    Good morning, guys. How's the Xmas prep coming?

    Good morning, guy

    gonna buy chinese roast duck tomorrow.. visiting my sister for gifts exchange..

    Oh, that's good. What are you getting her? BTW, iirc, she was planning to get you a monitor, right? My memory's sketchy

    i got her this

    That looks good. I once tried to get a treadmill here when there was a price error. The order for cancelled and I am still not healthy :lol: I blame it on the cancelled order

    yeah tomorrow gonna try it at her place, had it mailed/delivered there cause it's like 60kg or something.. but yeah, tomorrow picking up the monitor there and maybe some other stuff she said she bought... we haven't done gift exchange ever, this is first time.. i am not big on gifts. mainly because (as i mentioned before) i have hard times shopping for myself, let alone for someone else. i sweat, get headaches, it's a whole process. but here we exchanged wish lists.. was easier.. =)

    That's much better. Just give the other person a list of things you'd like. Reminds me of the Modern Family episode where Phil finds it extremely difficult to get the perfect gift for Claire.

    Good morning, guys. How's the Xmas prep coming?

    Good morning! How was sleeping?

    Very good, I must say. With temperature dropping suddenly over the past few days, I must say, I was under prepared with the number of blankets required. Otherwise, good.

    Hehe, I prepared around halloween since we normally get some snow, it heats up a little, and then the cold comes. I also have a snuggle bug that's kind of like a heated blanket. Doesn't need to be plugged in but it needs to be fed and taking outside from time to time :joy:

    Oh yah. I can relate to those, prolly the best kind out there :smiley: My blankets though for some reason prefer to lie on the floor than on the bed. I have tried to get them on the bed multiple times, but, they just don't love it.

    If I can trust not waking up to "accidents" or a destroyed house, I always let them decide if they cuddle or where they can sleep. 99% of the time, Jessie will cuddle when it's bedtime. During the day, it varies based on what I'm doing, how she's feeling, etc. She does have her own little bed in every room except the kitchen and after I wash one, she will typically want to sleep in it. Which I don't blame her, I too love sleeping in a freshly washed bed!

    Most of my dogs I've never had to worry about letting them roam free though I did have two which I had to close the bedroom door when it was bedtime. One of them would destroy the house which it was weird, she only did that at night, could be left alone all day and wouldn't do it. The other, he would always have an "accident" in one corner of the house for some reason. Again, it was only a night thing, no problems during the day if left alone, even if it's way longer than what I would sleep.

    I have some dogs like that, basically glued to me except they would never sleep on the bed or cuddle up next to me for some reason. That's actually when I decided I would basically keep a dog bed in every room so they could be on the floor or in a comfy spot regardless of the room I'm in.

    That's awesome. I did try a dog bed once, but, my pup thought it was target practice and destroyed it in a single day. He just hated it to the core.

    hehe, some are that way. I had one that would chew the edges/corners, especially when he was younger. Then he kind of switched to toys/blankets instead.

    Oh yes, some of them keep this habit even after they have grown out of their teething period habits. I guess it's kinda entertaining for them.

    I haven't really had issues with other providers but their customer support hasn't been as fast as racknerd!

    i actually currently rent from 32 providers. for example OVH i never even filed 1 ticket, been with them since 2019.. same with IONOS, although had them since summer, as most providers here. same goes for xhosts, hostdare, lumadock, dedirock. a dozen or so providers i purchased from since BF, so it's just been a month, and yet 2 of them already failed me some few times.. is it the size of the company? i see RackNerd's server has like 250k visits per month, it is quite strange if they get infrastructure from colocrossing which barely have 20k monthly visitors.... anyway.. i guess with most providers you get what you paid for.. hence the RackNerd Difference.. =) i now rent 6 VPS from RN.

    i fucking love damned customer support at some of the providers here.. just love it.. i will show this one - chunkserve... OMG.. i understand i have 2 cheap plans there, but man... it's simply ridiculous. isn't it? look at dates and tell me if i am wrong.. i will shorten posts where needed and reverse order for chronology:

    ME Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 (01:25)

    earlier server [IP] became inaccessible. after reboot it was showing 160% disk usage, i have no idea why. so i decided to reinstall system. after doing so, i cannot start the VPS, VNC says auth failed. don't know what to do anymore. please, check, thanks

    OWNER Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 (14:18)

    any help?
    .

    OWNER Thursday, December 18th, 2025 (14:21)

    it's been 1.5 days...
    .

    Operator Thursday, December 18th, 2025 (15:35)

    Dear OWNER, I'll recreate the server. What OS should be preinstalled?
    .

    OWNER Thursday, December 18th, 2025 (19:24)

    ubuntu24 thanks
    .

    OWNER Thursday, December 18th, 2025 (19:28)

    can i also request IP change? both servers have same subnet IP, if you can give a different subnet, i would appreciate.
    .

    Operator Friday, December 19th, 2025 (11:59)

    Of course, please give me hostname/current IP of server that you want to change IP of :)
    .

    OWNER Friday, December 19th, 2025 (14:17)

    [IP] - the IP i'd like to change
    are you simply delaying helping me with all these questions? it feels so.. because IP was listed on the bottom and Ubuntu 24 was listed as my OS on the server panel.
    .

    OWNER Saturday, December 20th, 2025 (14:12)

    man, it's been 3.5 days my VPS is offline. are you going to help me out or not??>
    .

    Operator Saturday, December 20th, 2025 (15:59)

    Dear OWNER, You have 2 servers in the same subnet range, so I wanted to ask, which IP You preffer to swap :) I'm replacing [IP] with [IP1]
    .

    OWNER Saturday, December 20th, 2025 (19:28)

    dear OPERATOR, i appreciate your assistance with IP change. may i be so blunt as to direct your noble attention back to the actual problem with which i dared to approach you earlier? [etc]

    basically he still didn't help with server.. changed IP but did not reset/reinstall the server.
    still waiting for server to be fixed..

    hehe, my experience with racknerd, has basically been I can't even go to the bathroom after opening a ticket before they reply. For mounting an ISO, I can't even take the doggo outside before they have it downloaded and mounted for me!

    i mean.. it seems this guy is just fucking with me.. why would i want to replace IP of the other working server? it is obvious this server's IP is the one i'm asking to replace.. and OS.. just damnit recreate the VPS and I will install OS myself, who cares what OS? am i wrong? anyway... just annoying AF..

    Yeah, that's weird, I'dunno, could me to mess with you, also could be misunderstood you. I'm sure they get weird requests all the time.

  • well gnight y'all..

    less than 2 days till i get 4th place prize and gift it to my sister.. gotta outshine her in the gifting game.. =) plus i'm not into apple stuff. although i red you can hook up airpods to android no problems, but won't get full functionality.. i have samsung buds, only used them during time i was jogging outside, very comfy hooked up to the watch, listen to techno dj mixes to keep up the pace.. but since my ankle started hurting on one leg and knee on the other, i just do workouts in the room while watching random shit on prime.. currently BTW they have 1st season of Mayor of Kingstown for free and ad free. which i am watching now. Jeremy Renner is amazing in it. He like Jason Bateman in Ozark.. was so good..

    maybe you are a linux pro who can handle more things than i can.. i dunno.. but basically some providers are not as good as others.. I think if i don't contact their customer support means they have good customer support. this DeluxHost constantly has problems, my servers in Hetzner can't communicate with their VPSes in NL.. or today IPV6 stopped working as usual, so i normally just do reboot and functionality comes back.. did today. both servers refuse to boot up. i filed a ticket, they replied in a few hours with "please try now"... i look - neither server is booted, neither wants to boot. i'm like "WTF? i asked you to check, so you telling me to check? couldn't you try boot them and see?" i mean, i'd be fine with "was error, reinstall OS" or something, but seems they did nothing and told me to check again.. ridiculous.. it's all this fineprint i guess that stuff sold on LET naturally doesn't include customer support.. so they dole out this stupid wisdom by the teaspoon and only after helping those who paid more. irritating to say the least.

    I wouldn't consider myself a pro but I'm definitely strong with it. Probably stronger with it than I am with windows... I started using Gentoox (gentoo but a binary version for the first/original xbox) in very early 2000s. For a while, that was my only "computer" that was mine/not shared. Then I eventually setup dual booting on the family computer and eventually I got my own which I also dual booted. During those times, Gentoo used to break a lot with updates if you didn't update all the time so I got used to digging into logs/troubleshooting things on my own. It was annoying but back in those days with more limited hardware/resources, compiling for your specific CPU/hardware and removing stuff you didn't need really made things run much faster. In a way, I'm happy it broke since it made me learn how to dig into things/troubleshoot and gave me confidence that I could figure it out. It also made me learn more about how linux works and a lot of that knowledge transfers to the various distros with just small differences between them.

    Yeah, if I did end up in 3rd/4th place, I would totally ask if I could be treated like an international customer and just get credit. Though there's no way I can catch up for that :lol: Good idea on using it for a gift to someone else!

    Oh, I believe regardless of whether you are international or non-intl, winners can always opt for RackNerd credits instead. So, you should be good there.

    Yeah, I figured they would do it. In a way, I don't really have a need for 2nd place but I would still get it over the credit just to play with it. Same with 1st place though parts of it would be an upgrade from my current gaming desktop.

  • hehe, doggo is asleep by my feet dreaming. At least I think she is as she's twitching/pretending to run. I'm totally going to let her sleep for now but I will eventually have to wake her up for the "bedtime" potty. She would be fine until morning but then she will forsure wake me up early and I rather attempt to sleep in and a break tonight will give me more time in the morning :)

    I did build it when it was current. Well, I got the MB/CPU/Ram when it was current. I always upgrade my desktop in parts. Like I will re-use the stuff that I didn't upgrade. It originally didn't have a 2080 Super in it, that was upgraded after the fact. I did kind of want to upgrade the GPU but then the whole crypto thing was going on and figured it wasn't worth it since it's still good enough. Was totally thinking about upgrading the MB/CPU/RAM this coming summer but I think I'm going to just wait on that due to the current prices/etc.

    Current forecasts say it's gonna take atleast 1-2 years for the price to normalise. But, I guess, it's anyone's guess.
    Not sure if it's doable in the US very easily or if you have the tools for it, but, many in china have been upgrading their 20 series cards to have double or more quantity of the ram. Extremely tough process though without a reball station and other tools.
    Iirc, 2080 was the preferred GPU for it.

    Yeah, if I did end up in 3rd/4th place, I would totally ask if I could be treated like an international customer and just get credit. Though there's no way I can catch up for that :lol: Good idea on using it for a gift to someone else!

    Oh, I believe regardless of whether you are international or non-intl, winners can always opt for RackNerd credits instead. So, you should be good there.

    Yeah, I figured they would do it. In a way, I don't really have a need for 2nd place but I would still get it over the credit just to play with it. Same with 1st place though parts of it would be an upgrade from my current gaming desktop.

    What's your current pc spec?

    my gaming desktop high level hardware specs is an i9-9900k, 2080 Super, 32G ram, and a mix of SSDs (nvme and sata). It's still good but could be better

    That's cool. How old is it BTW? I mean did you build it when 9th gen came out?

    I did build it when it was current. Well, I got the MB/CPU/Ram when it was current. I always upgrade my desktop in parts. Like I will re-use the stuff that I didn't upgrade. It originally didn't have a 2080 Super in it, that was upgraded after the fact. I did kind of want to upgrade the GPU but then the whole crypto thing was going on and figured it wasn't worth it since it's still good enough. Was totally thinking about upgrading the MB/CPU/RAM this coming summer but I think I'm going to just wait on that due to the current prices/etc.

    Current forecasts say it's gonna take atleast 1-2 years for the price to normalise. But, I guess, it's anyone's guess.
    Not sure if it's doable in the US very easily or if you have the tools for it, but, many in china have been upgrading their 20 series cards to have double or more quantity of the ram. Extremely tough process though without a reball station and other tools.
    Iirc, 2080 was the preferred GPU for it.

    I've heard about those mods but I don't have those type of skills to do it myself. Do have a decent little soldering/hotair station but I can just do minor stuff. It's still good enough for most things, only feel it's age if I try doing like crazy graphic settings and resolutions. My last upgrade was to a dual 4k monitor setup. I do kind of miss having a triple monitor setup but dual 4k is nicer.

    less than 2 days till i get 4th place prize and gift it to my sister.. gotta outshine her in the gifting game.. =) plus i'm not into apple stuff. although i red you can hook up airpods to android no problems, but won't get full functionality.. i have samsung buds, only used them during time i was jogging outside, very comfy hooked up to the watch, listen to techno dj mixes to keep up the pace.. but since my ankle started hurting on one leg and knee on the other, i just do workouts in the room while watching random shit on prime.. currently BTW they have 1st season of Mayor of Kingstown for free and ad free. which i am watching now. Jeremy Renner is amazing in it. He like Jason Bateman in Ozark.. was so good..

    Oh yah. The upgrade does require replacing the RAM chips and modifying another chip to accept the VRAM upgrade.
    As for monitors, I have always had a single monitor setup. Not sure if dual or more is a possibility without a dgpu at all, I mean one to display port and another to HDMI won't work, right?
    Will have to upgrade my monitor soon as well, cause mine has multiple vertical lines right now. Dunno if repair is an option anymore

    previously was hdmi and dp (due to card ports) but my current setup is both dp.
    Honestly, triple monitor was nice but I wouldn't really say it's needed like I do with dual monitor. IIRC, there was some business studies that were done and they came to the conclusion that dual monitors increase productivity a lot and well worth the price. Going triple or more didn't really increase productivity and the cost wasn't really worth it.

    Oh ok. I mean i was asking if plugging a monitor into display port and another to HDMI on the motherboard ports with an apu, not a discrete GPU could get me a dual monitor setup? I guess not
