    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.

    Not good for health though. Did it couple of days last year on some project. Got sick after few days.

    Yah, at times you get so damn used to it, that you become delusional about it being perfectly healthy. Most of the times, it's not.

    Can never achive perfectly healthy. Again all about finding the right balance

    Yah, health has become a relative term in this era.

    true. and bodies are made to fail quite literaly, just need to post post as much as you can

    Yah, do it as long as your body and mind co-operate.

    Get a game like GTA 5 if you plan on playing a game for a long time. Since it has a huge map and everything, should keep you satisfied for atelast an year, if you don't spend a major portion of the day just for it.

    Will think of it, based on what I win. But I'll definitely buy the Witcher one.. or Red Dead may be if witcher 4 getting too late.

    why not just go for both! Wait for a deal or buy used

    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.

    Am i that much behind? :o

    No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

    He's a professional at this, so he knows slow and steady wins the race.

    Absolutely. Consistency is key if you want the first prize.

    Consistency and drive and a desire to put in the hard work!

    Yah, I am trying to find it right now in my life.

    i say it seems like you got it figured out. Sounds like you have your head on straight from all i have heard from you

    Nah, I am just slowly yet unsteadily getting there,

    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. :(

    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.

    Ah, if you tried it outside of the enclosure you can rule out the controller. Bummer.

    maybe try another? One time i was able to plug into a pc and it "fixed" the drive somehow, never happened again though. One off chance

    Xpress working as well in competition?

    Yup, dude's slowly mastering multi-tasking.

    what else is he working on at the same time?

    His 9-5 job, he's currently working from home.

    ah got it. Hes very fortuante to have such a setup like that

    Yah, he is. But, he's not sure if he can have WFH for the next thread as well. That's why he wants to go all in this time itself.

    Alright, or as someone else recommended, just get PS Plus sub.

    I think xpress would look good wioth a shiny laptop. Hes the one that has a way to get it home as well right? You can have mine if i win xpress and i'll tv swap

    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.

    I wish first 5 gifts are laptops with different configs this year.. everybody wins a laptop. :p

    Interesting. That would mean, the configs have to be lowered a bit. But, it'd guarantee more laptop winners.

    maybe you can get different tiers of CPU, or perhaps ram. RAM would be more ideal as you can always put it back unless its soldered

    Yah, maybe 3X Framework laptops. This way each winner can modify it according to their needs.

    that would be a pretty neat concept but its still not a telly! haha

    Yah, true that. Maybe we should just let Dustin do it, cause, he does it pretty well imo.

    This most probably means an issue with the little hand like things that actually read the data on the platter. Sometimes, replacing them fix the issue, at other times, you might actually have to replace the BIOS chip and write the old data to this one.

    Maybe formatting can do something? Give a clean wipe to all sectors?

    Should I do that...

    Man I'm fearing some red pfp's coming.. our thread now seems like bot activity with continous posts replying to each and every comments

    I am not doing any bot activity 😜

    Hehehehehe, but there can only be one

    No, he meant more laptops in the prize pool.

    What about we do multiple TVs instead of laptops! :)

    That as well sounds nice actually, since TVs have gotten much cheaper. Infact, you could get 2 TVs at the price of the current Nitro laptop.

    If i had money to spare i'd go for 2 ;)

    What TV do you own rn?

    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..

    I mean I am just lazy and have two projects pending....

    I am different kind of lazy then.

    hey it gets to us all. No worries. I have infinite projects as well

    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

    Yah, soldering on laptop motherboards is not for the faint-hearted or inexperienced.

    Guarenteed i would wreeck it on my first few attempts

    Me as well. Too many tiny components.

    Our customs still charge on it may be. They do unexpected things. :D

    Yup, they might even charge it as a new product.

    even if its clearly used? Put some mud on it?

    You can't be 100% confident anytime with Indian customs.

    why do you say that? Bad expereiences in the past?

    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.

    Linux kernel is solid..

    yeah panics are rare but when they do happen.. you know you are in trouble

    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.

    It is.. thats the main strong point of wordpress. There is millions of busines around it..

    just like python. Everything you need is already there and then some
