    Hell yeah. The RackNerd hype train is leaving.

    Full steam ahead!

    Chooo chooo or woot woot, whichever you like.

    Unlike both, first one reminds me of the Beatles ;)

    Oh man, I have only heard about the Beatles. They were a thing probably when I was a kid to understand what even music was. But, they did visit India and it was a huge think back then.,

    Sure was. Not old enough either but sure love their music.

    Too afraid to say this out loud, but, I haven't heard any of their songs :lol:

    Hi.

    Hey sara

    Gonna catch up soon. Gimme a sec.

    Sure, take your time.

    There.

    Awesome. Now, let's have a live chat hoping you are here.

    As close a live chat can be. You guys are robots!

    LOL! That's an accusation I absolutely hate, esp. since the NY 2024 episode. OOh, that still scares me.

    Humanoid then :)

    i know you guys busy doing your back and forth but i have news on my Swedish VPS.. i was pointed out that it is unmanaged service and when buying, it clearly indicated only Debian 13 was available. which i knew... so here are the words copied:

    Easiest for you would be to wait for our Ubuntu Templates (no ETA yet, can be days/weeks).

    For the rest: You can download the correct iso via ISO list and mount it from there to boot from it and install Ubuntu.

    so it means i initially did wrong ISO [Server Install Image]. and what should have i used? THE option that says [Netboot tarball] then? cause it's the only option besides desktop and WSL ones. then i could boot and install then?

    why that admin is so cryptic... can't just point to which exact ISO i need? just awful..

    in any case i decided to try and compile dante-server first (several attempts if needed), because at least i can rebuild Debian 13 this way if something fucks things up...

    thanks for advice. talk to yous later.

    Back temporarily. Why don't you just try Debian? Unless there's something very specific you need, chances are you won't even notice the difference.

    Ubuntu is derived from Debian. The main differences are that Ubuntu takes newer builds from upstream packages and pushes them to production earlier, whereas Debian usually insists on a year in unstable before considering them production ready. Ubuntu also has more desktop features installed by default and supports a greater range of consumer hardware by adopting binary-only blobs by default instead of opt-in.

    For server stuff, you'll probably find both are fine for whatever you're doing.

    Hard to follow real conversation

    It can get hard.

    that's what she said..

    :lol: Phuket! I don't know how I always end up.commenting unintended inuendos.

    INNUENDO.. when i was young, my parents bought me my first PC - 386DX40. and afterwards they bought me a 14400 baud modem.. and i instituted a BBS at home, people would call my modem using theirs, my phone line would always be busy (overnight), and basically they could get files I was sharing, and upload theirs, and leave messages and read others' messages. very very archaic.. i called my BBS - INNUENDO. i was very into Queen back then, and it's one of their songs, and a name for the whole album.. was so much fun.. my dad kept expecting a huge phone bill but it was never different cause they called me, and it was always from same city, so no extra charges.. but he was freaking out first couple of months..

    I wish I could say I could relate to any of these. Infact, many of the terms are alien to me. I have used dialup connections and stuff in the past though, cause back then, India was slower at catching up with the latest tech in the field.

    well to use dialup you needed a modem.. BBS is Bulletin Board System, it's like a forum in text mode.. =) was..

    then i joined FIDONET, had my own node at home, participated in echoes (like forum again, just all over the world).. modems were used to exchange those posts in echoes. and then central hubs would exchange with hubs in other cities.. it sounds cumbersome, but happened very fast.. and those who were hubs - they usually were somehow connected to avoid paying city -to city calling fees. and eventually they switched to exchanging all posts and stuff via internet.. and finally fidonet became obsolete.. it still exists tho, i think,..,

    I believe I saw something of the sorts you mention in Young Sheldon where he gets access to a computer.

    Love that series!

    Me too.

    Might have to rewatch it, it's so much fun.

    Nah, one time watch was enough for me.

    I dunno may have missed a few good puns. Used to watch it late at night.

    Yah, I mean, Sheldon was witty since the moment he was born. So, that's a possibility since everything that comes out of that guy's mouth is geniusly funny.

    For sure... Gonna order myself a Sheldon shirt for Christmas I think :)

    A single picture can't explain what pain is, right? What about this one?

    Has anyone gotten this before? I check the CPU placement atleast 5 times from all angles with direct light from all sides, before I close the CPU lid on the motherboard. In the current market, such a mistake would be extremely costly.

    BTW, anyone here have experience with bending the pins back to their original position. I have seen people recommend either a razor blade or a plier. If you have done this before, which one would you recommend?

    Did it with a plier once, no issue. Gotta be careful though.

    Yah, I haven't built many PCs to face this issue but the images and videos online of bent pins scares me. So, wa prepping for something like that in the future.

    you can't get ready for that.. first you say - it's only a couple of pins.. then you try leveling them, and push a few others off while doing that.. then it's a knife in your hand trying to straighten whole rows of pins.. end up just saying PHUKET..

    Yah, I know, in the end, I will just have to use the dorra from my Bangkok fund to get a new CPU :lol:

    see you getting it.. lady boys will love you! =)

    I am scared of them. I hate strangers getting all cozy and too touchy with me

    it's understandable. then dinner first!

    No, on a serious note, there are places like that in India too, that I have heard of. They are like extremely rare though.

    Woman would sign a song at NY event: And I'm alone, i'm so alone..
    And Communist Party rep would add: With my coworkers, comrades and compatriots!

    Lol! Were you actually a USSR citizen back in 80s and 90s?

    yes i was. i was a PIONEER for 1 year.. =) it's like 2nd step towards being a COMMUNIST. thankfully then it all went to hell in 1991..

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Pioneers_(Soviet_Union)

    Oh, i didnt know of this. I am guessing you came to states after college and such. How was USSR back in those days?

    USSR ended in 91. I came to USA in 2001. i grew up in Russia. it was not so great.. otherwise i wouldn't be where i am now..

    Was the life of a common man that difficult back in USSR days, like North Korea kinda restcictions?

    Probably.

    Seems so.

    Yeah.

    Damn, it's sometimes interesting to know that a country like NK still exists in the 21st centur.

    Yeh, it's insane. Hard to know what's exactly going on there. Shame though. I'd imagine it's a beautiful country.

    Yes, a beautifuly country and even prolly beautiful people ruined for the greed of a single family. Might have to remove this comment later, incase I do get the chacne to visit NK someday :lol:

    Heheh, you8right though. It saddens me :(

    or this one

    So they just teach you communist ideology?

    and yes, they did. starting even earlier in 1st grade in school you became OCTOBER-something, cause the great revolution happened in october back in 1917 or something like that.. when communists took over Russia, made it into Soviet Union, and Lenin was in charge for a few years.. i;m sure you can read about it from trusted sources..

    Yah, we learned about the Bolshevik revolution and such. But, what are you taught in schools like Das Kapital or Communist Manifesto. Or, some version of these texts modified for the Russian context?

    Probably, it's interesting to study though.

    Never tried that, but, one day, I am curious to know what it says.

    Yeah, when you have time. No mater what your thoughts about it are, it's interesting stuff.

    Have you read any of those two by Marx?

    Yes, read Das Kapital

    Oh wow. I have seen only a few people who have read that. Had half a mind to read it last year, but, when I picked it up, i.e., the PDF, my lazy ass went to Yt to find a das kapital summary video.

    Lol, yeah really gotta set your mind to it. It's boring at times. Just you, gives you more insight about philosophy and motivation behind it.

    Makes you understand the present better.

    Was watching Johnny English Reborn as I was having my dinner. That movie and infact, the rest of the JE movies still crack me up even after all these years. Rown Atkinson is a genius, first made the whole world laugh without even saying a word as Mr. Bean. Imo, he was the next big thing to happen to comedy after those in and around Charlie Chaplin era.

    so it means i initially did wrong ISO [Server Install Image]. and what should have i used? THE option that says [Netboot tarball] then? cause it's the only option besides desktop and WSL ones. then i could boot and install then?

    why that admin is so cryptic... can't just point to which exact ISO i need? just awful..

    in any case i decided to try and compile dante-server first (several attempts if needed), because at least i can rebuild Debian 13 this way if something fucks things up...

    thanks for advice. talk to yous later.

    Back temporarily. Why don't you just try Debian? Unless there's something very specific you need, chances are you won't even notice the difference.

    Ubuntu is derived from Debian. The main differences are that Ubuntu takes newer builds from upstream packages and pushes them to production earlier, whereas Debian usually insists on a year in unstable before considering them production ready. Ubuntu also has more desktop features installed by default and supports a greater range of consumer hardware by adopting binary-only blobs by default instead of opt-in.

    For server stuff, you'll probably find both are fine for whatever you're doing.

    I didn't know this was the major difference between Ubuntu and Debian. I always though Ubuntu was just a refined distro built off of Debian which also has several flavours like Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc., basically a set of distros for people with differential understanding of Linux.
    The update thingy I learned from your comment. So, thanks for that.

    I sometimes actually prefer Debian. Switched to more Ubuntu setups. Not much of a difference. Debian being a bit lighter imx.

    or this one

    So they just teach you communist ideology?

    and yes, they did. starting even earlier in 1st grade in school you became OCTOBER-something, cause the great revolution happened in october back in 1917 or something like that.. when communists took over Russia, made it into Soviet Union, and Lenin was in charge for a few years.. i;m sure you can read about it from trusted sources..

    Yah, we learned about the Bolshevik revolution and such. But, what are you taught in schools like Das Kapital or Communist Manifesto. Or, some version of these texts modified for the Russian context?

    Probably, it's interesting to study though.

    Never tried that, but, one day, I am curious to know what it says.

    Yeah, when you have time. No mater what your thoughts about it are, it's interesting stuff.

    Have you read any of those two by Marx?

    Yes, read Das Kapital

    Oh wow. I have seen only a few people who have read that. Had half a mind to read it last year, but, when I picked it up, i.e., the PDF, my lazy ass went to Yt to find a das kapital summary video.

    Lol, yeah really gotta set your mind to it. It's boring at times. Just you, gives you more insight about philosophy and motivation behind it.

    Makes you understand the present better.

    But, do you agree to everything he says. While I haven't read his works, I have read summaries and did some research into some of his ideas. His ideas like those of alienation, commodity fetishism, etc. seem to be coming true, in some way or the other, but, I don't see communism in it's pure sense ever coming in the way he mentioned at the least.

    i know you guys busy doing your back and forth but i have news on my Swedish VPS.. i was pointed out that it is unmanaged service and when buying, it clearly indicated only Debian 13 was available. which i knew... so here are the words copied:

    Yah, I believe Debian, maybe with lxde or lxqt is known to use very little RAM when idling.
