euph0riaon Show HN: I made a sandbox game to help with financial planning

I think it's pretty common in Sweden at least to pay rent to your parents that cover your cost (food + symbolic rent) if you have a job and you're done with high school + uni.

euph0riaon Show HN: I made a sandbox game to help with financial planning

It simulates real life pretty well:

- I have an unread email in the inbox but I can't find it

- The banks send me emails with no content in the body, some email glitch on their side

- I tried to buy a property, lost my solicitor's fee but never got the property

- There are no good jobs available except one underpaid junior position

- I pay way too much in tax compared to what I make

euph0riaon Google Play store bans polyamory dating app

The company I work for has forbidden the use of Google and their services such as GCP etc. due to how they treat their Play Store developers and other customer, in particular that there never seems to be any human being that you can talk to and find out what you need to do to fix the situation. We do not want the same to occur to our servers or if there is an overflow from Play Store ban to GCP etc. The business risk is too high when you rely on Google's services.

euph0riaon 40 Milliseconds of latency that just would not go away

Why not just use tcpdump or wireshark when troubleshooting network latencies? Usually only takes a minute or two to pinpoint the issue. Then you would need to spend time understanding why the pinpointed behavior is what it is and sometimes it is in the application, sometimes not.. I've solved so many issues over the years with tcpdump that it has become one of the most valuable tools I know.
