A simple weekly journal, still as disconnected from real life as ever.

Due to the original length of the article, I have moved my reflections to => 《Deepening Understanding of Learned Content Through Writing》

What did I watch? or What did I use?#

Works & Products#

The progress of the software should be considered my familiarity with this software.

News#

• ‘I've got nothing to hide’ and other misunderstandings of privacy (2007) | Hacker News: Although many people say "We have nothing to hide," that doesn't mean we don't care about privacy.
• The first messenger without user IDs | Hacker News: Another encrypted communication software, this one not only encrypts the transmitted content but also keeps users' IP addresses confidential. Technically, such identity-hiding encrypted communication software is feasible. However, the issue lies in legal concerns. Many countries may prohibit such unmonitored communication systems.
• WJ.16: Personal Information Flow Sharing - Airing: So cultured; compared to him, my articles are really crude. I also understand that this feeling is called self-deprecation.
• Is this a good book for me, now? | Hacker News: Thoughts on reading; compared to audiobooks, I usually prefer reading, but if I don't want to finish a book, I'll play the rest as an audiobook while working. 😄 Yes, the value of each book varies for different people at different times. This is a main point of the article.
• Best Practices for Designing a Pragmatic RESTful API | Vinay Sahni: An article on best practices for RESTful APIs from ten years ago, still very relevant for API design today.
• Miscellaneous Notes from Miami 2023: Other people's travels, a beautiful life; I haven't been abroad yet~~
• $ HOME, not so sweet $HOME | Hacker News: This is where I first learned about the XDG-related specifications, which mainly define the file directory paths for CLI software. Anyone with CLI experience can take a look. There was a heated discussion on Hacker News. Then I looked at my HOME directory, which can be understood as the software that pulls data from the HOME directory.

Random Thoughts#

1. I don't really like using Telegram as my information hub. Although I do it to some extent, I feel that it might make the channel seem more like a bot than a real person. I personally prefer to speak loudly in Telegram rather than on Twitter; talking on Twitter feels like shouting in a park. (As for Moments, that’s too closed off, and it’s all relatives, friends, and colleagues.)
2. Is the ownership of user data with the user or us? For example, when we obtain a user's GitHub information, should we promise to delete all user data after they cancel their account? I’m constantly struggling with similar issues; I don’t want to think alone; I want someone to discuss it with me. (Call my boss)
3. I’ve realized another characteristic of myself. That is: when arguing about something that cannot be logically proven and does not affect my interests, I tend to give up the discussion.
4. This week I published an article related to ssh-agent, and based on the guidance in the comments, 1Password is really great.
5. I’ve been using RSS for five years -> I’ve followed DIYGod for four years -> I really started using RSSHub in 2021 -> I really started using xLog in 2023.
6. This week mainly involved organizing and reflecting on my input-output workflow. The input from short articles is sufficient, but the input from books is still too little.

Slightly planned articles to write in the next two months#

Slightly planned articles to write in the next two months, but there may be changes; however, it’s likely to be like this (The corresponding files have been created; most are just filler content.)

Things to pay attention to when writing software:#

• A11Y: Accessibility refers to designing and creating websites and applications that can be used by everyone, including those with disabilities. For example, allowing blind people to use software through voice commands.
• l10n: Localization, similar to i18n (internationalization).
• GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation, a piece of legislation that came into effect in the European Union on May 25, 2018. The main goal of GDPR is to protect individuals' data security online and give individuals more control over their personal data.

There are too many things to consider~~

🗄 Ensure data is backed up; users cannot tolerate data loss.
🗑 Allow users to delete their data at any time, including data in backups.
📲 Allow users to download their own data and metadata to comply with GDPR requirements.
📚 Design your storage system to comply with laws such as HIPAA, FISA, and EU data localization policies.
🚂 Migrate existing user data as the storage system changes.
📊 Monitor the backend, handle downtime events, quota usage, and security vulnerabilities.
👮 Control and audit customer-allowed agents' access to user data.

Records#

Mentally noting that these need to be auto-generated later.

Keep - Things that can continue to be maintained#

Toggl Track#

Writing articles still took a lot of time, and many things were not recorded properly; it can be understood as being unaccustomed at first.

I feel I need to control the length and writing time of my articles; they are currently too long and of poor quality~~
