Roof painting

Normally all rust have to be taken and the surface should be clean
But I'm lazy so I used a paint that directly suitable to paint over rust. サビの上からそのまま塗れる塗料

アサヒペン 油性高耐久アクリルトタン用塗料
Although it's oil based, the smell is weak and pleasant to work with.

資産

がんばってローンを支払い終えたら、その家は資産でしょうか？資産とは、お金を生み出す場所。お金を生み出すことなく、税金がかかり、補修費用が必要になるのであれば、それは負債です

This is biggest myth about normal real estate in Japan, using 35 years "flat" loan.

At the end of loan, it will not become an asset, but a burden.

PJ1/2 : mainly faucet

G1/2: pipe, can connect to PJ1/2

W26山20: faucet output, many water related devices use this interface. Cannot connect to PJ1/2 an G1/2. Need a converter

ホース: free-size pipe

Multiple SSL on same IP

There is a known web server limits, make it hard to host many SSL on same server with only 1 IP address. (see http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html )

An SSL certificate with several names seems to be the simplest solution. Here is outline of 1 way to do it:
* Automate using https://github.com/srvrco/getssl to get certificates
* Let's encrypt with 1 main domain, other domains consider as alternative names

Steps
1. Initialize configurations: getssl -c MAIN.DOMAIN

2. Change CA to production, ACCOUNT_EMAIL in ~/.getssl/getssl.cfg

3. Enter SANS, ACL,RELOAD_CMD in ~/.getssl/MAIN.DOMAIN/getssl.cfg

ACL is path (public accessible via URL) to verify your domains.
it must have same number of lines as number of your domains.

RELOAD_CMD can be 

sudo nginx -s reload

Let's current user is deploy. visudo to allow: 

deploy ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/nginx

4. Get certificates: getssl MAIN.DOMAIN
5. Configure nginx to use certificates in ~/.getssl/MAIN.DOMAIN
6. Automate renew using cron

35年ローンだと35年後に老朽化で改築でまたローンですか？ そうすると、一生資産でなく負債という現実

自己資金比率が10％未満の場合におけるデフォルト率は、20％以上30％未満の場合に比べて2倍近くに達している。自己資金比率が高まるほどデフォルト率が下がることはいうまでもないだろう。

Console progress bar

It's very simple:

import sys
def update_progress(iteration, total):
    percent = int(iteration * 100.0 / total)
    sys.stdout.write(
        "\r[ {0:<51} ] {1}% ~{2}".format(
            '#' * (percent / 2), percent, iteration
        )
   )

The main trick is character "\r", which clear previous line.

Linux installation

2 years using OSX gave me more insight on how Unix system work more than before. This time for new home's desktop, I decided to use a Linux.

I chosen Debian testing with XFCE

 http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso 

Why testing? It has latest piece of software. Seems to unstable but it works. There is a good alternative are Mint, elementaryOS, good-looking but buggy, and security faults are largely ignored www.techrepublic.com/article/why-the-linux-mint-hack-is-an-indicator-of-a-larger-problem/

XFCE gives many customization chance and very, very fast! Resources usage is also optimized.



Default fonts is unpleasant, especially for Japanese text. To have above result, there is a fix for it by setting fallback chain in /etc/fonts/local.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Here I used Tahoma from Windows and Monaco from OSX, but Open Sans and Ubuntu Mono are good alternatives. Takao font is an IPA font derivatives, installed by apt-get install fonts-takao*

Font Osaka causing ugly rendering on many latin characters, better to remove it
sudo rm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Osaka* -f

It's easy to set system wide shortcuts. There are 2 places:
* Window manager: pre-defined functions
* Keyboard setting: a function is a command

About input methods, there is "uim", better than D-bus and Scim etc I have used.

For Japanese I use Mozc. It's important to set "Default input mode" to Hiragana to make it work as expected.

For Vietnamese I use m17nlib. Add "m17n-vi-telex" to Enabled input methods. It just works.

apt-get install  uim-mozc uim-m17nlib uim-gtk2.0 uim-gtk3

Hope that using it daily can boost Linux skill :D
