家里有一台台式机，用着很爽。最近有需要到处使用电脑的需求，手头有一台老旧的macbook air，想来可以试试远程桌面。
NoMachine 的设置很简单，并支持Win/MacOS/Linux和各类手机(未尝试)，开箱almost可用，有一些小问题，特此记录一下：
- 我的PC是 linux，又是使用的大屏幕，自动转换分辨率并不支持。
- 我用colemak，PC上的键盘是在固件level改的，而mac的nomachine client无法forward这个设定。
好在 NoMachine 支持 callback custom script，在 session start /disconnect / close 等可以唤醒。设置在 /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg，用 xrandr 来改分辨率，setxkbmap 设置 keyboard layout。
#!/bin/bash
export XAUTHORITY=/home//.Xauthority
export DISPLAY=":0"
xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-0 --dpi 144 --set audio off --mode 1920x1080 &> /tmp/f.log
setxkbmap us &>> /tmp/f.log

I guess I should document this since I spent some time to get this to work.
In short, to rate limit a box to 30MB/s
tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 30mbps burst 10kb latency 70ms mtu 100000
The reason why we set mtu to 10000 is because of this.
To delete this rule:
tc qdisc del dev eth1 root
And to view current setting:
tc -s qdisc ls dev eth1

Thanks to pyusb, Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor and GcpUploader, I am finally able to sync my Garmin 310XT watch with Garmin connect on my Linux box.
Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor downloads all the activity files from the watch, then calls callback scripts under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME(usually ~/.config)/garmin-extractor/scripts. In this case, it calls a script that uses gcpuploader to upload to Garmin Connect.
Don’t be fooled by the name, Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor actually supports a lot of Garmin devices that use ANT+:
- Garmin Forerunner 60
- Garmin Forerunner 405CX
- Garmin Forerunner 310XT
- Garmin Forerunner 610
- Garmin Forerunner 910XT
- Garmin FR70
- Garmin Swim
Here is what I did (on Archlinux, other distro should be similar):
sudo pacman -S python2-pip #install pip for python2
sudo pip2 install pyusb --pre #need version newer than 1.0a2
sudo pip2 install GcpUploader #install GcpUploader
git clone [email protected]:Tigge/Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor.git
cd Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor
# since we run as root, so the config needs to be under /root
sudo cp scripts/40-upload_to_garmin_connect.py /root/.config/garmin-extractor/scripts
sudo chmod a+x /root/.config/garmin-extractor/scripts/40-upload_to_garmin_connect.py
Also needs to change the path to gupload in the script:
# CHANGE ME:
gupload = "/usr/bin/gupload.py"
Add garmin connect credentials in /root/.guploadrc
[Credentials]
username=yourgarminuser
password=yourgarminpass
Finally, run garmin.py to sync!
sudo python2 garmin.py
Bonus: I also find trapiriik.com can sync between Garmin connect, Runkeeper, Strava, endomondo activities. One button push, sync all of them. Or for $2 a year, it can auto sync between accounts. Pretty good deal 🙂

Tmux
Tmux是screen的替代品, 因为screen项目基本已死, 又buggy, code又很臃肿, 所以就有了Tmux. Tmux已经存在有一段时间了, 不过一直没有特别需求从screen转过去. 最近因为想着要竖着切屏就换了. 基本用得功能都差不多, Tmux可以自动更新title也是很有用的.
Z – jump around
https://github.com/rupa/z
Z是帮助用户快速跳转到想去的dir的. 不知道有多少次想跳转一个文件夹的时候要打一段很长的前缀, 这个小script就轻松解决这一问题: 只要输入这个dir的特征字段既可.
HuffShell
https://github.com/paulmars/huffshell
这也是个很实用的工具, 通过对.bash_history的分析来设定常用的alias, 来减少击键, 从而增加效率.
Lift.do
这是一个iOS App, 从最开始private beta的时候就开始关注了, 目的是帮助用户建立良好的习惯, 可以设定一系列的目标每天签到, 并且可以给与完成同样目标的人一个(like). UI很简洁, 用起来效果很好. 我因此开始了睡前仰卧起坐, 起床俯卧撑, 并且每天吃早餐等好习惯.
Workflowy

Workflowy是一个极简主义的to-do list App, 没有Catalog, 没有reminder, 没有repeat event, 只有非常basic的list, sublist和tag. 从复杂的to-do list还原到最简单的list, 最大的收获是input变得容易很多, 有兴趣可以试一下.
