  • Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.

    Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It’s a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here’s 220v, but it is different state to state.

    For tea? Just put some water in the electric kettle and hear the click sound.

    It changed my life, and changed a lot of peoples lives, because when I talk to my coworkers, all of them have the same opinion. It’s just a time saver, but damn, an amazing time saver.





  • Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.

    I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.











  • For the setup:

    Final Edit: The wine prefix is the same for the games and the installer, just a windows subsystem that has all the dependencies.

    First I install the wine-cachyos package, create a WINEPREFIX variable for the folder i want to put the prefix in, then i run winecfg to start the prefix, then I install the dotnet packages and vcredist packages through (before, when the repos existed) these links for the vcredist and dotnet (maybe archive.org or somewhere else still have the executables), or using winetricks too, but these are nicer to use as they install everything in one go.

    Then I install the dxvk and vkd3d (you can install through lutris, so this is kinda useless hahaha).

    Then I run the fitgirl repack through lutris and click to install the vcredist or .net when asked.

    Then I just run the game with a runner or wine-cachyos.

    I’ll update this with valid links when I find them.

    Edit: last time I used this and this, installing just the .net runtimes, not directx, java, silverlight, etc.














  • it wasn’t funny in any way, but JSHITBOSS “microservice” (it was a jboss service with one microservice inside, in a kubernetes pod, with only one core, tell me about redundancy). Service classes with over 2000 lines of code, it shouldn’t even be called spaghetti code, more like lasagna code, the pasta came in layers, separation of concerns was a mere suggestion, code was not thread safe (and it needed to be), but there was only 40 Ejbs for each “stateless” service inside de EAR, so number go up, code goes better.

    I refactored it, it’s now in the glorious quarkus 3.27, on virtual threads and java 21, not hyperbole, but 5x more throughput and you don’t need 7 phds in italian cousine.

    Edit: I also saw, in Angular, the infamous:

    if (variable === true || variable === 'true' || variable === "true") {
