Fail to fall asleep after dinner. Got up at 11 to watch football games and fried some Qiqihar beef with the air fryer. At 12, had one bowl of burning noodles. Well, that was another night eating too much, and would be the last one. The two matches that started at half past 12 were no longer suspenseful soon, so I took a bath instead. I was quite sleepy at 3, so I went to bed and watched Milan's game, but ended up sleeping through most of it. Had slept until 9 and missed the breakfast. Then went to study room. I was still drowsy so did nothing but sleeping. After lunch, went to study room without playing FIFA. Practiced English firstly, and then attempted to rewrite the terraform configuration files to create a EC2 instance with wireguard and docker installed in a cloudinit fashion. But the script provided for the user_data didn't run as expected. So I gave up and did the installation and configuration manually. I installed wireguard and docker, created configuration files for them and started them. Then my personal VPN was back online. For the rest of this week, I will try to find the solution to expose some VPN clients as SOCKS5 service. Then why use ExpressVPN, whose biggest advantage is that it can be used in China? Now it's not very stable, and my EC2 instance is located in Japan, so any vpn client can run in terminal and provide SOCKS5 port would be sufficient. Played RingFit at 3 and then did some job hunting. Read books until half past 5. Completed 8 pomodoroes in total - one each for English, exercise and job search, two for reading and three for research. I didn't calculate, but I believe I completed an average of 9 pomodoroes per day in the last two weeks. I will make a week goal: 50 pomodoroes, or 10 per day. More is not necessarily better; completing 50 exactly would be perfect. Wrote journal then, thank god ExpressVPN works now.
