Monthly Journal

2026-04-15

• Added checkbox format support.
• Checked the Hexo render engine after Gemini’s suggestion.
• Enabled gfm: true in _config.yml to support task-list checkboxes.
• Added the About page with hexo new about and updated the theme menu configuration.
• Added a 404 page and sitemap support to improve Google search indexing.

2026-04-16

• Created a fresh Hexo blog with hexo init and migrated the existing posts into the new site.
• Backed up the Joplin PostgreSQL database with pg_dump.
• Noted that Joplin consumes too much memory on the VPS. After migration to Bandwagon, it should run on demand instead of staying in the background.

2026-04-17

• Built Zeek on Raspberry Pi 4B with 8 GB memory.
• Added GitHub notes about the build failure and the workaround.
• Tested another Raspberry Pi board with a GPIO-controlled fan, but the power current shortage may harm the board, so the simple wiring approach needs caution.

2026-04-21

• Confirmed that Raspberry Pi system architecture needs more than uname -m; getconf LONG_BIT is useful for identifying the actual runtime bitness.
• Looked for more job opportunities on LinkedIn, including Tesla, PayPay, and OpenAI.
• Read a book on classical Chinese reading methods. The nine principles felt close to Zhuangzi’s thinking, and I tried to understand the author’s reasoning more carefully.

2026-04-27

• Started research for an open-source Agent platform project.
• Reviewed Agentic AI security material from OWASP and IBM: OWASP IBM.
• Read AWS material on building and using agents: AWS Agentic AI Infrastructure Practice.
• Watched Lisa Genova’s talk on memory: Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting.

2026-04-28

• Configured Cloudflared on Raspberry Pi to expose SSH and web UI access.
• Prepared to migrate the blog website behind Cloudflare CDN.
• Configured Cloudflare CDN, freed port 443 on the VPS, and used Cloudflare SSL offloading.
• Found that Sing-box deployment is still complex because version splits make configuration and cross-platform adaptation difficult.
