TrK recommended both Memcached and Redis, but did say Redis was better. Noticed a few ms difference for the better with Redis. That's why I decided to stick with Redis. Might notice a hell lotta difference after large data is populated.

Redis is better.

Yah, just realising that as my data increases.

Is it just working better with capacity or variety of data?

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.

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

Will definitely think , but first I have to win.. lots of time left..

Yah, go for it. Mind if I go for the PS5 btw?

Oh noo.. if i don't get lappy, then i will settle for PS5.. don't come between pls.. 🥹

Alright. I am just gonna go with the flow.

You said you won't come after us..

Here is the deal, if you get PS5 give it to me, and I'll give credits of whatever I win. I am planning to get the item throuh one of the known in US, if I win.

Oh, I see. I only promised DaDev and the others that I won't go for the laptop.

You said you won't go after anything at all. and will be busy..

You said that as well. I was talking about the scenario where you and I both become inactive after Dec 31 and the rankings stagnate. Only in that odd rare scenario do I have the hope of being in top 5.

Ha ha. Lets see how it unfolds anyway.

I am more like will be will till 31st Dec. In the new year, i will get some free time I think atleast for one or two weeks may be.

Then, you are in a position to make the jump for the laptop itself.

i'll be rooting for you xpress! Would be happy to see someone actually take the physical item home!

xpress7 · December 2024

Hmm 360 pages..

True that. Love to keep the hype and the competition up here, whenever I can.

competiton fosters growth! Noob has grown even stronger from the last thrread X)

BTW, I am loving the RackNerd Ryzen VPS. Coming from older Intel Xeons, this is a definite upgrade for me. The core usage doesn't go above 1% most of the time. First time I am seeing that. Would recommend the Ryzens for anyone looking for some raw power.

I already have one.. in LA though.

Oh yah, the one you applied all your GA upgrades to. How's it?

4c, 5G at the moment. ITs good. .

That'd be a beast among VPSes now. You bought it last year right?

Its 3900x ryzen. If its 7950x , then it would be different.

so is this a dedicated physical core you have?

Ha ha.. I think we won't have any giveaways until some hours may be.

Yeah second this...

Yup, I think we will get one more in the afternoon. Anyway we got plenty of time.

That we do. Let's hope for the best.

I really wish the sweaters have international shipping. Missed that. What did you do? converted?

Yeah 😅😅😅 you know me well enough 😂

What other option we have. So you must be richest after noob in our racknerd gang.

Well don't know about that so can't say much 😜

Oh come on. No tax department here. how much you have?

Currently it's sitting a solid $40 in my RN account.

What? you've hidden the arcade machine price here.

Well it's under talks....

Oh k. I thought the doors closed, as you didn't mention anything about that agian. All the best for you then.

I doubt it will go other way than credits

I mean, discussing with dustin?

Yeah with him only who else?

I thought Frobsy

The deal broke down sed 😂

He's gonna ship it to Algeria? Or, credits?

Is that where tRk is located?

Should I just use Redis Object Cache plugin for WordPress, or should I manually setup Redis for Wordpress?

Use plugins.. go with the ecomsystem .. what they do you do.. for better tutorials and help later.

Yah, just completed setup. Some weird permission error was blocking it. Fixed now.

running it on vps?

Yup. Trying it on the Ryzen.

Ryzen works best for WordPress, i have seen amazing performance on Intel i9 as well.

No Intel i9 is gonna be pretty expensive and overkill for just WP.

You won't say when you decides to run woocommerce shop with thousands of products....

Oh yah. An i9 makes perfect sense in that case. What specs would you suggest for 1000s of products and a reciprocal number of orders and visits?

Atleast a redundant setup if not cluster, i9 is fast and with proper load balance and cdn it can easly handle lots of orders without any issues.

yeah thats true. it just seemed like over kill origianlly but it really depends on what you are using it for.

Ok. 7950X is out of stock anyways. But, 3900X is pretty great as well. Wonder how the 9950X will perform.

just out of stock from racknerd you mean right? I still see the cpus for sale but they arent cheap

The M4 Mini is a good value item.

True.. I've seen the videos..

Yah, this is probably the most sensible item, given its price, from Apple in the recent times.

Yup price is the most tempting one.. for an Apple.. for first time.

Yah, guess, someone at Apple finally decided to listen to people's most common complaint.

I think its more to do with Apple manufacturing unit in India. Or else, our govt as usual f** us..

Oh, they have started manufacturing (assembling) M4s in India?

I am just guessing , because of the price. Mobiles we know.

Oh, I don't think it's solely because of that, cause, the M4 Mini is pretty decently priced all over, iirc.

All over everything is decently priced. Its us who get exorbant prices on every electronic item due to taxes.

taxes and customs rght!? I seem to be learning alot from you guys how it works there

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

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.

My first laptop was compaq. 2GB ram, pentium. 5kg weight.

Whatever happened to Compaq?!

Absorbed by HP.

Yup. That was solid laptop though. Service was also good at that time.

I have an old Compaq sitting in my mom's garage somewhere, probably only a handful of years newer than that IBM Thinkpad. I should go get it and see if she will still boot.

I think it will. Mine still turns on. Screen damaged but can see some gibberish on it.

Still own the old Compaq? Remember how much you got it for?

Not working. Just have it in a box. I think I got it for 32K at that time.

Didn't know laptops were that cheap in those days.

Cheap? Noooo. 30k was big amount at that time. Dont forget the inflation.

Oh yah, completely forgot about that. I was talking about the amount I was quoted for a low end laptop when we got our first desktop PC in 2004. They quotes us 60K for a low end laptop.

not a bad deal in rupees

Back in the day though that was an amount of luxury for us.

ah i see, context is eveything i suppose. Dont know exactly what its like there or what was "normal" at the time

Oh yeah, evena Pentium 4 desktop was a luxury for most of us back then.

Obviously.. they need money. If something works.. why touch it breaking some and spoil the income?

The philosophy, if it works don't touch it

Wisdom words..

I followed that, until I didn't. But, never on production environment.

Its the mantra for production..

Who am I kidding, I even mess up things in production on my personal projects from time to time.

You have clients?

Yah, every 6 months or so, get a client.

Interesting, what other services you provide?

Proofreading, basic web designing, article writing and such.

any translating services? does that fall unde proofreading or writing?

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?

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.

I am like retired professional competing with young guys.. 🤣

Retiree making a re-entry. Cue music.

🤣🤣

Feeling like Dhoni?

Definitely not. 🤣

Maybe some CSK music will get you there.

what is csk music? Im not familiar with that. a genere?

No, it's actually a cricket team. Chennai Super Kings.

Got it. One of your favorite teams?

Nah, I don't watch Cricket religiously.

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.

I slept like 2 hours a day for an entire week.

I have done that during exams.

I think most of us do that before exams. Atleast backbenchers.

Yup, studying at the 11th hour is a special skill we had.

And forget everything before exam, because lack of sleep.

Never faced that. I performed best at the 11th hour.

when crunch time comes, thats what really puts the pressure on

Hell yeah. Even now, I believe I can perform very well when under pressure.

YEah i feel like my productivity quadruples during crunch time

Yes, it does. same goes for night time as well.

Master. 🙇‍♂️

No consistency in real life though.

You'll get there.. we mature and tend to settle as we age.. or just get married.

Not ready to take that magic potion as an experiment yet.

You seeing anybody?

Nah, figuring out life for myself first.

no a bad thing to do and never too late

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.

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.

Any tutorials or vids available abou this?

Can you remind me tomorrow. I faced this exact issue and foudn this information in a videos few years ago. Will try to get you that video. Regardless, please don't disassemble yourself. The platters are fragile and are better opened in a sterile room.

Sure.. wil talk tomorrow..

Just remind me incase I forget.

Sure will do.

The video was like one of these:-

BTW, again, better not DIY, without access to a sterile room at the least. Even a small grain might corrupt data on the drive.

I won't touch it now anyway. Just want to know.

Oh then, it's safe to watch these videos, unless you got itchy fingers like me

No time for itching..

Wish I was outta time when I destroyed my PS3.

why did you destory your ps3? Tried to do a repair on your own with no experience?

Should I just use Redis Object Cache plugin for WordPress, or should I manually setup Redis for Wordpress?

try w3 total cache or litescache if on ols/litespeed webserver.

Nah, Took your recommendation and happy with Nginx now. Loving it infact. Went with the Redis Object Cache plugin. Just completed setting it up.

Nginx is cool. Thats the one i use. LEMP stack.

Been an Apache head for quite a long time. Then, tried OLS, liked it. But, tried Nginx recently and find it better among the 3 for some reason.

Apache is the OG though. Nginx dethroned it. Still lots of web powered by Apache.

Oh yeah. It's the default on Xampp as well, the server I stayed with all these years on Windows.

Even in linux. Its the LAMP stack.

Yah. Used it there as well. Generally Shared hosting also mainly use Apache. But, due to its similarity in terms of htaccess usage and better caching possibilities, some recently have started to prefer OLS over Apache.

Yup, most shared hosting companies shifted to lite speed a some time ago.

when using shared do you have to use lite speed? They dont give you a choice in the matter?
