gnome桌面便笺 | best sticky note application

最近需要搞个桌面上的todo list， 以前是用screenlets，现在不用了，而且为一个插件就开这个庞然大物太浪费了。

我在用gnote，但是这个不适合放在桌面上。gnome-panel的一个小插件也是sticky note，但是不能锁定在桌面上，一点就消失了。

另外搜到的xpad，但是我这里有bug，一个灰色的窗口，什么都么有。网上搜到了解决的patch，但是不想折腾了。

最后看到某人论坛留言： 在桌面建一个文本文件，然后把图标放大。。。顿时豁然开朗，一开始遇到这个特性时还觉得有些烦人，但是现在需要时反而想不起来了。。。

效果不错，缺点是不能弄太多文字。

Recently I found that I need a sticky note on my desktop. I used screenlets before, but not anymore now. It's a waste to enable it only for such a gadget.

Now I'm using gnote, which is rather a nice software, but it's not suitable for 'sticky' notes. There's also a stickynote applet for gnome-panel, but I don't know how to attach the notes to desktop -- every time I click somewhere, the notes disappear.

I googled some software called 'xpad', but on my computer it's nothing but a gray empty window -- an annoying bug, although I've googled a patch for this, I've got no feeling for it.

Finally I got someone's comment on some bbs -- "create a paint text file on the desktop, and then stretch the icon large enough..." -- that's it! It was quite an annoying feature to me at the first time, but now I cannot even remember it when I do need it now...

This trick works well, except for that there cannot be too many words.

A Rocky Migration: Moving from docker-compose to Podman and gVisor

I've been running a few containers for several years. They were all running under rootless Docker with a single user. Initially, I planned to  migrate the containers to VMs , but I couldn't get a stable workflow after about two months of effort. Later,  gVisor caught my attention , and I decided to migrate to Podman with gVisor instead. The new plan is to run each container with  --userns=auto  and use Quadlet for systemd integration. This approach provides better isolation and makes writing firewall rules easier. I'm now close to migrating all my containers. Here are a couple of rough edges I'd like to share. Network Layout I compared  various networking options  and spent a few hours trying the one-interface-per-group approach before giving up. I settled on a single macvlan network and decided to use static IP addresses for my containers. To prevent a randomly assigned IP address from conflicting with a predefined one, I allocated a large IP range for my ...

GameConqueror 0.09 -- Linux Game Hacking Tool

If you are a game hacker If you've been looking for a `CheatEngine for Linux` Then you can't miss this. ============================================== GameConqueror is a game hacking tool for linux, it's written in PyGTK and uses scanmem as its backend. It's supposed to be with most useful features of CheatEngine for Linux. Currently, I've implemented almost everything about scanning, involving variant data types and scan types: Data Types: int{8/16/32/64}, float{32/64}, unknown type(int or float) and unknown width(will try each of them), byte array and string Scan Types: equal, greater, less, changed, unchanged, increased(by), decreased(by) This should be enough for most cases, so I decided to release it at the current status. ============================================= Here's how you can get it PPA (for Ubuntu users) https://launchpad.net/~coolwanglu/+archive/scanmem (I've not test it in 32bit environments or Jaunty, do please inform me if it doe...

Fix Google Security Code

Google Security Code (http://g.co/sc) is one type of 2-step verification. This is particularly useful when security keys and passkeys are not available. I have been using it in my LXC containers, until today I found out that it stopped working. It just kept saying "The code is invalid". It is easy to rule out some factors: The code works on other browsers on my laptop. The code works on other devices that are directly connected to the router. So it appears that Google also checks IP addresses besides the security code. Recently I have IPv6 enabled, so most devices that are directly connected to the router have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But  I only enabled IPv4 for my LXC containers. So I guess when a code is generated by device A and used by device B, Google should be able to check that device A and device B are closely located. But in my case, IPv6 address appears on device A but not on device B, which may look suspicious. To fix the problem, I just needed to disable IPv...
