Living in China is like:

qoto: Error
YouTube: No Internet
Google: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Me: Oh my god, the internet is down!!!

*After several minutes of investigating*

Me: Holy sh*t my proxy server is DOWN

What a normal day in China ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But hey, during this time, I rewrote my final project when I was in college. It's not the best archive tool in the world, but at least I know how to fix it when it's broken, LOL

(Unless I made a huge mistake when processing the data. If that happens, all my data will be gone)

Ok, the Chinese society makes me sick. Especially when "enjoy Japanese culture" is guilty and will be publicly humiliated.

I fixed my ten years old bicycle today, but I have no idea how to fix society and the people. The unsourced hate filled everyone (maybe the majority)'s brain. They hate rich people, they hate Japanese people, they hate Americans, they hate Trump and Biden, and they hate everyone who lives better than him, possibly the one they never met. And they indulgent violence against women (and LGTB+ people), against Ukrain civil, and against people who disagree with them. I post this in English. And hopefully, they don't have enough patience to read this. But society is going this way. And one day, the violence might be on me. Nobody can escape.

A lot of people suggest to me that I should move to another country. I can't. I just can't let it go. I still have friends and families. They won't move in the visible future or are too old to fit into a new society. They are my closest people. And I can't geographically estrange from them. I need them, and they need me, too.

I'm experiencing the change, but I can't accurately pinpoint why we're here. From the education I got, this feels not right. And what scared me more? The education is changed. When I was young, I was not told to hate people I had never met. I was told to be a human who could improve society. And the country is not the boundary. People from different countries can work together towards the same goal. Now the children start hating people they have never met, while they still like Japanese anime, American movies, etc. I don't know how they can be so contradictory, but this scared me. When they grow up, I can't imagine how society will be shaped by them.

And... Talking about "being a human who could improve society", I failed to do that. But I still try my best to be a good person, a healthy friend. I would share happiness and sadness with my family and friends. I would try my best to help them when I need, without accounting for how much I would spend and get. (So, as a computer science student, the most frequent thing I do is fixing others computers, routers, networks, LOL)

I wrote a lot in this post. I don't know what I want to express; I just wrote what I think while typing. It will possibly change nothing, or maybe the police would ask(force) me to delete this post or arrest me because of this post. I don't know. I'm just speaking, and it's my right (for now).

Anyway, I'm finished. And now it's midnight in UTC+8. Goodnight to all reached here. And thank you for your reading and your time. Have a nice day :)

Hmmmm, it will fail immediately if the I send qoto.org on twitter.

Several minutes ago I was introducing qoto to my friends on twitter, and it keeps failing.

Just knowing "Abortion" is banned in Minecraft chat. And Microsoft think "teabag" is offensive and you can't type it in the bedrock edition.

It's a shame that Microsoft and Mojang doesn't have a mastodon account, so I can @ them and f*ck them in their face. (But I do did that on twitter LOL)

If the reporting system is included in the next java edition release, then I'll quit Minecraft. This game is dying. A block game does not need any censorship.

Subway in the morning is too hard. I give up :D

Weathering with you.

I was a fan of Makoto Shinkai, until that's too hurt to enjoy the emotion in the anime/movie/film: China is such a hard place to be myself. There are a lot of unspeakable rules to bend you, it might be very bad to not follow them.

I didn't give up (kind of, I mean, as a kid, without a gun, can't manipulate the weather, unlike the character in the movie, I was just a plain ordinary kid, what do you expect from me?), and will not give up in the future, it will be hard, but worth it. People only live once, and I shall not die with regret.

I might watch too many anime, but Kurzgesagt in Japanese really feels like I'm watching a short anime :D

Have a try:

Picked up my "relative in law" from the hospital, and managed to finish all other things.

Now I can switch to my normal life : )

Goodnight, internet.

Changed my profile image.

A cat face scanned from a book I read:

I Am a Cat, by Natsume Kinnosuke.

The smell of mud. Makes me so relaxed. It reminds me the home, when I was young and scared by the thunder, the good old afternoon I have with my parents. Now I'm not fear thunder anymore (but still get scared if my laptop and Nas don't have a proper ground connection), but I do miss that time, when I don't have things I must/have to do, and just stay with my parents, relax and happy.

And... At least it's raining now.

The rain I have been waiting for whole day.

I like raining.

(The forecast said it will be raining at 5pm, now it's 2am. Good job weather forecast 🙃)

Also, I'm trying to figure out a way to use AWS S3 Deep archive to backup my data.

Restic can automatically dedup by chopping files into chunks and it support S3. However, it doesn't support deep archive tier.

I have implemented the chunking parts, but not sure how I'm going to recover the archived files. Like what operations need user to do, what parameter is needed. I'm targeting AWS S3 specifically, so no need to worry about other backends.

I'm so tired to speak my thoughts in English or in Chinese. So I just fuck them.

Dragging by the reality and not being able to post a single message here. I'm really tired, both my mind and my body.
