  nothing like that there are limits on posing more than 5 posts per minute and I did cross that so thats fair since its sort of bot protection so can't say anything

  Spot the person trying to sneakily win the laptop...

  someone has to win it, right?

  Quite a few people trying to get the happy id say. The competition is fierce!

  Try out Alpine on your next VPS as it doesn't take much space so it would be great for the VPS with smaller drives

  Currently trying it out on a Docker containers. Though lightweight, it does miss some basic packages that need to be installed and setup separately

  Pretty functional system with a small footprint

  Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/sda2 117G 203M 112G 1% /
  /dev/sda1 272M 26M 227M 11% /boot

  Yah, but, on Docker Ig, I have to learn how to setup openrc and such packages to start or control services.

  This will help you then with OpenRC
  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC_to_systemd_Cheatsheet

  Systemd is where it's at. Never tried it myself. Docker uses openrc?

  Docker is a very interesting concept that just works like magic. Docker Compose files are pretty interesting too.

  Is there a repo of simple sample Docker files to help learn the basics?

  Yes, Racknerd always provides great VPSs at great prices.

  Especially when they drop those flash sales! Hint hints Mr Chef 😀

  Will have to check it out. I've been using almalinux after i lost centos. Racknerd have Alpine setup as an option or do you need to setup a custom iso for that?

  Almalinux is a good distro. I'm not sure if Racknerd has an Alpine ISO or if you need to use your own - I'd recommend updating it to 3.20 or 3.21 anyhow.

  Just checked. Alpine would be BYO on RackNerd.

  Darn. I'm not sure how to setup the isos for racknerd. I like the simple selecting from the drop down and click to setup so I'll probably stick with alma Linux in that case

  Simple, just open a ticket and provide them the official link to the ISO.

  THE MIGHTY RAT GANG IS HERE FOR THE RACKNERD PARTY !!

  I'd rather be a cat than a rat

  So, Tom fan then?

  Tom isn't the best cat

  Rate the cats in the order of your liking.

  What other cats are there?

  You know the frenemies that Tom has.

  I still don't understand why you were asked to login via social media, when every time I just need to enter my email.

  Yeah that's was really weird. Luckily I recently reactivated mine because something important only shared news there so I got lucky I had one. I may not have been enter to otherwise
