Linux, VPS
A short checklist for keeping a small server tidy: fewer moving parts, plain logs, one backup habit, and simple health checks that actually get read.
Hi, I'm Ming.
I write down what I learn.
I keep notes on Linux, small VPS setups, networking, Java tools, and the kind of tiny automation that saves time later. This site is part personal notebook, part project log, and part cleanup habit.

View archiveOps, Notes
Name services clearly, avoid clever defaults, and write down every port change the same day you make it. Future-you will be grateful.
Networking
A note to future me: write down purpose, source, destination, and rollback plan before changing exposure. It takes two minutes and saves an hour.
Current projects
hotswap
A Java agent based dynamic hot-reload script. I like small tools that help shorten the loop between changing code and confirming the result.
colorautoclick
A small script that recognizes target colors and clicks automatically. Simple idea, but a nice reminder that tiny automations can be surprisingly useful.
