First Hands-on Experience with Docker 1.12 Swarm Mode

• 04 JANUARY, 2016

Recently, Docker released the official version 1.12, introducing several new features, including the official version of Docker Native. One significant update is the addition of Swarm Mode, providing native cluster support. I tried it as soon as possible and am writing this blog post to record my experience. It’s important to note that despite the similar names, Swarm Mode and Docker Swarm are not the same thing and are not seamlessly compatible. Their main differences are:

Hybrid Properties and Methods in SQLAlchemy: hybrid_property and hybrid_method

• 06 JANUARY, 2016

SQLAlchemy provides many ORM functionality extensions in its sqlalchemy.ext library. Today, we’re going to introduce the very powerful Hybrid Attributes feature.

This article’s code examples use Flask-SQLAlchemy for illustration. The differences with native SQLAlchemy are minor, mainly:

• db.Model is roughly equivalent to sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.declarative_base
• Model.query is roughly equivalent to db.session.query(Model)

Inheritance in SQLAlchemy

• 02 JANUARY, 2016

SQLAlchemy is one of the commonly used ORMs in Python. Although it has a steeper learning curve compared to other ORMs like Django ORM or Peewee, it offers a wealth of advanced and flexible features. This article will discuss model inheritance.

Setting Up a Self-Hosted Github-Pages Environment Using docker-compose

• 27 JANUARY, 2016

When starting a new blog, I tried github-pages, which is quite convenient, but there are a few limitations, such as restricted plugins, lack of support for custom domains and HTTPS, etc. Having a spare server, I decided to set up my own, as a learning experience.

Rescuing a Bricked R6250 with Merlin Firmware and Reverting to Stock

• 25 JANUARY, 2016

A few days ago, I bought a Netgear R6250 router. Its 5G performance and coverage were quite impressive. After enjoying it for a few days, I couldn’t resist tinkering and flashed it with Merlin firmware[^netgear-merlin], and then, unfortunately… it bricked. It would start up with a blinking yellow light and automatically enter tftp mode, but transferring firmware via tftp had no effect, and pinging it always returned a ttl of 100 (a ttl=100 for a router indicates recovery mode, ttl=64 indicates normal operation). I’ve tinkered with quite a few routers, but this was the first time I bricked one. After scouring through forums, it seemed that using a tty was the only solution. After flashing, I realized its features were incredibly powerful, but its stability was not reliable. My mother had quite a few complaints, so I decided to revert to the original firmware, which turned out to be another challenge. I’m recording my experience here, hoping to help others in the future.
