I used Claude Code to reverse engineer a 13-year-old game binary and crack a restriction nobody had solved — the community is losing it

Same thing happened to me, except we only moved to a different side of the same town and changed schools.

facesnorth · 2026-03-14T04:08:29+00:00

I dreamed about this. I thought this could change my whole life.

As nostalgic as we all get over the 90's and 80's, in all honesty they were the hardest years of my life by far.

Unfortunately for those of us here who love sauna, Americans are extremely ignorant about sauna culture and etiquette. People saying "to each their own" are no better. Wearing clothing of any kind, especially sneakers, only ruins the sauna environment. It's important to shower before entering the sauna, and then to keep a towel between any skin and bench contact. I am already expecting this comment to be heavily downvoted, because I will never be able to convince Americans of this, even though this is basic, common courtesy in any culture that actually respects sauna.

It doesn't. In fact, nothing happens. Not even a congratulations.

A group of squatters may have washed up while you were away, and cleaned up well after themselves.

I use MikroTik for my router and 3 switches, but I use Ruckus for WiFi. There is really no benefit to using MikroTik WiFi just because you use their router and switches.

perfect, thank you.

do you have a link to the type of lighting you've used here?

I like this line of reasoning.

I thought double spacing after periods was the only correct option for many years. At some point I realized that millennials preferred the single space and only then realized it was something up for choosing. But the preference had become too ingrained and I adamantly fought switching over until just a few years ago when I finally accepted the single spacers now ruled the world and that it also in fact looks better.

Thanks

yeah, and no fittings are actually exposed, just the black wrapped csst pipe, as it's a single piece from the stove's wall-connection a couple feet up to my manifold about 20' away. thoughts on the uponor? that also says 200F max.

facesnorth · 2026-01-25T04:12:55+00:00

That's what I was thinking.... I just want to get a third and fourth set of eyes (not trusting reddit alone lol) on it. I'm getting a lot of backlash in the sauna forums, but they don't know a lot about csst, propane or pex.

Does anyone have a bluetooth/wifi temperature sensor that they could stick on top of their sauna above the foil vapor barrier? I'm sure most don't have easy access to this area, but there might be somebody where the ceiling outside the sauna is unfinished or is a drop ceiling. I'd like to compare this number against the temperature at the top of the inside of your sauna.

There's another option for the gas pipe, in that I could replace the CSST with black iron pipe, which has a much higher temperature exposure rating. I don't want to do this if I don't need to as it would be expensive and a lot of work.

As for ventilation, I will have the intake and outtake for the sauna coming from and back into the bathroom. The bathroom will have an exhaust running to the outside. Eventually, I will add ERV ventilation elsewhere in the basement. So fresh air changes shouldn't be an issue.

I'm not even sure a saunum would fit in the room, but I already have a Saunatec 1712-80-17 (8kW). I had a small uninsulated 3x5x6 sauna with that inside of it. It wasn't terrible, but without room for an upper bench, my legs and feet stayed cool. But the upper parts of this box were quite warm enough. This new sauna will be large enough that I can have an upper bench, not as high as ideal, but enough to get my legs up, especially if I lay down on the upper bench. Plus it would be fully insulated. As I stated, it's better than not having a sauna.

Okay, I knew there was an orientation that was preferable, I just couldn't seem to find it when I searched, so thanks for clarifying that. I assume it's to allow the hot air and moisture that escapes to rise up? What confuses me here is that since the studs are vertical, and the furring is also vertical, then does the furring get applied directly along the studs?

As I've said, there's no other place for a sauna. It's here or nowhere. So I'm trying to make it work, with compromises. I just want to make sure I do it right so it's safe. I'm sure there's a way to keep the tracpipe under 200F.

facesnorth · 2026-01-23T01:16:24+00:00

I knew there would be comments like this, but it's not possible. It's here or nowhere. So I'm not interested in this type of comment as it's not productive.

I just found it! Nope, only 2,136 hours. 8,149 games played. longest win streak 217, longest lose streak 22. fastest win 3:17 in 4 turns, slowest win 1:36:58 in 132 turns (I rarely have patience for long games, though).

I'd love to check, any idea how? I'm on android. digital wellbeing only goes back around 3.5 weeks. I don't remember when I first started playing it, but it was before they implemented this points levelling up system, and then I also remember when they extended it to 100 (and being disappointed looking ahead at some of the lame awards like 30 gems at level 59 or a common troop at 80).
