I am years ahead of you.

Don’t worry I do not like Repostorm either, it was slow. I just invoked it as a service, that is why I do not like it. Makes things really slow, that is about to go away.

We can ignore this: Fetched 8575 MB in 2min 48s (51.1 MB/s) We will continue to ignore: RepoStorm 2.0.4 <<- “Oh, is that a 4? is pre-scanning for error(s). Processing deb(s): 1 of 1,043 deb(s). I am about to open up in my case 32 at a time accross the board, do not worry I am sure they are not all errored.

To be honest, I could have it scanning for errors 32 packages at a time. I am just dipping my toes right now. I loved the results, hated the application. Things are about to change.

Errors detected in ./libevent-pthreads-2.1-7_2.1.11-stable-1_amd64.deb. Does not sound so stable to me.

It is doing it one at a time. Once setup it will burn through packages 32 at a time in my case. While you may think, Glenn, damn it we do not have a 32 core CPU. That will change.

You will look back at me and say, do you remember when I had a dual core?

I have seen what takes over an hour to do turn into 3 minutes. This will be much, much worse, or better if you want to look that way.

CPU CORES rule & then you will understand. I will do the same thing to the entire Ubuntu Repository over 50,000 packages at a time. I will use Repostorm 2.0.3 and show you the results v/s 2.0.4. I can almost bet you do not understand when this is dropped on a server. For an example a 256 core server.

This was single cored: Results:Error(s): 17 | Warning(s): 732 | Info: 17Perfect deb(s): 841 Writing permanent logs for zsh_5.8-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb.errors. RepoStorm: All operations complete. Number of CPU Core(s) / threads(s) detected: 32. This is not implemented: Launching 32 instances to accelerate the building process, please wait. Extracting 32 packages of 33 at a time using 32 CPU core(s). Debugging: Current running processes: 3. I am still “Working it” Analytical process can be done the same way.

All at once, err until I run out of chips. The ONLY thing I can’t really do in Repostorm is install multiple packages at once. I will let you know when I get that far or if I can or not. Every little step I take? Eventually you will understand. Did you know what I think is really funny I already wrote an app to do so. I swear I told you about it, just have not released it yet. The impact is massive. Results will be the same that I bring you.

How do you like my uethemes application? Oh, that is write you have not seen it yet. A new Repostorm is coming. Yes, I did deliberately spell Right Wrong.

TheeMahn,

I have been building Operating Systems Since 2006. Want to know the most singular program that has impressed me? It is running as I type this.
Parallel mksquashfs: Using 32 processors, at first I thought my god leave me a Core. Everything is still smooth. I wrote an app that utilizes the same technology. It does not stop it keeps opening threads until you have none left and watches for one to complete, only to launch another thread. Until the job is done. The results are phenomenal. The fella that wrote that app had his mindset right.

I am considering dropping the same technology into Repostorm. Why build one deb at a time when you can build 32 at a time? But Glenn, err TheeMahn I only have a Quad core? Results are the same. Software acceleration.

I did tell you I would share the source code with you:

# Snatch the number of CPU Core(s) / threads the end user has.

What does it look like in principal?
Launching thread #32: Populating Ultimate Edition Theme: 5.7 (RUNNING INSTANCES: 31)

Oh, that is right I am writing software to make all our themes perfect & I do mean perfect. Why not take advantage of CPU cores? I am a CPU rapeist. I highly suggest you pay attention to the code. Cores will only increase here going forward. They have maxed out on your GHZ, unless you want to drop Liquid Nitrogen on your chip. I am right. Why do you think AMD is so successful? Brought the Giant down, as soon as software catches up, I just provided you an example above.

Do not think Intel is now heading that way. They will make “chiplets” and stear away from monolithic design. Even though Intel said in the past, a stupid design by AMD. Eat it Intel. Yes, I also know 3D stacking of chips err chiplets are inbound.

You will find out I am very knowledgeable. I have a Genius IQ.

TheeMahn,

Want to see how things work around here? While you may think is a simple accomplishment. It is far from that. I built all themes took me over an hour to do so on a 16 core / 32 Thread AMD Ryzen 3950X on triple Raided Sabrent Rockets PCIE 4.0, capable of 16 GB a second. From Ultimate Edition 2.0 to Ultimate Edition 6.9 theme. 170 Debian packages, Grub, theme and Plymouth. Autonomously. I opened a can of worms…

I opened up threads. Why one at a time if you have 32 CPU threads? This is called Parallel processing. Taking what use to take over an hour and turn it into 2 minutes and seven seconds? I will share my code, do not sweat that. What happens if you only have a quad core? it will only launch 3 instances. What if you have a 128 core / 256 thread Epyc? Would launch 256 threads, however it would run out at 170 as that is the number of debs it built. I would love to see those results I am sure in seconds.

It is not done, just takes me much less time to see results. I really do not understand why programmers do not take advantage of CPU Cores. No, pun Windows is the worst.

Honesty, Intel wants to GHZ per core on antiquated technology. All 4 of them. The rig I have beats down even their entire server line.

Do you think Intel wins in Gaming? 9900KS, I laughed about that as a 9900 Keep Spending. I smoke their XE (which is an 18 core). I just told you I take down the heaviest server they currently possess & I do not have a thread ripper or an Epyc. AMD is years ahead of them.

Look at this:
Intel Xeon Gold 6248R @ 3.00GHz Cores: 24 Threads: 48 I eat it for breakfast. That is only a  $3,112.03 USD chip, makes me feel better for paying $811.00 for my chip. Today, much less. I went though hell to get that 3950X. Sold out twice. $811.00 well spent. Where are we today? “Big Navi” is coming, do I need to buy one? I do not care about games. I do have dual 43″ 4K monitors, not TV’s. I can request them to split into quad 1080p each monitor, yes 8 screens. Like PIP (Picture In picture).

Let’s see what Ampere bring to the table and AMD’s reaction (this would be the thing I worry about NVidia) Want honesty? Don’t worry about that. Worry about them taking over your datacenter. Big Navi was developed, not to win the hearts of Gamers, but strip money from your cash cow in the server world. I will be straight if you see one come online using HBM you are screwed. Want me to tell you about HBN Next? You can take your GDDR6X and toss it to the curb.

I do want you to remember, while Expensive HBM was developed via AMD. Not a problem in the server market. Where the charge expungement amounts of money. Let me buy a $30,000 video card, I mean just one. Think about that. NVidia gets hit there, they are done. We are talking Billions of dollars. I am saying AMD has them. I am glad the upped their game to GDDR6X, too little too late. You do know Ampere will be released before “Big Navi”? See if I am right. I have never been wrong.

Where is that $500 market share going? It is coming to AMD land. Do not forget AMD is about to suck up consoles. Just in-time for the holiday. Sit at home playing on your PS5. While I make bank & I am not a Gamer.

Most of you guys have not listened to me. Buy, Buy, buy AMD. I got in at $6.97 a share. What is it today? I will tell you this it is the #1 stock traversed in the world. Weak hands selling it in millions a day & kicking them selves in the ass. I am in for the long ride.

When I do retire, I will not hurt for money.

TheeMahn,

I don’t want to say I started writing software, because I have been writing it for some time now. I wrote an “sub-application” in tmosb called “uetheme” that automates theme creation. I am trying to think of the future & it built Ultimate Edition 6.7 theme from the ground up automously. Yes, indeed a Grub theme, Plymouth Theme & desktop theme GTK 2, XFCE, GTK3 etc. Powerful, I understand.

I am uploading a Ultimate Edition 6.7 Lite lol. The initial build was just that. I went back added full, server and extra. I did not use maximum compression, so I could toss a ton more in it. I am not going to release it to the general populus, however if you feel frosty and want to test it I dropped it on one of our servers.

It is not small by any means 4.4GB, I wanted to demonstrate I can go anyway I want. I could double the software, however this one will run smoothly live or otherwise. It is KDE based, so it is resource hungry. I would not even think about playing with it unless you have at least 4GB of memory. NVidia Support is there and will be in every release going forward in any Operating System I build here forward. Last time I checked I am the leading programmer and founder.

Let’s get on to the juicy details:
Oh, that is right I am not releasing it, other then the brave. Do not think that is final.

I will not rob you of MD5sums:

root@JackHammer:/media/Rocket_Raid/wip# md5sum ultimate-edition-6.7-x64-lite.iso
d4e658f6f6c64e54cb5b3652ee1997e5 ultimate-edition-6.7-x64-lite.iso
root@JackHammer:/media/Rocket_Raid/wip#

I have not found the error in my software or what could be the Desktop Environment YET. I suggest when it boots up select Breeze Dark as a “Global Theme” then select Ultimate Edition 6.7 to see where I am heading.

Why did I say lite when I built it? I only want 6.7 theme in it same happens when you build a gamers. Keep space low. To allow for more games for example. Gamers rips out tmosb it-self, you are not building Operating Systems, you are playing games. That is funny, did you know when I released 6.6 Gamers had only one yes one mirror 14 today, but lived on 1 for a week. Thousand 84 Downloads at 4.4 GB of data. Do the math on that one. We do not calculate my traffic. When you do something right they will come. Thanks again Sourceforge.

Wait until you see what I am bringing to the table. I have said this before. I will take down 1,000 programmers at a time. This is not my first rodeo. I was writing AI software years before they even knew what it was.

Honestly, think about it. Petabytes are gone. Exobytes, just Sorceforge. Think about it I have seen in the past a professor of a college tell me a Terabyte a day & ask me if he should set up a second computer? Today data flows quite well.

Once again I will not rob you. I wrote an application called uetheme told you that earlier (a part of tmosb) that Autonomously develops themes, ever seen Ultimate Edition 2.0 theme on Ultimate Edition 6.6 for example? That is now a reality & work in progress. All computer generated. 3 at a time Theme, Grub and Plymouth theme. None are final. I am still working out bugs in the software. Once fixed, will flawlessly generate every theme.

Do not think for one second those themes do not support XFCE, Mate etc.

Those will be linked as well, all 11 of them, 12 if you include 0. I can remember did Ultimate Edition 4.2 ever support KDE? It does now. They will all be small files when I am done. Software is King, got to love automation in software development… Flawlessly. I will never develop a theme again. From here autonomously.

TheeMahn,

Just became a reality. Most people would think I do it for the money. No, I do not even accept donations, I do give homage to those that have donated in the past, try and find a donation button on that page. The Wifey would like you to believe I write software for power. No, once again. I do it to advance mankind. I have many tools in works.

You do know I hate Intel & now you if you did not know I HATE NVIDIA more then Intel. Fanboy no, the first computer I built was AMD a DX-40 at the time and pretty much solid AMD from that point on. I bet you did not know this back then the motherboard could take an AMD CPU or an Intel CPU. Just an adjustment of pins then. Things have vastly changed.

This is a very special post. I own a ROG (Republic of Gamers) Laptop integrated Intel CPU and Intel Graphics as well a 1050 Nvidia Video card for gaming. Never could I get it to install Ultimate Edition goodness, that is until today!!!

I would call this a special post. How did this transpire? Mr. Breeg one of my leading Admin had started dabbling in Zorin O/S. Why? He was forced to buy an NVidia card, best buy had 0 AMD cards (probably sold out). Ultimate Experience gone. Evidently, Ultimate Edition does not play well with NVidia Graphics.

I have rectified that, how? I pulled in Zorin O/S, re-built the Nvidia deb exported it and took it up a notch. They may want my source code. This is an Open Source world. I am here to help.

My Rog now rocks Ultimate Edition & does not have one AMD part in it. This is going to open a world of Ultimate Edition. I have not started putting it on the net yet. Rest assured it is happening. I may have left a couple of things out. It is a ROG I built a Gamers Edition for it with “Maximum compression” It just scrolls & scrolls by with the number of games. It is no Joke. I thought about uploading a Video of it building / testing, nah we will wait. Huge doors are about to open.

Testing first.

TheeMahn,

I just opened a new can of whip ass. Deepin? Ever heard of it? It will be the Operating System in China. Pretty. Desktop Environment to be honest. I have not started digging into it yet. I will adjust it to be USA friendly. Just a DE (Desktop Environment). I do have software that changes things at a blink of an eye.

Evidently, Ubuntu likes to think so.

I will not have you in the brink. I will adjust it massively. Lets start at Alpha.
I have been told my alpha releases should be final, we have not got there yet. Not close to what I would call a beta. I am providing you a chance to check it out openly.

I did not use compression=maximum, still sucked up 4.5 GB (uncompressed today).

I would not install it, nothing wrong with checking it out.
total size is 4,072,335,360 bytes That will go way down when I am done.

You will have to wait while it mirrors. I am going to bed, I have to work at my other job.

Oh, no not again. I get tired of upgrading websites. Guess where this website is at? That would be the basement… I have already compresses the 9.1 GB of data downloaded it and shoved it to the basement at over 600 MB a sec. Took I think 14 Seconds: Starting upload of /home/theemahn/forumubuntusoftware.info.tar.gz
Status: File transfer successful, transferred 9.1 GB in 14 seconds.

SSH in impregnated the database & running on the 12 Core / 24 thread server in the basement. Look at the 192.168.1.13 address, the forum is offline until I complete the object at hand, will I set the server online? From the basement? I promise you faster then any server I have ever paid for in the past. This one I do not have to pay for it is paid for in full. Unlimited please. A AMD 3900X on a x570 with 60TB of space. It is no slouch. I do have 2 X AMD 32 core opterons offline, down there as well. Almost makes me feel like a hosting company.

Probably wondering why I am looking for a lawyer. If I can see it so can you. My Wifey has domestic Violence on her record from yes get this 25 years ago a M1 (misdeminor 1) violent crimes do not go away. They call it a “no bill”. Never convicted of it, but still on her record. Total Bullshit. Pay to get it expunged. A fight with her sister. 25 YEARS AGO.

Funny, felonies go away in 7 years. I had 7 of them all are gone. Child support, what were they thinking there? Took my Drivers License first so I could not find a job, they did not stop took my second house I bought, then gave me a felony, to ensure I could not get a job. All that is gone now. I honestly can not say that they screwed with my un-employment as well, actually locked it up, apologized & sent me a check.

I bet you are wondering what the other 6 are. Criminal Tools X 3, Fraud X 3. I cashed a check from a company I used to own & pre-dominantly why I no longer accept money from you even as a donation.

A fella ordered for his hotel. Roughly $3,000 worth of shit. In bedding. Comforters etc. Sent me U.S. Postal Money orders for the transaction. They were fraudulent. Sent me 3 X $1,000 US postal money orders. The end resolve? A pen I used to sign the checks is called a criminal tool. 3X, fraud? I did not know. I am glad that is behind me. I shut down that company, did you know they wanted to fly me to California to put me on TV I did have the highest in sales across the board. I was making PHAT Money then, as I sleep. Still charged that is solid BS.

Takes one bad apple.

It is no longer on my record, any of it. Did I have to tell you no. My mother always taught me honesty is always the best policy.

Yes, I am still TheeMahn

I thought I would share the building of Ultimate Edition 6.9 Minimal Server running Ultimate Edition 6.9 Developer (also un-released currently). Based on Groovy Gorilla base. No GUI (Graphical User Interface) here, less resource hungry. I will not release it until it is installed on a server in the basement. Which one? It is not definitive yet.

Server #2: 32 Core AMD Opteron shutdown currently

Server #3: 32 Core AMD Opteron shutdown currently

Did you know shutting down Server #2 & #3 my electric bill went down substantially. Like running a microwave 24/7 & they are nasty loud (5 X 10,000 RPM fans each), the reason I threw them in the basement to begin with.

Wifey won’t let me buy more RAM (Random Access Memory) currently, in case you wonder why I am struggling in the memory department. I have been dumping money into the house. Server #3 has 128GB of ram if ram becomes a real issue. I will fire it up and put it to work. Took me 22 seconds to build the actual O/S & while benchmarking a drive, jamming out, and recording the video itself . That is nasty fast. How do you like my animated wallpapers? I wrote a package for that as well. Big things are coming.

WOW! That is a fast computer! No, a AMD Threadripper (didn’t the godfather of Linux just buy one of them) would make that look like a joke, same with an AMD Epic. A new ERA in computers is also inbound. The big difference and also why Linux has been gaining ground? Linux will use 128 Cores, thousands to be honest with you. Intel has corrupted you into thinking a quad core is enough for 10 years. I wonder why I am an AMD man. Call me a fanboy all you want. NVidia is next. Did you know I bought shares in AMD at $6.97 a share, how are they doing today as the rest of the market crashes thanks to COVID-19? Wait until the Playstation 5 drops & the new XBOX drops sporting AMD hardware, Your cellphone is also on the chopping block. NVidia will soon look like a pathetic joke. I do have a Genius I.Q. Even if I am drinking. I drink to dumb it down. Did you know next year I have been writing software for 40 Years? Building Operating Systems since 2006. If you are new to gaming I recommend you not spending so much money, a cheap gaming headset and a cheap computer can be enough.

The server side of AMD is $51 Billion dollars a year. Intel has nothing a Thread Ripper can take down from the fastest Intel Server. I have not told you how fast an AMD Epyc is at 128 Cores. They are taking Market share from Intel in large scale & big money. 3 or 4 years ago, Intel Fanboys gave me crap, welcome to reality. Nvidia a new pill is coming & it is called reality it will be hard to swallow.

Facts are facts.

Fun facts,

TheeMahn

Not you, certain applications. I have started working on applications into tmosb (TheeMahn’s Operating System Builder) to ban an application from being installed. Don’t worry after it finishes building the Operating System removes the Ban, so you will be able to install it if you like.

What applications?

The above Function functioned perfectly, just too damn slow & I don’t like to wait for anything.

Package not available? Find it and rebuild the array, in one clean sweep.

QuestForSpeed () {
HOLD=$(apt-mark hold fonts-noto-*)
HOLD=$(apt-mark hold snapd)
Why?
Font-noto in compressed size is 1/2 a GB, plenty of other fonts are available.
I hate snap another bloated piece of software. I am not the only one that feels this way. I do not care if Linux mint accepts their software or not, this fella will not.

I did buy a few toys, Operating Systems are being built with the quickness. Pretty close to a $700.00 upgrade to my main rig. I wanted to drop it in the server, but have ran out of PCIE 4.0 slots for now. One in video and one in 20 Gigabit networking. This is a server, I do not care about Video. I will eventually replace it with a 4.0 1X and drop the NVME’s in a 4.0 X 16 slot.

Do not think for a second 4 X NVME’S will not push over 20 GB/s. That is not gigabits, that is GigaBytes. Noted by the big “B”. Write speed I am working on optimizing. Funny, in Windows I get 8.7GB/s write speed off 2 Rockets. Plenty of room for improvement. I am eventually going to replace the Inland NVME. I get 4.3 GB/s from it, when I mix it with the Rockets slows everything right down.

TheeMahn,
