    Finished streaming

    What's your twitch if you want another follower? :)

    Glorpiware

    followed :)

    i don't even remember if i ever had twitch user.. maybe it's my amazon prime email? cause i remember getting some deals or something, or games via prime+twitch.. never really got into it though.. streaming..

    it's a different account though you can link your prime memebership to get free games and a free tier 1 monthly sub to a channel (have to manually resub after that month or you can sub to a different channel). If you're a streamer, linking that prime membership gives you additional bonuses as well (or at least used to)

    cool.. i still think about start streaming 1 day.. so prime will give it a little boost.. althou games they offer thru/with/as bonus of prime are not in my plans to play...

    no but still nice to collect just in case one day you do. BTW, if you do start streaming and make affiliate, really think twice if you want to subject your viewers to a lot of ads (if they don't use an extension or ad blocker). Twitch has got really aggressive with them after turbo or whatever was created. I actually create some bot commands for my custom bot (still need to do more work on it) so I can trigger '!ad60' to run an ad break so folks aren't interupted for the next hour with pre-roll or the mid stream ads. I also created a timer/reminder of how much ad-free time I have left (could be seen in the streamer dashboard but I rarely load it, I normally just use the OBS twitch integration/chat for everything

    so what, twitch will insert their own ads that do (or don't?) benefit you into your stream? same like youtube monetizes your video even if you are well below monetization numbers that will benefit you?

    well, I have yet to experience it on normal (non affiliate/partner) channels but they do basically play about the same amount of time of ads per hour (unless the streamer increases it). So it's better to just manually trigger/schedule the ad breaks. Though I think until you get & accept affiliate, you don't have to worry. hehe, I got affiliate from streaming tetris 99 :)

    cool thanks for the info. i will keep it in my mind. just 1 thing left - get that gaming rig. noob has divulged his plan to win it and ship it to his relative in USA, who then in turn can take out the gfx card and keep the rest for themselves, and bring that geforce 4060 to noob in India when visiting.. what a shame though.. gaming rigs should be respected more.. some people somewhere spent time putting them together first on paper, then at the plant, usually parts fit each other well together.. anyway, i need to kick it up a few notches, make it as hard for him as humanely possible

    all right! all work is finished for today. let's party hardy!!

    hehe, I'm still doing house stuff though I usually take breaks throughout. Though I'm almost down to just unloading the dishwasher and continue on laundry. Though my new toy has been calling my name. I didn't play last night because I knew I would probably be up all night or way too late. If I do start playing on it, I will still be here with the random refreshes and replies :)

    when you didn't show up as usual in the morning i assumed you spent whole night playing thou.. =)

    hehe, I slept in a little bit and took the doggo on a longer walk than normal. Well, longer than normal for the mornings, it's usually the evenings where we go on longer walks where I let her decide (to an extent) where we walk and for how long.

    LOL.. i pride myself on uptime.. my current longest running without a reboot:

    hehe, I have patching done daily and it will check if there's any processes using old version or if there was a kernel update. I did think about scripting it out if it was something like nginx to just restart nginx but figured since it was easier to just reboot the whole host that is what I do instead since it only takes like 10 seconds to reboot/fully start things.

    yeah but like this is my farm server that has many websites on it.. some with traffic some without. to be honest, i even run php 7.4 on it because i don't wanna fix all the sources everywhere like arrays and some functions that don't wanna work without enough params, so i don't restart it at all if i can.. same there's 1 server that processes all the jobs. actually all my sites have 2 reverse proxies in nginx configs, 1 reverses to the sources, another 1 reverses certain folder that hosts certain buttons to a different server which runs the jobs, this way nobody knows either, and i also have protection to allow only my servers connect to those central 2.. the one that processes work load uses 2 more servers to actually do the work, while it does centralized managing with redis and memcache for storage.. it's a product of long figuring out how to do the stuff the easiest way.. =)

    hehe, I've been doing it like that for many years, haven't had anything break from just normal updates, only major upgrades is where things break. That's why I only will only use an OS that has years worth of patches/support so when the next major version is released, I can casually test/see how it behaves in a VM and fix/upgrade when I can and stay on the current one until that is all done. That's why the other day when ubuntu 25.x was mentioned, I was like "stick to 24.04/lts" with my comment

    yeah i get it.. although TBH i don't bite when it tells me a shit load of updates can be applied.. if it works - i am not making it better... but i do see and understand your strategy.. TBPerfH i don't even restart services after installing something new when it says some should or could be restarted.. on hard worker servers that is. unless it's on VPS where it is not so important.. and yeah, i too only use ubuntu 24 now.

    no worries, if i don't get responses, i have things to do and sich.. 1.5hrs left till cooking time.. my wife doesn't cook. neither she eats my cooking, although an open offer stands.. she goes to get Wendy's or some tacos or other handheld foods.. i mean, it's your funeral...

    sometimes that evening walk is basically not even a block away and we head back. It's seriously her's to decide. Though it's only ever like that in the winter, if we went to the park earlier in the day, or she's not feeling the best (ate something random while walking or got into the trash [rare])

    dogs outside have their own agenda. pulling you to side-streets mainly to check out the mail that's there in abundance... many people won't even go 1 block to the park nearby.. so there's a lot to read, a lot to reply.. my sister's last dog is male.. you or rather yours probably don't suffer from all that stuff. the need to speak up...

    i keep wanting to say mine, i did spend accumulative months with the dog, my sister has a big position at a big international firm, so she went to like 40 different countries to do checkups, inventories, revisions, all kinds of work.. anyway Sammy really loved goose turds.. OMG... just would find and chow it down like it's some kind of a special meaty treat.. silly goose..

  • her dog named Sampson or Sammy for short.. JIC

  • back in the day OVH used to give free IPv4s up to like 18 or so per VPS, 8 or so GEOs that i could get from OVH.ca.. was so great.. and i did get as many as i could for 6 VPS i have long years running with them. then they decided it's time to charge for extra IPs, and not just charge but draconian-ly - $2/IP/month.. who can afford that? i instantly had to pay like $300 a month.. so i had to combine sites from 15 IPs onto 3-4 IPs per VPS, and gave up the most. Now i am planning to give up all 6 servers come February, so now slowly moving sites (not the current work, currently i am losing 3 vps from elsewhere with need to move sites as well) to other servers and giving up those IPs, so i only have like 12 extra IPs now, and every time i give them up, OVH asks why, and i with great pleasure select "too expensive" and then next group "planning to purchase from competitor"... i know my money is just a drop in the ocean for them, yet it gives me pleasure to submit that to them..

    @Saragoldfarb how old is your children? if is ok to ask

  • Surprised to see the 2.5GB VPS has actually gone down - in 2023 it was $25.49 for

    2x vCPU Cores
    50 GB SSD Storage
    2.5 GB RAM

    Anyone have details on what CPU the Seattle node is running? Wondering if they've upgraded since I cancelled in 2024.

    Just have one. Kid is 7 but a handful. She's a aery social little person. Got kids around the house like it's a total kindergarten and nothing stopping her from it.

    They wreck the place, have fun... I gave up and just roll with it. Kids are the future so I'll just try to teach them something along the way :)

    probably @dustinc will know best.. technically hardware is more expensive nowadays, so it may have been baked into the prices..

    i don't even notice it anymore, i do not to use the word child when referring to children, i just say children no matter how many.. something in my head.

    sometimes i think about what would be if i had children though.. my wife has lupus and kidney transplant, taking a dozen different anti-rejection pills, so it's always been out of the question. but ever so rarely i do think about it..

    Well, definitely join in on the fun and you may be able to snatch something good along the way. It's not like the purple thread. People are there to amuse themselves at first I think.... If you ask me.

    It takes dedication though, you might end up with nothing to show for but I can promise you will have a lot of fun.
