So now I'm really missing having a lab and playing with Linux, CLI, setting up cron jobs, using VI to play with config files, etc... I need to get back into that. I'd pick it right back up but I'm feeling rusty...
@scottalanmiller any chance you got a Linux VM I could just tinker with and play with that if it breaks, we can scrap and just start over?
I hear the NTG lab is only $10/month.
?? O.o Oh...really?
I think so, there is thread on it somewhere here.

I'm moving some files off of a 500GB single USB drive into a 2 bay Synology.

I really want to catch up to Dashrender and get back to the second spot for top posters, where I belong! Lol
You gotta get busting hump to do that. He's got quite the lead at this point and he's still out posting you day to day.
Is there a place where non-god-moded people can see that?

I need to create a user that doesn't have God mode here so I can answer questions like that. I have no idea what you all see.

Oh great @dafyre ... now you've got @scottalanmiller curious if he can do it... this is going to be the Ghost Pepper that was entirely from spice-ups all over again...

That's a really good idea... I didn't even think about that.

Oh I know that I can do it. I've already got scripts for doing cool reads here.

LOL, I warned them that you could do it and that you could have a Ghost user who had never posted a single time. People told me I was stupid and that the spice points represent community involvement.
So on a Sunday afternoon hanging out with @bsouder in three hours I wrote a program that totally automated Spiceworks and went through their RESTful API and went thread by thread up voting everything. The very first post made by that user was "Hey, guess who I am." as a Ghost. Not one single post, review or anything prior to being Ghost. Three hours of effort only.
And that's why you max out at 11 points from spicing things per day.
-
I also know how, but never did it because it would make a mess, to have a script take hundreds of thousands of old SW posts, copy one at random, and post it onto the end of each thread. So if spicing up once on each thread gets you a lot of points, imagine what posting to each thread would do! 10x the points, just as fast. And almost impossible to catch because it is real posts, each one different.

Why am I not surprised that @scottalanmiller has a script that reads every post around here? Next thing we know he'll be putting the coffee maker on the network and having it brew a cup of coffee for him in the exact amount of time it takes to walk to the thing.
