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.

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

Yah, they are still in high demand though.

I decided to check up on the Megathread while on my PC in the living room, it opened to an NSFW image

Exactly.. till now my is beside me.. stopped posting here as well for some time. 🤣🤣

LOL! Got lucky that no one was around. But, not a huge issue, as it wasn't anything highly incriminating.

There are some images though.. like gay images etc..

yeah this thread gets worse and worse i dont want to see nsfw stuff on this commuity

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?

Oh yes, do that as well. I can speak and write 4 languages (3 Indian and English)

Yeah or apple silicon if you are able to get them.

I think getting a mac mini is easies of all

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.

Don't forget super bikes as well.

I would think its way to crowded to drive a super bike out there. I suppose the more rual you are the better

Yah, most cities are crowded but a drive through the countryside is manageable I guess.

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.

It will be fine believe me 🙂

Hope I don't run out of RAM

Download more..

LOL! Available on Linux?

Yup. Use the command. apt install ram --size=N

LOL! Heard you could get unlimited RAM by running this command as root:-
rm -rf /

Yup ran it successfully multiple times. You too run it on your servers after ram fill up.

Planning to run it after the debug session is complete.

I hope no one has made that mistake ever. Never tried to run the command. Wonder if every distro warns when that command is run

Never tried either . May be I will try in some vm.

I will try in a Docker container and let you guys know

If you try in production, then tell us.

do this! live life on the edge and go straight to prod

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?

Yup, exactly the reason. Was overheating. So,decided to change the thermal paste under the IHS for the CPU. Broke a few components in the process.

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.

Lite Speed is better, but paid. Most still use Open Lite Speed, as it's free.

is this sort of like the centos vs whatever setup we used to have before they ruined it? open lite speed for testing?

Pretty close, I'd say.

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.

Thanks, what's the RAM like on yours?

My dedi? I don't own any I was trying to get KS-A though.... Meh I will just upgrade my home lab....

So, how are you hosting you ecommerce site then?

I thought he mentioned something about the VPS servies? could be wwrong

Nah, he confirmed it's on Shopify for now.

Just setup another server for redis you got enough to spend 😉

Damn, didn't even think of that possibility. Maybe would do that, if I ever run out of RAM due to Redis.

I think you can limit ram usage in redis. It falls back to file stores no?

I guess that could be done. Would ahev to research this. Thank you.

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.

Definitely not with competing with you people.

No, man. Please don't say that. Forget everything I said. Don't give up.

yes we need xpress to get that lappy he has been craving. He deserves it! down on his luck due to the hd issues

Yah, as I always say, may the best man win!

Yup. Trying it on the Ryzen.

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

He needs to get a dedi with i9 for wordpress?

If doing Woocommerce then perhaps...

Woocommerce itself is a bad idea.

But it works if it works......

I don't know, I don't like it somehow. But normal customers feels different may be. Once I used OpenCart, magenta etc for testing.. But somehow, woo feels heavy

It is heavy, but if you strip the front end and use it as backend things changes drastically. After the introduction of wpgraphql even I find myself tempted 🙂

And you need to build a front end of site?

That's how it goes, build one in vue or react and you get one heck of a fast web shop.

In that case, we have lots of options.

Both are Javascript derivatives right?

Frameworks in javascript.. like laravel, cakephp etc for php..

Oh, got it. Never used any frameworks yet

It will take time.. go slowly.

It's high time I tried some though.

Launch these projects and then start.

Sure, launching the projects is the priority right now.

any updats on them yet?

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

I said give us chance.. not competition..

LOL! Will try my best. You would be much freer after Dec 31, without me.

24 pages ... Its 720 comments... I think somewhat difficult.

Difficult, not impossible for the RackNerd hype gang though.

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?

I think not credits, as TrK will give him credits anyway.

Yah, maybe he will sell the arcade in the US as TrK mentioned.

That seems to be the most likely strategy. Everything else seems complicated

Even that's complicated unless he knows the person in US personally.
