夜捅马蜂窝
前院花坛的短墙是我刚刚搬家进来时修的, 当时比较仓促, 所以墙上有些砖缝比较不合格. 没想到今年夏天一窝马峰在此安家了, 日子还过的不错. 老婆在除草时显然惊扰了马蜂, 被蜇了一下慌忙撤退. 我本来想雇人搞定, 但在 YouTube 上搜了一下, 很多人都是自己动手不求人的. 当然方法很重要, 被马蜂群攻击是有生命危险的. 最重要的就是一定要夜袭, 因为夜间蜂群是回窝休息的, 附近没有巡逻兵. 我买了一瓶消灭蜂窝的干粉, 看起来像过期的白面. 一个宁静的晚上我悄悄接近蜂窝, 居然有些马蜂还在窝口处乘凉, 我把大量干粉喷洒在蜂窝口就迅速原路撤回, 因为一些马蜂已经起飞准备战斗了. 第二天早上我再去查看时, 那群马蜂已经玩完了 🙂

Kubernetes External Service with HTTPS
This is a quick example to assign an SSL certificate to a Kubernetes external service(which is an ELB in AWS). Tested with kops 1.8 and kubernetes 1.8. — apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: my-https-service namespace: my-project labels: app: my-website-ssl annotations: service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: “arn:aws:acm:ap-southeast-2:xxx:certificate/xxx…” service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: “http” service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-ports: “https” service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout: ‘3600’ spec: type: LoadBalancer selector: app: my-website…

Get access to a container in Kubernetes cluster
With Kubernetes(K8s), there’s no need to do ssh user@host anymore since everything is running as containers. There are still occasions when I need shell access to a container to do some troubleshooting. With Docker I can do It’s quite similar in K8s However in K8s containers have random IDs so I need to know the…

柳暗花明的2017
对比忙于奔命的2016年, 2017年是收获颇丰但又不失平衡的一年. 在3月份, 我们一家宣誓成为了土澳的公民. 这是我们这几年一直期待的, 当然, 事到临头心情却是复杂的. 另外在公民仪式上我们得到一份礼物, 一盆土澳特有的本地花卉. 我想着本地物种应该很有能耐吧, 就随便把它放在花园里了. 结果冬天没过完它就死了… 有了”身份”后我想着要是有机会去很”土澳”的公司工作一下一定能学到很多”精髓”, 没想到不久之后我很走运的拿到了AFL的工作offer, 没有像以往那样在最后一轮面试时落马. 工作上的收获就不赘述了, 之前的笔记有很多都是这方面的. 二宝在年初时中耳积液, 导致几乎失聪, 之前学会的咿咿呀呀也都忘了. 医生起初认为二宝是自闭儿童, 把我们愁了个不轻. 还是老婆意志力比较强, “毛病再多也得把她养大”, “我们没有别的选择”. 好在给二宝戴助听设备数月之后, 二宝的听力貌似开始恢复了, 逐渐开始响应我们的呼唤. 她并不是自闭, 只是什么都没听到, 生活在静音的世界里. 收获最大的当属大宝笑笑, 终于在老婆的威逼利诱下对家里已经买了二年多的钢琴产生了兴趣. 而且我们在居住区附近找到了大宝的钢琴老师, 让大宝把钢琴+五线谱一起学了. 几个月以后笑笑参加了老师组织的汇报演奏音乐会. 笑笑在绘画方面的进步也很大, 我让她把自己的作品扫描上传到她自己的blog, 但她似乎兴趣不大, 上一次更新停在3月… 笑笑的期末评估也很好, 所有科目都比去年的成绩好(因为去年以及前年我们陪笑笑的时间也少). 今年完成的另一件大事是我帮爸妈提交了移民申请, 希望几年后能顺利团聚. 父母的移民申请基本上是DIY的, 填写的表格可以铺满地板. 感谢老婆的支持以及”过来人”朋友的经验分享. 土澳移民的确越来越难了. 🙂

Internal Service in Kubernetes Cluster
In Kubernetes(K8s) cluster, 1 or more containers form a pod and every container in the pod can access other container’s port just like apps in the same local host. For example: – pod1 – nginx1 – gunicorn1, port:8000 – pod2 – nginx2 – gunicorn2, port:8000 So nginx1 can access gunicorn1’s port using localhost:8000 and nginx2…

Build a Chrome Extension with VueJS
It turns out quite easy to build a Chrome Extension. Basically the extension is a web application containing HTML, JS, images, etc. I tried to build a simple extension using VueJS recommended by colleagues. There’s just 1 limitation that affected me: The eval JS function is disabled in Chrome Extensions for security reasons. That means…

Kops: Add Policies for Migrated Apps
When migrating some old applications to a Kubernetes(k8s) cluster provisioned by kops, a lot of things might break and one of them is the missing policy for the node. By default, nodes of a k8s cluster have the following permissions: ec2:Describe* ecr:GetAuthorizationToken ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability ecr:GetDownloadUrlForLayer ecr:GetRepositoryPolicy ecr:DescribeRepositories ecr:ListImages ecr:BatchGetImage route53:ListHostedZones route53:GetChange // The following permissions are…

Resolved: Arch Linux WiFi issue
When I connected my laptop running Arch Linux to a new WiFi this morning, it worked for a brief moment then all connections were dropped. Connecting to the same WiFi with phone or Macbook works fine so the problem is at Arch LInux(AL)’s end. Then I noticed if I do a route it actually showed 2…
