    Damn... yea not even gonna try for this laptop anymore... @TrK you are insane dude... its been like 48 hours or so and you have 1k+ comments

    Not the first time for him. he was playing it cool during BF cause he just wanted the iPad.

    That makes more sense now. I didnt recall the race being so close in the BF thread as it is now

    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.. :p

    The deal could have finalised..... Sed.... But let's see what I will do with 450 usd sitting on my RN account.

    You already converted? should've waited a little more?

    Don't have any money left to pay for greedy customs

    May be selling some vps/hosting?

    if you pick up a resller give away maybe you can spin up a temporary cheap service before you close the doors o:)

    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?

    For the blog, WordPress. No other frameworks, just plain old PHP.

    Is there really anything else out there beside word press? Im interested in alternatives that are actually viable

    Unfortunately though, for you, you will have more competition. Remember, harder the battle, sweeter the victory.

    Ha ha true that.

    Anyways, you got the caliber to get the gaming laptop.

    yeah xpress has shwon he is a worthy contendor for you i think. Lets see if it keeps up

    He only has to worry about TrK.

    We should worry more about silent killers.. :D :p

    silent killer ssuch as silly goose right?

    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?

    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.

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

    The worst was what Dell did to Alienware.

    yes rest in peace. May we never forget how they killed the once mighty company. Everyone used wot want alienware. Now nobody does

    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.

    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.

    Oh no.. don't come there. :o

    LOL! I was just talking about what I desire. Don't have the time to do that though. Moreover, PS5 games ain't cheap.

    true. The ps5 is going ot lead to a money sink whereas with the Lappy there is atleast so much you can do. With my telly i'd like to be ableto just sit and relax and turn into a potato for a while

    I need some advice on OpenWrt on my Netgear 7500v1

    Ooooh, HMU on Discord and I got you. I can't maintain a proper conversation on that topic here with all the noise.

    Go go go no openwrt for xpress

    Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

    Install transmission and do torrent

    Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

    I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

    ture, could have just beena doomed drive from the start as well!

    It's fine everything has it's own course of action we can do little to intervene in that

    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!

    LOL! Youa re right. The new design makes it look less threatening and scary :lol:

    BSOD is light heart attack anyway..

    yep everytime it shows up my heart skips a few beats

    "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.

    Framework laptop is good i approve 👍

    Would love to have one. personally used it before?

    Got someone I know using it, seems a rock solid choice if you want your device to stay with you for years to come.

    how long have they owned it at this point?

    Vvweb is a good one....

    Thats an alternative to work press? Does it hold its own or does it feel like its more inprogress? Hesitant to pick up something that is not fully developed and gets trashed

    Entirely possible depending on the amount of torrents running, they're extremely heavy in I/O operations. This is made worse by running it on a SOHO router.

    yeah thats what i was thinking too. If you have a nas an it NEeeds to be reliable.ITs not a bad idea to figure out how you can limit read and writes

    I think there are a few other options out there, but they’re not really practical. To get the kind of results you’re looking for, it’s probably best to have ChatGPT create something custom that’s more streamlined.

    Go go go no openwrt for xpress

    Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

    Install transmission and do torrent

    Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

    I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

    I thought it was due to constant RW activity of the transmission.. May be something else,

    Were you using torrent aggressively?

    It really depends on who is downloading from you in this case no? So you cant really control it too much aside from rate limiters but I think a 24/7 read access would do it plus what over writes for cahing go on at the same time to support the reads

    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?

    I honestly do.... Especially the OS......

    OS I agree.. its beautiful and functional. Hardware is good too. But they don't want us to own it.

    Hackintosh is the only way.......

    Will try on my new nitro.

    Doesn't work with nvidia cards 😂😂😂

    Inbuild gpu wont work for Hackintosh?

    Damn slow.... Slooooowwwwww.

    Then what other options one have?

    Get a pc with radeon GPU rx 560/570 or rx 6600 works great and reasonable prices.

    I'll have to remember that when it comes time to upgrade again. Not sure when that will be though

    And I need to hit the bank now out of money to even purchase a pack of biscuits

    UPI?

    Empty....... Like my wallet

    Then you mean hitting bank means robbery?

    Need to borrow some money from father

    Family for the win.. my dad supported me in lots of my difficult times, and still do <3

    Always, and he reminds me not to be arrogant or dependent on others prolly the reason I am easy going

    Love it.. we learn a lot from our fathers.. <3

    We sure do... And he is grumpy cause I didn't paid the bill yesterday....

    haha you get the gurmps as well when paying bbills? Sounds a bit like myself. Nobody likes enjoying bills. just a part of being adult

    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!

    LOL! Youa re right. The new design makes it look less threatening and scary :lol:

    BSOD is light heart attack anyway..

    Lighter than your better half returning to home without any prior notice.....

    Happened one time.. man.. i was like hiding all the stuff, beer and glasses. She found out anyway by the smell in room. :(

    oops! Next time you just know to hide it better!

    Damn... yea not even gonna try for this laptop anymore... @TrK you are insane dude... its been like 48 hours or so and you have 1k+ comments

    Not the first time for him. he was playing it cool during BF cause he just wanted the iPad.

    That makes more sense now. I didnt recall the race being so close in the BF thread as it is now

    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.. :p

    LOL! Overqualified curse.

    It's fine everything has it's own course of action we can do little to intervene in that

    was just joking.. you don't know about it at that time.

    I mean everything is destined me and you racking the numbers for the Nitro....

    True but to a certain extent you guys are setting your own destiny! one of you will have that laptop

    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?

    For the blog, WordPress. No other frameworks, just plain old PHP.

    Rocking wordpress.. kk. go.

    Vvweb is a good one....

    From my experience.. I don't suggest anything without a large ecosystem to newbies. After some time, it is fighting against the framework/cms instead of haivng what we want..

    Thats what my worry is. If it has a small ecosystem there is a good chance its just going to get abandoned in the future

    I do a lot of router mods, let me know if you ever need assistance.

    I need some advice on OpenWrt on my Netgear 7500v1

    Ooooh, HMU on Discord and I got you. I can't maintain a proper conversation on that topic here with all the noise.

    Go go go no openwrt for xpress

    Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

    Install transmission and do torrent

    Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

    I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

    Entirely possible depending on the amount of torrents running, they're extremely heavy in I/O operations. This is made worse by running it on a SOHO router.

    Sad then. I killed my drive and data with my own hands. :(

    It happens.. did you have it in raid 1? Is the dta just gone for good? Take it as a lesson and make sure you always have backups for your backsups.I started building out more backups for my home nas but its really expensive :/

  • BeniskickbuttBeniskickbutt Member

    Well.. what a day. Had some time off and it was a pleasure hanging out with you folks. I wll be back again soon. HopeI dont lose the telly in the mean time :( I know what you guys are capable of!
