Last July and August, I interned at the enforcement bureau of the court, and this time, for my graduation internship, I am returning to the same bureau.
I don’t know how I managed to get through that time; looking back now, it feels like a completely different world.
This graduation internship has been postponed repeatedly and finally started on November 9th, with the end date set for mid-January next year.
If it weren’t for Mtime’s inaccessibility a few days ago, I wouldn’t have known that the relevant authorities have discovered a more convenient method than pulling the network cables in the server room: notifying domestic domain registrars to “clientHold (domain name suspension of resolution)” the domain names.
clientHold is the simplest means for registrars to disable a domain name. Since the beginning of this year, there have been multiple incidents where well-known domestic websites were “clientHold” by domain registrars.

After waiting for so long, today has finally arrived. I’ve dreamed for so long, yet the dream remains elusive.
I started school in 1993, in what the village called a pre-school class, which lasted only one year. After completing it, I officially became a primary school student.
Memories from that ancient time are vague, but I recall my parents mentioning that I often sat with my back to the teacher and frequently stepped on others’ desks. Despite this, my academic performance was decent, and in the second year, I successfully passed the entrance exam to move from the village school to a town school.
I have asked myself more than once: Why do you write a blog?
But each time, I couldn’t find a clear answer. Recently, this blog has been updated very infrequently, to be precise, since late August until now, for about 50 days. With fewer updates, naturally, the traffic has also decreased, with only about 10 IPs per day, a stark contrast to the 300-400 IPs per day at the end of last year.
With the judicial exam now over, I thought I would finally be free, regardless of the outcome, as I wouldn’t be spending a significant amount of time preparing for it anymore.
However, the crux of the matter lies here. I expected to feel liberated, but the pressures and worries about my future continue to besiege me. At this critical juncture, I find myself at a crossroads, needing to make a decision between a clear path and many uncertain ones.
I never paid much attention to DNS resolution settings (mainly in terms of resolution speed). Initially, I used the NS servers provided by the domain registrar, but I felt there were too many restrictions. So, for a long time, I used Namecheap’s free NS resolution service. Even after registering domains with GoDaddy, I maintained the same practice: the first thing I did after registering a domain was to change the NS to something like freedns.namecheap.com.
Finally, the judicial exam is over, and now I feel somewhat unaccustomed to it, unaccustomed to the days of pressure, goals, and motivation. Although the results always leave one with regrets, at least this year’s judicial exam has been quite beneficial for me personally.
This year, the number of applicants for the judicial exam is estimated to surpass last year’s record high, as it is said that the pass rate will continue to increase, making the judicial exam a mere ordinary entry-level test. With 600 points in total, scoring 360 points is equivalent to obtaining a pass into the public security, procuratorial, and legal professions. Compared to the pass rates of 5% or even lower in other countries, China’s judicial exam is practically a direct giveaway. Unfortunately, I was not among those who passed…
