    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.

    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.

    Oh yeah, similarly among phones, we have the Fairphone.

    Fair phone is good but I will stick to my current ones for now

    I'd love to get my hands on it though. but, the warranty is only applicable in the country of purchase, Ig.

    I don't know about that though I doubt you will require warranty for device crafted for long term reliability.

    yeah thats usually the catch. They expect it to fail after a certain amount of time and warranty always just falls short

    It's holiday season, have fun with your families too!

    Need to strke a healthy balance. But, for many, difficult to do with such awesome prizes in the balance.

    Yeah! The regret of missing out on such awesome life changing deals is just far too great

    Hells yeah. I'd prolly end up cursing myself for too long :lol:

    I stil l think about all the awesome flash sales and upgrades i missed :(

    Nothing is missed for a long time on RN thread. You always have the time to make up for everything by staying active.

    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.

    I'm here.

    Go for it then..

    Let's go go for it don't give up

    Anybody who gave up- too soon. Take xpress' example. Learn from him.

    yeah xpress has been on fire lately. Never give up, never surrender! Just like they say lots of plot twists ahead the coming month

    Oh yeah. The ranking table's gonna go for a ride.

    It looks almost completly different with each passing hour

    Oh yah, coup every hour.

    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?

    I'd snag some cheap second hand services if they're to my likings. :p

    Great. @TrK ?
    I should also start hosting then. I think I already have a potential customer here.. ;)

    I have a lineup of products ready to be published but I am stuck at finding a name for this one.

    Lets work on that as well.

    Sure but it will only happen on or after jan

    Yup, busy schedule we have..

    and to think this is only the first week as well right!? ha buckle up boys

    TrK got his sleep? Or going to sleep

    He slept?

    Most prolly. He is known to be a night owl.

    He didn't sleep the entire night.

    Yup, pulling an all-nighter is tough. Did that last year.

    you guys are crazy! I havent had an all nighter since i cant reemember when

    Oh yah, when awesome prizes hangin the balance, people would just jump in. That's how I began, though, I stayed for all the amazing stuff RackNerd was doing, to support them.

    Thats what ulitmately got me going and cuased me to join the site. Now Racknerd has gotten me to stay. Plus the large amount of info all over this site

    Oh yes, their blog is a good read as well.

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

    Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

    I would support this 100%! maybe we can have a community polling for the prizes!

    Oh yes, but, sometimes we forget that even rackNerd has a budget to work with. Having a hyper expensive laptop in the pool might affect the budget left for other prizes.

    True. Cant just give away the whole boat!

    Yup. I am already surprised by all they are doing for the community.

    Keep the pace up though. The beast might wake up anytime :lol:

    I think I noticed that TrK is back. You ahve aoken the beast!

    The beast never sleeps.

    He's on the lappy again?

    He's back in the race.

    yeah seems like he came back with a vengence

    Oh yeah, he's going for that laptop, with nothing to stop him !

    who do you think has best odds at this point? Trk or Xpress?

    I don't wanna take sides. Both being competitive hard working dudes, both of them in my opinion have similar chances as of today.

    COME HOME @FRANKZ!

    I echo this sentiment. We need @FrankZ to return! Hes been abesent too far long. Where has he gone?

    Prolly extremely busy around the X-Mas and holidays.

    True, many people have a lot of family time coming up now

    Yes, and then work..

    I have work even today. No holiday for us. :(

    Indian client?

    I am working at Indian company. :D

    Ahh makes sense. Most with US/EU based clients have a holiday today.

    Actually they decided to give the holiday on 31st instead, as per most employees request.

    Oh yah, most have New Year parties and hangovers to attend to.

    Sounds like the company is just being real. Might as well look good doing it.

    LOL! Hells yeah. I dunno how people go to work after a crazy New Year's eve

    Some people just dont go to crazy. I like to avoid all the action if i can

    Me as well. Maybe it's just the introvert in me talking.

    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.

    Might be but I doubt express was using transmission aggressively compared to myself.

    I was agressive. Have around 40-50 active torrents at that time.

    Bruh..... Seriously?

    Yup.. remember I've 3TB free space at that time.. :p

    wait the drive died with 3TB still free!? I remember this convo now! Thats terrible, the blue drivs right?

    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..

    Oh yeah, especially when you have something important going on.

    They happen only when we have important work.

    Oh yes. Interestingly, similar amount of work doesn't cause a kernel panic on Linux.

    dont talk about kernel panic! Makes me panic, bad ju ju

    Was just joking with xpress when he said, he would love to have Blazin's new Strix.

    everyone keeps talkin about blazins strix. its a hot commidity

    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.

    My favourite CMS. The customisability is what I love the most about them.

    Yup, and they have big ecosystem too. So good choice.

    Yup, a strong community means great plugins.

    Thats one benefit but justwant to help foster competition out there!

    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

    Reassembling it would be a challenge in itself. BTW, so kind of you to even consider it. At times, with Indian customs, it doesn't even matter, if it's used, broken or brand new.

    It would be quite the adventure though!

    Yah, hoping all the parts reach without damage.

    Just need to find A LOT of bubble wrap

    Yup, a hell lot of that.

    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. :(

    Is the drive actually dead? Or just the controller in the USB enclosure?

    Well, SMART showed errors, and then WD clodu showed drive error. And also if I put it in NAS bay, it is making some weird noises.

    I removed it and runninig with only 1 drive now.

    thats what i got on mine as well. Some smart errors and i was quick to replace. I have a drive on order that is super delayed
