switched to a smaller llm.

I just said hello. And it starts searching for the meaning of life.

I hate Google.

the llm request a search so my code did so. But Google changed the class names and my code stopped working. Wasted 6 hours of gpu processing.

Just quickly post some photos. The trip is on half.

Finally.

Just didn't get this new amateur radio law.

There are three levels of licensing: A for VHF and UHF, B for A + HF, C for additional power. Normally you get A for VHF and UHF, then you get B for all bands, then get C for 1KW shortwave.

The new law reduced the shortwave power limit (B) from 100W to 15W, but for people like me who got their license before this new law, we can still use 100W. I just can't figure out why. Everything else is the same (C can still use 1KW).

Also, the licenses are for humans. You need a separate license for your devices. The device licenses are now needed to be approved by national agency if you want more than 15W, which takes 3 to 5 months instead of good old 1 month.

Sounds like me: It's working! Wait, no. Ok, now it should be working. Yeah, it works. No, not yet…

Figured out a decent way to prepare for a late or early schedule. Just gradually shift your sleeping schedule and give your body time to adopt.

I found it to be pretty reliable when I needed to wake up early in 6am for my last job, and for a pretty important meeting at midnight. I shifted my bedtime from 11pm to 2am in two weeks, and it's pretty well. Keep the total sleep hours unchanged and sleep later and later.

Just one last thing: don't hammer your body with extra caffeine. I'm successfully being not sleepy at midnight, but now I'm struggling to sleep

Glad I'm not crazy when being unemployed.😂

walked 16km today. Legs feel broken, but pretty interesting.

trying to pack Lego without breaking it.

For concerning cat lovers, don't worry. I can tell the difference between wild cat and homeless ex-pet cat. I have some not solid but stable relationship between those cats.

They stay in our yard, we prepare food and water for them, they still being alert, but willing to give humans a chance to live with them. I also tried to isolate our yard to stop wild cats coming and fighting with those cats, I'd say it's a 90% success.

But sadly, my tent is set up on the second floor (aka a flat roof), there is no way to isolate it. So for the safety of my properties, the wild cat issue must be fixed before I have to move out for a while.

Dismantled my old tent. Found out wild cats did more damage than I thought.

Spent several days to get out all my stuff, clean and wipe it, unpackaging, check if the content matches the database, update if not, then repackaging, wrap with plastic packaging film, label them, and finally stack them together. I think that's the best effort I can make to stop wild cats damaging my stuff.

I also noticed that there is one or two cats, run away very quickly when I come upstairs to check, and come back after I leave. The new tent is start becoming smelly.

I also ordered a cage, but the government here seems doesn't offer neuter service. Private clinic is too expensive for wild cats. Not to mention if the cats do fall into my trap willingly. Still don't know what to do after I captured one, but I hope it will learn through this non-damage but unpleasent way to not invade my tent.

Now we're talking

Now onedrive is giving up after nuke my entire folder.

Yeah, I forgot the password. Again.

I have successfully canceled my memento database subscription.

I subscribe to that service for my personal item tracking (or personal inventory management), at that time I need an Android app to scan barcode, and it works well.

As a cutting spend operation, now I save 60USD per year (or 80USD with the new plan with AI™) with my own software.

Introducing jim-cli: It's a command line tool for managing your inventory. Basic CRUD, tag system, keyword search with highlighting. Not very complicated, but good to me.

And to work on Android, I designed an encrypted API for LAN HTTP based on the pre-sharded key. I can run it when I need it, and save the server fee in the rest of the year. (I only need it around Feb and Oct)

You can have a look on github.

Every time I update my Android project, I have to pick up what I forgot. Google is every helpful.

Until I finished all my tasks. About to build the release APK. Then I realized that I forgot the password of my signing keystore.

Everytime. Literally everytime. I spend a lot of time trying to remember the password. Then forget it again.
