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...

Chasing an IO Phantom

My home server has been weird since months ago, it just becomes unresponsive occassionally. It is annoying but it happens only rarely, so normally I'd just wait or reboot it. But weeks ago I decided to get to the bottom of it. What's Wrong My system set up is: Root: SSD, LUKS + LVM + Ext4 Data: HDD, LUKS + ZFS 16GB RAM + 1GB swap Rootless dockerd The system may become unresponsive, when the IO on HDD  is persistantly high for a while. Also: Often kswapd0 has high CPU High IO on root fs (SSD) From dockerd and some containers RAM usage is high, swap usage is low It is very strange that IO on HDD can affect SSD. Note that when this happens, even stopping the IO on HDD does not always help. Usually restarting dockerd does not help, but rebooting helps. Investigation: Swap An obvious potential root cause is the swap. High CPU on kswapd0 usually means the free memory is low and the kernel is busy exchanging data between disk and swap. However, I tried the following steps, none of the...

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...
