During the Spring Festival, DeepSeek was almost entirely unavailable due to well-known reasons. Especially the API, which often went down for entire days. Even though the webpage was restored this morning, when I opened Cline in VS Code, it just kept spinning without any response. This forced me to purchase a third-party API to use. Additionally, I took the opportunity to test the local deployment of DeepSeek Ollama.
On the first day of the Spring Festival, a notification suddenly popped up on my phone from the “Yue Zheng Yi” app, which felt quite strange. The last time I received a notification during the Spring Festival was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instructing us to cancel our holidays and return to work immediately. I thought it might be another emergency, but upon opening the notification, I found it was an obituary. It stated that Comrade Deng had passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack on New Year’s Eve after returning to his room to sleep after dinner. Upon receiving this news, I was momentarily stunned.
These are some recent small happenings, mainly for personal records.
This morning, I wanted to add an RSS widget to the sidebar of my Hugo homepage to display cross-site updates. It seemed simple enough, and I had even documented the main process on my 2025 page. However, as soon as I pushed the changes to GitHub, things went wrong. Both GitHub and Vercel failed to deploy the site. Here, I’ll document the subsequent steps in detail.
Two years ago, while my aunt was working in the provincial capital, she was hit and injured by an auxiliary police officer patrolling on an electric bike. After several months of treatment, she was left with a disability. What initially seemed like a minor dispute turned into a prolonged tug-of-war, and the case was only recently resolved. I believe it’s necessary to share how to handle such issues.
Since ChatGPT 3.0, AI translation has swept the translation market with unprecedented accuracy. Since this blog once used English for writing, many articles have a mix of Chinese and English. Taking advantage of the upcoming price increase for Deepseek, I spent a few minutes translating all the articles on this blog into English. Additionally, by leveraging Github Actions, I achieved fully automated translation.
In March 2019, after the 8th National Congress of the China Law Society, the society was supposed to undergo a leadership transition by March 2024, in accordance with the five-year term limit stipulated in the China Law Society Charter. However, due to certain reasons, the transition did not occur until January 11 of this year. The specific reasons remain unclear, but the revisions to the China Law Society Charter during this transition reveal significant changes in the society’s functions and tasks.
Recently, the incident of actor Wang Xing being kidnapped in Thailand and taken to a crime park in Myawaddy, Myanmar, has been widely discussed online. Although it appears to be an isolated case, Wang Xing is just one representative of countless victims. The vast number of victims behind this incident, as well as the numerous telecom fraud victims it has spawned domestically, highlight the current shortcomings in China’s efforts to protect its overseas interests and combat foreign-related crimes. Following the incident, netizens have been outraged, demanding that the government take strong action against such overseas crime syndicates. Here, I will briefly analyze how to effectively combat these criminal activities.
In 2012, I spent one-tenth of my monthly income on a Philips desk lamp, which served me well until around 2020 when my wife replaced it with a so-called “smart” children’s lamp that cost 500 yuan. This “smart” lamp frequently suffered from touch malfunctions—no matter how I tried to touch the switch, it only responded once or twice out of ten attempts. Often, I couldn’t turn it off and had to unplug it. Recently, the lamp’s touch function completely failed.
Since moving my blog entirely to Hugo, I have mostly hosted it on free platforms like Github Pages, Vercel, and Cloudflare Pages. However, due to well-known reasons, the connection speed of these platforms is noticeably slower compared to domestic servers. Although it’s possible to accelerate access by optimizing IPs, the average access time across the country still exceeds 700ms, and during peak hours at night, it can easily surpass 1 second. Recently, I purchased a budget Alibaba Cloud server from parent company Claw.cloud for $7 a year, located in Tokyo, Japan. It seemed perfect for Hugo, so I migrated my blog there.
