Damn.

lost a keycap during the washing

And a replacement cost me 40CNY + 20 for shipping (10usd in total)

Thankfully that's not valuable business data. But that's still my precious memories in the past 10 years. Shame on me for not making a backup for those data.

Anyway, I'll start moving now, by building a NAS. I think the HPE microserver might be a good choice.

Never thought IBM (SoftLayer, actually) would prompt me to build a NAS.

I guess it's pretty hard to negotiate/talk to big companies as an individual person.

My IBM Cloud account has been deactivated by their verification team for no obvious reason. Right after I moved all data to their cloud object storage, I found out that will offers a better price than google drive.

Now my account has been deactivated, and I cannot access data. I send a bunch of emails to the sales team, the verification team, to ask about my data. Surprisingly nobody replies to me. The only reply I got is:

> Hello,
>
> We have reviewed your account/transaction and will not be able to offer services.
>
> No further information will be disclosed regarding this matter.
>
> Regards,
> IBM Cloud

Good job, SoftLayer.

Recent activities.

I sincerely hope that I can choose something like IBM cloud to host my app, rather than blockchain contact.

But if you have to deal with zero-trust things, then I guess that's the only way to go. At least you have to trust IBM before you order their super expensive hyper secured server. But for blockchain, you can only trust the math (and a reliable network).

Neo N3 is the most developer friendly blockchain, but it still has a long way to go.

Making a real world blockchain application is much harder than get a excellence award in Hackathon.

A Japanese Master Craftsman Taught Me To Make Senko Hanabi Fireworks

When I was young, and when Beijing was allowed to set off fireworks, I can remember a type of firework made from iron powder and oxidant, it will spark when set off, that spark came from the burning iron powder.

I saw that sparkler multiple times in Japanese animations, which are held inverted, and never realized they are a unique type of firework, until that Youtube video.

That is very ingenious.

Scent of a woman

Last time, also the first time I watched it is 4 years ago, I was 17 and not expect that much of unexpected words, but the end of the movie still makes me excited.

4 years later I watched it again, but still not understanding too much. I can get the story, a story about two men. There are rich detials in this movie, like the change of Slade's react to his grandchildren, those are making this movie vivid.

But for some detials, like after they drove the Ferrari, Slade across the street, i didn't quite understand why he must do that.

Maybe I'd watch again after another 4 years.

Also I don't know why the second pic is reversed, weird.

这两天忙着通关死亡搁浅
没关注时事

我觉得河南洪水，河南省人民政府应该在事后自裁
没有提前发布预警，没有制定并实施好应急预案，险情出现后救援力度不够，导致民间救援力量过度透支。竟然还有民众淹死在地铁里的伤亡，这样的地方政府不自裁还留着过年吗？

我看微博上有不少人拿德国那个洪水说事儿，意图表明德国政府也没有做好这份工作。我觉得吧，没有人做的好不代表没有人受到责备。谴责德国政府防洪不力那是德国公民的事情，我会谴责我们的政府没有做好防洪工作，这叫舆论监督，是防止我们社会变得腐烂的重要一环，如果我们的政府能够承担起相应的责任，那么它就不会因为这些批评的声音而变得脆弱。正相反，如果一直有人把这种合理批评定为境外势力，那我觉得，我们的政府很难不脆弱。

使用暴力，正义与之毫不相关
Violence is the opposite of justify

有组织的使用暴力，正义绝对与之没有任何关系
Organized violence is absolutely the opposite of justify

无论是个人、组织、政党，抑或是国家，大抵都是如此
That's true, for individuals, organizations and countries.

The game DeathStranding tought me a lot, that fraction is one of them.

Wrote a simple tool that helping me to check the files on IBM Cloud Object Storage.

Working with IBM Cloud Code Engine, the workflow is pretty good.

But I have to say, the documentations that IBM offers on their website, they are garbage. I have to search through the code to find the things I wanted.

Great, only 209MB of 261GB data is lost, and it might not caused by IBM Aspera.

Still need upload 125GB data, I'll leave it to tomorrow's me to worry about that XD

Downloading all updated data from IBM COS

and found something not right.

A video file gives 5000+ errors when checking with ffmpeg, looks like I lost several minutes of that file, rest of them are ok.

Not sure how reliable IBM Aspera© is, since I'm not sure when that file is being corrupted. I downloaded that file around 2014, and save it to my hard drive, then uploaded to Google drive, storing about 3 years, then I downloaded from google and uploaded to IBM cloud.

Keeping some important data safe from a long time interval, actually is not a easy job.

Finished Hackathon

Start moving my data from Google drive to IBM cloud (Object Storage), already downgrade my google one plan from 2TB per year to 200GB per year, saved 70 dollar pee year.

Currently there are 500+GB data, but at least 300GB of them never have been accessed this year. So by using IBM cloud Object Storage, archived data only cost 0.001USD per GB per month, should be a great deal for me. Those files are like photos, archived projects, animations. They are a lot,and unlikely to be used in near future, but I can't delete them, since I like collecting things, include data. I also found a 25000:1 map of China, from 1945. Definitely useless in 2021, but it's pretty cool to have it.

Alive check.

Seeing someone counting my life in a youtube video is really make me thinking about that. I'm planning living at least for 60 years, and now I'm already 20, 1/3 of my life is passed, and there not much time left(in the meaning of playing all day and do what ever I wanted regardless the outcome).

Life is precious, so I embrace it.
