Had played FIFA until half past 7, then fell asleep soon. Woke up at half past 11 and got up one hour later to eat one bowl of Yunan rice noodles. It was delicious with great soup that hit the spot, the only problem was too expensive, more than 20 yuan per pack. With no matches to watch, I headed to study room to search for solutions to expose ExpressVPN as SOCK5 service. I initially thought there would be free VPN I can use on EC2 instance, but soon I realized it was not practical. I found a docker image built on ExpressVPN that could route traffic from other containers through the VPN container. Sounded perfect. With some free time on my hands, I went back to bed to play Civilization. Got up at 5 to do the running exercise, then played Civilization until 9. In the middle, I had breakfast and played piano. After went to study room, I felt quite sleepy so just took a nap until lunch. Afterwards, went to study room to practice English. Then continued my research. However, my EC2 instance suddenly was not able to connect to my ECS instance though wireguard. It could send out data but get no response. Despite trying for a while, then I decided to use Tailscale instead to build the connection. It worked out well. Then setup containers as I had found in the morning. But there were problems. The proxy simply cannot work, and it was not easy to check whether Shadowsocksr server and client were functioning or not. After spending almost entire afternoon working on it, it still didn't work. Played Fitness Boxing around 3. So completed 13 pomodoroes in total - one each for piano and English, two for exercise and nine for research. Wouldn't spend so much time on that. It was almost 6 so I had to give up and write journal.
