OmniGraffle is a diagramming application made by The Omni Group. It won the Apple Design Award in 2002. In many ways OmniGraffle is similar to Microsoft Visio. The OmniGraffle Pro version can use Visio's XML export function to import/export Visio XML files.
Earlier I tried to find out who the past owners of the domain I currently use were, curious about what they had used it for. Following up on 'The Story of My Domain: Digging Through Its Past and Present,' I continue to explore who those past owners were.
A few days ago, on May 17, 2020, the Hanbin District Branch of the Ankang City Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province posted on Weibo that Yang downloaded two apps, Laowang VPN and Ant VPN, on his phone in September 2019, installed them for free use, and used these two apps to establish an illegal channel for international networking. Under Articles 6 and 14 of the "Interim Provisions of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of International Networking of Computer Information Networks", the Hanbin Branch gave Yang an administrative warning and a 500 yuan fine.
ip.renfei.net pairs with DDNS dynamic DNS resolution for resolving dynamic IPs. In a dynamic-IP environment, it conveniently updates domain resolution records in time. On Linux, use curl ip.renfei.net to quickly query the public outbound IP. In a browser, use JavaScript to request ip.renfei.net to get the user's public IP address.
Recently, the Baidu Webmaster Platform (Baidu Search Resources Platform) updated and revamped, adding Quick Inclusion; the original URL submission became Normal Inclusion, and the original URL submission feature removed manual submission, meaning webmasters need coding knowledge to integrate Baidu Webmaster Platform's API to submit. But in my view, this newly added Quick Inclusion is just the previous Bear Palm (Xiongzhang) submission interface.
If your "crossing the wall" is just using Google search, watching Youtube, browsing Twitter, not posting content, and not bringing content back into the country — pure browsing — it's a minor violation but not a crime. Such cases are generally left alone, not filed; even if you go too far, it starts with a phone call and verbal warning, a written pledge, deleting what you posted, and they won't come to your door. Once they come to your door, a case has been filed.
Earlier I shared a cracked version of some software on my site, then received a legal email from "Si* Mading's" legal department asking me to remove the download link, so I did. I checked "Si* Mading's" authorization documents and they are indeed authorized in Mainland China, so I modified my program so visitors from Mainland China no longer get download links, and posted an article on WeChat Official Account. But this rogue "Si* Mading" complained about that article, saying it infringed their intellectual property. So I also decided to start speaking up.
I suddenly realized my first registered domain was 8 years ago. Eight springs and autumns have passed; I'm no longer the youth of those years but someone approaching thirty, recalling the webmasters and big names of that time.
Winter snow bids farewell, spring breeze brings warmth, a new year arrives, and New Year's Eve is full of joy. Amid firecrackers, the peach-wood charms turn fresh red; deep affection and strong feeling, your heart still wards off the cold winter. The years of Hai and Zi connect, the whole family rejoices, cups and goblets clink, gathered around the hearth keeping the old year and welcoming the new. A distant wish, sincerely with you in mind: may the family prosper in harmony, may myriad blessings converge, joy and peace, all things go as wished. May all you seek come true, may your path become smooth, much joy, lasting tranquility.
You can't directly see the public IP on a computer or server—only the internal IP is visible—so a program cannot know the address of its Internet exit. I wrote another app to obtain the public IP address. It is implemented using serverless function compute, with good availability and speed, so I'm sharing it for everyone to use.
