For the previous two months, we met at the shared space of Second Space. Today, for the first time, we moved to the larger club meeting room of Xiongxiaolian. From the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 9th floor, you can overlook the scenery of Central Park across the street.
Today’s theme was in the form of lightning talks.
Agenda: 2512- 第一次雄校聯聚會
Shawn shared how he transformed a Pi500 into a genuinely usable computer. Add an external monitor, and the cost is getting close to an Android tablet. Not to mention that the Wayland desktop still has to be configured by yourself. As expected, he also encountered the problem where Fcitx5 cannot input Chinese in certain GTK programs.
A high school student came up to share the 鑽石Minecraft伺服器託管 service they operate. Although part of it is modified from the public Pterodactyl Panel, it is still very impressive. It has a complete management system that can hot-swap Minecraft server cores without typing commands. It reminded me of a feat like Aternos.
The topic YC wanted to solve for the FRRouting Project was too specialized. This is basically at a level only industry insiders can answer, right? I could only keep nodding and pretend I understood. Phew, if we had to do a group discussion, I am afraid I would not be able to help.
Peter seemed very interested in Android flashing and degoogle projects, and even wanted to make a website providing flashing information. Mm-hmm, this kind of website is already rare in the Chinese-speaking world. There is almost no professional discussion forum like XDA. But his understanding of process terminology was not very deep, and after asking, I found out he indeed had never flashed a phone before. I think having actual hands-on experience would make it easier for people to understand the reasons for flashing! If you want to persuade others to flash their phones, start by flashing your main phone to LineageOS! Personally bear the pain of failing Play Integrity! When I said this, Amos, who was next to me holding a Samsung folding phone worth tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars, retreated a little. Well, after all, Samsung is a very nasty company, using the permanent Knox fuse mechanism to threaten people not to flash their phones.
For the first time, someone told me face to face that they read my blog, and there were more than two of them. They thanked me because my Fcitx5 tutorial content had helped them. I felt extremely happy and also bashful, because this blog has too many embarrassing things……
Amos talked about the CC 4.0-licensed open source album project 《時間浸漬》, launched through cooperation between Lin Chiang & Luca Bonaccorsi and the Open Culture Foundation. It is really super interesting. I really like his works after 娛樂世界, and I did not expect that he is still so avant-garde now, willing to explore new business models for the music industry. By the way, when Radiohead released In Rainbows, they also tried an innovative method where buyers decided the purchase amount themselves.

I originally thought of the topic “Phosh on Surface” on the spot and wanted to go up and talk, hoping to demonstrate the development results of Linux on Mobile. But because some speakers took too much time, I have to wait until next time to continue. Hmm… anyway, it is not an important topic. I also have more time to draft a more complete talk script.
At this Christmas season, a huge Christmas tree stood at the exit of Central Park MRT Station. As night gradually sank lower, the distant lights slowly lit up.
