Tor’s Bridge, if widely disseminated, may get blocked within a few days, so frequently changing it can be a hassle (this reminds me of the days when I modified the hosts file to access Google). Today, I tinkered a bit and built a Tor Bridge on my VPS for personal use. Additionally, I extracted tor from the Tor Browser so that it doesn’t rely on the Tor Browser and can be used with other browsers.
Warning: Deploying a Bridge may increase the probability of the server being blocked.

In some SDK integrations, some platforms provide only the DLL without an import library for us to use. In this case, we can only use code to load the DLL to call functions within it. This article documents two usage methods and analyzes their pros and cons.

不知为何，UE API现在已经不随引擎发布chm的离线文档了，官方发布的最新版本还是2014年的，UE发展到现在有了很多变化，显然四年前的API文档已经丧失部分参考价值了。但是UE文档站自身的搜索功能就我的体验而言，十分的烂。
所以折腾了一下把UE API的所有页面爬了下来，并且生成了Dash支持的文档，检索起来十分酸爽。(文后附下载链接)

2022.06.07更新：把API文档更新至UE 5.0.2，可在文末下载。。

Recently, I thought about a Raspberry Pi gathering dust, so today I experimented with frp for internal network penetration, allowing my Raspberry Pi at home to be accessed via the Internet.

Some technical notes written in the daily cursive about UE4 and VR development, as well as some related materials. Previously scattered in imzlp.com/notes, they have been organized today, and future notes will be placed in this article.

Because Unreal Engine destroys all objects in the current level when switching levels (OpenLevel), we often need to retain certain objects for the next level. Today, I read some relevant code, and this article will explain how to achieve this. Unreal’s documentation does mention this (Travelling in Multiplayer), and it’s not too complicated to implement. However, the UE documentation is consistently lacking in detail, especially in Chinese, where resources are very scarce (mostly machine-translated and outdated). I couldn’t find any reliable information during my search, so I took some notes while reading the code implementation.

Recently, I have been using Protobuf in VS, and I will briefly record the process of building Protobuf using MSVC.

Due to Github Pages not supporting custom domain HTTPS, I spent some time today setting up a reverse proxy from Nginx to Github Pages on a VPS. I used a certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt to achieve full HTTPS for the entire site (all external resource links were also changed to HTTPS). Here’s a simple record of the process.

C++ provides two logical operators || and && as well as the , (comma) operator in its basic syntax. We can overload these operators in a class, but we should avoid doing that. In this article, I will outline the standard descriptions and the reasons why they should not be overloaded.

In summary, because the built-in || and && have short-circuit evaluation semantics, overloading them turns them into regular function calls, yielding semantics that are entirely different from the built-in || and &&. Furthermore, the , operator has left-to-right evaluation semantics, so if you overload it, it will also become a function call and result in semantics that differ from the built-in version.

This article mainly summarizes my insights during the learning process of template metaprogramming, and I will also include some template metaprogramming code I have written here.
