website·Indexed 32 days ago
https://zhichao.org/A technical blog featuring guides and tutorials on frontend development (Vue, Vite, TypeScript, CSS), Linux VPS configuration, network setup (ZeroTier, Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel), and database installation (MySQL, Redis, MongoDB). It also includes hardware reviews and performance benchmarks for various VPS providers and components.
What's inside zhichao.org
- The BandwagonHost Basic VPS in the New York USNY_6 datacenter is a standard network instance recently upgraded to AMD EPYC-Genoa hardware. It is recommended for hosting websites targeting users in Europe and the US. While it offers clean IP addresses with high streaming media unlock rates, it has higher latency (approximately 60ms more) compared to US West Coast datacenters like Los Angeles.
Overview of Evoxt Premium Net VPS Services
Evoxt provides low-cost VPS options with optimized Asia-Pacific routes identified by the
Premium Netlabel. These optimized lines are available in three regions:- Malaysia: Features China Telecom GIA and China Unicom 9929 return routes. Recommended for Telecom and Unicom users; China Mobile users may experience higher latency/packet loss due to CMI return routes.
- Hong Kong: Features GIA return routes, though it may route through Singapore, resulting in slightly higher latency than Malaysia. Generally cheaper with more traffic.
- Japan (Osaka): Uses Softbank lines, with the lowest latency typically observed for China Telecom and China Mobile users.
Warning: Only purchase instances with the
Premium Netlabel. Standard instances without this label use non-optimized routes and are not recommended despite having double the traffic.Overview of Cloudflare for SaaS for CNAME CDN Access
Cloudflare for SaaS allows developers to connect domains hosted on other DNS providers to the Cloudflare CDN via CNAME. This setup is particularly useful for:
- Intelligent Traffic Splitting: Using a DNS provider that supports line-based routing to direct domestic traffic to optimized lines and international traffic to Cloudflare CDN.
- Bypassing Restricted IPs: Avoiding Cloudflare's default
.1ending IPs that are often blocked in certain regions by using optimized IP selection (though this may violate ToS).
Key concepts:
- Main Domain: The business domain used for public access (must be hosted outside Cloudflare to avoid errors).
- Fallback Domain (SaaS Domain): A domain hosted on Cloudflare used for origin routing (can be a free or low-cost domain).
Overview of Wallos subscription management
Wallos is a self-hosted application designed to centralize the management of software subscriptions and memberships. It allows users to track payment cycles, amounts, and expiration dates to avoid unexpected automatic renewals. Key features include:
- Customization: User-defined categories, currencies, payment methods, and themes.
- Notifications: Support for Email, Discord, Telegram, and Webhooks.
- Data Privacy: All financial data is stored locally.
- Multi-currency Support: Ability to assign different currencies to different subscriptions with automatic conversion to a primary currency using external APIs.
Overview of Nezha Monitoring (哪吒探针)
Nezha Monitoring is an open-source, lightweight server monitoring and operation tool. It features one-click installation for both the panel and agents, and supports multiple operating systems including Linux, Windows, MacOS, OpenWrt, and Synology. It is capable of real-time monitoring for multiple servers simultaneously.Overview of MyNodeQuery for VPS Network Monitoring
MyNodeQuery is a lightweight monitoring probe designed as an alternative to NodeQuery. It allows users to monitor VPS network status and performance, specifically supporting features such as node offline notifications, node sorting, custom Ping nodes, and network speed/traffic reporting.Overview of VitePress Theme Minimalism
VitePress Theme Minimalism is a blog theme built upon the default VitePress theme. It extends the default functionality by adding a landing page, article lists, article pages, and support for categories, tags, and archives. It is designed to be fully compatible with the default theme's documentation mode (including Sidebars), ensuring that blog posts and documentation pages do not interfere with each other.Overview of NVIDIA P106-100 hardware limitations
The P106-100 is a mining-specific GPU based on the GTX 1060 core. It is significantly cheaper than consumer cards but has several critical hardware constraints: it lacks display outputs, lacks hardware encoders/decoders, and is limited to PCIe 1.1 x16 speeds. Because it has no output, it must be used in conjunction with an integrated GPU (iGPU) to output the display, which may introduce slight latency.Overview of Sink URL Shortener
Sink is a free, open-source URL shortener that can be deployed without a dedicated server using Cloudflare Workers or Pages. Key features include support for custom slugs, expiration dates, and integration with Cloudflare's Analytics Engine for link statistics.Overview of Beszel monitoring tool
Beszel is a lightweight monitoring probe designed to record historical system and Docker data for VPS and NAS devices. Unlike real-time monitors, Beszel focuses on historical data retention (defaulting to 30 days) and supports multi-user access. It uses a Hub-and-Agent architecture where both components are deployed via Docker. Note that the monitored machine (Agent) must have a public IP or be on the same internal network as the Hub, as the Hub connects to the Agent's open port to collect data.Overview of BandwagonHost E-Commerce VPS Dubai (AEDXB_1)
The AEDXB_1 data center in Dubai, UAE, is a rare Middle East VPS option suitable for foreign trade, cross-border e-commerce, independent stations, and TikTok operations. Note that for users in mainland China, traffic from all three major carriers routes through Europe, resulting in high latency. To reduce latency, it is recommended to use optimized relay lines via Hong Kong (HK) or Singapore (SG).Overview of frp for Intranet Penetration
frp is a high-performance reverse proxy application focused on intranet penetration. It allows internal services to be exposed to the public internet via a relay node with a public IP address. It supports TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and P2P communication. Unlike VPN-like tools (e.g., Tailscale, ZeroTier), frp makes services publicly accessible to everyone.
