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%.

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...

Qubes OS: First Impressions

A few days ago, while browsing security topics online, Qubes OS surfaced—whether via YouTube recommendations or search results, I can't recall precisely. Intrigued by its unique approach to security through compartmentalization, I delved into the documentation and watched some demos. My interest was piqued enough that I felt compelled to install it and give it a try firsthand. My overall first impression of Qubes OS is highly positive. Had I discovered it earlier, I might have reconsidered starting my hardware password manager project. Conceptually, Qubes OS is not much different from running a bunch of virtual machines simultaneously. However, its brilliance lies in the seamless desktop integration and the well-designed template system, making it far more user-friendly than a manual VM setup. I was particularly impressed by the concept of disposable VMs for temporary tasks and the clear separation of critical functions like networking (sys-net) and USB handling (sys-usb) into the...

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...
