Cairo-Clock 桌面时钟

这是个挺不错的小时钟, 有多种皮肤.

我这里一开始时钟周围有圈黑边, 不爽, 后来查到了解决方案

安装xcompmgr, 然后先于cairo-clock运行即可

原文说要修改/etc/X11/xorg.conf, 加入
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

但我这里不需要修改这个就可以去掉黑圈

不过还有一个问题,就是这样运行xcompmgr后,点击右上方关机选项按钮后屏幕就没反应, 网上很多人称之为"死锁", 实际不是, 我发现是本该出现的关机选项没有显示,但是还是在屏幕上的对应位置, 如果用鼠标摸索的点,仍然可以重启,关机等.

试了几个xcompmgr的命令后发现不是和黑框出现就是关机选项消失,总之还没有解决.
不过先这样把, 反正我用命令行关机. :)

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Chasing an IO Phantom

My home server has been weird since months ago, it just becomes unresponsive occassionally. It is annoying but it happens only rarely, so normally I'd just wait or reboot it. But weeks ago I decided to get to the bottom of it. What's Wrong My system set up is: Root: SSD, LUKS + LVM + Ext4 Data: HDD, LUKS + ZFS 16GB RAM + 1GB swap Rootless dockerd The system may become unresponsive, when the IO on HDD  is persistantly high for a while. Also: Often kswapd0 has high CPU High IO on root fs (SSD) From dockerd and some containers RAM usage is high, swap usage is low It is very strange that IO on HDD can affect SSD. Note that when this happens, even stopping the IO on HDD does not always help. Usually restarting dockerd does not help, but rebooting helps. Investigation: Swap An obvious potential root cause is the swap. High CPU on kswapd0 usually means the free memory is low and the kernel is busy exchanging data between disk and swap. However, I tried the following steps, none of the...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article.  I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
