Infinite Script

I recently switched from WordPress to Hugo. This post outlines the reasons behind my migration and provides a step-by-step guide on how to make the transition.

Rethinking Why Use WordPress

I began using WordPress in 2009 when static site generators were not prevalent, and WordPress was the go-to CMS for nearly everyone. However, since my blog had infrequent updates but high readership, I started reconsidering the use of WordPress. Five years ago, I decided to convert the WordPress site into static HTML and uploaded it to a CDN to accelerate access speed for users in mainland China.

Gnome 42 has a fantastic new feature that allows Linux users to share their desktops with Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol remotely, namely GNOME remote desktop. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can use this great new feature.

Without this feature, an alternative solution is xrdp. However, xrdp cannot provide a consistent desktop environment as used in current Linux.

Enable Automatic Login and Disable Screen Lock

For the remote desktop to work on GNOME, we have to enable automatic login and disable automatic screen lock. Otherwise, it is unable to connect to the Linux PC remotely from Windows 10/11 using the Remote Desktop Connection app.

Arch Linux ARM is a simple and lightweight Linux distribution that is actually the official port of the Arch Linux operating system. It’s built especially for processors that support ARM architecture. With its use, the users can have full control of the system and shape their system according to their needs.

In this tutorial, we provide the detailed procedure to install Arch Linux ARM on a Macbook Pro (with Apple M1 Pro) running VMware Fusion 13.0.

Background

I created a static website that saves couple pictures, namely Infinite Love, on Valentine’s day 2021. As it is static, adding content requires modifying the source code. To make it more convenient, I decide to create an iOS app. I am quite familiar with web development, however, it is the first time I learn to write an iOS app. In this tutorial, I will introduce how to create an iOS application from scratch.

Background

With Windows 11, Microsoft has removed several outdated apps and features, including the long-hated Internet Explorer. However, some proprietary apps and legacy sites still require Internet Explorer functionality to run.

Several posts suggest using the IE mode in Microsoft Edge. However, it is not working for some websites, such as the Talent Introduction System for Shenzhen.

Solution

Step 1. Create a VB script, named ie.vbs with the following content.

CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible = true

Step2. Run the VB script, and Internet Explorer will be launched as expected.

In this tutorial, we are going to introduce how to install Caffe without root privileges. We assume that you have installed Anaconda and CUDA on your PC.

Create Virtual Environment

conda create -n caffe
conda activate caffe

Install Dependencies

Since we decide not to use system dependencies, we need to install them in the Anaconda environment. To install, you can use the following commands:

conda install boost=1.65.1 openblas mkl mkl-include gflags glog lmdb leveldb h5py hdf5 scikit-image
conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg opencv==3.4.3

Build Protocol Buffer (protobuf)

Please DO NOT install it with Anaconda, because it causes the problem of the undefined reference in the linking process.

It has been a long time since I last wrote a blog post. In the past few days, I updated the architecture of Infinite Script to accelerate the speed for Chinese users. In this article, I share the new architecture of our website with you.

Optimizing a CDN for Static Content Delivery

Static content does not change over a period of time. If it does change, the changes are predictable. Static content includes images, CSS sheets, JavaScripts, and PDFfiles. Because of this, CDNs can cache a copy of the content at their edge servers.They can thenserve it whenever a client requests it. CDNs are best at optimizing the delivery of static content from edge servers to users. Therefore, we use the CDN from Alibaba Cloud.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT USE IT TO ATTACK OTHER COMPUTERS.

CVE-2017-16995 has been fixed before. But it is broken again in many kernels of Debian and Ubuntu distributions, ranging from version 4.4 to 4.14.

It causes an arbitrary memory read/write access issue was found in the Linux kernel compiled with the eBPF bpf(2) system call (CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL). The issue could occur due to calculation errors in the eBPF verifier module, triggered by user-supplied malicious BPF program. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on a system. Setting parameter “kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1” prevents such privilege escalation by restricting access to bpf(2) call.
