6年博客回顾

这个blog写了6年了，还依稀记得当初促使我开始写blog的那次事故，那次真的是惊心动魄。

回顾一下以往的文章，这几年里发文数量和长度都是指数级递减，但愿质量没有一起下滑。不过这未必是坏事，至少说明了两件事情：

我的水平在提高，很多问题已经不值得写blog来积累了
技术在进步，我遇到的问题越来越少了

的确这六年里发生了很大变化：

Blogger改版了，终于有了ReadMore功能，我的脚本可以退休了
Ubuntu越来越靠谱了，越来越不需要折腾了
很多我喜欢的旧技术被淘汰或即将被淘汰：flock，python2, Google Desktop, Google Notebook, 各种Linux QQ
很多新技术诞生发展壮大，但总感觉跟我不沾边：智能手机，微博，微信，Windows 8

不变的是我还是喜欢折腾技术，宁可看上一天C++文档也不想看微博上各种“今天我又郁闷了”。

Blog也换个主题好了。

各位看官，如果你知道我认识你，而你又有技术blog的话，烦请（再）发我一次地址。估计之前Google Reader里手抖，误删了许多。。。

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...
