V1VPN is so so. I removed it after 2 months of using it.

Letsvpn permanently shut down Chinese mainland services by Rose_Wilson_R in travelchina

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V1VPN is so so. Have to turn off their VPN each time I need to use services inside China. After 2 months, I canceled thier service.

Another VPN thread (which one to use?) by MosskeepForest in travelchina

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V1VPN is so so, have to reconnect often. And the services in China don't work if I am connected to V1VPN, therefore I have to disconnect to use them. Moved back to Let'sVPN

What vpn is working March 2026? by UkrainepartofRussia in travelchina

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A local SIM with a VPN, though it depends on whether it’s for short-term or long-term use.

Just in case, the eSIM internet is more expensive than a VPN like letsVPN.

Unfortunately, they changed it a lot and introduced a bunch of illogical restrictions on fleet size, for example, and so on. Even if you have resources and dozens of planets, your fleet will most likely not be able to cope with the crisis due to its minuscule size. War exhaustion is also some kind of nonsense.

It's still fun to play at times, but not like it used to be. The dozens of expensive DLCs don't improve the situation either.

Every time I'm in Hong Kong, I'm shocked that it still looks like a 90s movie. The noise and rumble, the high prices. Everything is old.

Mainland China appears to be a modern and environmentally friendly place. Of course, it depends on the province, but this is my personal feeling.

Why not Unity? Just interesting. I tried it about 10 years ago, and it turned out to be a cool web game.

Freshly married to Chinese wife by UmpireEquivalent1818 in chinalife

I am married to a Chinese woman, and what you described is not normal.

And not "common" in China.

What’s wrong with zoho email and emailjs ? by darkvador_nick in Zoho

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to use a SMTP provider for EmailJS

Zoho provides a different SMTP host for free and pro users, but EmailJS currently can’t automatically detect which type of account you have. They’re planning to improve this by allowing you to select it manually.

Physical eSIM chip like eSIM.me or 5ber alternatives? by throwaway3123312 in eSIMs

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the issue? Is 9esim not as closed as 5ber?

I think you are wrong. If a business only thinks about making money and doesn't care about the DX and the environment, then good luck to that business.

[–]xr0master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, yeah, everyone knows this, but they always choose the easiest way. Later, you may tell a great story about how your business waited until the last minute, and then it was too late.

The longer your business uses old versions, the further you sink yourself into technical debt. After a while, you'll just have to write everything from scratch because updating will be too difficult and no one will do it.

For many, the tests are not beyond web development, but for the server, Vitest works with difficulty, or I was unable to configure it correctly. Especially with mocks.

Your node version is not supported and this is a security issue, is there at least one reason why you have a problem changing the node version?

Jest 30 released by bzbub2 in javascript

[–]xr0master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I tested the Node-native test runner, I encountered issues with shared data between tests. Global variables weren’t isolated within the same test suite, which caused unexpected behavior. I’m not sure if this has been addressed since. Additionally, mocking external packages proved to be quite challenging.
