Life#
This month passed quickly, mainly because of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. During this year's National Day holiday, I took a trip near Linxia and didn't go anywhere else. During this time, I learned quite a few cooking skills and finally managed to cook at home with my wife instead of always eating out, which is a progress, haha.
In addition, I successfully quit smoking. I used to think quitting was very difficult, but unexpectedly, I didn't smoke for a week during the National Day holiday and found that I didn't really want to smoke anymore. Now, smoking a cigarette even feels a bit nauseating, so I guess I can consider it a success.
This year, the medical insurance policy has been adjusted, allowing each person to enjoy 400 yuan of medical insurance benefits. If there are many family members, this amount is not small. Recently, I discovered a new skill—I can use the balance on my medical insurance card to pay for my family's medical insurance. As long as I add my family members to the "Family Mutual Aid" account in Alipay, I can transfer the medical insurance balance to them. This operation requires facial recognition, but since my dad is in Xinjiang, remote operation is not possible, so I had to pay for it myself.
On the last day of the National Day holiday, I gathered with a few brothers. Now everyone is scattered all over the place, so it's not easy to get together, and we should cherish the time we have together.
Additionally, our workplace has added a billiards table. We originally had a mahjong table, and after work, everyone often played together, which is a transition from old to new, haha.
Work#
In previous years, work during this time was usually quite busy, but this year, for some reason, it has been relatively relaxed. The assessment work for rural revitalization is about to begin, and although I feel a bit indifferent, I ultimately couldn't escape responsibility. The materials for the village I am in charge of were not prepared well enough, and I was criticized. It was indeed my negligence; although the matter was resolved later and there wasn't much change, this mistake made me alert that I still need to do my best.
Blog#
This month, I updated 4 blog posts, which is a bit more than last month. I mainly researched the reader wall feature in Memos, Footprint Map, and Message Board, especially Memos, which I studied quite deeply. I really admire @Lao Zhang for his focus and dedication; I just tried it a bit and then gave up, haha.
I added "CDN" to my blog, but it can't be completely considered a CDN. The inspiration came from @Ye Wei Yang; the access speed is super fast. After seeing his blog configuration, I installed the plugin in the same way. However, due to server issues, I encountered some problems after installing the caching plugin. So I chose to directly use Tencent Cloud's EdgeOne, which is compatible with CDN functionality, and the effect is really great; the speed is satisfying.
Moreover, the topic of the blog circle has actually been discussed many times. Since 2021, I have not stopped maintaining the blog circle. RSS subscription has become a part of my blog, and the blog circle is also conducted through RSS subscriptions. To avoid disputes, I will notify my fellow bloggers in advance whether I will include their blogs. If they do not want to be included, I will manually unsubscribe.
I also established the Bokequan Community Forum and adopted an invitation system to prevent abuse by registration machines. In the early stage, I invited some fellow bloggers, and if anyone wishes to join, they can contact me via email or leave a message for me, and I will invite them to join.
