杂记 | Misc Notes

1.gnome-shell 默认按一下winkey会出main menu, 这问题不大，但是其他我设的winkey+..的快捷键很多不能用了。比如f和空格都不行，但是t可以，很诡异。 解决办法是
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2.python的urllib记得是直接直接支持https的，但是不能验证证书（据说以后会实现的）。于是我找到了m2cypto这个模块，里面包装了urllib，证书有问题时会抛异常，但是证书没问题时会卡死。。。后来想了想，还是调用wget比较靠谱

3.gnome 3的控制面板里找不到startup applications了，但是可以直接运行gnome-session-properties

4.maximus：一个小软件，可以去掉最大化窗口的标题栏，配合gnome shell很不错。

5./usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js还有panel.js可以对gnome shell顶部条进行hack，比如我把Activities改了名，自定义了时钟格式，去掉了accessibility图标。


1. By deault press the winkey once in gnome-shell will call up the main menu, this is not a big problem, but some shortcuts 'winkey + somekey' I set are not functional. For example 'f' and 'space' do not work, however 't' works, weird. To solve it:
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2. The urllib in python support https links, but it does not validate the certificates (some say that this will be implemented in the future). So I found the m2cypto module, it wraps urllib, and an exception will be thrown when there is problem with the certificate, however it sometimes went stuck when nothing wrong... Later I realized that it would be good just to call 'wget'

3. I cannot find 'Startup Application' in the gnome control center, but I can still run gnome-session-properties

4. maximus: a small tool that eliminate the title bar of maximized windows, looks quite good with gnome-shell.

5. Through the files /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js & panel.js we can hack the top bar of gnome shell, for example I renamed 'Activities', customized the datetime format, and removed the accessibility icon.

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...
