Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
Crypto is a ponzi scheme, just like NFTs. If you’ve done any of the following:
– created a profile pic with “laser eyes”
– said “bitcoin fixes this”
– said “have fun being poor”
I hope you lose every single penny.
You forgot to add an option for: totally stoked that crypto is falling, and haven’t been interested in it since 2014. Maybe this will send some cheap used GPUs to eBay for me.
It’s a collapsing Ponzi racket- with lots of lies about how it’s public and transparent. Fanbois can GFTS. Not to mention the environmental/energy wasting travesty. Digital Pet Rocks.
