iTlakbb 轉出號碼

話說都忍咗 iTalkBB 好撚耐,基於號碼非我名下,故我未能查詢帳戶。家人又話想想留返個號碼,就特登買張電話卡,先由 VoIP landline 轉去 mobile,之後會再轉去 google voice。

要轉走 iTalkBB 號碼,你需要知道:

1. 你個電話號碼 (廢話)

2. 你個客戶號碼 (要自己打電話去問)

3. PIN ( iTalkBB 聲稱話無 PIN,但 port out number 人地一定要你打,咁我就用咗注册人個生日 MMDD 做 PIN)

4. Zipcode,呢個最吊鬼,我不下試咗兩次唔同o既新舊地址個 zipcode 都唔啱,玩咗四日都轉唔到台。最終,我上網搵啲同胞討論區,知道佢用咗 TX 78746 呢個 zipcode。最終就轉台成功。

終於可以收 iTalkBB 皮,再見。

新手參與 Section 8 rental (CHA, 資助房屋收租) 中途感想

唉,幾經波折,終於收到當局o既第一張 check (應該話係第一筆 direct deposit 先真)。可惜條數都仲係錯,心情唔多好,等遲啲有心情先再詳細寫翻個紀錄。

簡而言之,切記,間屋 closing 之後就有理無理就即刻去 CHA 度做 ownership transfer,行咗正常程序包無錯,亦保障自己萬一出咩事幹你就可以用正常程序去處理。我呢次個教訓就有啲貴囉。。。暫時損失咗兩個月o既租金,屌你老味。

新手參與 Section 8 rental (CHA, 資助房屋收租)

今次真係玩實戰,用自己名,真係未出發就先興奮。就如買樓一樣,對家講o既所謂建議或者經驗,不能盡信,作為參考便好。

Ownership 最好搞清楚,畢竟錢銀責任 closing 後全是買家,但 section 8 record 仲喺賣家,有問題出現就會引申無限麻煩。我就正正中咗個小麻煩,話說個 tenant 唔租之後,又無通知 section 8。正常個 tenant 會申請下一間租屋,咁 Section 8 嗰邊就會自動 terminate 佢現有租屋個 contract 同 update status。但又好衰唔衰佢未搵到心水o既下一間屋,無通知 section 8,導致 section 8 以為間屋個租客未搬出,導致我 start 唔到  process  去出租俾新租客。最後要搞 transfer of ownership。

跟住個電話 number 又唔知點解被入錯,導致我收唔到 inspector 個 call,令成個安排失敗咗。

最終要打電去,改電話 number, schedule re-inspection。成件時又 delay 8 days。

欲知後事如何 且看下回分解。

Adguard Home @ Oracle Cloud free tier

其實好耐之前玩過一次,不過今次轉去 Oracle Cloud,唔駛用自己電費。

最簡單咁起個 Ubuntu Instance,再跟住 github 度做就得。

 我開得 post 都梗係唔會咁簡單。話說 check 過晒啲 setting,又 ssh 入到個 instance,個 service 又行緊叫你入 http://ip:3000/ 入去做 setup,但梗係唔知點解入唔到去。俾我發現原來 Ubuntu 自己本身啲 firewall 未開番 ingress rules.

要喺 /etc/iptables/rules.v4 度加入下邊三行:

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

 之後,refresh 一下個 firewall rules ,跟住你就會順利入到個介面。

再之就喺自己啲  devices 度指去你個 instance 個 IP Address,完成。

HP LaserJet P1006 之重新 - Network Shared Printing

話說家中有部陳年的 HP LaserJet P1006。呢部嘢十分騎呢,我都唔係好知 printing o既 protocol,以我有限o既知識o既理解就係,呢部煩嘢係將要 print o既嘢,全部轉成 image 先再 print 出嚟,估計都係啲史前o既產物。

轉入正題,話說近來我安裝o左 unRAID,突然靈機一觸,既然個 server 長著,係唔係又好似之前 DSM o既實驗咁,host 個 printer server 令部陳年 laser printer 可以變成 network printer 呢。

上網 search 咗一下,有一個 docker 叫 CUPS,用嚟做 printer server。咁我就拿拿林就安裝,揀好型號再裝好 driver,到裝好之後就試 print test print。事情就當然無咁順利喇。部 printer 一啲反應都無。click 落去 log,就有一堆 error:

E [15/Jan/2022:13:19:16 -0600] [Client 307] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/HP_LaserJet_P1006) from localhost.

W [15/Jan/2022:13:25:19 -0600] CreateDevice failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files

上網一查,發現部 printer 除咗要裝 driver 之外,仲要裝一個HPLIP o既 Plug-in 佢先可以 printer 到嘢。估計都係因為佢奇奇怪怪o既打印方法。我遇到兩個問題,就係唔知點 download 同唔知點 run。

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins

睇完一大輪,HP 淨係叫人喺 CLI 度打 HP-setup 或者 HP-plugin,我心諗,屌,我喺 docker 度裝 CUPS,咩都無裝又點會行到呢兩個 command 呀師傅。

搞咗一大輪,沮喪到就嚟放棄之際,我就喺 terminal 度手痕打 HP-plugin 試下。嘩,屌,真係有反應o架喎。唔好問我點解得,我都唔知點解,佢可能原生就有娤咗 HP 個 printing package。但入到去有三個 options, d 就係 download,p 就俾條 path, q 就 exit。揀 'd' 佢又話 download 唔到喎。咁我咪 wget 個 plug-in 囉,可以去呢個網址度睇下:

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins

一個係 .run 尾,一個係 .asc 尾,兩個都要 download,因為佢要計一下個 plug-in 係唔係原裝無俾人 alert 過。跟住再 hp-plugin 入去,今次揀 p 去 specify 頭先 download 咗返嚟個 path。仆你街,佢又話咩 Gnu command not found。上網搵一輪之後原來又要裝個咩 gnupg o既 package。由於 CUPS 係 debian 底o既 docker。所以可以用 apt install gnupg 呢個 command 去 download 同 install 所需 package. 之後再行 hp-plugin,入到去再 specify 條 path 就真係大功告成。我估唔到真係會得咗。

最開心係 iPhone 都睇到個 printer 可以喺部陳年 printer 度打印。又學多樣嘢。

學黃子華話齋,唔搵錢嗰啲,係技能定無能呢?
