Learning Git

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 18:43:21 +0800

While deploying the blog recently, I reviewed the Git commands I use. Here are my notes.

HydraBlog Becomes WeCode

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 20:21:56 +0800

Along with the domain change, the blog has a new name.

Changing the domain directly in Typecho previously left the site displaying garbled text. I therefore backed up all of the website files and the database and rebuilt the site. All data was migrated successfully without loss.

The main reason for the new name is to give the blog a more distinctive identity. There do not seem to be many sites quite like this, and I hope we can learn to code and share what we discover together.

There were no major problems during the migration, and most of the smaller issues have been resolved.

Setting Up DDNS with DNSPod

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 21:14:36 +0800

Last updated: 2018/08/14 17:04 — added GoDNS.

Domain name

The most important part of DDNS is a domain name. It can be paid or free.

This example uses a free domain:

http://www.dot.tk/zh/index.html — Free domains for all.

Using hydrablog as an example, there are five free domain extensions available. I chose .cf. We will use DNSPod later.

You will be redirected to Freenom. Select a twelve-month registration period and enter an IP address in the DNS settings as a placeholder.

Moving the Blog to HostShare Hosting

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 17:10:56 +0800

Why I moved

The blog was previously hosted with CoffeeHost. Quite a few friends reported that it was inaccessible or extremely slow, so I decided to move it. After a difficult choice, I settled on HostShare’s Hong Kong 103 SSD VPS.

I had spent more than twenty days on CoffeeHost’s Hong Kong CN2 VPS, and the experience was disappointing. Apart from support tickets, I found the owner’s attitude unfriendly. I requested TUN/TAP access so I could configure BBR; the purchase page explicitly said it could be enabled. In the end, the response was along the lines of: “What do you need that for? Getting around restrictions? BBR? CN2 is fast enough. Don’t enable it…”

Successfully Migrated from WordPress to Typecho

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:20:56 +0800

Whenever I make a substantial change to the blog, I tend to rebuild it from scratch. What you are looking at now is its ninth rebuild.

I first got into this two years ago. After seeing plenty of recommendations for GoDaddy hosting, I bought a year and followed a tutorial to set up WordPress. That became my first website. Building a site seemed straightforward, but GoDaddy’s Singapore server routed traffic through the United States and was painfully slow. The routing has since become direct. SMTP mail also had problems, so I stopped working on it.

In the second year, I bought a BandwagonHost VPS. I learned to install a control panel and gained more control over my site. Overall, BWH was damn good: despite heavy overselling, it remained very responsive. I mainly bought it for getting around internet restrictions, though, and stopped using it after the IP address was blocked.

Hello World

Sun, 02 Apr 2017 12:12:04 +0800

This is Blake’s new website: RubyCore.

The blog has also been renamed from WeCode to RubyCore.

So far, it has moved from WordPress to Typecho and then to Hexo.

A fresh start!

My Experience with GoDaddy Shared Hosting

Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:27:13 +0800

I bought a GoDaddy hosting plan today. After comparing a few providers, I picked the cheapest one—ha!

I also did something incredibly stupid at the time: I deleted a hosting instance before requesting a refund, which effectively meant paying for two.

Many website owners will already be familiar with GoDaddy. As the world’s largest domain registrar, it is often chosen for its speed, service, stability and, above all, low prices. But what is its shared hosting actually like? Here is a look at the reasons so many people choose it.

Mumble (new) Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-15

Contact support

blakebill publishes this independently maintained iOS client for Mumble servers. This policy explains how the app handles information. The client is based on the open-source Mumble iOS project and is not an official release from the Mumble project.

Voice, messages and server connections

When you speak, the app captures microphone audio, processes it on your device, and sends encoded voice to the Mumble server you connect to. Text messages and photos you choose to send also pass through that server to the selected channel or recipients. The app does not provide an automatic voice-recording service.

The server receives information needed to establish and maintain the connection, such as your network address, username, client/protocol version, and certificate identity when one is used. Passwords and access tokens you supply are sent to that server for authentication or access control. Certificate private keys are used locally for authentication and are not sent to the server as private keys.
