Overloaded server always :joy:. Someone should upgrade to a 15$ droplet, btw is this forum hosted on a $5 droplet?

it can also occur when updating the forum to a newer version
or some other internal work is being done
so it will be unavailable for a short time

but of course, anything is possible as a reason

I guess for 2.9.0.beta3, the forum went down!

For mainly secure reasons, beta versions are not normally installed here. Also, this forum needs more than $5 to run, I can almost guarantee you that.

@wackyblackie, I recommend the Acer R721T, it is perfect for you.

:joy::joy::joy:

Alienware is a good brand, if you like paying for the brand name. My classmate has a Lenovo gaming laptop, with roughly the same specs as mine for ~300-500 dollars less (mine was on sale for 200 dollars off, too!).

Oops, forgot to look. Setting reminder now. What are you going to use it for besides web/dev?

  • Better question: How many tabs and programs will you have open at once :scream:

Does it have to be a laptop?

You get prizes?

Well, in that case, a nice 6 paragraph essay on the socioeconomics surrounding the characters and their actions in the book Wuthering Heights would be nice :slight_smile:

WSL, python, Go (but that’s all dev stuff), SCHOOLWORK…

at least 3 apps at once, maybe some virtualization app as well. As for tabs, up to 10 at a time.

most Preferably.
