hyping the thread up for as long as I can, and then gonna flow with the course.

    Despite not having a set prize in mind, if there was any one you could choose with no contest, which would it be?

    Frankly, the PS5. Being interested in the PS4 Linux scene, a PS5 is something that I've wanted for quite some time now.

    That way, you know exactly how much work you have to put in.

    Yep! And thanks to the community its easy to tell what prize you are currently landing on. Provides some good transparency to the process at the same time

    Yah, thanks to MrEd as well for his stats page.

    The master strikes again.

    xpress is a crazy fast robot

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

    and a fast internet connection :joy:

    My connection is 25mbps 🤣

    I'm using a 500mbps connection in the US. Dang, I must be getting rusty in my old age! :p

    You were away all these days.. You'll beat all of us in no time after few more..

    True. @dustinc has some new methods too that I wasn't expecting for the GAs, but they're very effective against bots and OCR, so I can appreciate it. I'm just here for the thrill though. And that sweet sweet merch.

    Thats true. Its keeping bots away.

    I remeber the days with bots. And sometimes bots failing with wrong text. 🤣🤣

    Beating those bots is what made me so fast back then. :D

    Bots? You guys used bots back in the day?

    Not us. We fought against them and still won some giveaways. B)

    In the before times, we battled Skynet, and won.

    Where?

    skynet you forgot? you don't read comics?

    I watched in movies.

    Thats from terminator right? All of them? or is it only featured in some

    Yup.. Don't remember deatils though. Have to rewatch them again

    A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

    And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

    Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

    They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

    Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

    They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

    Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021 :D

    Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

    Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

    I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

    I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

    Yeah it seems with every iteration things change ever so slightly with everything from cpus, to cars, to laptops, to pc. hard to keep track of what year is what sometimes and what can be reliable

    Exactly. I guess it's the time for newer startups like Framework to shine.

    It's always good that racknerd takes care of community and gives back

    That's what they are known for, apart from the cheap prices and exceptionally fast support.

    Those are probably the top 3 things I have noticed about racknerd so far.
    1) Fair Price
    2) Kick Butt Support
    3) The community

    That summarises it very well.

    I'm gonna take a break as these comments are flying in so fast it's legitimately overstimulating. :D

    Take a break bro. I remember you haven't slept last night because of personal thing.

    Likely why I am easily overstimmed, on duty tonight too.

    Tonight too? how do you manage?

    Like I do...... Who needs sleep anyways....

    Don't want to talk about it, but he have health issues, and immune deseases get worse without sleep. Thats why I'm worried.

    Well it's manageable if it's occasionally..... But continuously doing that is not good.....

    May be. He doesn't like to talk about it in the festive mood anyway. So its conversation for another time.

    Let's move forward, so how's been things at home? Especially with the daughter of Mr experience....

    She scolded me yesterday for spending lots of time on LET and neglecting work. :(

    Tell me something new 😁😁😁

    Well scolding me is routine , so no surprise there. :D

    You have already talked about her scolding you......

    It happens daily.. so.. :(

    Lol, noob should get married soon so you guys can share these sentiments together....

    You don't want to join the party? :D

    I believe we will drastically go inactive after holidays

    I for some reason, don't think so.

    Yeah I would have to back up noob here based on some quick observations

    LOL! You can get the TV. I am pretty confident.

    @TrK has hit 1K comments. Congrats!!

    Congrats @TrK! truely an achievement to be proud of!

    Just another walk in the park for him.

    He's gonna be at 1st he said it, he'll do it

    I have no doubts.

    He deserves the laptop for his hardwork

    SO does anyone who's ready to put the work in. As I say, may the best man win.

    I'll say it again over and over. I am ok without the laptop! I would like that tv ;) You guys and your battle for the top is making it tough! one day i'll make it though. I must not give up my hopes and dreams for they are all i have to keep me going

    That's the RackNerd spirit of never giving it up. Believe me, you could get the TV. We are just 2+ days into the competition.> @Beniskickbutt said:

    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.

    Yeah TrK is approaching this one with an all hands on deck approach. Clearly has his game face on and it shows. Truely a force to be reckoned with. Excited to see how this one endsup

    Pretty sure either TrK or xpress will go home with the laptop.

    May your words come true..

    TrK still in the shadows?

    That dude pulled an all-nighter if I am not wrong. Well-deserved rest.

    Not wrong! I think it may have been an all-nighter or 2 even. This man was on fire and needs no sleep. Hes a lean mean rack nerd eating machine

    Oh yes, that he is.
