Want to know the feeling of having Asian parent? Watch this: https://youtu.be/TsSP-nHjZ0Q

I know this is a video for fun. I can watch and laugh on other videos as a native Chinese. I do appreciate how this youtuber mimics the Asian style.

But this one? I can't even smile. I watched half of the video and have to close the tab. I can't laugh on this video, since the situation is similar enough to bring back those memories when I was young. Of course now my parent will never treat me like this. But when I was young and can't rely on myself, (aka if they abandoned me, I would die absolutely), they did the same humiliation to me. Yes, I called that humiliation, I think by doing so, they built their dignity by destroying mine.

As for why I can't just leave my parent and move to another country, I thought, they gave me life, so I serve them to death. That's all. I would never repay them for raising me up, they didn't do a good job. But they do feed me. And I think I do need to serve them to death. That's all I want/need to do.

Useful but useless😂

Mojang tries to create and enforce rules regardless of everything. And this is the wrong way to maintain a community.

Luo Xiang, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, said, "Some students who are good at law, gradually lose their humanity, and become a robot of the law in the end."

In my humble opinion, the ability to bend the rule is a privilege of human beings. This also applies when I was thinking about how China government matters covid data over the life quality of normal civils.

Takarazuka Revue at 1947. Their first show was in 1914. At the same time, we Chinese just joined the UPU as the Republic of China. In 1947, we got the first constitution of ROC. The POC was then born two years later.

Now we (as POC) call ourselves a powerful nation (as CCP's official news said). While I think we are still at a point where we need to learn more to recognize our ignorance.

And that's the point I worried about most: Not one person or two thought China is a powerful nation, but the official media believed that too. And a large portion of young people thought that's true, and think they don't need to be humble.

I really shouldn't open Twitter before sleep. But I just can't help. F*ck.

Fine, I'll listen to Elizabeth (musicals) and try to sleep.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmm...

Seems like Hetzner StorageBox's custom shell has some issues with file names.

I have a file named like: "(something) [something.pdf", generated by calibre.

The shell though the file name is an incomplete wildcard expression. If I use the escaped format, like "\\(something\\)\\ \\[something.pdf", the shell is fine, but the command will give an internal error and trigger an OOM kill.

The rclone failed to calculate md5 on those files. Thus failed to backup to S3.

I contacted hetzner's support, but no reply yet. I did some google, seems like hetzner's support got a very bad reputation. Hopefully they won't close my account just because I noticed a weird issue, LOL.

DO NOT trust Windows explorer's copy function. Use FastCopy and verify your file.

Pause the sync when you keep changing your files, no matter what sync client you use: Google Drive, MountainDuck, or dropbox.

Use something like 7z and rar to provide some abilities to check file integration.

----

Today I got 30+ files with 0 bytes (the file should be 5MB~10GB), and about five files with missing content (should be 20+MB, but only got first 5~6MB synced).

Those are files I copied from Google Drive and pasted to MountainDuck. I don't know how I got those broken files, but I think it's related to Google Drive. I had a similar experience where the file on Google Drive is good, but downloading gives a broken file. And the sync part, the MountainDuck seems like using timestamp only and choosing the newer file, even if the file in the local disk is bigger while the last modified timestamps are the same.

It's already 3 AM. Have to go to bed.

Good night.

打完喷射战士，睡前看了一眼新闻，发现英国女王去世了。
​
​我想，伊丽莎白二世除了作为英国女王，可能也象征了一代人。这一代人经历了二战，经历了战后重建，经历了冷战，经历了互联网革命，也经历了我们这一代小鬼是怎么加入又退出欧盟，怎么愚蠢又聪明地推动了各种各样的社会变革，当然，她也和我们一样，见证了新冠肺炎，见证了安倍遇刺，也见证了许多其他可笑而荒谬的事情。女王去世了，这一代人也逐渐消亡，接手的下一代未曾经历过战争，不曾亲身体会到生命的脆弱与自由的可贵。我们，会把人类文明塑造成什么样子呢？
​
​我不知道。我无从预测未来这个世界将向哪种方向发展，也不知道中国将会发生何种变化。但我对这二者皆持有悲观态度。
​
​逝者安息，R.I.P.

After playing Splatoon 3, I glanced at the news before went to the bed, and I noticed Queen Elizabeth II had died.
​
​I think, in addition to being the monarch of England, Queen Elizabeth II may also symbolize a generation. This generation has lived through World War II, through post-war reconstruction, through the Cold War, through the Internet revolution, through how our generation joined and left the European Union, and how stupidly and cleverly pushed all kinds of social changes. And, of course, she also, like us, witnessed the covid, witnessed the assassination of Abe, and a lot of other ridiculous while absurd things. The Queen passed away, and this generation also gradually passed away. The next generation who took over has never experienced a war (part of them, they do), and has never experienced the fragility of life and the value of freedom. How will we shape human civilization?
​
​I don't know. I can't predict which direction the world will take in the future, nor how China will change. But I am pessimistic about both.

Just checked Nintendo's netcode (first heard about this word) while waiting for splatoon 3 to unlock.

And some people said they would use a new system called NPLN, but I didn't find too much info about that.

It's amazing to see the player community can do such a great reverse engineering, while Nintendo didn't reveal anything (despite some accidental debug info leak).

Hopefully they won't take down Java's mod community to improve player safety and data privacy.

But frankly speaking, this is a good job. When I saw my steam account's history name, I want to DIE (Younger me is so stupid).

This is much better than the reporting system.
