I therefore backed up all of the website files and the database and rebuilt the site. All data was migrated successfully without loss.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>There were no major problems during the migration, and most of the smaller issues have been resolved.</p>https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/3ffa55c6.htmlSat, 21 Jul 2018 13:07:27 +0800https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/3ffa55c6.html<p>Updated the playback controls and added a seek bar.</p> <p>Changed the background color of syntax-highlighted code to improve readability.</p> <p>Added article word counts so readers can estimate how long a post will take to read.</p> <p>On mobile, tapping the avatar now collapses the sidebar automatically.</p> <p>Fixed a minor styling issue with the left sidebar in Safari.</p> <p>Added a gallery.</p>https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/8ac70619.htmlTue, 19 Jun 2018 17:10:56 +0800https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/8ac70619.html<h2 id="why-i-moved">Why I moved</h2> <p>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&rsquo;s Hong Kong 103 SSD VPS.</p> <p>I had spent more than twenty days on CoffeeHost&rsquo;s Hong Kong CN2 VPS, and the experience was disappointing. Apart from support tickets, I found the owner&rsquo;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&rsquo;t enable it…”</p>https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/845cb4e1.htmlMon, 11 Jun 2018 22:20:56 +0800https://rubycore.pages.dev/en/article/845cb4e1.html<p>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.</p> <p>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&rsquo;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.</p> <p>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.</p>
