杂记 20120820 | Misc Notes 20120820

1. ifuse & ideviceinstaller 可以很好的查看和管理iOS的程序和目录，比windows方便多了。

2. c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\vitualstore\program files (x86)\ 是对Program Files的虚拟映射。有的程序会试图在自己安装目录写入文件，但是win7中普通用户没有权限，所以大概是为了兼容搞了这么个目录

3. ssh-keygen -l  查看自己的fingerprint

4. testdisk 一个非常强劲的磁盘工具。之前我的硬盘分区表乱掉了就是用这个工具复活的。

5. chrome某个版本显示中文句号只能显示一半。一个临时办法是放大到110%



1. ifuse & ideviceinstaller are great tools managing Apps and folders of iOS devices, which are much convenient than accessing them in Windows.

2. c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\vitualstore\program files (x86)\ is a virtual mapping to the "program files" folders. In Win 7, a program run as a normal user cannot write to its installation folder, but probably for compatibility, this virtual folder is provided.

3. ssh-keygen -l : to view the fingerprint of your ssh keys

4. testdisk is a very powerful tool for hard drive. Last time I messes up the partition table of my hard drive, and then fixed it using this tool

5. In some version of Chrome, the period symbol in Chinese cannot be displayed correctly. A workaround is to zoom in to 110%.

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 ...

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...

Exploring Immutable Distros and Declarative Management

My current server setup, based on Debian Stable and Docker, has served me reliably for years. It's stable, familiar, and gets the job done. However, an intriguing article I revisited recently about Fedora CoreOS, rpm-ostree, and OSTree native containers sparked my curiosity and sent me down a rabbit hole exploring alternative approaches to system management. Could there be a better way? Core Goals & Requirements Before diving into new technologies, I wanted to define what "better" means for my use case: The base operating system must update automatically and reliably. Hosted services (applications) should be updatable either automatically or manually, depending on the service. Configuration and data files need to be easy to modify, and crucially, automatically tracked and backed up. Current Setup: Debian Stable + Docker My current infrastructure consists of several servers, all running Debian Stable. System Updates are andled automatically via unattended-upgrades. Se...
