The Judge From Hell

I dont usually watch any Korean drama or movies. I came across this show from a Facebook post and the topic was interesting so I decided to give it shot. Oh My God! No wonder everyone prefer watching Korean dramas nowadays, its really so good!

Using Copilot to learn coding

Recently, I was granted access to Copilot on my company laptop. I was told that it can help us code in many languages, I thought it could only help me correct some minor typo or syntax errors, I was completely wrong.

It not only understands what I want to do by just a few simple sentences, it can even give a long code that it just run without error.

The time consuming part when I need to prototype a new idea is that I need to do a lot of researches on how to use some functions or libraries to do what I want to do. Now, with the help of Copilot, it literally takes all these troubles away. I only need to tell what I want to do to Copilot and it will give me some working examples. It can even give me a few different approaches to solve the problem for me to choose which one best suits my needs. No wonder AI is such a hot topic recently..

M1 Mac and UTM

I have been playing around with my home server setup after my Pi 5 was down during my holiday.

Since then, this blog has been hosted on my NUC till now. It was good, but I still prefer my server can be run on ARM CPU instead of x86.

I’m using the M1 Mac Mini since it was released, the performance is just so good that I cant tell its an ARM CPU. One annoying thing on ARM Mac is that, there is no good free virtualization software. Parallels is great, but its just too expensive for my use case. UTM is free, but somehow it not as stable. I faced quite a few times after Mac OS update my Arch VM just unable to boot.

I will give it a go one more time and see if it is stable enough to replace my Pi as the docker server. With docker, moving my blog around servers is just so easy, so why not give it a try? 🙂

Server down

Not sure why after I updated my Pi5 server, I no longer able to boot it back up. And I’m oversea for the last week, so my blog was down for the whole week.. Next time I should not restart it when I’m not at home..

Back to Firefox

I have been using Google Chrome since its just released to the wild. I wanted a Webkit based browser that can run across platforms, I jumped ship from Firefox to Chrome since the very first publicly available version.

Many years later now, it is now the number 1 browser and it also became the evil itself. It will soon disable the current Adblock plugins with the introduction of Manifest v3. Ads is the source of incomes for Google, I get it, everyone needs $$ to survive.. But I value if we have a choice too. Mozilla seems to gonna support Manifest v2 (or whatever crap you wanna call it) for the foreseeable future, I hope they are not gonna disappoint their users.
