杂记 20130401

  • 之前evince的快捷键乱套了，使用
    rm ~/.config/evince/accels
    复位
  • 定义了变量var又不用的话，gcc会报warning"unused variable"，解法是
    (void)var;
  • VirtualBox中DNS不工作：运行
    VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natdnshostresolver1 on
    Ref 
  • 一个讲c++11右值引用的link：http://thbecker.net/articles/rvalue_references/section_01.html 
  • Linux清除disk cache: 
    sudo sh -c 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'
    Ref
  •  遇到错误screen-256color not found需要支持新的终端类型：找一台支持screen-256color的机器执行
    infocmp xterm-256color > screen-256color.ti
    把文件拷贝到目标机器后执行
    tic screen-256color.ti
    Ref
  •  最近从ibus换到了fcitx，起初是由于sogou发布了，不过后来还是卸掉了。anran主题不错。fcitx在firefox中光标跟随有点问题，按官方wiki说法打开preedit后就没事了。
  •  最近在vim里折腾youcompleteme这个补全插件，挺好用。顺便也装了vundle来管理插件，很不错
  •  vim更新.vimrc后想直接应用，执行
    so %

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...
