My first trial service on Steem has come to an end


@vornix was born right after me and a couple of friend spotted the demand increased @steempress received that juicy 1M delegation. Everyone including me suddenly want to own a blog to make use of the steempress wordpress plugin. We gladly took the first move to provide a very convenient solution to Steemians while claiming it out first venture in the business on top of blockchain, although Vornix is not a DAPP by definition.

The journey is soon to be ended due to various reasons. Built some relationship and learnt some lessons along the way, and let’s move on to the next project.


Vornix 身为 Steem 上第一个 Wordpress 服务提供者终于告一段落了。基于熊市的低迷还有无法持续创造现金流等问题,多三个月就会结束了这段旅程。令人欣慰的是,Vornix 的出现让人们以极低的成本真正体验了完整版的 Wordpress。现在就是时候让用户们决定是否继续在那个平台上持续创造了。

Basic VPS hardening tips from Privex


I’ve been a long time @privex customer for their awesome VPS service. Awesome uptime and very reasonably positioned price. When I said awesome uptime, I mean zero downtime and in fact the only downtime I had was due to Privex schedule upgrade maintenance.

I was looking back at the old mails and found an interesting security tips by Privex upon the VPS distribution to me few months ago which I has been ignored. Some really basic but essential tricks to implement on one VPS for security hardening:

  • Install fail2ban apt install fail2ban to block SSH brute force attacks
  • Move your SSH port above 10000, this prevents SSH brute force attacks causing network problems
  • Change your password using passwd
  • Update your system with apt update and apt upgrade -y

    When you are sick of cluttered and messy new tab page

    firefox_2019-03-05_01-08-36.jpg

    Tabliss in Firefox gives the new page a new life by swapping a new wallpaper in every time you open a new page. There is no way to configure anything on the page, strictly just a clock with a greeting base on the time it detected. Sometimes I would just leave the new page on while my PC is left idling, it serve the wallpaper purpose really well and gives me a better mood each time I open a new tab.

    When speculation on Steem goes right

    chrome_2019-03-04_01-14-15.png

    When I was informed Steem bulled to $0.42 two days ago, my speculative habit made me sold all the 2000 liquid Steem I had on the account as I think the rise was too sharp. The price always corrected within a few days after such a sharp raise.

    I’m glad I made the right call.

    I've been wasting the powerful Thunderbolt3 ports

    image.png

    I’ve been using this Thunderbolt3 enabled MacBook Air for few months. Both the TB3 ports has only been utilised for one purpose, charging the laptop itself. No data transferring, no display exporting or any other purposes other than charging. The reason is simple, I simply don’t have a Type C to Type C cable yet.

    There has been some occasions that I would like to utilise the port for simple data transferring and to no vail at the end as there is no suitable tools available. Maybe I should at least get a Type A adapter for temporary usage. Such a waste leaving those powerful ports untouched.
