微軟在2025年5月5日關閉Skype。我本來以為對我影響不大，聽說現在已經不用Skype打0800免費電話。不過似乎不是每個銀行都是如此。
Microsoft is shutting down Skype on May 5, 2025. I initially thought it wouldn't affect me much, hearing that Skype is no longer needed for calling 0800 toll-free numbers. However, it seems that's not the case for every bank.

說到人體工學這件事情，我想講一下燈光的問題。作為租屋族，我發現大部分租屋環境的燈光都不太適合長時間使用電腦。這個問題有兩個層面：一個是螢幕前的光線不足，另一個是螢幕後的光線不足。瞭解這兩種燈光的問題，才能改善眼睛疲勞的狀況。
Speaking of ergonomics, I want to talk about lighting. As a renter, I've found that the lighting in most rentals isn't suitable for prolonged computer use. There are two aspects to this problem: insufficient light in front of the screen, and insufficient light behind the screen. Understanding these two lighting issues is key to improving eye strain.

如果手機無法連上4G或5G網路，除了重開機或短暫切換成飛航模式之外，還可以將SIM卡的網路模式暫時切換，讓4G或5G網路斷線後重連，這樣就可以讓行動網路重新運作了。
If your phone can't connect to a 4G or 5G network, besides restarting your phone or briefly switching to airplane mode, you can also temporarily switch the network mode of your SIM card to disconnect and reconnect to the 4G or 5G network. This can get your mobile network working again.

客製化Nextcloud的下一步，我們能不能將外部網頁嵌入到Nextcloud的應用程式裡面呢？答案是使用外部網頁(External sites)擴充功能。我們可以進一步在Docker的Hook Folders中的post-installation資料夾中加入腳本，讓Nextcloud安裝完成後，自動開啟外部網頁擴充功能，並且將指定的網址加入到Nextcloud系統中。
The next step in customizing Nextcloud: can we embed external web pages into Nextcloud applications? The answer is yes, using the External sites app. We can further automate this process by adding a script to the post-installation folder within the Docker Hook Folders. This script will enable the External sites app and add specific URLs to the Nextcloud system after Nextcloud installation is complete.

If you want to drastically modify the Nextcloud web interface, creating a theme is probably the most common suggestion.

既然談到用Docker架設Nextcloud，那我們就要活用Docker的架構，讓Nextcloud不僅僅是「開箱可用」，而且還是「自訂後」的可用。我們可以客製化的指令放在「/docker-entrypoint-hooks.d/post-installation」資料夾內，這樣就可以讓Nextcloud初次安裝完成後，自動進行我們要的設定。
Since we're talking about setting up Nextcloud with Docker, let's leverage Docker's architecture to make Nextcloud not just "usable out-of-the-box," but usable after customization. We can place custom commands in the /docker-entrypoint-hooks.d/post-installation directory, allowing Nextcloud to automatically perform our desired configurations after the initial installation completes.

PDF's annotation feature allows us to add additional text, highlights, lines, and notes directly onto the original file. These annotations can also be deleted or modified, preserving the original document's integrity. However, manually removing a large number of annotations can be quite tedious.

列印、簽名、拍照、轉換成PDF、上傳，這是現在很多證明文件的處理手續。處理後的PDF檔案只是圖片的封裝，不能直接選取與複製，只能作為證明文件留存，這已經是最基本的資安防護手段。然而，如果可以將數位文件直接轉換成彷彿掃描檔一樣的檔案，那不就可以省下列印與掃描的繁雜手續了嗎？也許這時候Docker APP ScanSim PDF就能夠派上用場了。
Printing, signing, taking a photo, converting it to PDF, and uploading it—this is the procedure for processing many verification documents nowadays. The processed PDF file is merely a container for the image; the text cannot be directly selected or copied. It can only serve as an archive of the verification document, which is a basic security measure. However, if digital documents could be directly converted into files that resemble scanned documents, wouldn't that eliminate the tedious printing and scanning steps? Perhaps the Docker APP ScanSim PDF could be useful in this situation.
