Linux socket in C and Java

    Finally, I found good reason to practice on Java. First, start with Linux network socket. 

    I'm using Windows OS, so I setup AWS EC2:AMI to be the developing VM. Installing development tools is required:

For C: sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
For Java: sudo yum install java-devel

    I worked on Linux socket in my early IT career path. I love cloud computing and admire its greatness. Does it mean I adore technology more than humanity? No. Both are fair. How about thinking in this way: 

Technology paves the way to listen to everyone who has access to it. No matter you're rich or poor, old or young, brilliant or stupid. 

    IT doesn't make decisions; the people behind IT do. If the administrator decides to silence/filler out  certain information or opinions, it’s nothing different from you sending inquiry to the court, petitions to the government, complaints to customer services, even the advice to your parents/children. But to developers, we need data and suggestions from who needs help but not yet be taken care of. Developers don't want to create things that no one wants and never see the daylight. IT is not only technology. Especially cloud computing, IT is an accumulation of all involved, including humanity and opinions from the general public.

    Back to socket. The workflow in C is almost identical to Java, except Java only use one line to setup a socket! 
    Here is the C version on setup server side. Server need to bind a port for listen()

    For the client side, setting the server information and then connect to it.

    I wrote Java is almost the same way, except using while loop to extend the communication. 
    On the server side

  
    On the client side, I picked the setup of I/O. Java takes I/O seriously, if asking my opinion to Java. I like Java because it introduced try/catch first. It's very useful for debugging. I like C style more because C has access to memory. It's not safe, I knew. But it is easier to redesign data as meta or image. (and also easy to be messed up... unfortunately. It might be why Java is attractive to me.)




    Why I mentioned Linux socket is easy, there is the comparison:


    You need to create an interface and a class as a library. Then a host to create the service. And then search local hosting service to add to client's reference, and external application svcutil.exe to create the base information for your client application. The client is using a class (here is named CalculatorClient) you  have never named it but the application merci you a name....

    Wrap up for now. See you next time~

Bookmark service (MongoDB & Spring REST) -2/2

    I accidentally deleted my development VM. I got lucky having the habit of taking notes. This blog is useful. Development VM is doom to be lost. Rebuild it waste time, but having a clean slate is refreshing~. What concerns me more is my AWS free quota this month is reaching 85%. The second VM I launched but never being used might be the one to blame. (Of course, my mistake.) I terminated the wrong VM. Now I got Linux 2 built. Great, just threw away everything happened on AMI.  1st layer: Page Page class   Originally, I need to prepare getter/setter for all class properties for Spring. By using lombok, I only need to create constructors. lombok will deal with getter/setter and toString(). But there are chances to call getter/setter, but how? .......Naming convention.... Capitalize the 1st character with the prefix get/set.  Annotation @Data was used on this class.  Repository class Spring Docs: Repository https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/3....

Guide to Preserving HuggingFace Models in Google Colab Environments

Conclusion:  Step 1:  find the model path: ls ~/.cache  Step 2:  Copy the entire folder to Google Drive:  Step 3:  Set model path to the subfolder under snapshot: My Story: I initially began exploring Generative AI (GAI) and Google Colab through Stable Diffusion. In the past, as I mainly wrote server services and console applications, I was less familiar with data science modes like R and Jupyter that can maintain a paused state. I didn't quite understand the heavy burden on Colab of creating a temporary Stable Diffusion WebUI with .ipynb, as suggested by popular guides. I just found it troublesome that connections often took a long time and then dropped, requiring a restart. Recently, while testing new versions of the Stable Diffusion model, and facing challenges due to Colab's policies making various versions of WebUI difficult to run successfully, I started researching how to write my own test programs in Colab. Eventually, I understood that Colab is ess...

Setup Maven and two basic projects

    The interesting implementation of Java I proceed to is Spring. And, only getting Java running is not enough. I also need to set up Maven. This name is new to me, and I found many Spring tutorials just skip this part. At least I need Maven to generate templates for me. I should learn it more. ( I knew there is a great tool -- Eclipse -- can make tedious things disappear. I’m taking a strategy to install all experiments I want to try and throw away when it's full. And that's an external VM, not my PC. I, not yet, want to do research about installing Eclipse on AMI. )    Upgrade to Java 8     First is to upgrade Java on AMI to Java8. AWS provides advanced tools for Linux 2. And DIY for Linux2. At least there are solutions for my choice.  Amazon Corretto 8 Installation Instructions for Amazon Linux 2 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/amazon-linux-install.html Here are commands I used: >wget */amazon-corretto-8-x64-linux-jdk.d...
