Shadow Banking Activities in the P.R.C.

30 May 2024 at 15:41

Factors leading to this happened

  • Insufficient supply of credit from four major banks (during the high-speed China’s economic development era)
  • Limited regulations over risky loans
  • Limited regulations over arbitrage
  • Inter-bank interactions exclusion from credit management
  • Chinese government’s control over interest rates
  • Criteria of promotion for the local government leaders
  • Others
    • Regulatory discouragement of lending money to certain industries 

Additional risks

About two-thirds of all lending in China by shadow banks are “bank loans in disguise”.[7] One of the controversies of this industry is that retail investors are largely unsure about what sorts of risks they are taking on when engaging in shadow banking.[8] The connections between traditional banks and the shadow banking system further cloud the picture and at the same time contribute to increased risk.[9]

Methods in detailed

  • Wealth Management Products(WMPs), aka. 理财产品
    • Why people would invest it? And what’re its risks?
      • Compared to deposit, it can offer higher return.
      • Although people invest, they usually don’t know what exact portfolio would financial institutions invest, as well as banks usually wouldn’t like to tell them. Moreover, some of products cannot even ensure investors’ principles, which put huge risks on investors. 
    • How can it bypass regulations? Or, how can this shadow banking activities do not appear on banks’ balance sheet?
      • Their yield comes from the ‘performance’ or ‘value’ of assets upon which the product is built. These financial products designed and sold by financial institutions, like banks, trusts and securities firms, do not appear on the institutions’ balance sheet.
      • Ostensibly, banks act like an intermediaries rather than actual holders, which gives them reasonable pretexts that they don’t show this shadow banking activities on balance sheet.
    • How’s the situation in US? And why doesn’t Chinese government legislate it to force it to appear on the banks’ balance sheets?
      • Issuing a WMP is strictly regulated in US, through several regulatory bodies, while, although such products do have some regulation to some extent in the PRC historically, they’re loosely regulated, which makes evasion from regulation possible and rampant. For now, the central government has made more significant efforts to regulate WMPs and shadow banking.
      • Although Chinese government, including its highest leaders, is aware of this situation, even the central government does not know the exact amount of number of WMPs. Secondly, considering the officials’ criteria of promotion within the CCP system, historically, local government would try their best to maximize leveraging, and the central government also knows this, but considering the fast development needs and how the authoritarianism system works, both local and central government historically didn’t have such willingness to regulate it.
      • As for now, the amount of number is enormously large, which is really a big problem and several serious results have risen up. Recognition of central government about this serious issue makes central government to have strong willingness to regulate, but, as for the local government, the criteria of promotion remains similar. The easier ways to achieve the economic development, aka GDP numbers in CCP’s criteria system, is still to leverage, resulting in local governments to have less willingness to regulate this. Although considering the pyramid system within the CCP, sometimes local governments have to follow the instructions from higher leadership, while, it’s still clear to say the local governments don’t  have such stimulus to regulate. If such situation were not to be changed, we will still see huge investment from the local government, such as infrastructure investment.
      • Hypothetically, If the central government were to force banks to include the WMPs on their balance sheets immediately, several negative and serious economic results would occur, such as bank runs, bankruptcies, economic instability. This creates a dilemma: forcing banks to include them on balance sheet would cause problems, while, maintaining the status quo would also lead to problems eventually.
    • The number of WMPs
      • Its number has been increasing steadily, with it increasing from less than ¥500 billion in 2004 to ¥9.5 trillion by the end of 2013. 
  • Trust Products
  • Entrusted Loans
  • Alternative Financing
  • Interbank Market Activities
  • LGFVs
  • P2P

How China Works: An Introduction to China’s State-led Economic Development

Book Notes & Recommendation by Lucas | How China Works, by Xiaohuan Lan

25 May 2024 at 14:58

Prelude

Without understanding of China’s politics, then it’s impossible to understand China’s economy. Starting from the last year of the ominous China’s economy, I also got much more interested in macroeconomics, or, I got interested in for the first time in my life. Of course, I think English helps a lot in terms of cultivating my interest, which I don’t have to read about written in a monotonous CCP’s language.

This is a book showing several important periods of transition and development, terminologies of the Party and the economics, historical background and factors, logics of how it develops and works, etc. Although the PRC’s economics and politics are closely associated, this book focuses more on economic sides. So, whether your political spectrum is more pro-CCP, neutral, or pro-democracy, this book is beneficial for everyone who wants to know and understand China’s economy about where should and would it go. In fact, if you take closer to think about its publication date and the contents written in the book, you can see the author even “predicted” the future to some degree, which requires you to know clearly about the current situation.

It also takes time to read, considering its terminologies, background and complexity. If I could borrow a word from Mandarin to describe its category, I would use “通识”, stands for liberal education in English. If there’s no other book surprises me this year, I think this will be my “The Book in 2024”. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Excerpt

The following is extracted from the book that I think they’re interesting, combined with some other materials I researched.

条块关系& 四套班子

The departments’ relationship can be called “vertical strips and horizontal blocks” relationships, namely, “条块关系”, in the China’s unique political structures consisted by the “four teams”, namely, “四套班子” : party committees, administrative government, the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

The “four teams” structure is replicated at each level of the government, with a few notable exceptions. For example, the central government has the Ministry of Finance, the provincial government likewise has a finance department and the city and county government has a finance bureau.

Most local government departments have to accept dual leadership from both stripes and blocks. As an example, a county-level education bureau needs to accept the leadership of both the city education bureau vertically and the leadership of the county-level party committee and county government horizontally. In this example, the “strip” means the higher department and the block means the party committee and the government in the same level.

属地管理 & Externality

The geographical scope and authority of China’s local government is determined by administrative districts, and the extent of local power is bound together with the administrative district in question (属地管理).

Division of Administrative Districts

Factors: Languages, population

Areas of population inflow can merge counties and establish districts to expand the city, however areas of population outflow rarely abolish administrative districts, preferring instead to merge facilities to save cost (e.g., merging two schools together).

Regions located at the boundary of administrative districts tend to be underdeveloped. This phenomena, known as “三不管地带” roughly translated as “anarchic regions”, can also be explained using the framework of scale effects and boundaries of public goods. Interestingly, such problems are also existed in the ROC era, moreover, these anarchic regions provided a fertile space for the Communist party during the revolutionary period(1921-1949). Such phenomenons were demonstrate on roads a few decades, but this is limited to roads and expressways invested by the provincial government, not national roads and railways. Now, traffic is not a major problem. Some provinces choose to locate factories and businesses that have a high level of water pollution on downstream provincial borders, in doing so the pollution released mainly affects the downstream province and the average level of pollution in the polluting province may actually decrease.

To solve the anarchic regions problem, the best way to manage the cross-district externalities is to appoint a supervisor with authority to coordinate and make decisions. This is why strips and blocks systems are needed.

文山会海

According to the most recent regulations on the handling of government and party documents issued by the State Council in 2012 (which I will refer to here as “the regulations”), there are 15 types of official document. These include “Decisions” and “Orders” which must be strictly implemented by lower levels, those that can be handled relatively flexibly, such as “Opinions” and “Notices”, as well as those which have less information content such as “Letters” and “Minutes”.

七通一平

Before the firm moves in, the local government will make some initial investments in the area, including providing electricity, transport links, heating, ventilation, supplying water, drainage and communication networks, and the land must be leveled as well. (a process known in Chinese as “七通一平” which translates to “7 openings and 1 leveling”).

三免三减半

Local governments can also provide tax incentives or subsidies for certain businesses. Examples may include tax credit for research and development or subsidies on export. One common tax incentive involves businesses paying no corporate income tax for the first three years of operation and paying half the rate for years 3 to 6 (known as the “three tax-free and three half-tax” or “三免三减半”).

The reasons why land finance became such prominent, namely, the surging price of houses

However, in 1998, two significant changes occurred, and the true value of urban land began to emerge. The first change is that government and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) stopped building housing for their workers, and instead paid money to the workers in the form of a housing subsidy. The era of commercial housing and real estate development therefore started in earnest. From 1997 to 2002, the average annual growth rate of newly constructed residential areas reached 26%, and the absolute number increased 4x in 5 years. The second change is that the implementation of the revised “Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China” which stipulated that rural land could only be used for non-agricultural construction purposes if it is first transferred to state-owned land, thereby giving city governments a monopoly over urban land construction.

Land Finance & Debt & Snowball

The real power of “land finance” is not the high sales value of land use rights, but its ability to use land as collateral to mobilize capital markets and leverage up more funds for investment. It snowballs in size, leading to more and more investment, but also more and more debt for local governments, which has become a significant problem for China’s economy in recent years.

LGFVs(Local Government Financing Vehicles)

aka. 地方政府融资平台

However, the official name of these vehicles does not contain the word “financing”, rather most of them use words such as “investment and development” or “construction”, which emphasizes the company’s role in investment rather than financing. So in China, these vehicles are also collectively referred to as Urban Investment Corporations (城投公司).

To use some Chinese terminology, a piece of “raw land” (生地) that has been marked for development, can turn into “ripe land” (熟地) ready for development, only after the land is leveled and cleaned up.

Government industrial Guidance Funds / Private Equity Funds

Local governments cannot borrow directly from banks, therefore urban investment corporations act as financing vehicles. Similarly, governments cannot make direct equity investments in capital markets, therefore it is necessary to set up a company to operate and manage the guidance fund.

These fund managing companies fall into 3 broad categories. The first group are wholly state-owned enterprises, such as Beijing Yizhuang State Investment, an investor in BOE. The second group are mixed-ownership companies, such as Shenzhen Capital Group Co. Ltd., which is entrusted to manage the huge Shenzhen Guidance Fund. The largest shareholder of this company is the Shenzhen city government, but it only holds a 28% share. The third category is more like CFLD discussed in the previous chapter. Guidance funds in small cities are small in scale, and local governments have neither the resources nor the expertise to establish special management companies for them, so they simply entrust the funds to private companies, such as Prosperity Investment Group.

Shadow Banking 影子银行

The bank may therefore create a so-called wealth management product that attracts household savings at a rate of 5%, entrusting the money to a trust company. Then the trust company lends the money to the real estate company. In this so-called bank-trust cooperation, the wealth management product created by the bank is not recorded as bank deposits, and the money entrusted to the trust company is not recorded as bank loans, so the entire transaction is not recorded in the balance sheet of the bank and is therefore not subject to bank regulations. This is a form of shadow banking.

🇨🇳 P.R.C’s & CCP’s Political System

25 March 2024 at 16:36

Intro

For most of people, even who live in the PRC for years or decades, it’s still highly possible that the political structure couldn’t be understood, especially when it comes to the difference between the Party and the State, as well as I did.

This is the very first step of learning politics for me. And, I believe that it would also benefit others like I did, so I decide to publish and share it with you. Moreover, this is a part of a series. In the future, I would also try to learn other nation’s political structures, like US, AU, and ROC.

Notice: During the process of searching and learning, I’m aware of that even wikipedia did uncomfortable censorship to some degree, although it’s much better than BaiduBaike(百度百科) in the terms of tools of information collecting and resources. So, if you want to dive deeper, I highly suggest you learn and do research in English. Other than that, if you’re a bi-linguist, it would be much better, and the comparison of the context in two different languages would surely bring sarcastic joys for you.

Anyway, please enjoy it. You can e-mail me if you find out something wrong.

Why I’m good at controlling my emotions? 

16 March 2024 at 16:25

When I was very little, I was very nervous and terrified every time I went back to my primary school, because my teachers are very cruel, and it’s even okay to say they are evil. They would punish me for very small things by hitting, kicking, whipping or even slapping in my face. For example, I would get hit because I forgot submitting my homework even if I’ve already done it.


Weapons and Women

The weapons they used were stories. They shifted from tools to tools.

The first generation was wooden rulers, hollow iron handles of brooms, and solid wooden handles of brooms. Whereas, they all had a similar problem: bad endurance. After using them as punishing tools for many times, they would be broken, as they were originally not designed as weapons. Until now, I still vividly remember, once during the punish, the hollow iron broom handle split into halves, students whose eyes almost got hurt by the accident splinter, the terrified classmates and the gloomy weather. And I was just fearfully sitting on my own seat, watching them getting beaten, unsure of whether I would be the next. 

These weapons hurt, but not durable.

To solve this problem, the math teacher ordered a tailored, solid and iron stick. Even in the mainland China at that time, it wasn’t quite usual. Most of Chinese teachers would just use the aforementioned tools for punishing, instead of buying some special tools. But how did I know it was tailored, instead of something I didn’t know, considering I was still very young at that time? In fact, it was the woman who taught the math told us this information. She announced one day in public that after waiting for days, the stick was finally delivered, excitingly, with her big goofy smile on her ugly face and squinting eyes behind her thick glasses. The outside was made by iron. The inside of the stick was filled with some kind of concrete powder or something. Up to now, I still didn’t know what was that. It can be slightly bent with some efforts, a bit of weighty, considering its slender shape. The most important was it hurts. Hands would get swollen up every time I got beaten, much worse than rulers, because of its slender shape. 

The woman who taught mandarin also showed her creativity. She used the off-the-shelf tool: skipping rope. 

I call it the third generation of weapons. It perfectly catered the principle of what weapons would be used for punishment: endurance and pain. Personally, it’s unable to compare which one was the worst: skipping rope or the tailored stick. In the terms of shape and pain, they were quite similar. Although math wasn’t her specialty, mandarin was indeed her talent. She told us that “Although she was the one beating us and we hurt physically, emotionally she was so hurt, she didn’t feel good for beating us”. Wow, what a wonderful way to use language, huh. Now, she was even the suffer.


Parents and Punishment

Other than these I listed, I also got physically punished by different means, but I wasn’t the worst one.

The worst was one of my classmates. My teachers once publicly announced they’ve gotten the permission from his parents to beat him as a punishment. And teachers even artificially said they didn’t have the heart to do so, although they did so many times in fact. My classmate once showed me the plentiful long bruises on his back in the dormitory: they are dark, purple and red. Purple ones meant they have been for a while since the time he got hit. Dark ones meant they were getting to recover. While, red ones meant they’re so fresh. Some of them were gotten from the teachers, and the others were from his parents. What makes it more miserable was his back always had dark, purple and red ones.

I told my parents about this. The only feedback I got is “Teachers are for students’ own good”. After that, I totally gave up on resorting for their help. I knew it’s worthless and what would I get if my teachers know I told my parents. Of course, normal connections of trust between me and my parents has never been built since that.


Practice and Learn

All of these lead that every time I saw the gate of the school in distant, my heart would start pounding. I still remember vividly I sat in the back of the electric vehicle of my parents’, quietly listening the pounding of my heart and the sound of the wind streaking clearly. I kept telling myself to calm down for years. But, my heart remained pounding during those years.

Situations got slightly better after I grew up a little. The day I graduated from the primary school, I feel deeply relieved, instead of sadness. Once I read a news saying a student beat his teacher after he had graduated for years, when he accidentally run into his teacher. Of course, he said he had been terribly treated when he had been in the school. I asked myself a question after I read this news, if I had been in the same situation, would I have done the same thing? During a long period of growth, I didn’t know. What I did know is such evil thoughts had once been in my mind.

Backing to the question, I’ve been practicing this ability of keeping calm since I was in the primary school, so negative emotions wouldn’t easily and heavily affect me. It’s not a gift, it’s something through learning and practicing.

Remotely access local network via QX and SS

7 March 2024 at 16:48

Intro

For people who live within the GFW, accessing their own local network, like the home network and company or school network, is usually an annoying issue, because we normally want to access global services and local services at the same time. Whereas, the tools providing the local network accessing ability, famously like VPN, WireGuard, NAT traversal, port forwarding, would take over all your network traffic when you use them, which means you have to keep switching it on and off to access both local and global services, not to mention they’re usually complex to set up

But by using QX and SS you can take advantage of the followings:

  • Seamlessly network experience when you access local and global services, which means you don’t have to turn the switch on and off
  • Encrypted data transfer when using public Wi-Fi 
  • Easy to set up and easy to use
  • Smooth Apple-platform experience, thanks for QX’s iCloud sync supported
  • Multiple service protocol supported, you don’t have to set up port forwarding separately for each service, like FTP, SMB, Web, etc.
  • Bonus one: IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel or IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel supported, but also requires extra settings

For people who live within the GFW, accessing their own local network, like the home network and company or school network, is usually an annoying issue, because we normally want to access global services and local services at the same time. Whereas, the tools providing the local network accessing ability, famously like VPN, WireGuard, NAT traversal, port forwarding, would take over all your network traffic when you use them, which means you have to keep switching it on and off to access both local and global services, not to mention they’re usually complex to set up

 

Briefly Intro for QX and SS

“SS Proxy Protocol” is really famous in the group of users who use it to bypass the GFW’s censorship, which is originally designed to use it in that way, basically everyone knows it. QX, formally Quantumult X, is a proxy client exclusively for Apple devices, providing cross-platform experience based on iCloud synced configuration file. Both of them have their alternative products, like v2ray or SSR for SS, and Surge, Loon or Shadowrocket for QX. Choose one you like, I will exemplify by using SS and QX in this article.

 

Censorship&Safety Concerns in the mainland China 

Because of SS’s popularity, the Big Brother has already targeted on it. Moreover, the GFW has already had the capability to identify SS protocol and therefore to block it. But, according to the realistic considerations and the reasonable assumption based on the technology, the censorship reputedly only deploys on the gate of global networks traffic in some main cities, like Shanghai and She Zheng, which means it should be fine to deploy SS domestically, especially at your home.

Moreover, according to P.R.C.’s laws, it should and would have been totally legal to use SS for local network access, as you had been intentionally setting it to access local network, instead of global network. But you know what I mean. The concerns of security still remain in this land. But, to remember, once you read this, it should be concerning enough.

After all, according to my assessment and real experience, it wouldn’t be a problem. I’ve been using it for at least a half-year. But, if you still have concerns, please use other up-to-date and relatively less common proxy protocols, like Reality or hysteria. Because, if the GFW cannot catch you outside, it cannot be possible to identify your network access behavior domestically, unless you’re doing really really dangerous things.

So, Without further ado, let’s heading to the main section.

 

 

First: deploy SS Server

While I would like to help you to set up SS server step by step, there’re already enormous tutorials on the internet suitable for any operating systems, and I don’t think I can do better than them. The deploying script is extremely simple to use, usually just copy one command into your terminal, it would install automatically.

Linux: https://teddysun.com/486.html
macOS: Please use built-in SS Server in Quantumult X, located in “Setting – Misc Settings – VPN – SS Server”
Windows: https://www.librehat.com/three-minutes-to-set-up-shadowsocks-server-on-windows/

So, in this part, I would only point out some important requirements.

  • Public IP Address Required: IPv4 or IPv6
    • Unfortunately, in the mainland China, unless you are the users of China Telecom, the others, like China Mobile and China Unicom, usually wouldn’t provide a public IP address for you. Moreover, because of global IPv4 address shortage, even China Telecom would be unwilling to provide IPv4 address for customers in some areas.
    • But, does that mean if you don’t have a public IPv4 address, you cannot reference my article? Not exactly. As I said before, it requires a public IP address, no matter it’s based on IPv4 or IPv6. So, that means you can use IPv6 instead. And this is a good news, because the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in P.R.C is promoting IPv6, requiring ISPs to support IPv6 for home broadband users. So, if you find out that your network doesn’t have a public IPv4 address and don’t support IPv6, just call the ISP’s service number, and they will fix it for you. After all, considering the status quo, using IPv4 is still the best option.
    • One thing needs to be very careful during the setup of SS if you use IPv6: Turn on IPv6 listening. Some script may not turn on this for you.
  • Port Forwarding / Firewall
    • After resolving public IP address problem, make sure you turn on public internet port listening
      • If you deploy it on your OpenWRT being your gateway, port forwarding is unnecessary. SS server software is built in OpenWRT firmware in most cases, which means you don’t have to install it, you only need to turn it on.
      • Deploy it elsewhere, like Linux or Apple TV
        • Using IPv4: go into router’s settings to turn on port forwarding.
        • Using IPv6: it usually doesn’t need to do so. But if you cannot access after deploying, maybe go to check both the gateway router and the server itself, especially if you’re using Windows being your SS server.

Bonus one: If you have Mac or Apple TV at home, then I would highly recommend you to “deploy” SS on them, as it’s the simplest way to do so. Just download QX in AppStore, go into the “Settings – Misc Settings – VPN – SS Server” and turn it on. No need for extra complex settings at all.

 

DDNS

Hypothetically assuming you’d already acquired a public IPv4/IPv6 address, the next thing you should do is setting a DDNS service, because even if you have a public IP address, it usually wouldn’t be a permanent one, which means it would change automatically and irregularly, unless you pay a bunch of money to your ISP. By setting a DDNS service, you would access the real-time IP address indirectly. Anyway, if you’re interested in more informative details, you can find more on YouTube. After all, it’s necessary for home broadband, but, if you’re a commercial broadband user, it would usually be a static IP address, then use the IP address directly.

DDNS is not always free for using. Some of them are free, and some are not. I would highly recommend you to use free ones, it’s unnecessary to pay for it. But, unfortunately, the choice is limited to the current the law in the mainland China, because most of domestic DDNS services now require Chinese citizens identification of users. Instead, you can use global DDNS services. Although they mostly don’t get blocked by the GFW, it’s getting blocked. So, pick the right one and make sure you have several for backing up.

Here’s my personal recommendation for DDNS service providers, according to the principles: free of using, free of identification and accessible in the mainland China:

  • QNAP DDNS (QNAP NAS required, but the simplest one)
  • Dynv6

The process of deployment shouldn’t be tough, just follow the instructions that DDNS service provides provide you.

 

 

QX’s Configuration

Step 1: Add the Server(SS)

SettingsImport your SS proxy server here.

After importing the server, make sure that you have a IPv6 address on your client device before you test it, if you’re using IPv6 address on your proxy server.

 

Step 2: Add Policy

IMG 0109QX provides several policy methods, allowing users to select different proxy servers

Option 1 (Basic)
Manually switch between “direct” and “proxy”

Add the following

static="YOUR POLICY NAME", direct, "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER's NAME", img-url=homekit.system

Or if you have multiple servers

static="YOUR POLICY NAME", direct, "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER01's NAME", "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER02's NAME", "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER03's NAME", img-url=homekit.system

Explanation

  • static
    • Indicates the policy type in QX
  • direct
    • Direct access
  • YOUR SS PROXY SERVER’s NAME”
    • Proxy servers, as many as you want. You can also add a policy here. So, when you choose it, it would use the same server as the this policy.
  • img-url=homekit.system
    • The icon showing in the QX. You can later change it in the QX by right clicking the policy and selecting icon to modify it.

 

 

Option 2 (Advanced)
Manually switch between “direct” and “proxy” & automatically select available SS proxy server from multiple SS servers(if you have several ones for backups)

 

Add the following

static="YOUR POLICY NAME 01", direct, "YOUR SECOND POLICY NAME SUCH AS 'available proxy' ", img-url=homekit.system
available= "AVAILABLE PROXY", "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER01's NAME", "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER02's NAME", "YOUR SS PROXY SERVER03's NAME", img-url=homekit.system

Explanation

  • The “static” policy named “YOUR POLICY NAME 01” allows you to select manually between “proxy your network traffic via your home SS server” and “direct access”. 
  • While, the “available” policy named “AVAILABLE PROXY” would automatically switch to an available proxy server sequentially if one of them is down. “AVAILABLE PROXY” shouldn’t be appeared in the following filter part, if you do not have special needs.

More Options(More advanced)
You can modify it, based on your own needs and referencing to the example above.

 

Notice: Please replace the part in the double quotation marks, including the double quotation marks – “” themselves.

 

 

Step 3: Modify Filter

IMG 0108

If your local network is ranged from “192.168.2.0” to “192.168.2.255”, then add this. Modify the part suitable for you, if it is not. And replace the part in the double quotation marks, including the double quotation marks – “” themselves.

ip-cidr, 192.168.2.0/24, "YOUR POLICY NAME 01"

Explanation

  • The first part: “ip-cidr”
    • Used for judging what type of address it is, a IPv4 address, a IPv6 address or a URL. And “ip-cidr” is used for IPv4 address.
  • The second part: “192.168.2.0/24”
    • The part before a slash presents a IPv4 address, while the part behind the splash identifies the subnet mask. If you don’t know what subnet mask is, the quick introduction: it’s used for defining a range of local network. You can use an online subnet mask calculator to help you decide what subnet mask you should use. Check out this: https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html
    • If you want to proxy a specific ip address, like 192.168.2.233, then you should modify it like this- “192.168.2.233/32”, instead of “192.168.2.233/24”.
    • You probably notice in my screenshot, there’s a rule “ip-cidr, 192.168.0.0/16, direct”, which shows a larger local network range than “192.168.2.0/24”. But, in the QX, “192.168.2.0/24″‘s rule prioritize than “192.168.0.0/16″‘s rule. So, it’s okay. But if you run into a problem, maybe you can modify this part to fix your problem.
  • The third part “YOUR POLICY NAME 01”
    • In this part, you should use your own policy name that you define before. And whatever advanced policy you configure, the policy should be able to select between proxy and direct, unless you would only be allowed to proxy your network traffic all the time.

The Book in 2023

28 January 2024 at 16:08

Achievement in 2023

At the beginning of 2023, I decided to started reading English books, being a method of learning English, meanwhile, and also being a means of broadening my horizons. I read one saying online said “if you’ve already established a reading habit in your native language, then reading a foreign language book to be as a tool of language-learning is possible, vice versa”. 

 

I established a reading habit when I was in college. Living under the China’s “teaching to the test” educational system, I, and I believe a lot of students like me, don’t like reading, partially because what we read are basically what the Big Brother wants and allows us to read. With my one-year observation with English, the universal and international language today, I believe the whole system just doesn’t encourage students to broaden their minds. 

 

Moreover, as CCP is tightening its control, the social and academic environment is both becoming more and more narrow. In this painful and withering process, I slowly realized that Mandarin being a language is so deeply contaminated in subconscious and hidden ways, especially for those people who use simplified Chinese. 

 

It’s like boiling the frog, yet the temperature is way too high. It’s really the time to read in English.

Wild Swans by Jung Chang

If I have to choose one book to be the best book I read in 2023, then the book Wild Swans by Jung Chang should be the one. It was very late for me to realize the book is very famous outside of the mainland China. This book has several editions in different language. For most Chinese, I would recommend English and traditional Chinese editions, because, according to its author Jung Chang, although the simplified Chinese edition has never been officially published, and in the foreseeable future would never be, there’s a pirate simplified Chinese edition circulating in the mainland China, which is also a censored edition. The only one edition that is not censored is the traditional Chinese edition, which was published in Taiwan. So, I strongly recommend you to read the traditional Chinese edition if you think it’s bit of challenging to read the English edition.

 

You can get it via Z-lib, a website for downloading e-books for totally free, or you can get it from Amazon or Apple Book Store, if you know how. But to notice, the all pirate versions for English edition that circulate online contains several misspellings. So, reading it is kind of troublesome, although it’s not gonna impede your understanding.

 

 

Back to content itself, I think the majority of Gen-Z like me don’t fully understand the PRC’s history, especially under the strict information control by CCP. But after reading this book, every time when people talk about the China’s humiliation of history, I would think about the cultural revolution, the Great Leap Forward and other enormous political upheaval launched by Mao. How about the deaths caused by these political campaigns, because the number of deaths is dramatically higher than the killings by Japanese. 

 

Ruthless killing and invasion are truly disastrous for the whole world, but, meanwhile, does that mean those who involved in these political upheaval are way more ruthless than “disgusting” Japanese people, considering the corresponding deaths are remarkably higher, moreover, Japanese have already paid for their mistakes, while, someone’s picture is still hanging on there? This is only one very contradictory thing I realize. 

 

We learned from the history textbook that Culture Revolution is a “mistake”, which, according to my knowledge, this description about the Culture Revolution being a mistake is even changing now. Still, enormous questions and facts hasn’t been revealed. Correspondingly, justice has never been brought.

 

How this political campaign was mobilized and what’s the point for? How about the actual price for this mistake? How this deeply affected hundreds and thousands of families? How many people’s lives were ruined by this “mistake”? Did the authority really reflect on their mistakes? Such meaningful questions that have never been raised and you can never count on finding them in the textbook can now be seen in this book, and, of course, you can conclude your own answers.

 

My suggestion is every Chinese needs to learn our own history, especially for those who really think they’re patriotic.

 

There’s also one my personal assumption: in the process of reading, you may naturally compare the history to now, because you can find plentiful similarities can be shared. Then, I have a sentence that I read from the internet for you: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” by Mark Twain.

 

 

 

Red Roulette by Desmond Shum

I was so struggling when I run into a question, “What’s the best you read in 2023, if you have to choose one book?”. Although I previously recommend Wild Swans by Jung Chang being the Book in 2023, when I was still in the middle of reading it, I couldn’t decide one. This book is also overwhelming.

 

The only reason I rate this to be a secondary book in my 2023 is because it only includes a small part of era and mainly focus on Hu-Wen’s era, which is much less politically upside-down, compared to Mao’s era.

 

Red Roulette writes the recent history and hidden secrets about highest leaderships, all of which you cannot expect to find them online, even in foreign media news. It gives you a glance of how the system actually works behind the scenes. The political network, personal connections and “the red blood” are the core of ruling rules. I really like what the author, Desmond Shum, said on a podcast show: “I was like being an outsider, trying to get in insiders.” At this political point, I believe a lot of ordinary Chinese people are outsiders, ignoring the fact that we all live in China.

 

Every businessman in china is “white-glove” for the system, according to what he said on a podcast show called “百灵果” based in Taiwan he attended. To be a white-glove doesn’t need to involve high-level politics. If you’re an ordinary person, if you want to open a small business, like a small booth around the street corner, you need to bribe your local authorities for protection. And the authorities don’t need to be as big as government. You become a white-glove when you bribe the local auxiliary policeman. That says doing any business activities needs to be a part of system. Connection is so important. I have never perceived this from this angle, until I heard his words. I think, for people whoever want to do a business, this book is really helpful for comprehending the logic of business operation.

How to fix “error 59” and “error 60” bugs when subscribing websites on FreshRSS

26 October 2023 at 11:40

Issue

When you try to subscribe some websites by using FreshRSS, you would probably notice that there’re some issues to some certain websites(not all websites). The error prompt showing “cURL error 60” will pop up in logs, if you use “https”. But another error prompt showing “cURL error 59” would also pop up. Even you choose to use “http” and even turn off the selection – “Advanced – Verify SSL security” – as “NO”, the problem cannot be solved. By following the guide showing that try to add “#force_feed” to solve this problem, some websites still cannot be subscribed and same error prompts would still exist.

In simple terms, the fundamental factor causing the problems is SSL certificate, which causes verification issues. To solve the problem, we have to modify some configurations.

 

 

 

Solution

Directory

./FreshRSS/lib/lib_rss.php

Original Version:

if (isset($attributes[‘ssl_verify’])) {
        $curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = $attributes[‘ssl_verify’] ? 2 : 0;
        $curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER] = $attributes[‘ssl_verify’] ? true : false;
        if (!$attributes[‘ssl_verify’]) {
                $curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST] = ‘DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1’;
        }
        }

Modified Version:

if (isset($attributes[‘ssl_verify’])) {
        $curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = $attributes[‘ssl_verify’] ? 2 : 0;
        $curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER] = $attributes[‘ssl_verify’] ? true : false;
}

 

Notice:

Basically, you need to DELETE two aforementioned lines – 「if (!$attributes[‘ssl_verify’]) {“」 & 「$curl_options[CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST] = ‘DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1’;」. And please DO NOT paste it, considering format issues.

And there’re two places you need to delete, which means you need to delete twice, please make sure you delete them both. After finishing the modification, you can now subscribe websites, with the selection “Advanced – Verify SSL security” off. But subscribing in third-party apps is not supported, unless you follow the following guide.

“…, and with it/these + Noun” 独立主格结构

11 October 2023 at 14:52

Example 

01

“As a child’s self-esteem is undermined, his dependence grows, and with it his need to believe that his parents are there to protect and provide.”

— Excerpt from Toxic Parents by Susan Forward

 

02

Then came the arrest, and with it the fear of being questioned by the police.

— From the Internet 

 

Explanation

在这个句子01中,“his dependence grows”是主句,“his dependence”是主语,“grows”是动词。而前半部分的“As a child’s self-esteem is undermined”很好理解,即“随着/当孩子的自尊受到破坏”。本句的重点在后半句——”, and with it…”

 

首先,这个句型是独立主格结构,在独立主格中,with语句中的being常常会被省去,所以如果补充回来,这句话“完整”的应该为:
“As a child’s self-esteem is undermined, his dependence grows, and with it being his need to believe that his parents are there to protect and provide.”

 

其次,独立主格中的with句型中的with通常有表原因、表条件、表方式、表伴随、表时间等作用,在这里的with很明显是表伴随的作用。而and这一词也很简单,没有太多的延伸,即“而且”的意思。

而这里的it指代了前句中的“his dependence grows”或“his dependence”(看你喜欢怎么理解),并且如果当这里的指代不止一个的话,就不可以使用it而要使用复数形式的代词,例如them或者these。也就是说,在这种句型中,这里的it或者在其他例句中的them/these指代了前半句中提及的内容。

 

那么到这里,句子的理解就很清晰了:

随着一个小孩的自尊心被破坏,他对人的依赖也会增加,并且(and)伴随(with)it 指代的是 前文提及的 他对人的依赖的是他对要去相信他的父母会保护他和会提供他生存的需求。

 

所以,这个句子乍一看很奇怪,在后半句中代词it和另外一个名词前后直接叠加出现,并且中间没有任何的动词或介词衔接。那么,为了便于理解(实际写作时还是应该省略),把being加上后,明白with在这里做伴随的意思,并且了解代词it/these/them指代的是什么,这个句型其实很简单(意思上有点类似along with 不过这个句型强调了指代的功能),甚至与中文句式的表达逻辑是一一对应的,并没有出现颠倒。

 

最后,例句2相信你也能自己想明白~祝你学习开心😄~

No way back to dream – Approaching to the second half

19 September 2023 at 12:38

Prelude 

I’ve been recording my occasional thoughts popping up into my head on my private telegram channel since college. I would sometimes post them to my blog on which you’re currently reading after I thought it was the right timing at that moment. One day in college, during my daydreaming and roaming, I suddenly came up with an idea and decided to give the name to it, “Mind Spark”, complying with its characteristics – out of nowhere, transient, bright and inspiring, just like the spark.

 

 

Through observation of my inner mental space, I wound up finding out that the frequency of production of ideas really relates to my mental state and my recent emotional flow. Thanks to that, I posted them on and off, since even myself cannot guarantee what the exact timing of “Mind Spark” popping up is. Apart from being calm through reflecting and recording my personal development, there’s not any motivation for me to do so, if not for fun. But something has changed, it’s no longer existing just to please me.

Over the past half year, my mindset has been hugely restructured as well as these mind sparks. Instead of for fun and relief, I started noticing that my mind sparks are more likely the records of self-enlightenment, which I should definitely write them down. I clearly know what leaded to happen and it’s also the reason I write the prelude which I usually don’t bother to do it.

 

 

We Chinese have been taught that we must have the three “RIGHT” perspectives, which are the perspective of the world, perspective of life, and perspective of the value, which if you conform with the main values then you have it, vice versa. I didn’t know this terminology, which I have been thinking it’s ridiculous for a long while, actually comes from the Party until recently. One thing has been bothering me a lot – what does “right” mean? Namely, who is the one judge it? Knowing it with my intuitive, I just don’t follow the rule. 

English learning starting at elementary school is not an unusual thing. But for most Chinese, English learning is actually not for the learning itself, it’s more likely for learning for the exam. I used to be one of them. Like most Chinese, I don’t know the importance, especially in this land, of English. But for some reasons, I started taking it seriously. Then, another more fundamental question is emerging – if people couldn’t even know the basic English, then how could you demand them have the “right” perspective of the world, considering the serious censorship, considering the everlasting political propaganda and the rampant fake news? And all of these truth, you can not find them in that land.

 

 

I always have a sense of alienation – this kind of alienation is similar with you always know there’s something different between you and your people, like being half-awake, like you know something is wrong, something bad is happening, but you just couldn’t find the root. 

Political propaganda is spreading like wildfire, occupying people’s life – it’s the dream of renaissance of that country. To me, it’s really like a dream – everybody is living in a big bubble, sleeping in, but once people wake up, knowing the truth, there’s just no way back to dream……

 

 

 

The Mind Spark – First half

It all start at 2022/02/10

 

1

People like the feelings, the ambience and the atmosphere.

 

2

It’s another day to see the sun off.

 

3

For people who did’t say or repost any piece of information that someone or anyone needed help in the past 3 pandemic years on their social media, I’ll really deliberate what these guys are gonna say later in their life. They were not only deceiving themselves but also lacking of sympathy, both of which I cannot accept at all.

 

4

Wanna lie down on the rooftop in the summer air.

 

5

Maybe you don’t know what exactly you want, but at least you should know what you definitely don’t want.

 

6

The law, namely catch-all offenses, will shame people after one hundred years.

 

7

One step forward, two steps back.

 

8

Truth or even reality doesn’t matter to some guys. To them, it only matters how Big Brother depicts it, who uses nationalism and collectivism as tools to maintain authority and legitimacy and to manipulate the mass people. Thus, hatred, discrimination and prejudice are widely spreading.

 

9

All the interesting conversations are now happening in private.

 

10

Being special among the ordinary crowds is such a gift. Anybody feeling pain should always remember that.

 

11

Wish nobody cried this time.

 

12

Be tolerant with negative guys, be friends with positive fellow.

 

13

The incredible discipline happening in my nephew’s middle school is gonna blow your minds. Some students were punished with no admission for dining at school, simply because they littered trash casually. Then, I can tell that a brilliant idea must pop into their pretty heads. The school demanded the parents whose kids were punished should deliver their lunch to school, otherwise they will not be permitted to eat, since there’s no other choice.

The whole thing was totally ridiculous. Teachers thought they were just disciplining, but I think they were just showing their muscles, they were too intoxicated to be aware of that they’ve been so damn drunk in power in the name of disciplining. Don’t they see it’s totally against the fundamental human rights? After starvation had dominated people’s sympathetic lives for so many years, after starvation has almost been wiped out from this land, they still kept doing it to discipline? Does that even make sense?

Not everything needs punishment, cause adults do things wrong, and don’t even mention they’re still kids.

And, is that the right way to how teachers divide the responsibilities of teaching students with parents? As if the teachers totally ditched the educational responsibilities to the parents. I mean, surely, parents should also take educational responsibilities, but definitely not in this kind of way. To teachers, showing authority to students can’t satisfy their senses of superiority. Now, they’re showing that towards parents.

Moreover, the most astonishing part for me is not only the punishment, there’s no one parent fighting for their kids at all in my nephew’s class! Even the method of punishment has transcended, yet parents either believe teachers are all correct or they’re afraid of being treated unfairly to their kids.

I just worry about what students would feel and perceive after years later.

 

14

I just can’t get it, girls.

Boys incline to have a big fight with friends when they have conflicts, after that, they are still friends. But for most girls I’ve seen, they usually just break up with each other after a big fight, like forever. Moreover, they won’t leave any space for maneuver for rehabilitation, as though all things they had been through and all emotion they’ve been sensing don’t exist, and their past, connections and emotions are worth nothing.

Folks always say girls incline to be more sensitive, boys incline to be more rational. But are these sayings true?

 

15

Mind sparking are overflowing now.

 

16

Learning another language makes me perceive things from another angle.

 

17

Hey girls, he doesn’t like you, he just cannot stay with loneliness, so he came to you.

 

18

People living in this land should definitely know what’s going on in this land in the past months. Then, an article from Reuters could provide an insight.

 

19

“The only one kind of disease around us now has terminated. Since that, we have to say we made such a extraordinary achievement. ” – Such political propaganda is the only one that Big Brother would tell.

 

20

What would happen if things were different?

 

21

We, boys, are not enemies against you, who are on the way of feminism. Boys are also victims of the patriarchy.

 

22

Big Brother can never forbid every single word so that people can’t talk about things, situations, truths. People can always find substitutive words, a way to get it, to spread it.

That’s the one thing I’ve leaned from the past three years, but the Big Brother never gets tired of playing this cat and mouse games, such childish.

 

23

If Mandarin shouldn’t be used for expressing truths, maybe English is better.

 

24

You politicians are so lame, changing the languages just simply changes the truths. Things are things. Could we discuss things more objective less political?

 

25

People’ll definitely talk about this one hundred years later.

 

26

See, the time is dialing back.

 

27

Learning another language couldn’t be more painful, basically you’re downgrading yourself and putting yourself into a really limited space, as if you lose your wings but you used to be able to fly.

 

28

The whole bureaucratic system is like children playing house, don’t you guys ever get bored of?

 

29

One thing I’ve learned from my college was that basically everything you need can be learnt from the Internet, all you have to know are the three main tools: English, Google, Youtube. And since you might be in this land, the fourth is the real Internet instead of the network you’ve been familiar with.

 

30

We gotta be wiser or either be more muscular than youth, right? Since we’re getting older, having no way to make it stop, but we can’t just sit through and let it happen.

 

31

Stories are amazing, can not only get you in, but also help you learn English.

 

32

The key to learning another language, I guess, is to stop using your first language.

 

33

No palace in the Queen’s Road, like no people in the People’s Daily.

 

34

Do we ignore how powerful tools can be?

Schools demand that students calculate without calculators and students learn English or programming with paper and pens.

In the real world, we use calculators a lot and use less paper and pens.

 

35

See what idioms people use to figure out what the major part of their culture is.

 

36

Teachers direct your learning paces, but self-learning leads you on a way suitable for yourself.

 

37

It seems to me that I’m really not a school learning guy.

 

38

It’s too dangerous to talk about politics in this land.

 

39

Now, that elephant is in the room.

 

40

Feeling blue all day long.

 

41

Be suspicious of anything you don’t know.

 

42

关关难过关关过

 

43

Don’t be stuck in that nightmare.

 

44

Don’t see a big quarrel as a quarrel, perceive it as a great opportunity to deepen the relationship.

 

45

1.4 billion people only have one mouth. What a joke.

 

46

Angers are the side effects of inabilities.

 

47

Infections, inevitable.

 

48

Always, now or never

 

49

Summer’s coming, fuck off body shame.

 

50

I’m a robot who only needs electricity.

 

51

Kids are great imitators. Observing them is basically observing their parents.

 

52

For now, all is too sensitive.

 

53

The thing I feel so sorry is that everyone who lives under the Big Brother has to censor themselves in case bad things happen to them.

 

54

I think most of us, even who has dissent, can still accept or agree with that country needs time to progress, which was once happening until “you know who” was in charge. Everything is coming back rapidly.

 

55

The Big Brother don’t need to have people convinced, they only need people to be terrified.

 

56

Small dick energy or big dock energy?

 

57

Some people are so unaware of emotional powers.

 

58

Cognitive Warfare. Lies hide in the truths.

 

59

If we had been taught critical thinking, things we don’t understand would have been seen through. Due to the political sensitivity, some certain issues cannot be mentioned even in this blog.

 

60

If the Big Brother decides to influence the domestic masses’ minds, how come can the masses resist?

 

61

Sometimes I just don’t get the point, how come the gigantic narratives come to your life? Don’t you ever focus on small things that really happen to your life, pro-Party?

 

62

The Big Brother really did a ton of terrible things, but they whitewashed them.

 

63

People are so hesitant to know the truth when they get the chance due to fear and pain of knowing truths.

 

64

Lots of meetings happening in colleges are literally circle jerks. Do not even go in to them.

 

65

Dodge that bullet or bite the bullet

 

66

Thanks to English, I refill my curiosity.

 

67

The more I know, the more overwhelm me.

I believe people all know deep inside “surrendering yourself” is the only way you can move on in this land, but since this is so cruel, sometimes we just ignore it, like if we don’t feel it then the pain doesn’t exist.

But “surrendering yourself” doesn’t only happen to who is in a high position or wherein bureaucracy, it happens everywhere, like business, like even family. And I think we can blame on culture.

 

69

Contain your anger, don’t let it be overpowering.

 

70

Play the democracy card.

 

71

I really dislike the main culture, all people seem to be built from a same mold. Where’s the personality, where’s the diversity?

 

72

When the Big Brother can confront frankly their big mistakes they’ve made in the past, people can be proud of saying that they’re now living in a wonderful democratic country. For now, people are just living in a big lie.

 

73

Puppy, stop looking at me with your drowning eyes, you know I can’t resist that.

 

74

What would nightmares be like, when the Party is coming after people? 

 

75

We are all inclined to change others, whether unconsciously or intentionally, lest we get out of our comfort zones. But deep in our hearts, we all know that it can’t work out, since shifting theirs is way tougher than ourselves.

 

76

They have a big pocket which can put anything into it.

 

77

Having thoughts outdistancing the contemporary is a mental disaster, especially in this land.

You know something is morally wrong and logically unacceptable, but what else you can do besides publish your opinions and get arrested?

Dude, that’s puppy love.

 

82

A man who manipulates females had been manipulated by patriarchy.

 

83

You don’t have to be different, you can be distinct from others innately.

 

84

Being muscular, being tough, is that your personality or your persona?

 

85

Never shoot men’s arguments to be full of holes, they will resent the trophies you won from them.

I’m trying to inundate myself with the abundance of English material to improve my skills.

Free yourself from that mental prison cell.

Reading is one way of defending the loathing coming from the primary family.

You don’t have to conform with the main culture.

If you don’t care about politics, then it will eventually come after you.

Thinking wisely can also be a disaster.

 

96

Being allergic to certain alphabets can happen in this land.

 

97

Harboring ulterior motives, huh…?😂🤔🤫

 

98

Don’t think of the consequences. Thinking makes you weaker, taking action makes you stronger.

 

99

Better to speak out and die than keep silent and live.

 

100

Hiding what they couldn’t tell, lying what they couldn’t hide, persecuting what they couldn’t lie, they’re not whom they told you, they’re gangs.

 

101

The future is going nowhere.

 

102

I’ve said I took a photo requiring 50 years to prove them were totally ridiculous. Now with the ruling being over, it’s probably not gonna take that long.

 

103

One of the reasons that people should read original English books is that they can access to the original perspective from the author, without any censorship or distortion, since it’s a lot common under the Big Brother.

 

104

Don’t uphold the laws, uphold righteousness.

 

105

Using the connections to the system to make money is the only surviving way in this land.

 

106

Running dogs

 

107

So the book, Atomic Habits, really has the proper reasons to go viral. For me, it’s more like a set of life hacking methods, breaking down the way of human thinking, whether consciously or subconsciously, giving the instructions you can follow, also the brand new perspectives.

I’ve read some other similar books, but they are so hollow. This one is different, so specific.

 

108

Westerners are good at being self-confident.

 

109

There’re two effective strategies to fight against the unreasonable conformity: righteousness and the logic chains. And if there needs bonus one, it’s oughta be love.

 

110

Can a few people get out of the conclusion that neurologists discovered or they fit in the norms but in a different way to interpret it?

 

111

Patience, resistance, perseverance, willpower, energy, and even emotion, these are all consumables, which means they can be run out, while also could be replenished.

The key is time. There’s an intangibly variable limitation or threshold within a certain period, say, one day for better measurement. Once you reach its limitation, you just cannot get easily recovered, if not impossibly, whatever the meditation methods you use or the therapy you take within the time.

But there’re so many distracting things you can come across in everyday life in the way of learning or working, like the buzz or ringing from your phone, like the tantalizing smell of the junk food that wafts down from food shop in the way to hit the gym. Things like these eat off your finite energy, willpower, perseverance and all that. Every time you bump into these, you’re losing your consumables at some levels. Namely, the resistance against different temptations or the energy to take different activities is not isolated but correlated. The more resisting happens, the more energy you will cost, the more likely you cannot resist the next temptation.

 

112

Don’t throw in energy as much as possible at the very beginning. You probably couldn’t stick to it.

 

113

Chill out max, walking on the lane overshadowed, music and cicadas lingering around.

 

114

Undergraduates can be okay with not learning anything but the fitness and English. There’re so many fake press all around the world. Knowing another language can help people to reach the truth.

 

115

Enlightened from a Chinese medicine book I run into, I think it’s better perceive the Chinese medicine as a branch of the philosophy instead of a subject of science.

It’s extremely controversial when coming to this topic, which some people believe it’s a big lie involving substantial and dirty profits since there has many presses about the side effects of some Chinese medicines, whereas some people deeply believe of. Even Wikipedia warns latent risks of the Chinese medicines. From my perspective, the traditional Chinese medicine is so unreliable, since it can’t explain itself within its theories, even sometimes they’re contradictory.

The book came across is mainly based on the subject of the Chinese medicine, and the translated English book name is “Perceive the Chinese medicine in modernized way”. But in fact, it doesn’t refer to modernization or science. Ironically, despite of its name, it made several obvious mistakes. Anyway, basically, it’s a book persuading people to believe the Chinese medicine in a cunning way, with the cover’s saying – modernization.

But whatever the contents are, it is the one line that draws me attention and gives me a new insight to this subject.

We all know there’s a placebo effects in the modern medical treatments. The Chinese medicine is to patients who believe what placebo effects to patients who think they get the right treatment. So, comparing to modern medicines that have a lot of research you can pore over, it’s not the Chinese medicine worked efficiently but their beliefs.

See, surely, the Chinese medicine doesn’t align the theories of science at all, while it’s more close to to philosophies. 

If you don’t go along with what I’ve said, just picture it. Do the some philosophical theories only work to some certain people who believe it while others don’t as well as the Chinese medicine? The answer is clear enough. You can’t deny the Chinese medicine as well as philosophies.

People have been longing for power and under ruling way too long. How couldn’t they not be rapture? They’ve been in this fucking system way too long, either surrender or being surrendered.

Let me share with you a story from mine.

Something ridiculous I heard from a person I’m acquainted with in my college. At that point student has been treated unfairly for something I couldn’t remember the details. She said if she had the power, she would definitely have had other people taste this feeling.

“How ironic she can be!” That was the only line in then my mind.

People who had been treated unfairly don’t wanna change the damn situation itself, instead, they want to have others taste the torment they once had. People who they hate are the ones they eventually will become. And you tell me it’s called fate, it’s called human beings… We could all do better.

Before this event happened to me, I wouldn’t believe that’s the way how people react, but it truly reflects how badly people, at least some people, especially people in low ranks, would behave.

Maybe this kind of story could help explain why so many ridicule had happened in the past three years and MAYBE will happen in future.

Insidious body shame – hairiness shame, I hate it, but which I shouldn’t

3 June 2023 at 17:04
Insidious, corner of my culture

I hate body shames, discriminations, moral kidnapping and the rest, which I shouldn’t since “hate” is hatred itself, which I hate it too, hahaha, just kidding, you know what I mean. So back to the point, body shame, you’ve definitely heard of such words if you do surfing whatever your nationality is, and to be honest, it’s getting kinda one political correctness, but not all political correctnesses are harmful, at least not this one. Being who you plays a big role in the person’s mental health, which basically liberates you from anxieties, shames, insufficient-confidence, and we should be grateful for, cause our pioneers really poured their blood, sweat and tears.

Before we dive in this sort of shames, we should know that body shames basically are everywhere, they can pop up out of nowhere in everyday life, but to cover them all in this article is impossible. Maybe just let me focus on this hairiness shame this time, because summer, which is my favorite, is coming, and I wish everyone can expose their skin confidently, of course need to be legal instead of being in exhibitionism, and enjoy this beautiful season.

This sort of shames, what I’m gonna talk about here – hairiness shame, is insidious. In my perspective, it hides at the corner of our Asian culture, especially in main land China, in where we don’t really talk about sex or any topic relating sex, like STD – Sexually Transmitted Diseases, or sex education. And I know, I know there’s another shame on opposite side, lack of hairiness, but in my observation, that’s not common in my culture ,or say, not noticeable, cause lack thereof is coincidentally conforming to the culture, no sex on the surface, like an elephant in a room, ironically. Based on that cultural convention, no one will judge or even say anything about other’s body of lack of hairiness. But is that saying the lack thereof leads to no shaming situation? At least in my perspective, it isn’t, commonly it leads to the opposite side of hairiness shame, lack of thereof, but subconsciously and unobviously. To testify my suspicion, I’ll give you some real life instance later on in this article.

 

 

 

Who shames on others shames on their lack thereof

First, why I said body shame is pertinent to the sex topic? To root up this idea all is probably impossible, like a river derives from everywhere and you can’t find them all, they’re all intricately connected somehow. But there does have something you can peek through how things happened, and how come things happened. As you can see, body hair can show muscularities in some ways, and some people even consider hairy people have stronger sexual abilities or desires than others, which no evidence can prove that is scientifically true. Based on that insane fallacy, one connection between body hair and sex has been established before we perceive it consciously.

And to further, because people who have less body hair conform the main culture, they think they naturally have the right to judge people’s behaviors whose have more body hair, sometimes deliberately but sometimes unintentionally. For instance, “You’d better get a hair removal.” – I didn’t ask your advice, you’d better save your suggestions; “You’re wearing a hairy pants.” – because you’re wearing a short, getting skins more exposed and which you shouldn’t, underlaying the words; “Oh, you have lot of hair on your leg” with neutral moods – I mean, Yeah? And? What’s the point? Like I said, some conscious, some unconscious, being in such environments is not comfortable, for some individuals toxic. Like, if you’re an introvert, if you want to shut them up but indirectly and politely instead of saying “shut up, it’s not your business”, seemingly the only way you could do is put your pants and coats on and hide your skin away. And that’s ridiculous.

I don’t know if you’ve watched the movie named American Beauty or not. There’s one piece of plots that occurred me, one character, father, homophobia, named Frank in the film who eventually ironically kissed another man after a hug, named Lester, shot him to death after Lester told Frank that he misunderstood. By the way, that’s a great movie you should definitely watch if you still not. So are people who shame others on their hairiness similar to Frank? That’s a good question to me. Who shames on people’s hairiness shames on themselves’ lack thereof, what if that is true, what an irony it can be, don’t you think so?

And as I said before, no sex topics one the surface that can easily lead to the opposite side, everything can be sexual meaning, like (A) Oh, having lot of body hairs? A sex monster machine, (B) Exposing more skins? Wanting to get fucked or fuck. (C) Having more friends of the opposite sex? A slut or rack…

I mean, really? How superficial they can be?

 

 

 

Personal Story: Trauma, Healing

Okay, let me bring up some real life stories of mine to address that more clear.

First story happened in my middle school, and my “班主任”, which I know there’s no such job in western world, so I’ll just name it in English, “Head-Class”, which means a teacher who is in charges of a class, usually teaching of one of main major subjects, which in China are Chinese, Maths, English, Science, Sociology in middle school, managing students from personal behaviors to academic performances even if he or she is not the teacher of the subject(s), basically doing every school parenting things, which is literally correct since lot of parents think the only thing they need to do is to put kids into school and teachers should take care of everything educational, even their kids are not even at school.

So since he/she was way too overpowered, and considering a lot of students literally live in middle school – students cannot be allowed to back home over a half dozen days, how come? According to what I just mentioned, parents put their kids into, even in middle school, like me, even began with since elementary school. You can easily picture how bad it can be, and how easily he/she could do shitty things to you, only if he/she wanted to.

And unfortunately, my “head-class” was the exact one doing these shitty shaming things to me. So here’s the thing, my “head-class” liked nicknaming students, and most of these names were very offensive. Like if your Chinese name is “Xiaoming Li” and you have obvious leg hairs, he would name you as “腿毛明”, in English that means “leg hair Ming”, the end of part of this FUNNY nickname derives from part of your name. And he would call your nickname in public with his crooked smile, which he might think he’s funny, but I don’t get the point. To prevent that shitty things occurred to me, I’d never show my legs in public. To be honest, I wasn’t afraid of, but I just didn’t want to be the center of attentions, and luckily I didn’t.

At that moment, even I’d not formed my value view completely, I’d already known that was offensive. And even though the shitty thing didn’t happen to me directly, but it did prevent me from wearing shorts till I was in college, I finally had enough courage and confidence to put my shorts on after the battle of self-minds and self-healing. Yeah, didn’t do any therapy. Thinking back on, the reasons I didn’t stand out to point out the ridiculous and offensive are probably attributable to the environment and my age, the environment way too pressured, me way too young. As for now, who would give a fuck to, and probably give a lesson to.

 

 

 

Sheep

I healed my trauma, but some don’t still now, probably forever. Some of them still obsess with the hairless, joking about hairiness unconsciously, such as suggesting you do a hair removal out of nowhere or using the offensive words “毛裤”, which in English means “hairiness pants”. Okay, till now I still don’t get the point, is that hilarious? How come that can show your humor in that way? It’s mostly like I standing in front of someone, and then he/she tells me that I have one mouth, two eyes, two ears. And what’s the point or what do they expect me to reply? Maybe they would like this one – Okay, you know what? I have no idea about that! You’re a genius. And you should probably tell me MORE about it!

So, here’s anther solution, if you want to fight it back with your manners. Next time you come across such situations, you can use the Chinese word “青龙”, for male, ”白虎”, for female, both which are using for describing people body-hairless or barely having body hair, to fight it back if you don’t wanna give them a serious lesson, showing your wide-knowledges by lots of Chinese don’t even know that. And these words are not that offensive depending on the way the tone you speaking. Yeah, show them real humor and hit them back.

I thought joking their bodies is the privilege of the adolescents, turns out, I was wrong. Some of them still think having more body hair is funny. But that’s okay, even they’re still not grown-ups, the good thing is you’re a grow-up now, who knowing what’s correct and what isn’t. Healing from that trauma makes me care less about shits.

 

 

Recommendation: A Love Letter to Summer

I love summer, let me share some my treasure with you. To me, they’re a love letter to summer.

The Movie: Blue Gate Crossing; 蓝色大门
The Song: A Little Step, featuring Cheer Chen, album Groupies; 陈绮贞 -《小步舞曲》 – 《吉他手》

At the end of the article, wish you have a nice experience in summer, and get more skins exposed!

Hello, World!

2 June 2023 at 22:01

Saying “Hello, World!” is kinda conventional in the programming or computer field, it’s probably the first testifying sentence after building something up. But if you went through my website, particularly in the Archive page, you would realize there’s no any “hello world” statement stuff. Yeah, in fact I’d had another website and domain before, due to forgetting the payment of VPS fee, it’d been shut down forcedly without any datas remained. But that’s having been long time ago for me, and I don’t even remember what did I write.

Back to the topic, why didn’t I write such article since I kept running this web for several years till now? Okay, for the record, I’m not a political person, I’m not into any political propaganda, they seems like some kids games to me, boring – some of kids games are quite fun actually, but definitely not these ones, immature, self-deceptive and fooling the masses, and you know what specific area I’m talking about, since you can deduce based on the language I posting before.

Writing in English literally liberates me from endless censorship, which I wish I would not even give a fuck, which I couldn’t. Humorously speaking, Monica has seven zones, but the party, they seemingly have uncountable zones. You can easily hit the right point without even noticing, sometimes it even leads to funny but pathetic situations. As I said before, I can’t address my thoughts too clear because I need to protect myself, so if you’re interested in, plz don’t come to me with that kind of questions, Wikipedia is a better option. So, to recap, to embrace the real Internet and freedom is the one of my motivations to write in English.

Okay, that’s the perspective in the future, how about the perspective in the past?

Have you ever heard of the theory that we generations, Gen Z, are digital natives? That which means we’re given births in a world with Internet already, and didn’t experience, say, primitive life, and we generations probably take it as granted, which is part of the reasons that we’re called digital natives, I guess.

Writing this article or, even say, establishing this website is kind of my way commemorating the old days, which is pretty prevalent back to the very days. When I was in the kindergarten, I started surfing, which in China, that’s not very common owing to the economical conditions.

One thing I remember that I was so into the electric piano at that time, but my sister’s computer took my piano place. Yeah, no longer music stuff. Sometimes, I just wonder that what if it hadn’t token place, things would have been. Seemingly it’s a sad story, a young boy who lost his little dream, but it isn’t fairly enough. After the computer appeared to my life, I was quickly fascinated with it, and since I started playing computer early on, basically I was helping my classmates repair their computers every time the teacher was standing at the classroom podium, giving a lecture.

Due to the my early on abilities of surfing, I explored massive digital entertainment from the Internet, like forums, small websites, personal blogs, etcetera. And I wanna be one of these.

 

So, what kind of topics will this blog cover? Here’re main categories, humanities and culture, arts, techniques and daydreams. I run a podcast with one of my friends, I do photograph, I used to work in medias industry and I shared some knowledges, and other life stuffs. Wish you enjoy my website.

真菌感染诊断及自救参考|马拉色菌(糠秕孢子)真菌感染致使的毛囊炎

18 April 2023 at 21:44

 

“To Cure Sometimes, To Relieve Often, To Comfort Always.”
“有时治愈 常常缓解 总是安慰”

 

前言

之前写了一篇《胆碱能性荨麻疹自救参考》反响还不错,居然真的收到了表示感谢的邮件。不得不说,这给我提供了编写这一篇内容的动力。所以,今天让我来说说除了自身免疫系统之外,另一大疾病类型——感染,说的更具体一些,感染中的真菌感染。

不过,和过往任何一篇医学相关文章一些,首先是一些警示和免责申明。

⚠️本人并不具备任何医学相关专业背景,以下内容不可作为医疗建议使用,请仅供参考。本人不负责任何法律责任。

⚠️本篇文章目标人群是免疫系统正常的人群,罹患一些先天性或后天性的免疫系统疾病或免疫系统异常的人群,请勿参考文章内的任何部分,请务必遵循医师的专业建议。

 

 

诊断

感染的三大类,真菌感染、病毒感染、细菌感染,其中皮肤的病毒感染性状最易区分,其具体表现、也最常见的就是各类“疣”,“跖疣”、“丝状疣”、“扁平疣”、“尖锐湿疣”……都属于病毒感染中HPV感染这一类,根据生长位置以及性状表现的不同,他们的名称也不一样,有兴趣的可以去看看图片,很好辨别。

难以辨别的就是真菌感染和细菌感染了,甚至有些时候缺乏经验的医师都会判断失误。

我倒是可以告诉你一些判断技巧,首先细菌感染导致的毛囊炎,往往独立分布,不会出现连成一片的情况,此外,细菌感染一段时间后皮下会出现黄白色的脓液,而真菌感染往往脓液不多或者取而代之的是各类渗出液和糜烂。

还是不好判断是吧,如果你的病情没有那么严重,而且现实情况也不能支持你去医院就诊,你倒是可以尝试在皮肤的某一小块“做做实验”,不过切记不可大面积使用,万一不是细菌感染的话,这样使用会加重病情。

实验方法很简单,拿点抗生素软膏(不能含激素 最好是非复方药物)按说明书上的方法使用2-3天,类似于莫匹罗心之类的常见抗生素软膏都可以,如果2-3天后没有任何好转、甚至加重了,我敢说,十有八九就是真菌感染了。你最好找时间去医院找医生开一个真菌镜检,检查一般很快就能出结果。

如果你确诊了真菌感染,我建议你去搜索看糠秕孢子真菌毛囊炎或者马拉色菌毛囊炎,相关图片容易引起不适,我就不放了。如果你发现图片和你的情况长得差不多,那么看来你完全就是本篇文章的目标人群。

另外,需要注意的是,虽然毛囊炎大体上可以被分为细菌感染和真菌感染,不过也会出现并和感染的情况,这种情况我还是推荐你听从一些有经验的医师的建议,不要再盲目自己身体上搞实验了,一般来说会优先考虑治疗当前发展状况更严重的感染。

 

 

治疗 – 概览

首先,你需要和我之前一样调整心态,毕竟这将会是一段不时间短的治疗历程,一般来说需要2-3个月的治疗。我知道皮肤大面积的性状改变会让人感到不愉快和焦虑,这可能会加重你的精神压力,或许你需要正念冥想、转移注意力等方式调整心态,因为心态的变化对这类疾病的治疗也一样重要。

但说起来真菌感染的传染力并不那么强,之所以会出现感染,你或许可以考虑是否是近期免疫力下降或生活环境不卫生等原因导致的。免疫力下降的因素可能有很多,切记不要把真菌感染与HIV联系起来,他们两者之间没有绝对关系(我看不少资料和社交媒体上都在提及糠秕孢子真菌感染时提到了HIV),不要恐“艾”,不要加重精神负担。

关于马拉色菌/糠秕孢子真菌你需要知道的是,他们以皮肤分泌的油脂为“食”。本属的物种自然存在于人和动物的皮肤上,该属物种有时会造成机会性感染。以马拉色菌属中秕糠马拉癣菌种为代表案例的感染,它尤其存在尤其是存在于脂腺发达的地方。

此外,糠秕孢子真菌不仅可以导致毛囊炎,一部分的花斑癣也是由其导致的,花斑癣另一种致病菌则为球型马拉色菌。

 

治疗 – 药物

药物的选择上主要有两个方向,抑制皮脂腺分泌油脂和抗真菌药物。前者通过抑制真菌所需要的养分的产生,进而抑制真菌的生长繁殖,后者直接对抗/杀死真菌。

可使用的药物如下(不完整):

  • 异维A酸/维A酸(口服)
  • 维A酸乳膏/阿达帕林(外用)
  • 广谱抗真菌药物(口服)
    • 伊曲康唑、艾沙康唑(等各种“康唑”类)
  • 广谱抗真菌药物(外用)
    • 硝酸咪康唑乳膏
    • 盐酸特比萘芬
    • 硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏

 

让我一个个来说。

⚠️如果你近一年有备孕计划(无论男女),你都不能使用异维A酸和维A酸乳膏等类似药物,这类药物有很强的致畸风险(外用稍微好些)!也就是说,用完这类药物之后一年内不可以怀孕或为其提供精子。不仅如此,部分研究表明,服用异维A酸会产生不可逆的皮脂腺及黏膜分泌减少,简单来说就是皮肤会很干。当然,他们还有别的副作用,具体的请听村医师建议或查看相关说明书。个人的建议是,如果外用抗真菌药物效果不错的话,就不要再增加药物了。

广谱抗真菌药物(以伊曲康唑为例),其实就我个体体验来说,效果并不明显。况且这货有一定的肝毒性,如果你一定要长期用(1-2个月就算长期了),你最好定期去医院查一下肝功能,对了,如果你对自己的身体情况不了解,使用前也需要去医院检查肝功能之后再使用。针对与伊曲康唑这个药,我再给你说一个可能会颠覆你认知的事,口服时,为了达到最好的疗效,你不能空腹服用,吃完饭之后最好搭配可乐或者橙汁一起服用🤯。这可不是我乱说的,在酸性的环境下可以增加伊曲康唑的吸收。——来自wikipedia

抗真菌药物乳膏类中,可见不少本来用于治疗脚气、股藓等我都罗列到这上面了,因为确实本质功能上他们都类似。但是我就我单个个体经验来看,其中硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏效果最好,其他广谱抗真菌药物针对于马拉色菌导致的毛囊炎效果并不明显。

总结,个人看来,仅有抗真菌药物乳膏类(硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏)是必要的,其他的除非是医生建议或者你的病情比较严重才考虑使用。

最后,你可能会考虑经济上的问题。硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏虽然效果很好,淘宝就能买到,但是价格却算不上平价,特别是当你还是学生或者没有缴纳职工社保,伊曲康唑是走不了医保的。虽然单支硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏并没有让人高攀不起,但是考虑到往往需要2-3个月的治疗,以及马拉色菌导致的毛囊炎很有可能是大面积的,总体算下来你需要使用的药量并不少的。

结合其他药物的风险性,除了病程严重期,除了硝酸奥昔康唑乳膏我并不是很推荐你使用。

 

 

预防和防复发

相比药物的使用,我认为做好预防自体传播和防复发更为重要。首先来复习一下初中科学,传染病的三大要素,传染源(病原体)、传播途径、宿主。只要切断传播链中任何一段都可以中止传染病的发生。

和脚气一样,真菌感染头疼就头疼在其“根深蒂固”,需要长时间的治疗,所以很有可能这一块皮肤还没好,另一块又开始了。我认为大多数人的最大的问题就是没有实践好卫生这一概念。包括我家里人在内的老一辈都认为手洗的一定比机器洗的更干净,或许从肉眼上来看你们是对,毕竟一些比较顽固的污渍、油渍洗衣机不一定能很好的清洁。但如果以微生物的角度来看,传统的手洗一定是比不上一套完整的洗烘流程的。

我敢说,如果你有条件请严格遵顺我下面的步骤,你的免疫系统正常,正确且坚持使用药物两个月,你的情况一定能好转的。

1. 所有的贴身衣物换下来用开水浸泡5-20分钟(随你喜欢),水最好漫过衣物。不用担心开水会损坏衣物,因为你的贴身衣物正常来说就是要定期更换的,既然如此,那么坏了就换。
2. 浸泡完后,放入洗衣机,根据量加入洗衣液、洗衣消毒液(威露士之类的),如果你的洗衣机有高温洗的功能请开起此项功能(60度就很够了,不需要开到80度及以上)。
3. 洗完后及时放到烘干机内烘干,现在绝大多数烘干机都有紫外线消毒功能。如果没有烘干机的,万分推荐有条件的去添置一台,价格不用很贵两三千的就很够用了。如果是租房不方便或者学生党的话,请挑大晴天洗衣物,衣服可以放几天再洗,但是洗完就要立刻晒干/烘干。

遵顺以上步骤,集齐高温(充足的时间)、消毒液、紫外线、干燥条件,可以说就算上面还残留💩,那也是干净的💩。

内裤和袜子其实是同理的,只要你心里能过得去那道关,恭喜你从无尽的家务事中解脱出来了。

 

 

结语

其实这篇文章不仅仅是针对马拉色菌毛囊炎,任何的真菌感染,都有可以借鉴的地方,而其中的预防和防复发板块是最重要的,可以说,这是我从疾病中学到的最重要的一件事。

而现在,无论现在看到这篇文章的你正处于病程的哪一阶段,调整好心态,它不难治愈,不要让生理健康影响了你的健康。

Love&Peace

Books & Z-Library | The Built-in Application and the ‘Biggest’ Libraries in the World

Maybe you guys deleted the books app once you’ve gotten a new iPhone, especially the function of ‘book store’ doesn’t work in mainland China, so all you can see is a blank in this app, but what if I told you that you have some remedies to read books in this app? Before we get started, let me clarify somethings, first you can easily redownload the BOOK app on the AppStore, then you can’t access the bookstore doesn’t mean you can’t use the whole app, you still can import books that you download from the internet.

也许你们在拥有新iPhone后删除了书籍应用,特别是在中国大陆,‘书店’功能不可用,所以你在这个应用程序中只能看到一个空白,但如果我告诉你,在这个应用程序中,你有一些阅读书籍的方法呢?在我们开始之前,让我澄清一些事情,首先,你可以轻松地在App Store上重新下载BOOK应用程序,然后无法访问书店并不意味着你不能使用整个应用程序,你仍然可以导入从互联网上下载的书籍。

Here it is, Z-Library. I kind of like the concept that it expresses, even I know technically it’s illegal and it’s literally a piracy action. But still, it really brings me back to the days when the Internet wasn’t as thriving as it is nowadays. The whole concept is mainly about getting everyone educated without financial problems, since all books are free for everyone who can access the Internet in this website. I’m not gonna say it’s totally a kindness, even it does help people who are in the financial backwardness at least for now, and in my perception, knowledge and education shouldn’t be some ‘‘rich’’ people’s privileges, right? Everyone around the world has the right of getting educated. On the other side, it does infringes some people’ rights. As for these people, they really make a lot of efforts on it, not only these writers but also the publisher. And don’t even mention the costumers who paid the real money for the books. So what would you say, it’s kind of a judgment call, it’s literally up to you.

这就是它,Z-Library。我还挺喜欢喜欢它所表达的概念,即使我知道严格来说上它不大合法、是一种盗版行为。但是,它确实让我回到了互联网不像现在这样繁荣的日子。它所传达的理念是让每个人在没有财务负担的情况下接受教育,因为在这个网站上,所有的书籍对每个可以访问互联网的人都是免费的。我不会说这完全是一种善意的行为,即使它现在确实帮助了那些暂处于经济窘境的人,但在我的看法中,知识和教育不应该是一些‘’富‘’人的特权,对吧?世界上每个人都有接受教育的权利。另一方面,它确实侵犯了一些人的权利。对于这些人来说,他们确实付出了很多努力,不仅是这些作家,还有出版商,更别提那些付出真钱购买书籍的客户了。那么你会说什么呢?在我看来其实并非黑白,是与非完全取决于你的判断。

Then, use or not, make you own decision. Here I’m gonna give you some quick views here, instead of leading you deeply, cause I don’t wanna risk it to teach you how to use it step-by-step, like how you setup the network, how you access the websites and things like that. It can rise the law problems in the mainland China, I’m just gonna say the following website that I give you still works, if you can’t access it, that will be your networking problem, hope you can get the point.

然后,使用或不使用,由你来决定。在这里,我带你速览,而不是深入引导你,因为我不想“冒险”地逐步教你如何使用它,比如如何设置网络,如何访问网站等。这可能会在部分地区引起法律问题。你只需要知道,我给你的下面这个网站仍然有效,如果你无法访问它,那将是你的网络问题,希望你懂我的意思。

After you register, you can see a website like that, as you can see there’re enormous books, I highly recommend you download the EPUB format if you choose Apple Book app for reading. And it would be best if the books you prefer existed here and was formatted as the natural EPUB format, cause it’ll rise some annoying problems, such as layouts, picture missing, wrong words and so on, if you have to choose the converted the EPUB format to read.

完成注册后,你会看到一个类似于这样的网站,其中有大量的书籍可供选择。如果你选择使用Apple Book应用程序来阅读,我强烈建议你下载EPUB格式的书籍。如果这有你想要的书籍,并且如果是是原生EPUB的,那就更好了。因为如果你不得不选择转换格式来进行阅读,可能会遇到一些令人烦恼的问题,例如布局问题、图片缺失、错字等。

The limitation of downloading is 10 books within per 24hrs for free, it’s enough for most cases, but if you want additional 10 books for free within the 24hrs, you can connect your Z-Lib account to the telegram bot, not only for people who want to up their limitation for free, but also for who are ”lazy” like me. It’s much handier to search a book, download a book in the telegram bot. The setup is not tricky, follow the step-by-step guide the website gave, then all set.

每24小时免费下载的限制是10本书,对大多数情况来说已经足够了。但如果你想在24小时内再免费下载10本书,你可以将你的Z-Lib账户连接到Telegram机器人上。这不仅适用于想要免费增加下载数量的人,也适用于像我这样的“懒人”。在Telegram机器人中搜索书籍并下载书籍会更方便。设置并不复杂,按照网站提供的逐步指南进行设置即可。

Now, I assume you had the ebooks, open the ebooks by using the Apple Book App, it will automatically import to the app.

现在,我假设你已经拥有了电子书,在Apple Book应用程序中打开电子书,它将自动导入到应用程序中。

Now, tap on any imported books, enjoy it.
(BTW, you can categorize these books as I did like left bottom side. Click “Edit” button on the top-right side then you’ll know how.)

现在,点击任何已导入的书籍,开始享受阅读吧。
(顺便说一下,你可以像我一样将这些书籍分类,就像左下角那样。点击右上角的“编辑”按钮,你就会知道如何操作。)

顺便一提,点击这个按钮,你可以在阅读时保持滚动,而不是翻页。

Make sure you’ve already turned on the backup settings of Apple Book App, so that you can synchronize all the informations across all the Apple devices you have.

确保你已经打开了Apple Book应用程序的备份设置,这样你就可以在所有你拥有的Apple设备之间同步所有信息。

 

Same on macOS. Then, have a great fun. Btw, the best experience you can get is using the other countries/regions’ Apple ID, but it’s not a good choice for everyone, it will lead other annoying problems such as payment method, reliability(Apple may ban your account) and so on. To cap, it’s up to you.

macOS上也是如此。然后,尽情享受。顺便说一下,你可以通过使用其他国家/地区的Apple ID来获得最佳体验,但这不适用于每个人,它会带来其他令人烦恼的问题,比如支付方式、可靠性(Apple可能会封禁你的账户)等等。总之,这取决于你。

 

 

Dictionary & Spotlight & Lookup

Do you unlock your phone, find an app, open it, wait for it, type the words, wait for it, simply because you just wanna figure out some words’ meanings? Don’t you feel it’s such a hassle? Here’s a better option for you.

你是否因为只是想查找一些单词的含义,而需要解锁手机、找到应用程序、打开它、等待它,然后输入文字、等待它,感觉非常麻烦?这里有一个更好的选择。

Spotlight – The tool that you maybe haven’t fully utilized its potentiality. Pull down on your home screen or lock screen, type random words you’re looking for, even without unlock your iPhone or iPad. Pretty handy, huh? And on macOS, the shortcut of the Spotlight is “COMMAND + SPACE”.

Spotlight——这个工具,你可能还没有充分发挥它的潜力。在你的主屏幕或锁定屏幕上向下拉,输入你要查找的随机单词,甚至不需要解锁你的iPhone或iPad。相当方便,对吧?在macOS上,Spotlight的快捷键是“COMMAND + SPACE”。

Then dictionary, maybe you’re not satisfied with the default dictionaries, you want more. Through Setting – General – Dictionary on your iPhone and iPad, select some dictionaries you prefer. Once you’ve downloaded and clicked on, you can use it in the spotlight.

然后是字典,也许你对默认的字典不满意,想要更多更棒的功能。通过在你的iPhone和iPad上的设置-通用-字典中,选择你喜欢的一些字典。一旦你下载并点击了它,你就可以在Spotlight中使用它。

Further, here’re some advance usages on macOS, you can import some third-part resources of dictionaries into the dictionary app. Yeah, here’s an individual app on macOS. But, thanks to Apple’s artificial limitations on iOS system, you can’t add third-part resources to the dictionary, and you can’t open an app like macOS does either.

此外,在macOS上,你可以将一些第三方字典资源导入到字典应用程序中。是的,在macOS上有一个独立的应用程序。但是,由于苹果在iOS系统上人为地限制了一些功能,你不能像在macOS上那样添加第三方资源到字典中,也不能像在macOS上那样打开一个应用程序。

You can also find some third-part resources on the Internet, but I highly recommend this one, LDOCE, aka, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. There’re two main versions on the Internet, LDOCE5 and LDOCE6. So, what’s the difference between them, huh? Let Chat-GPT tell you.

你也可以在互联网上找到一些第三方资源,但我强烈推荐这个,LDOCE (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English),即Longman当代英语词典。互联网上有两个主要版本,LDOCE5和LDOCE6。那么,它们有什么区别呢?让Chat-GPT告诉你。

—————————

LDOCE 5 is the 5th edition of the dictionary, which was published in 2009. This edition features over 230,000 words, phrases, and meanings, as well as over 165,000 examples of how to use the words in context. It also includes a CD-ROM with interactive exercises and games to help users improve their English language skills.

总之,LDOCE 6是LDOCE 5的更新和扩展版本,拥有更多的单词、功能和工具,帮助用户提高英语语言技能。

Why Apple Dictionary App? Let me explain it for you.

为什么使用苹果字典应用程序?让我为你解释一下。

1. It’s a mono-language/English-English dictionary.
2. Each example sentence has real human pronunciation. (English English, if you prefer American accent, it can’t satisfy you well at least at this part, but we can progress that problem through some alternative ways) But each single word has two pronunciations.
3. Word family, thesaurus, collocation and so on. As the literal meanings of these names, this book not only explain the words you’re looking for, and also list related words, synonyms, phrases, idioms. So not like some dual-languages dictionaries, you’re not gonna only know the meaning of the words in translation, you can master the words with this dictionary’s help.
4. Don’t be panic about mono-language dictionary, the explanations are pretty simple. Using the core vocabulary to explain the words is pretty easy to comprehend, the core vocabulary capacity is about 3000 words, they’re all not sophisticated words, spending 1-3 months would be sufficient. Remember don’t try to memorize all the spellings, thanks to modern tech tools, the writing and spellings are less essential than before, why do I say that? If you don’t believe that theory, just think about yourself, are your Chinese spellings getting worse since you’re no longer a student or the time you finished your ‘高考’? But it doesn’t influence your communication, the grammar checker will help you improve your spellings, I’m not saying spellings is not a big thing, I just think we can spend the very limited time on something more fruitful.
5. No ADs and free!
6. Of curse, there’re plenty and not bad dictionary apps we can choose especially on macOS, why we choose the built-in dictionary app? Yeah, that’s an easy one, simply because it’s built-in. Move your cursor on the word, force touch your touchpad with a single finger, then a window pops up, now you can see the definitions and explanations immediately, pretty handy if you ask.

1. 这是一本单语/英语-英语词典。
2. 每个例句都有真人发音。(如果你喜欢美式英语口音,它可能无法完全满足你的需求,但我们可以通过其他替代方法解决这个问题)但每个单词都有两种发音。
3. 词族、同义词词典、搭配等等。正如这些名称的字面意义,这本书不仅解释你正在寻找的单词,还列出了相关单词、同义词、短语、习语。因此,不像一些双语词典,你不仅会知道单词在翻译中的含义,还可以在这本词典的帮助下掌握这些单词。
4. 不要惊慌,单语词典的解释非常简单。使用核心词汇来解释单词非常容易理解,核心词汇容量约为3000个单词,它们都不是复杂的单词,花费1-3个月就足够了。记住不要试图记住所有的拼写,由于现代技术工具的发展,写作和拼写比以前不那么重要了,为什么我这样说?如果你不相信这个理论,只需想想你自己,你的汉语拼写是否自你不再是学生或你完成“高考”以来变得更糟糕了?但它并不影响你的交流,语法检查器将帮助你提高你的拼写,我并不是说拼写不重要,我只是认为我们可以把非常有限的时间花在更有成效的事情上。
5. 没有广告,而且免费!
6. 当然,我们可以选择很多不错的词典应用程序,尤其是在macOS上,为什么选择内置的字典应用程序?是的,这很简单,只是因为它是内置的。将鼠标光标移到单词上,在触控板上用一个手指强制点击,然后一个窗口弹出,现在你可以立即看到定义和解释,非常方便。

 

But due to macOS, we are still limited in few parts.

但是由于macOS的限制,我们仍然在一些方面受到限制。

– One, we can’t click on the button within the popped up lookup window to pronounce the word, which you do can use this function within the Apple dictionary app.
– Two, dark mode, the third-part dictionary sources commonly aren’t flawless, especially dark mode, but we can modify a specific file to work on that, but the pope up window of the lookup function can’t be repaired (but if you find a way, please let me know, thx).
– Three, the resources of dictionaries are very restricted. As apple usual, Apple Dictionary uses the exclusive format – 「.dictionary」, which isn’t a prevalent format over the mainstream. Unfortunately, the plenty great dictionaries are formatted as MDict, Stardict, GoldenDict, and stuff. They’re not available on macOS. You wouldn’t be limited within several selections, unless you converted them to the Apple dictionary format on your own. But trust me, that can’t be easy, even there’re some tutorials and tools you can find out on Internet, you have to fix several files errors before you actually use it within Apple Dictionary app, otherwise the experience would be complete a disaster.
– Dictionary doesn’t support JS(A scripting language). That means you can’t fold and unfold the selection such as thesaurus, word family, examples, phrases and so on. It will dazzle you if you list all possible features simultaneously, cause you can’t hide them. But if you choose hide all of them, you just hide all the merits of this dictionary, seem like we’re in a dilemma, right? Ok, at least we have an alternative way to avoid some of issues, not perfect, but can be better. Remember the fore-showed picture of the dictionary setting on macOS? It gives you some selection, if you uncheck the selection(like Chinese), it won’t show up. But to notice, not every third-part dictionary supports this feature.

– 一、我们无法在弹出的查找窗口内点击按钮来发音单词,但在苹果字典应用程序中,你可以使用这个功能。
– 二、暗黑模式,第三方词典资源通常不完善,特别是暗黑模式,但我们可以修改一个特定的文件来解决这个问题,但是查找功能的弹出窗口无法修复(但是如果你找到一种方法,请告诉我,谢谢)。
– 三、词典资源非常有限。和苹果一贯的做法一样,苹果字典使用独占格式 – 「.dictionary」,这不是主流的普遍格式。不幸的是,很多优秀的词典都是格式化为MDict、Stardict、Goldendict等格式,它们在macOS上不可用。除非你将它们转换为苹果字典格式,否则你不会受到几个选择的限制。但是相信我,这并不容易,即使你可以在互联网上找到一些教程和工具,在你实际在苹果字典应用程序中使用它之前,你必须修复几个文件错误,否则体验将是完全的灾难。
– 四、字典不支持JS(一种脚本语言)。这意味着你无法折叠和展开选择,比如同义词词典、词族、例句、短语等。如果你同时列出所有可能的特点,那会让你眼花缭乱,因为你无法隐藏它们。但是如果你选择隐藏它们,你只是隐藏了这个词典的所有优点,似乎我们陷入了两难境地,对吗?好吧,至少我们有一种替代方法来避免一些问题,虽然不完美,但可以更好。还记得在macOS上显示字典设置的图片吗?它给你一些选择,如果你取消选择(比如中文),它就不会显示。但需要注意的是,并不是每个第三方词典都支持这个功能。

Nevertheless, after the comprehensive consideration, if that’s still accessible for you, the highly recommended dictionary on macOS is this one —— 《朗文当代高级英语辞典》by yuhaowin. You can find out the download link at this website. It’s handy to install and use.

不过,如果综合考虑后,你能接受上面这些缺点的话,在macOS上强烈推荐的词典是《朗文当代高级英语辞典》by yuhaowin。你可以在这个网站上找到下载链接。它很方便安装和使用。

 

https://v2ex.com/t/907272

 

If you’re an Apple guy, I guess you would love the dark mode feature. But as I fore-mentioned, this dictionary doesn’t support dark mode perfectly, here’s the remedy. Find this CSS file at this following path, and add the codes into it at the end.

如果你是苹果用户,我猜你会喜欢暗黑模式功能。但正如我之前提到的,这个词典并不完美地支持暗黑模式,这里有一个解决方法。在以下路径中找到这个CSS文件,并在末尾添加代码。

/Users/your user name/Library/Dictionaries/LDOCE5.dictionary/Contents/Resources/DefaultStyle.css
(E.g, mine is “/Users/ts/Library/Dictionaries/LDOCE5.dictionary/Contents/Resources/DefaultStyle.css”)

@media (prefers-dark-interface)
{
html {
-apple-color-filter: apple-invert-lightness();
}
a {
-apple-color-filter: apple-invert-lightness();
color: -webkit-link;
}
img {
filter: invert(0);
}
}

The lookup window still isn’t perfect, but at least it fixes the error within the dictionary app. BTW, I suggest you turn off the Chinese selection since you’re gonna immerse the language environment. I’m not gonna say this’s the best option of dictionary apps on macOS, but it has its own special advantages, so, depending on you.

虽然查找窗口仍然不完美,但至少它修复了字典应用程序中的错误。顺便说一句,我建议你关闭中文选项,因为你需要沉浸在语言环境中。我不会说这是macOS上最好的字典应用程序选项,但它有它自己的特殊优点,所以,这取决于你。

Without of persistence about built-in apps, there’s several ’‘better‘’ chooses. Here’s a quick peek about it, maybe I’ll give you the tutorial in the next article~

放弃对内置应用程序的坚持,这有几个‘’更好‘’的选择。在这我给你简单的展示一下界面,也许我会在下一篇文章中给你介绍教程~

Spelling and Grammar Checker

Whatever you name them, this feature has already been in you devices, this is a great feature, relief you from endless self-doubt of spelling, and that’s the reason I recommend you don’t have to memorize the spelling, the pronunciation and the phrases and example sentences are much more essential.

无论你如何称呼它们,这个功能已经存在于你的设备中,这是一个很棒的功能,让你从无尽的拼写自我怀疑中解脱出来,这也是我推荐你不必记忆拼写的原因,发音和短语和例句更为重要。

I mean how many times you actually write English words in the real life besides you’re a student nowadays? And how difficult these words can be? Once you‘ve remembered the pronunciation, it will pop up several possible words after you typed several first letters or you just spelled the several words in a wrong way, but it will correct it automatically after you tapped on the space key on keyboard. This scenario is similar to typing in Chinese, like we ZheJiang Province People don’t usually distinct ‘’前后鼻音’’ like the phonetic symbols in English, /n/ and /ŋ/. But it doesn’t bother me, since I can use ‘模糊音’(Fuzzy Pinyin) function in input, and it doesn’t influence my daily communication.

除非你现在是一名学生,否则你有多少次在现实生活中实际手写英语单词?再者,这些单词有多难?一旦你记住了发音,当你输入几个首字母或者你拼错了某些单词时,它会弹出几个可能的单词,但是在你按下键盘上的空格键之后,它会自动纠正。这种情况类似于输入中文,就像我们浙江人不通常区分英语中的音标符号/n/和/ŋ/。但这并不困扰我,因为我可以使用输入中的“模糊音”功能,况且这也不会影响我的日常交流。

I watched lot of YouTube recently, these people who learnt English well on their own lighted me, they didn’t spend much time on memorizing spellings either. I mean really, why should I spend lot of time on these? The modern technology is pretty advance, and I’m a tech guy, it’s just not worth.

最近我看了很多YouTube视频,那些自学英语学得很好的人给了我启示,他们也没有花太多时间去记忆拼写。我现在开始怀疑为什么我要花那么多时间在这上面呢?现代技术非常先进,而我时常拥抱新技术,背单词拼写根本不值得。

 

Podcast & RSS Subscribe

How many apple built-in apps haven’t been discovered? This must be one of them. I was a Podcast fan when I was a sophomore, it’s a stressless way whether you’re gonna improve your English listening, you’re on your way home, or you wanna some gossips… There’re alway some suitable shows for you.

还有多少个苹果内置应用程序没有被发现呢?这一定是其中之一。我在大二的时候就是一个播客迷,无论你是要提高英语听力,还是在回家的路上,或者想听一些八卦…总会有一些适合你的节目。

Accessibility / Spoken Content

Now, the final part of this article, Accessibility. As its name shows, accessibility is used to help disable persons, btw, Apple’s accessibility is industry-leading, Apple really makes a lot of efforts with it. But for us English learners, it can be more than the ‘accessibility’.

现在,来到这篇文章的最后一部分,无障碍功能。顾名思义,无障碍功能用于帮助残障人士,顺便说一句,苹果的无障碍功能是业界领先的,苹果确实在这方面做出了很多努力。但对于我们英语学习者来说,它可以不仅仅是“无障碍功能”。

First, you can go to ‘Setting – Accessibility – Speak Selection’ to turn on this function on iOS devices. As for macOS, ‘Setting – Speak Content’. And make sure that you turned on “Highlight Content” feature, so that you can monitor which one sentence and word is currently being spoken.

首先,你可以在iOS设备上进入“设置-无障碍-朗读选择”来打开这个功能。对于macOS,是“设置-朗读内容”。并确保你打开了“高亮内容”功能,这样你就可以监视当前正在朗读的句子和单词。

Then, you can choose the voice that is used, in my personal experience, Siri’s voice sounds pretty good. Thanks to the AI thriving, Siri’s voice now is really natural and sometimes you even can hear the tone and the gap between words and words when Siri speaks. But due to limited AI computation of Intel processor, it sounds less natural and human-like on Intel Mac, but since new product lines all switch to the Apple Silicon(Apple’s own Processor), the structure architecture is basically same to the A series Chips, the Siri’s Speaking should be same as iOS devices, unfortunately I don’t have the new Mac, I can’t help you experience it, I just hope my thoughts are right.

然后,你可以选择使用的语音,在我个人的经验中,Siri的声音听起来非常好。由于人工智能的发展,Siri的声音现在非常自然,有时你甚至可以听到Siri说话时单词和单词之间的语调和间隔。但由于Intel处理器的有限人工智能计算能力,它在Intel Mac上听起来不太自然和类人,但是由于新的产品线都转向了苹果自己的处理器(苹果自己的芯片),结构架构基本上与A系列芯片相同,Siri的说话应该与iOS设备相同,不幸的是我没有新的Mac,无法帮助你体验它,我只希望我的想法是正确的。

The usage is pretty easy, on iOS, long-press the words or sentences you want to hear, and press the speak button, the method just like I fore-mentioned lookup feature. And things are little different on macOS, it supports shortcuts, as the following picture I show you, the default shortcut is “Option+Esc”.

使用方法非常简单,在iOS上,长按你想听的单词或句子,然后按下朗读按钮,方法就像我之前提到的查找功能一样。在macOS上,事情有点不同,因为它支持快捷键。如下图所示,默认的快捷键是“Option+Esc”。

That’s all, then go have fun in the cyberspace.

Ok,开心地去互联网上冲浪吧~

I know you won’t be satisfied with these elementary tools, so maybe I’ll take you further to exploit the fabulous cyberspace someday, like the most prevalent tool nowadays – ChatGPT, or even telegram. Since I don’t wanna risk it, I definitely won’t post it on the WeChat channel, so if you’re interested in, go to my website to find out after I post it.

Breaking Down the Network’s Terminologies

10 March 2023 at 18:44

Recommendations of Materials

• Always Wikipedia !!! (But to be honest it’s not really friendly to very first)

• YouTube Channel named ‘PowerCert Animated Videos’ (Highly Recommended, have no stress to learn, and their animations are pretty naughty sometimes)

Describes | For the Record

I didn’t prioritize the accuracy of descriptions and depth of contents when I’m writing, the aim of this assay is having a quick glance at these sophisticated terminologies, letting you comprehend how them work matters. So if you wanna delve into them, go to the Wikipedia ,Google ,YouTube, some personal blogs and stuffs, they’re better than mine in that aspects.

Well, as you can see, I’m not a professional ITer, I learnt it just for fun and curiosity. It may have some subtle flaws in this article, and I wrote this essay mainly because I’m on the way of learning English, so tell me what exactly the issues are, I’d love to and be really thankful to get improved it.

Now, enjoy the article.

Opening

You may frequently heard about following terminologies in very daily Internet routines, some like public IP address, private IP address, Domain, IPv4, IPv6, port, etc. They seemly are too abstract to be understood for beginners. So let me break them down in a less painful way to you, soon you’ll comprehend them as you perceive the realistic world.

Perceive Internet as the mail system

The operation behind the Internet is more like the network of the mail system, have you ever wondered how other’s messages can precisely and accurately convey to you phone rather than the other random guys? Well, just as the real world does, your home locates on a specific address with name of country, province, district, street, unit, house number and stuffs, the Internet network does have things like that. So further, you literally can perceive the terminologies as indicators that what exactly roles they played in the part of realistic world’s mail system, things may get some inappreciable differences between the real world and the theoretical cyberspace as you delve further in, but it doesn’t hinder your comprehension, you’ll find the slight discrepancies and comprehend them better ultimately.

For easier understanding, I’ll name another subtitle each part of them, so you can picture it before you get started.

IP Address | Your House Number

If you wanna mail your friend a package, you have to give the mailman a location that where you’re and where your friend is. The location seem like ‘xxx country, xxx province, xxx district, xxx street, xxx unit, xxx number’, and the most common location in cyberspace is like ‘192.168.1.1’, the series that made of “random” numbers and punctuation marks(sometimes even included letters, but we’ll hit that later, here’s a quick look, ‘2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888’) is what we called – IP Address. By the way, the maximum IP address is ‘255.255.255.255’ and the minimum is ‘0.0.0.0’.

You have to give the computer something like that so that they can deliver your package correctly. And the address should be unique in the same network, otherwise delivery guy would get confused, cause there were two different places and both called ‘center park’.

Further, IP address could separate into several range parts, each parts have their own unique features, like 192.168.1.1 used for LAN, 8.8.8.8 used for WAN(not fully correct, but good to understand). But that’s too deep, maybe we’ll talk about it later.

WAN(Wide Area Network) / LAN(Local Area Network) |Public Mail System & Internal Mail System

As their names, the main difference between them is in the area part. If I said the ‘mailman’ could reach every devices in the whole mail system, then you could roughly consider it as in the WAN, but if the ‘mailman’ could only reach the very limited and certain range of devices, then they are maybe in the LAN.

Basically, you can directly touch every single networking device around the world in the WAN system. As for LAN, you can only touch your home’s devices when you connected your house’s Wi-Fi.

Approximately, WAN is kind of equals the public networking, for LAN and subnet, they’re basically the same thing. They do have subtle discrepancies, but you don’t have to recognize them.

Public IP Address | Like Your House Number that Everyone Can Reach It

Like fore mentioned, you have to give the mailman your house number before mailing your package, the public IP address is the specific location address in the WAN.

For instance, 8.8.8.8 is a public IP address, everyone can touch it.

Private IP Address | Like Your House Number but Not Everyone Can Reach It

Only your local mailman can find the location, others cannot, that location in the cyberspace is called private IP address.

E.g, 192.168.1.1, the most common address, you could reach it only if you are in this subnet. Aha, a new terminology, subnet, seems like a little confusing, right? Let’s just say, you could talk directly to your living room’s computer with your phone when they both connected to the Wi-Fi, but some random guys from street couldn’t, right? That’s because they’re not connected to your home Wi-Fi, they’re not in your subnets. For cases of nearly 99 percents, everyone who connected to the subnetwork would be allotted a least one private IP address.

IPv4 & IPv6 | Two Methods of Naming Your House Location

Have you ever thought about why there’s private IP address exists since with the public IP address you could reach every networking devices around the world? The major reason is that the people who construct the antecedent of the Internet hadn’t and couldn’t anticipate the thrivings of nowadays cyberspace, everyone has more than one device that needed to connect to Internet, the amount of networks’ addresses is totally not enough, and the public IP pool have already drained, private IP address or we called subnet is one of solutions for figuring this out. It likes a tree’s branches, since there can only be existed one tree in a certain place, but it does can exist lots of branches and leaves. One major branch can contain many minor branches, and the minor branch can contain plenty of leaves. So, in this case, the tree presents Public IP address, the branches whatever the major or minor present the subnets, and the leaves present users’ devices, and each leaves would get a private IP address. That said one subnet can contain another or several subnets, so that the problem solved.

But that’s not a perfection. It causes other problems, like performance issues, reaching issues and so on. Here’s another solution, IPv6. But hold that thought, we haven’t talked about IPv4, how come we get into the IPv6 part? Yeah, cause IPv4 is prevailing, what we just said are all based on IPv4. Technically, v4 and v6 are same things. Let’s check out their full names, then you’ll see.

IPv4 – Internet Protocol version 4, IPv6 – Internet Protocol version 6.

It’s clear enough, they’re just the different methods of naming your house number. You can easily recognize which method or protocol they used. It only consists of some numbers and dots, it’s IPv4. And it consists of some numbers letters and colons, it’s IPv6. Maybe you’re curious about is there has v1 or v5? The answer is yes, theoretically they’re existence, but we don’t use them in daily life.

The purpose of IPv6 is more radical and advance, the union which developed it claims that each grain of sand around the world can be allotted one public IP address, that’s nuts. But still, it’s not flawless. Cause it literally reforms the whole cyberspace, not only cardinal networking facilities needed to be changed, but also lots of terminal devices, and so on. You couldn’t cut all the old devices off, the whole transition costs a lot. But again, the ultimate achievement of IPv6 is ideal, there’re no more subnet things, you can directly access the servers from the other side of the earth.

In fact, the world is on the way of transformation process for a longtime. But even now, we’re still mainly under the IPv4’s ruling.

Domain | Friendly Name of IP Address

You don’t wanna memorize a series made of some random numbers or even letters and punctuation marks just for accessing some personal blogs or company’s websites, that’s insane and unwise. So here is, the Domain, just type some meaningful words into the browser, boom, you reach your goal. But the computers won’t recognize these words as reachable addresses like Google.com, the computer only can read things like 192.168.0.1 or 2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888.

But why computers can understand what you just typed? Yeah, that’s simply because some ‘kind person’ translated these letters into computer-understandable language for you behind the screen. As for ‘this generous guy’, we’ll mention it later.

The thing you should know is that things like ‘Google.com’ or ‘iCloud.com’ is what we called DOMAIN.

最近小朋友上学带手机被我抓到了,一开始死不承认,直到我问“要不要我拿出证据”,他才承认。

但是说起被我发现的原因其实有点搞笑:

1.我之前在家设置了自动化,用home assistant扫描局域网,发现他用的手机连入Wi-Fi之后就会给我推送通知(一般是提醒我他在我家吃饭用的)。

2.已知他平时八点四十五到家。

3.他放学后要到我家跑步减肥。

4.从他家到我家大约需要一百步的距离,但来回算拿手机也至少要四五分钟时间。

5.我手机推送通知的时间是八点四十。

所以,只可能是他一开始就带到学校,放学经过我家连上Wi-Fi触发我的自动化通知了。回来拿手机看样子是没有作案时间的。

不过,我对他带手机的态度是默许的,自然他其实也没那么怕被我发现就是了。

It’s an another day seeing the sun off.

Save yourself from the bad mood

1 December 2022 at 15:52

Big things happened recently, and even now it’s still going on. I believe that just like me, lot of people struggled of their bad mood, especially we can almost change nothing at the end, it’s extremely frustrating. Feeling raging, panic, anxious or pain, but that’s ok. You don’t have to consistently blame yourself that you stuck in a bad mood. Feelings are what make you a human.

And in these days, I have paid attention to the development of these things, I also passed wakeful nights. I clearly know I can not be like this, I ruined my life day by day, just like I posted on my social media, ‘’I know it’s emotional, but I am still crying’’. Not only me, but also my friends cause the big things are going on.

Then one idea popped into my head, since I can deal with my emotion pretty good(in my personal view, and of course it’s need time), maybe I can write something to save ones from their bad moods, and at meantime practicing my English for preparing my future. And it can be a new categories in my blog, writing article in totally English.

 

Do some aerobic exercise

It’s not only good for your physical health, but also your mental health. In other words, you can’t separate these two things.

In my situations, I feel really chilled out that I run and playing music simultaneously, I like the feeling that the rhythm lingers in my ears.

I use Apple Music, I like its design, such gorgeous and it has a clean interface. I put my phone on the treadmill so that I can focus the album cover, lyrics, rhythm and breath at one time without any distinctions. And that’s why I prefer run in treadmill rather than outdoor.

Once you starting focusing something else, you can easily free from tortures of these bad emotion.

 

Try to do mindfulness training

Mindfulness activities can be really easy to do, taking a deep breath is sort of one kind of mindfulness trainings. I’m a Apple Watch guy, the watchOS contains an application called mindfulness, there are two ways of training inside, one is ‘breathing’, and the other one is ‘meditation’.

I do ‘breathing’ mostly, cause it’s such easy to do. There’s a tip in the description, and here you are.

‘’Breathe in and out, feeling the air of cold and the warm, focusing more on yourself. Touch your chest and feeling the bond of you and your heart deeply. Caressing your abdomen and calm down while breathing. ’’

 

Always see bright side of things

It’s dark time now, but even this, you need to realize that these big things are going like never before in a long time. Whatever the results, people are different from decades ago. I can’t say too much about this, it’s way to sensitive. But the only thing I must to say, ‘’Always see bright side of things’’.

 

Set a deadline for yourself

Everyone has the right of having a bad mood, if anyone said ‘’you’re weak’’, ‘’it’s not big deal, you made a mountain out of a molehill’’ or something else. I’m just gonna tell you they are so cruel that they maybe lost their humanity.

In my view, it’s good having the bad mood, but I suggest setting a ‘mood deadline’ for yourself. That means, once it’s time, you should stop hurting yourself by these emotion, and what the ‘Deadtime’ exactly it is, I trust you can make your own right decision for yourself.

 

 

Stay raging and be proud of yourself

‘’Stay Raging’’, it’s seemly opposite to the topic of this article, but again, feeling raging is why you’re a human, I believe after years, you will be thankful that what you sensed today, you gonna be proud of it just like we do.

 

 

At the end, maybe one of us can do nothing to the society, and even all of us can’t make any different to society in a short time. But be water, my friends. One day we’ll change the world. Before that take care.

办理携号转网+eSIM记录

6 September 2022 at 22:37

本篇文章完成于2022年8月30日之前,具有一定的时效性。请以办理业务当下运营商给出的信息为准。本文以读者对携号转网和eSIM有一定的了解为阅读基础。

简单的来说,携号转网即一项号码不变、仅改变运营商的通讯业务。而eSIM则是让硬件支持eSIM的终端(电话/手机/平板等)不再需要插卡即可上网、通话。

如果需要了解这两项业务的更多细节,可以查阅相关资料,本文内容以记录+注意事项为主。

 

记录篇

之前因为上学和日常的需要,同时在使用两张电话卡,一张充当流量卡、一张作为主号码用于拨打电话,与此同时,家里的宽带还绑定了三张电话卡,两张给家里人用,一张留白。等于说,我名下实际是有五张电话卡的,所以趁着这次机会正好调整一下现有的通讯套餐。

促使这篇文章诞生的契机是突然有一天,那张流量卡(北京的号码)因为“断卡2.0行动”莫名其妙暂停使用了,并且按照电信所说的步骤也无法恢复正常(App Store上对应的官方恢复app下骂声一片),于是无奈前往电信营业厅。

和业务员交谈的过程中得知是可以把联通的号码通过“携号转网”的方式转到电信,并作为副卡绑定至宽带的套餐内的,这时我动了心思。其实我早就听闻“携号转网”,大致就是在不用变更电话号码的情况下更换运营商,除了需要操心一下新运营商套餐和旧运营商违约金的问题,其他例如微信、支付宝等平台绑定的手机号码都不需要操心。“携号转网”算是从2019年末正式实行,到现在已有两三年的时间了,我也好奇这项由工信部推广、不少人叫好的业务具体落地如何。

与此同时,相比于只需办理携号转网的人群,我还需要多担心一个问题——eSIM。因为我购买的Apple Watch是蜂窝版的,有独立使用的需求,所以如果从联通转入到电信,我常用号码不能使用eSIM的一号双终端(具体后面会解释)就十分的尴尬了。

如同预料的一般,小城市(坐标浙江台州)里的电信业务员果然是不知道eSIM的,表示是第一次听说。我下载了电信的官方app,将位置定位到我所在的城市,确认了本城市是支持开通eSIM服务之后,我向她解释起了什么是eSIM。听完她才想起来她好像有一位同事用的也是Apple Watch蜂窝版,我们来回沟通了三四个电话,确认了各项事宜后,中间因为历史遗留问题,我在电信系统里的信息错误,才导致我来回跑了好几趟电信和联通的营业厅才成功办理。

当然,正常情况下如果你需要办理携号转网(联通到电信)的话,根本不用这么麻烦。运气最好只需要去一次转入的那一家运营商的服务网点就可以直接帮你办理了。如果因为一些优惠没有到期,需要提前取消的原因,那你需要先去转出的那一家办理取消,再去转入的那一家就可以办理了。如果两家运营商距离不远,我还是建议你先去转入的那一家确认后,再办理后续业务。

就实际体验而言,虽然接待我的(电信)业务员在eSIM的业务上不是很清楚(情有可原),但接待的态度很好,沟通起来也很顺利。就连我最担心的联通转出业务办理,也很顺利,不到两分钟的时间就帮我办好了,还不用排队。

因为携号转网和eSIM都算不上什么常规业务,其实作为“过来人”发现还是有一些信息差值得分享的。

 

 

注意事项

0
首先,携号转网虽然已经在全国推行两三年,但因为三大运营商争夺用户,不同运营商放行松紧程度也不一致,可能会存在部分地区部分运营商会“卡”用户,不被放行的用户可以尝试工信部投诉,往往有奇效。

其次,eSIM并非全国各地都支持,在办理前需要查询你号码所在的归属地是否支持办理eSIM。就eSIM服务而言,三大运营商中,联通用户体验/服务最好、电信其次、移动最差。截止至今,移动(似乎)仍不支持独立eSIM(eSIM分两种 后面解释)。

最后,由于各地资费标准不同,后文未提及全国的都以本人所在的城市(浙江台州)为标准,各地详细的标准请以当地运营商信息为准。

 

1
从联通或移动需要支付违约金才可办理携号转网至电信的用户,电信可为用户报销最高300元的违约金,需要用户提供违约金的发票或者收据。

 

2
办理任何携号转网的号码,未来120日以内无法办理携号转网。也就是说120日内不存在“后悔药”。

3
携号转网大约会在最近整点过几分生效。例如,用户在11点半左右完成办理携号转网,那么在当日的12点过几分,号码的运营商就会发生变更。

4
转出前的运营商(联通)内还存有话费的,可在下一个月份的5号左右(其实也不一定 但是一定能退)去往营业厅携带身份证领取余额。

5
携号转网的号码可以直接加入现有套餐内作为副卡,超出套餐内的副卡数量上限会按照套餐标准进行收费。

6
套餐内的主号码和副卡不能对调顺序。一般办理的套餐往往会绑定宽带,你也不能通过先拆后装的取巧方式完成主副卡的对调(查得严)。

 

7
eSIM可以分为两种,一种叫一号一终端/独立eSIM,一种叫一号多终端。虽然后者叫多终端,但大概率是仅支持两台终端的,首先条件,本人并未测试过三台及三台以上的终端同时使用。

两者的区别,正如其名,前者「一号一终端/独立eSIM」跟平时大家用的手机号除了不需要插卡以外,其他并没有什么区别。而后者「一号多终端」能同时独立使用相同的号码,并且共享该号码下的套餐。「一号多终端」的实现方式是,一台终端插电话卡,一台终端使用eSIM。

 

8
现在绝大部分家庭宽带都与手机号码的套餐绑定,往往一个套餐内会有多个号码,一个为主卡,其他为副卡。下表以此为例,看看目前三大运营商,对套餐内主副卡的eSIM服务支持情况。

截屏2022 09 06 22 36 22
联通套餐内的副卡是否能开通一号双终端,受限于本人条件,暂时未知,具体前往营业厅或者拨打联通电话进行查询。根据目前已知信息,本人瞎猜联通对于eSIM的态度,可能大概率也是支持的。

所以只要用的不是移动,你都是可以使用Apple Watch蜂窝版中「为家庭成员设置」对进行Apple Watch进行家人共享绑定的。

 

9
三大运营商的一号双终端eSIM全国资费都为10元/月。但「独立eSIM」的资费各有不同,具体请参见各运营商给的详细信息。

其中,以中国电信(浙江台州)为例,「一号双终端eSIM」在Apple Watch上需要且仅能通过iPhone上的watch.app进行开启,开启后不仅会开通「一号双终端eSIM」而且会同时开通「一号一终端」,你能查到你名下多了一个号码,并且据说,多出来的这个号码是不占用同一个运营商下一人只能开五张卡的限制的。但这个多出来的号码是否能正常使用对此我存疑,理论上来说,想要使用这个号码的话,是需要去营业厅要这个电话卡的实体eSIM卡的。

资费方面,因为同时开启了两项eSIM服务,所以收费是10+19元/月,但又因为同时开启这两项服务之后,电信会自动给你一项超长期优惠,十几二十年的那种,免去10元/月的「一号双终端eSIM」资费,最后折算相当于在优惠期间内收19元/月的费用。

相比于电信,联通就是十分简单了,直接收10元/月,不会多出来一个号码,不会有什么别的额外收费,简简单单。也是基于这一点,我才有了eSIM服务方面联通>电信>移动这个排名。

 

 

10
疫情当下,行程码成了出行的必备,理论上你到访过哪,在运营商那边会有一份记录,所以仅在理论上携号转网是“存在”可能让你的行程码重置的。但很明显,这份记录并不只这一份,携号转网后查看行程码,你可以看到“xx市,携号转网前到访过:xx市、xx市”这样的提示。

也不知道到底是什么原因,刚转入时,能感知得网速慢,听歌都卡的那种(虽然Apple Music的无损音质码流也是高的)。但仅过一段时间后就可以恢复正常,并且仅过长时间使用也没有再出现过信号没有问题但网速不佳的情况。

 

最后,宽带到期后续费可以直接上门找营业厅,不要和上门所谓的业务员签协议,特别是年轻人不在家的时候……

我一直有个“悲观”的想法,迟早有一天我学生时代认识的某一个人会因意外或疾病离开这个世界。这是必然事件,只是我不知道这一天什么时候会来罢了。现在看来,我离青春年代又更远了一点,离死亡更近了一些,看来我们大家真的每一天都在向死而生。

十年前,遇上这么好的天气,应该是在操场上跟同学一起捉蝴蝶吧。

这个季节,操场上会有很多修剪下来还带很多绿叶的大树枝,挥一下轻松掀起一阵大风,刮起来的风足以扇晕一只小蝴蝶,一节课40分钟的时间两个人合力抓几十只蝴蝶放到盒子里是不成问题的。

下课铃响,有时捉弄女生,打开盒子,吓得黄的、白的、黑的满天飞……现在想想,很残忍又很好玩就是了。

上学的时候,经常喝点酒就去上课了,不想听老师讲的鬼话,就醉醺醺的趴电脑桌前。连老师的脸都不想看了,就直接翘课跑到咖啡馆咖啡配美酒。飞机上的时间太无趣,下点红酒晕晕的去机场。四下无人的夜路风吹着很舒服,跑到小酒馆搞两杯……

可在家咸鱼了这么久,一次都没有随着性子一个人喝酒,只因为我要立住自己在家里人面前滴酒不沾的人设,难免不自由。

我知道,现在有了这个念头之后,不久我就会离开这个地方追求我想要的自由和生活,这是个离开的信号…..

前两天救小猫咪的时候,周围那些半生不熟的邻居都聚到我身边了。当下我其实都不指望大家对我的行为有什么积极的看法,我也清楚这种行为不是高尚只是很理想主义且大概率不会被理解。可是他们嘴里不断重复重复重复的“指责”式“为你好”、“救这种东西干嘛”还是让我心火来了,实在忍不住吼了几句大家都散了,到最后只有一位现实生活中世俗意义过的不太好的邻居给我送了块不用的毛巾。

有时候我都在想如果大家只负责岁月静好和冷眼旁观,或许事情还能简单点…

Step

  • Prepare the ingredients
    • Prepare all the ingredients at one time. 
    • The temperature of the butter should be about 20 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the room should be about 25 degrees Celsius, so that you can beat butter. If you don’t want to wait too long, you do can heat and melt butter by using the micro-wave oven, but remember don’t make it too hot, because the egg liquid will be denatured when you mixing the hot butter liquid and the egg liquid. In my recommendation, the butter liquid is best to be a little warm, and the egg was just taking out from the refrigerator or it’s the winter now.
  • Beating the mixture of egg and butter
    • Mixing the egg liquid and butter liquid, then beating the mixture until it becomes fluffy, don’t forget add the granulated sugar in it three times when you beating the mixture. Because the egg liquid can cool the butter liquid down, you can easily beating the mixture if you following my recommendation. 
  • Mixing
    • Sieving the low-gluten flour and almond powder in the mixture. 
    • Add in the rest of ingredients that you prepared before. 
    • Mixing up by using scraper.
    • Making the mixture becomes a cuboid (the size depend on what you like, about 2.5x4cm in my recommendation) with your hands above the cake paper. 
    • Sealing the mixture cuboid with cake paper, then refrigerate it till it becomes sturdy.
  • Baking
    • Cut the cuboid into a slice (about 0.8cm). Preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius when you’re cutting.
    • Baking for 15 to 20 minutes.

观心流 观世界

9 May 2022 at 23:46

每个人对世界都有不同的看法,这些看法存在于每个人的心中。万物都在以某种形式流动,不存在绝对静止。心中的看法“流动”汇聚成“心流”,一个人若看到ta的心流有所“转向”,那么ta的世界就在改变。正如“薛定谔的猫”一样,猫的“状态”取决于“观测”,人的“心流”亦可使“世界的状态”“坍塌”。

观心流、观世界,就是在改变世界。对,就是这么唯心主义。

家长与孩子的攻防战无论哪个时代都没有停歇过,小孩在这个过程中变得更加聪明、狡猾,家长变得更加宽容、漠视。

讲一个小学同学的故事,他家里有一台笔记本电脑,但他妈妈不准他玩,但平时还要上班,所以就给电脑上了密码,只有在周末特定的时间才会解锁允许他玩一下。但我这个同学并不满足于此。他想到的办法让我觉得他很聪明,他拿水笔在键盘保护膜贴键盘的那一侧给所有的键都点上了一个点,再轻轻的盖上,然后让他妈妈过去输密码,输完密码就看键盘上都有哪些键沾上了墨印,再根据最有可能的密码排列组合,就知道了密码。那时,我们在他家玩,他的爸妈都不在,他一边把这件事讲给我们听一边给我们解锁电脑,我就把这件事记到了现在。

还是电脑密码,我有另外一个初中同学跟我关系挺好,他跟我说他家的电脑也被他爸上了密码。我就跟他讲,有种东西叫做pe系统,这东西是“修电脑”的工具之一,最大的功能就是可以很方便的重做系统,可除此之外,它还有个功能就是删除原先的电脑密码。他听闻,十分感兴趣。周末我就去了他家,一起把电脑密码给删了。可惜好景不长,不出一个星期,他爸就发现了,还通告了班主任……

 

 

24

我总觉得那些没受过互联网1.0时代“培训”的人现在就在滥用技术。就拿学校和家长沟通这件事,越来越多的班级有所谓的班级家长群,可这些群就是一个个吹水群,没什么实际作用,根本不能起到家长和教师之间沟通的作用。真要沟通,大可以选择让家长来学校一趟或者一个电话的事情,正经人谁拿“群”沟通?

我上的小学是寄宿制的学校,分大小星期,而“小星期”的时候是不允许住校生回家的,一般住校生得半个月才能回家一次。虽然平时家长就是允许进入学校的,但“大星期”接小孩回家的那天其实有点像国外的“开放日”,家长可以和各科目老师、班主任沟通,参观学校,观察学校教学等。

虽然互联网1.0时代的时候,我年纪尚小,但我也算是经历过它的培训的。我们那时候有一个班级新浪博客,许多的学校活动、班级近况甚至一周作业,都会公布在上面。因为是博客性质的,所以家长可以留言评论。

我丝毫不觉得,家长群会比以上沟通模式更好,除了更好的拍马屁,它还有什么长处吗?

一个mental health 的小tip。在运动之后,我会让流水从我头顶落下,水流完全盖住双耳,这个时候我的世界只剩下水流的声音,和此刻的温暖一起,是有些颅内高潮的味道。

年轻的时候,懒、爱吃垃圾食品,乱用药,喜欢浪费、沉迷消费。现在思考人与自然、运动、健康、环保、亲密关系。果然,年纪大了,就要对自己好一点……

我的创作欲和灵光一闪其实和我的不开心是有点成正比的。外在的不开心迫使我把注意力都放在内在的心流上。随着被流放的时间马上要走到尽头,不开心的日子也要结束了。未来说不定也不再会有这么高频的mind spark。
