清理Ubuntu软件包

我的小服务器上一直装了个Ubuntu Desktop，不过安装之后一直没用过GUI，而且各种依赖的包有时也挺烦人的，比如gvfs和tracker自带的systemd user service，我还得手动给若干用户禁用掉。

本来我是想着留个Desktop，万一紧急情况可以上网查查命令。不过有网的话，最差情况我应该也能临时装一个X和浏览器，估计问题不太大。

于是我决定把Ubuntu Desktop换成Ubuntu Server，主要还是把gnome的包都删了。

一番折腾以后，安装包的数量从大约1800降到了800以下。舒服！

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 ...

GameConqueror 0.09 -- Linux Game Hacking Tool

If you are a game hacker If you've been looking for a `CheatEngine for Linux` Then you can't miss this. ============================================== GameConqueror is a game hacking tool for linux, it's written in PyGTK and uses scanmem as its backend. It's supposed to be with most useful features of CheatEngine for Linux. Currently, I've implemented almost everything about scanning, involving variant data types and scan types: Data Types: int{8/16/32/64}, float{32/64}, unknown type(int or float) and unknown width(will try each of them), byte array and string Scan Types: equal, greater, less, changed, unchanged, increased(by), decreased(by) This should be enough for most cases, so I decided to release it at the current status. ============================================= Here's how you can get it PPA (for Ubuntu users) https://launchpad.net/~coolwanglu/+archive/scanmem (I've not test it in 32bit environments or Jaunty, do please inform me if it doe...

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...
