Happy new year!

Didn’t do much throughout the year of 2021, been especially chill between Christmas and now.

The good part

• Met a few friends in game
• Reverse Engineering wise…
  • Learnt some basics about Android RE, though still not fully understand how to write one in my own;
  • Skill level did not increase much, might be due to lack of time to practice;
  • JS Obfuscation/Deobfuscation - It seems that deobfuscation now requires AST + rule matching now.
• Remaking the wheel, mainly as a lightweight alternative of an existing product, but with only the features I need.
• Wrote quite a lot of code in my own time, but to me, this feels empty.
  • Maybe that’s “open source”.
• Switched blog system again, now using static site generator (SSG).
  • But without commenting (Are there anyone commenting here?)
• Developing wise…
  • Ansible is so useful, though slow, still faster than me doing it manually.
  • VSCode still feels lag/restricted when compared to JetBrains’ IDE. I blame Electron.
  • Did some DIY soldering with the Key Dispenser project, though the soldering is horrible…
  • Moved a lot [Docker][docker containers] to GitHub’s ghcr.io Container Registry.

The bad part

• A lot of unfinished projects
  • New project as my focus & interest changes.
• Didn’t balance time well
  • Work/Play with Friends/My own time
• Still don’t like driving that much, though more comfortable
• Didn’t get in to relationship 😢, but I’ve meet some really cute friends 😄
• k8s - from the fundamental to abandon.
• Studying languages with a mobile APP, though not doing much…
• Too lazy to bother with making things, better to sleep the whole day…

Plans

• Get involved with local volunteer works
  • To meet some locals
• Reduce unnecessary spend
  • Impulse purchases are insane…
• Learn something new
  • Still would like to learn more about k8s, but it seems too expensive / tedious to use k8s for personal projects…
    • Though I did managed to find a PPT about self learning containers and k8s with over 2,000 slides, by Container Training.

Leisure

Watched some movies / drama and played games with friends. For titles, checkout the Chinese version of this page.

The last

Hoping that I can live happily this year, just like before 😉
