    Hi, which GA are you talking about?

    Looks like it was a provider that started with the name snake.. I dont want to promote other providers here :) Only racknerd

    Did you just answer yourself? :p

    He often does answer to himself. Thats the only way to get 6k messages...

    Hey now! I think that is a very small % of my posts :( It happens when i black out the the LET implants take over my mind

    I have a real question - would I find a page where all 30 posts would be done by you? I am pretty sure I have scrolled through some that contained at least 25...

    lol.. I think it might be possible.. Maybe back in the early 200s or 300s maybe? There was a period i was on fire, i couldnt ever do that again.. Maybe you can add that as a stat xD largest uninterrupted post streak per user (30 may not imply "single page"), or max number of posts on a single page per user?

    Now I wish i had tried to replicate your stats page.. Too much work to get the http requests going though.. Had some random thoughts for stats..

    1) Largest uninterrupted post streak per user
    2) Max number of posts on a single page per user
    3) Number of self replies (need to rely on parsing @ mentions so brittle)
    4) Number of "fast posts". I.e. First post on time 11:01 is 0.. IF you post again and it registers 11:01 again, now fast posts is 1. Sum up all occurances of this
    5) Implied spam filter hits. If a user blasts out 5 messages within a 2 min window then doesnt post for a minute after, treat it as if they got spam blocked and count how many times this happens
    6) Count of back and forth posts, call it the GET A PM FOLKS counter. If one user comments, then another user, then the same, user, any future posts with ONLY these users counts as a "back and forth post". If another user posts, it then resets this count, but then again checks if we now have a 3 way "back and forth" posts. Would need to cap this at like a minute interval of grouping users

    1-5 are not exactly bragging rights and 6 is a normal conversation. :D

    Thats also my point of view. 1-5 ciuld be also used as a rule for red avatar :)

    I still havent gotte to see one yet :( People said one popped up in mega thread, i think trk or xpress may have actually had one for a moment?... by the time i got there it was gone

    Is this the actual red pfp :O very intimidating!

    Yep, if you look look at the image info you'll see it's hosted on LET.

    You need to earn this pfp! :D Only the chosen ones get it :D

    I think Ben needs to work harder to earn this one achievement

    After much consideration I have decided that I am ok not tackling that achievement

    But I guess every publicity is good oublicity

    Thats true. Never any bad publicity these days. People will eat up anything you throw at them it seems

    Yup, that's how the new era works

    like that Hawk Tuah girl

    One of the most hilarious things from her was where many people think her "new york concrete jungle wet dream tomato" was an original joke/meme (a branch of wrong lyrics meme).

    she's just a dumb girl who cost people lots tons of money who bought her cryptocurrency that was scammy

    Oh yeah, it totally was and I hope she or someone involved with it is charge and convicted. It's going to keep happening until someone is made an example of... Similar with how some people feel the need to try shooting down quads/drones. I think it will take the FAA to make an example of someone before it's taken more serious (so far, folks have only been charged with local laws like discharging gun in city, distruction of property, etc.)

    I like drones and I hate guns, and while I would never condone it, if you're flying close enough to someone that you're pissing them off and they're able to shoot your drone down, you're flying far too close to them anyway.

    That's true, bro. I would like to buy a drone some day

    I want one as well but they are pretty much banned all over the place here. Im fairly certain I can't even mess around in my yard with it. Technically only an issue if neighbors complain. I'd like to have one to race around with for fun

  • @chitree said: how now cow?

    Regarding benchmarks, I haven't rerun YABS again. But I did compile the latest release of asterisk on 3 different vps and started the 3 compiles within a few seconds of each other. The compile looks like it's single-threaded, so it's only using 1 core.

    The compile on the cheapest vps finished first ($10.80/year).
    HostSailor (2 cores) AMD EPYC 9534 64-Core Processor

    Next, the Intel Gold, finished not long after (€49.95/year).
    Virtono (4 cores) Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5218 CPU @ 2.30GHz

    And last, RackNerd's E5, finished quite a bit later ($18.93/year).
    RackNerd (2 cores) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 0 @ 2.90GHz

    I like drones and I hate guns, and while I would never condone it, if you're flying close enough to someone that you're pissing them off and they're able to shoot your drone down, you're flying far too close to them anyway.

    I'm a fan of both (good ol farm life) but I'm a bigger fan of drones. The only stories I've heard of someone of the random public shooting down were of photography drones, kids being dumb/harassing (honestly, probably was the "spying on" thing folks instantly jump to/assume), or how places like walmart are testing delivery drones. The key thing with these drones is they're not fast/hover and usually bigger so they're much easier to hit. If it was a fpv/non-photography drone, they're much harder to hit unless they're diving, even for marksmen (there's videos on youtube of a pilot trying to evade and people take it out).

    I never had mine shot, I have had a several people come up that started a little aggressive but turned out most were just curious and they enjoy it the views from the photography drone, especially once they tried on goggles. Though the FPV one made them a little sick :lol: Though one was a crazy man and it just blew my mind because I was in a park in the city and there was literally a police station next to the playground he and his kids were at (I didn't see any kids) and I was a ways off. Never even flew close to the playground but he was sure I was taking pictures of his kids. Funny enough, when I said lets go the police so I share my video/pics and gps with them so he could get charged with harassment, he didn't go in with me and I guess he left right away, at least an officer said there was no one at the park. The police did say it wasn't the first time they heard of people harassing people flying there as it's one of the few areas in the metro where you don't need airspace authorization to legally fly (it's basically all controlled airpsace).

    The blue dot was the area I was at, the blue square is the area I flew in (did go a little further up into the lake), the yellow square is the playground area, and the drop pin is the police station.

    @BlazinDimes only had one theory, and that was something to do with time/date. He doesn't have the motivation to bother figuring out the order in which the numbers are used though.

    Right anyway, good night chaps.

    My for me to crawl into my freezing cold bed, sans jumper, and freeze to death tonight. Last night it was -5 degrees. That's "damn cold" in US units.

    May you be saved very soon by a RackNerd sweater. BTW, you do know that the sweaters are usually US only right?

    That's OK, I'm pretty fat so a US-sized sweater works for me.

    Not the size, the shipping. So, you will have to pay for shipping from US to UK. But sometimes, there are international GAs on merch as well. So, hope for the best.

    That seems a little mean. Giving away thousands of dollars in a TV prize, and probably paying a ton to ship it somewhere, but he can't even stick my sweater in a jiffy bag and post it for a buck or two. A jumper's what, 400g maximum? That's about 14.832163 ounces in US units.

    Mean? I don't know. Shipping international comes with a lot of headache when it comes to customs clearance. RackNerd being a US-based company, makes sense for them to ship most merch only to US. If they were to single out certain regions they would ship to, for example, UK, it'd be kinda disappointing to someone, say in Brazil.
    Anyways, as I already said, Dustin is generous enough to throw international GAs on merch at times. If not, pretty sure you can shell out a buck or two for your precious sweater, right?

    Sure, but it's easy to ship to the UK. Not really relevant if Brazil makes it hard to import sweaters, because he only needs to send the sweater to the UK. simples.

    Unfair, in any case. Why not just spend the buck or two yourself though? Again, there are international giveaways, so, this discussion might just be futile altogether.

    How's it unfair? Nobody in Brazil is going to win anyway?

    But a buck? Sure, I'd buy that for a dollar.

    We got @DeusVult from Brazil. And, he has chances of winning the sweater as much as you do.

    Anyways, since you are ready to spend the dolalr incase it isn't international, that's settled then.

    I haven't even once seen him pipe up and say he wants my sweater.

    Doesn't he want the TV anyway?

    Believe it or not, Ben wants the TV.

    Believe it or not, everyone wants the TV, almost like, a competition. :p

    I am going for the PS5. While the 75 inch TV is definitely something I'd love to go for, I can't get it here. The PS5 on the other hand has better chances.

    Do you think you have a way to get the ps5 out there, or looking like you are going to get credits? Have someone you can ship too or maybe just planning on paying the import fees/taxes?

    Will the Reship service not work?

    Reminder to get your daily entry for the racknerd winter gleam give away btw. Forgot to do mine today until just now! https://lowendbox.com/blog/bonus-code-friday-get-extra-entries-to-win-racknerds-arcade-game-machine-or-other-prizes/

    This talk of sweaters and tv's reminded me!

    This is part of my daily morning routine, haha.

  • Is the RackNerd sweater that Ralf keeps asking about one-size-fits-all, or will he need to provide his clothing size?

    Yeah i figured if @BlazinDimes can't do it nobody can. At this point it's too hard to find the history of numbers as well. Maybe we can start from the top again

  • @orangejoose said:

    I think noob has a way but the hard part is when he has to deal with customs. Seems like it's easier to just take the credit. I think @BlazinDimes was around during that convo so he may have more info

    I need to get on that. I forget too often but usually catch someone's reminder. I've been on top of it the last few days. I could benefit to be a little more like @BlazinDimes though. It seems he's usually pretty on top of it

    I heard there's only one size sweater and it's ralf size. He posted a pic of himself trying it on in the racknerd winter giveaway thread. Should checkout that thread too if you haven't. Believe i saw the one and only @BlazinDimes make an appearance there as well!

    Do you have an idea if you were disk bound or core bound? Were differences possibly on waits for disk time? Can you build in a ram disk? I assume you get ram contention as well with it being a vps but wonder if thats less likely than disk.. @BlazinDimes and myself are curious..

    Also with epyc are your cores dedicated? Do you have the frequency handy? @BlazinDimes probably can get a good approximation of this.

    I have a single host sailor vps so that's promising ( <3 ) Still racknerd 4lyf though.
