Got to learn Shopware (the eCommerce thingy written in PHP) for the job.

Bought a book worth ~60$.

The author writes: "Use vagrant it's soooooo comfy and cozy and everything!".

Sure, why not.

Got to get online over my smartphone.

Cloned the repo with the Vagrantfile.

Did a 'vagrant up'.

Downloaded the Ubuntu box of around 1.5 GB (reminder: over my smartphone which has around 3 GB 'highspeed' internet connection).

Vagrant initialized and provisioned the box.

Error.

Error?

Error.

VT-X is not enabled. Hm. Strange. Wait...when it's not enabled, can it be that...

Yep.

THIS SHITTY LAPTOP SCHMAPTOP DOES NOT SUPPORT VT-X AND I PULVERIZED JUST THE HALF OF MY INTERNET DATA FOR THIS SHITTY BOX IN ORDER TO JUST DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE AND INSTALL IT OLDSCHOOL-SCHMOLDSCHOOL INSTALL A APACHE VIRTUAL HOST.

Time for new hardware I think.

    @linuxxx Thank you! After successfully setting up a virtual host and installing the whole thing I was then unable to download the shop demo data - which means, that after 129 MB (yep, still smartphone) of around 250 MB the download stopped and automatically cancelled.

    I then just put the laptop aside and started cuddling my wife. And sobbed a bit. A little bit.

    @MonrealBalzac Where did you get that?

    @linuxxx What exactly? My laptop or my wife? 😁

    @MonrealBalzac The wife of course!

    @linuxxx I don't quite remember how a guy like me got to get such a wonderful woman like her but one's for sure:

    I did not get her via 'vagrant up'.

    @MonrealBalzac maybe you used "viagrant up"? ^^

    I don't know shopware. But e-commerce and php... I think devRant will need to upgrade their servers to handle the influx of rants from you in the near future.

    Why get knowledge from books when you have the internet? ;) You can't ctrl+f a book.

    @Nanos a book with a good index is a beautiful thing; they are hard to find, most times. As are ones with decent glossaries...

    @Nanos I can't hurt a book like that, though. I can't even write in them...
