MushyRoom··on Unreal Tournament 99 running on WASM (2017)
Self hosted communities. I can still play on ~5 CS 1.6 servers where the same people hang out since 20 years.
MushyRoom··on Why championship chess sets are so expensive
I don't know who this 7min square video is directed at - hosted on twitter the worst video platform on the internet (scroll stop video)
MushyRoom··on What a gas stove ban means for restaurants
Yeah what is 3. This smells like never used induction before.

Yes! TX-NR609 (11yrs old) here. Send in for repair (recall - free out of warranty) and no problems ever since.
MushyRoom··on Google removes Pirate Bay domains from search results citing Dutch court order
The easiest way is to look here at the transparency report [1].

Which makes it easy to find new Piracy websites [2].

It only mentions the TLD not the URL

MushyRoom··on Postgres Full-Text Search: A search engine in a database
It's just a project to learn all the things that are web. It's mainly a database for a game now with most of the information sourced from the game (including its localization files).

I'm slowly transitioning from MariaDB to Postgres - again as a learning experience. There is cool stuff and there is annoying stuff to reproduce things like case-insensitive + ignore accents (utf8_general_ci) in Postgres.

I've looked into FTS and searching for missing dictionaries to support all the locales but Chinese is one of the harder ones.

MushyRoom··on Postgres Full-Text Search: A search engine in a database
I was hyped when I found out about it a while ago. Then I wasn't anymore.

When you have 12 locales (kr/ru/cn/jp/..) it's not that fun anymore. Especially on a one man project :)
