Recently I'm actively seeking replacement for telegram, since it's not reliable anymore (taking free user's account without any notification). I have tried matrix. It sounds good, but your experience mainly depends on your home server. I set up 3 accounts on matrix.opensuse.org, matrix.qoto.org and matrix.org. The experience is different. The matrix one is the default one, as expected, I need proxy to connect it, beside that, everything works fine. The qoto one is not that smooth, there are lags and errors during my test (matrix.org server cannot connect to the qoto server, I don't know why). The openSUSE one is pretty good, I use their matrix service for almost a year, and the most important thing is I can directly connect to it without using any proxy in China. So, I delete my other 2 accounts and keep using the opensuse one.

Today, Google play recommended me an app called ThreeMa. A one time paid app which offers a full anonymous communication. It don't need any private info to register (while matrix use email, opensuse server use their own SSO login). And it's also e2ee, just like matrix, it also support file, video call etc. And to my surprise, it's not banned in China, I can send message to the echo account without using any proxy (but might be blocked in the future).

I guess they are my current backup communication app for now.

(Also, Briar did a good job too, it can make communication happens only using Bluetooth, WiFi or internet over tor, but it only works on Android, and doesn't have any advance features, it's a good replacement when internet is down or we lose internet access like North Korea)

If I was doing the scammer 3.0, sorry, I mean web 3.0, I would create a series of fungible tokens for each picture the ai generated with the same prompt, and create an NFT for the prompt. Then let people auction the seed using that token. So they can purchase their own seed of the picture, using the token of the picture, to proof their dominance over the seed. And if you own all possible NFTs, then you own the prompt.

That's much better than 10 GBP for 1k standard generation.

The battery of my Razer laptop got swollen, again. This battery was only serviced for about 6 months. Of course, it's summer, and I always keep at least 30 chrome tabs and 4 VMs running in the background. The temperature in the case is always higher than 60 C, and most time it's 80 C, and I used the laptop 18 hours a day and 7 days per week. It has to be swollen, LOL.

Anyway, I think it's Razer's design issue. But considering the weight (~2KG) and the performance, I think it offers a desktop PC experience with just a slim laptop (before it gets too hot and throttled). That's the best laptop experience I have ever had. But the trade-off is high temperature and swollen battery, which needs to replace every 6 months.

During the fixing period, I installed an openSUSE Leap on my old HP OMEN laptop, the GTX1080 one (maybe the first gen?). And I have to say, it's not the golden year for Linux desktop users, but it's much better than several years ago, when I need to recompile the kernel just to install some audio/network driver. That's scary, you never know what will happen after the reboot.

Most apps I use can be installed via flatpak. For some Chinese ransomware (they extort my friends and force me to use them since telegram and discord are banned in China and none of my friend use those), KVM offered a great solution. With spice client and workspace, I can switch between Linux and windows by switching workspace. I think a seamless mode for KVM would be much better, but considering VMWare dropped the seamless mode support on Linux, it's not necessary for KVM too.

Also, the input method. As a Chinese user, I need to send messages to my friend on Linux, not in English, but in Chinese. The fcitx4 offers a great input method, despite it still failing under some circumstances in gnome. Tumbleweed offers fcitx5, but I was scared by the rolling update. It upgraded my fcitx4 to fcitx5, killed the fcitx, and removed the iBus. After rebooting, I got no input method to use.

After several days of adjusting the Linux and my habit got adjusted, I think I would still prefer Windows, although it's not a good OS at all. I tried gaming. Stacklands works perfectly on Linux using the proton layer. But some other games, purchased on EPIC, multiplayer online? Good luck with the third-party launcher.

And (Yes, I know this is a long post, I'm so sorry), about X11 and Wayland. I think it still needs some time (maybe several years) to offer the end users a good experience. Wayland sounds better, but with Nvidia's driver, I'd prefer x11.

So (this is the end, I swear), in conclusion, I like the experience I had on Linux in the past several days. I watched YouTube, wrote codes, sent messages with my friends, and listened to music on Spotify. They all went pretty well. OpenSUSE Leap managed to offer a super stable environment as possible they can. With 5.14 kernel, which doesn't have the better NTFS driver and seems like no backports for it. That caused a lot of issues. And with my limited Linux skill and the fear of breaking my only working system, I decided not to use NTFS anymore, instead of trying to fix it.

That's the end of my super long post. Thanks for your reading, and, Have a nice day!!!

Yeah. The buildings in my area are pretty old. The power line and related infrastructures are built when people use electricity in a wild way. I don't know how to translate the name into English, but the idea is the power is delivered by a single live wire, you connect it to the device, then connect the other end to ground. The infrastructure built at the time is pretty rough.

In the my house, all wall plugs are single zoned, one phase, no GFCI or something equivalent. If one point get shorted, the whole breaker pop off. If any house on the street don't have the breaker, the main breaker will pop. And at this time, we have to call the organisation who take in charge and let them fix the problems, which usually takes half of a day. This time, the main breaker poped again.

But I don't why it pops every time there is a heavy rain, despit the infrastructure is really old and not well designed.

Blackout again.

Every time there is a heavy rain, the electricity goes outage.

I can't figure out why. But I'm thinking about deploying a house-level UPS.

The only downside of the Nintendo Switch is that I can't code on it.

I started playing Octopath Traveler last year. And I'm still not finished with chapter 4.

Coding is too fun to stop, LOL.

Sold my old switch to my classmate and bought a new oled one (Japanese edition, of course, nobody would buy the Chinese edition, LOL).

My first oled display in my life. Now I'll watch Linus's TV review videos again, on this device, to appreciate the technology.

The menu already fascinated me. And thanks to the bad internet connection, I'm still downloading my games.

(Also, I upgraded from 256GB MicroSD to 512GB)

Spending the whole day getting Lua running on JVM.

Then noticed the Mozilla rhino.

Who needs Lua anymore?

I can write a context class and give it to the scope, and then call it a day. If "user" want more advanced operation, they can just invoke the Java code in JS, without any config needed.

I'm amazed. And I can understand why people use JavaScript in minecraft modding.

hmmmmm

90% humidity -> 0% chance of raining.
58% humidity -> 60% chance of raining.

That definitely worth to be a separate major. Meteorology
