It's called a year-end summary, but it was actually only posted on the first day of the new year... Well, the school only had a holiday on the 31st, and I didn't have time to write the year-end summary earlier due to academic reasons. I only had time to open my computer and type in the afternoon of New Year's Day.
Before we start, let me explain why the year-end summary is posted on xLog 🥲 My original blog used the database from deta.space, but that service shut down in October... I wrote an automatic script to back up the blog data, so while the blog data is still there, I haven't had time to migrate it, as the workload is just too much 😢 I'll wait until after the college entrance examination to design a brand new blog with care!
Now, let's get to the main content!
2024 Major Events#
Ray Built a NAS!#
Around April 2024, Ray built a NAS 🥰 To be more accurate, it should be called a HomeLab, as it runs a bunch of services, and storage has become an additional feature.
Since the purchase, Ray has continuously added a lot of things into it. As of writing this article, the configuration on the NAS is as follows:
| Name | Model | Source |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i3-9100t seems to be a brand new piece? | Xianyu |
| Memory | DDR4 2666MHz 16G + 32G | Taobao |
| Power Supply | Great Wall 200W | Taobao |
| Motherboard | Nasse B365 | Taobao |
| Case | YG MS04 | Taobao |
| Network Card | Heating King Intel X540-T2 | Xianyu |
| M.2 SSD | Samsung PM9A1 1TB | Xianyu |
| M.2 SSD | Samsung PM983 256GB | Classmate |
| SSD | Kingston KC600 256GB | Home relic |
| HDD | Seagate IronWolf 4TB | Taobao |
| HDD | WD Purple 4TB | Classmate |
| HDD | WD HC530 14TB | Taobao |
Using PVE as the underlying system installed on PM983, the black Synology is a virtual machine, booted by RR, with PM9A1 and SATA controller passed through.
There aren't many installed packages, most services run in Docker:
- Tachidesk: Read novels
- MCSManager: Create MC server
- Alist: Link small cloud storage
- Reader: Read novels
- Forgejo: Store small code
- VaultWarden: Password manager
- Matrix: Matrix HomeServer and bridge
- Lucky: Reverse proxy + STUN penetration
- Mastodon: Woolly mammoth
- Authentik: SSO
- WatchTower: Automatic container updates
In addition to the above services, there are some film and television-related services like MoviePilot, qBittorrent, ChineseSubFinder, and Emby. By selecting the resources needed through a bot, they can be automatically downloaded and scraped into the library, so I can watch them when I get home (x
New Keyboard and New Mouse#
Just got a new keyboard: DrunkDeer A75 Pro, mainly used for typing, but the magnetic switch feels unexpectedly good for coding (x
Just got a new mouse: Wanling Huashou Max. Ray's old G502 started to stick after two years of service, and a friend recommended this mouse, so I bought it (
Temporarily Withdrawing from the Open Source Community#
Coding is a very interesting thing, especially contributing to Vue Language Tools. I often feel happy when I come up with a good improvement plan for Virtual Code ^^
But this also means spending a lot of energy and time thinking and solving problems. For a senior high school student, time is always insufficient 🥲 Therefore, after struggling and thinking internally, I decided to temporarily put down this community that I love and continue after the college entrance examination!
2024 Summary#
Learning#
It's the senior year, and the pressure is high, but some idiots still like to be abstract.
The moral education department checks hair every week, the homeroom teacher has an excess of self-awareness, and the gym has been closed for half a year without anyone fixing it.
The homeroom teacher is over 40 and still unmarried, suspected to have emotional issues, and shares some classic quotes with everyone.
- “Come ** here for a moment, why did you close the door when I walked by just now? Do you have any objections to me?” (** is my name)
Actually, it was just that the wind blew when he passed by, and I closed the door without thinking that his self-awareness was overflowing.
- How↓e↑ver↓
Whenever he reads this word in an English article, he always emphasizes it with a strange tone, making it impossible to look at the word directly.
- What does it have to do with you!
One day, this person came to the class to find a classmate, but he was so funny that someone burst into laughter, so during English class, he let out a war cry to the whole class. The full text was “I scold once every time I see, what does it have to do with you!”
In four months, this person has produced many quotable lines and has become a walking joke 🤣
Back to the main topic, in the first semester of senior year, all subjects except English have already started the first round of review. Even the slowest English finished the in-class curriculum a week ago. However, our school has a consistent practice of not participating in the city quality inspection self-titled exams, resulting in no major exams ranking in the province throughout the semester except for the upcoming final exam 😢 T8 joint exam was also not participated in this year, probably because the paper was too lame (
Gaming#
No time to play games. The account was lent to a friend.
Coding#
As mentioned above, I will stop participating in open source this year, so the commits on GitHub are mostly from bots, with very few being submitted by me 🫠
(The accumulated Inbox looks like this, I cleared it about a month ago)
But let's set a few goals for 2025!
Create Small Devices#
Still because of senior year, Ray is disarmed (sad) and will consider buying a Pixel after the college entrance examination (?)
In addition to the NAS, I also bought a small N5000 host at home to serve as a soft router. The memory is 4G, mainly because the family replaced the router and finally set up a Mesh network. The previous experience with the powerline adapter from the chrysanthemum factory was really not commendable 😅 The new router is also from the chrysanthemum brand, and it seems to drop packets when the number of connections is high. I just wanted to experience transparent proxy and AdGuard, so I impulsively purchased and flashed the CatWrt from the great master Meow, and the experience is quite good, has been running stably for 114514 days
Socializing#
This year has been another year of accompanying friends from the Chuangzi Lan group!
Thanks to the following group friends for accompanying me in QQ and Uncle Du's group this year:
chihuo2104、sci、mzw、猫猫、柏园猫、69、欧阳淇淇、zzjzxq33！
Film and Television#
This year I got in touch with PT and managed to get quite a few invitations by chance () This part can't be elaborated on.
Currently using Emby to build a media library, and the visual effect after beautification is quite good.
Later, I plan to buy a small TV box or flash Android TV x86 on an old computer to watch on the TV 🥰
2025 Outlook#
I hope to fully devote myself to studying in the next six months, at least knowing that I have worked hard before, and not leaving regrets in my life. But such utilitarian studying still leaves me a bit confused: is it to acquire knowledge for exams, or to acquire knowledge for the sake of exams?
In a month or two, I will turn 18. I want to experience the feeling of unlocking the baby lock, and then go to HK to open a card (x) I regretted not going when someone else went to open it before (
As for gaming, I need to practice shooting 😭👊 I need to practice shooting 😭👊 I need to practice shooting 😭👊
You are right, but the Void Time Realm Maniac is a T0 level good gun (my favorite skin will be bought after the college entrance examination on the Hong Kong server).
As for my projects, I might prioritize refactoring Clerc? It seems that there are many unnecessary over-designs in it, and some logical codes are really hard to look at () After the refactoring, I might continue writing my MC launcher while maintaining Vue Language Tools.
Then I also need to learn network knowledge with friends from the Zilan group (x Compared to my friends, I am just a network idiot (x
After the college entrance examination, I plan to go to VueConf and meet up with friends from the group 🥰
I also need to fix the blog and move this article onto it
Finally#
My mind is filled with thoughts, but when facing the screen, it seems I can't type anything. So let's stop here!
Wishing all the viewers who read this a safe and joyful new year, and hoping for a smooth and healthy new year for friends from the Zilan group! See you next year this year!
