Haven’t posted in a while, as usual. I got a new mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU, and case. Basically a whole new PC minus the GPU which is hard to come by right now. Fortunately my good friend Eric sent me a 2080Ti he rescued from the bitcoin mines of Iraq to tide me over until […]
Read More →Azure – turn off AlwaysOn to save memory

Read More →Redis timeouts when used for session storage
