title: 'CRDT - Conflict Free Replicated Data Types'

# Background
When searching techniques for syncing data between peers, I stumbled upon CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types). It's basically a algorithm for syncing for distributed systems. CRDT ensures all data changes between peer will be synced with correct order and no data loss.
Since I working with Dart (for Flutter project), I use a [CRDT library for Dart](https://github.com/cachapa/crdt). This library implements core concept of CRDT and it's pretty basic. Here some types of CRDT that often used:
1. **G-Counter (Grow-only Counter)**: A counter that can only be incremented.
2. **P-Counter (Decrement Counter)**: A counter that can be both incremented and decremented.
3. **G-Set (Grow-only Set)**: A set that only allows elements to be added.
4. **2P-Set (Two-Phase Set)**: A set that allows elements to be added and removed, maintaining two sets (one for additions and one for removals).
5. **OR-Set (Observed Remove Set)**: A set that allows elements to be added and removed, using unique identifiers to track additions and removals.
6. **LWW-Register (Last Write Wins Register)**: A register that stores the last written value, using a timestamp to determine the most recent update.
7. **MV-Register (Multi-Value Register)**: A register that stores all values that have been written, using unique identifiers to track writes.
# How it works -- basic version
Main components:
- HLC (Hardware Logical Clock). Combines _wall clock/local time_, a counter that increments, and an optional _node ID_ for uniqueness sake.
- The data itself (usually contains a key, value, and the HLC object).
## **Scenario: Two Devices Synchronizing Data**
We have two devices, **Device A** and **Device B**, which both maintain their own local datasets. Each device can modify data independently. When they synchronize, their CRDT implementations will merge their changes and resolve conflicts.
## Initial State
- Both devices start with the same data:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice | false | HLC: A1 |
| 2 | Bob | false | HLC: A2 |
- Device A's last modified HLC: `A2`.
- Device B's last modified HLC: `A2`.
---
## Changes Made on Each Device
1. **Device A deletes Bob's record (key 2):**
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 2 | null | true | HLC: A3 |
2. **Device B updates Alice's name to Alice Smith (key 1):**
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice Smith | false | HLC: B3 |
---
## Synchronization and Merge
- Device A sends its **changeset** to Device B:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 2 | null | true | HLC: A3 |
- Device B sends its **changeset** to Device A:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice Smith | false | HLC: B3 |
---
## Step-by-Step Conflict Resolution
The `merge` method processes these changes:
1. **Validate Changeset**:
Each incoming record is validated to ensure it matches the expected schema and contains valid HLC timestamps.
2. **Compare Records for Key 1 (`Alice`)**:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice | false | HLC: A1 |
Incoming record from Device B:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice Smith | false | HLC: B3 |
**Conflict Resolution Rule**: The record with the higher `Last Modified` HLC wins. HLC `B3 > A1,` so Device A updates Alice's record to:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice Smith | false | HLC: B3 |
3. **Compare Records for Key 2 (`Bob`)**:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 2 | Bob | false | HLC: A2 |
Incoming record from Device A:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 2 | null | true | HLC: A3 |
**Conflict Resolution Rule**: The record with the higher `Last Modified` HLC wins. HLC `A3 > A2`, so Device B updates Bob's record to:
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 2 | null | true | HLC: A3 |
4. **Propagate Changes**:
Both devices now have identical datasets after merging.
---
## Final Merged Dataset on Both Devices
| Key | Value | isDeleted | Last Modified |
| --- | ----- | --------- | ------------- |
| 1 | Alice Smith | false | HLC: B3 |
| 2 | null | true | HLC: A3 |
---
## Summary of Conflict Resolution Rules
1. **Higher HLC Wins**
Records with higher HLCs (later timestamps) overwrite those with lower HLCs.
2. **Soft Deletes**
A `null` value with `isDeleted: true` is treated as a soft delete. It wins if its HLC is higher.
3. **Deterministic Behavior**
All nodes independently apply the same conflict resolution logic, ensuring eventual consistency.

title: 'Fix ADB Insufficient Permission'
description: 'udev rules for fixing ADB Insufficient permission in Linux'
date: 2025-02-24T11:29:30+07:00
draft: false
tags:

- adb
- linux
---
# Why need this?
Connecting an Android device to a Linux computer could has problem with permission. Listing devices with `adb devices` might show `unauthorized` status or `insufficient permission` error message.
```bash
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
15241JEC211677 device
RR2M9002AHY unauthorized
```
This happens because by default, in Linux, when you connect an Android device via USB, the system assigns it to the `root` user and a restrictive permission mode (often 0600), meaning that regular users cannot access it.
# How to fix
1. Check `vendor id` and `device id` from connected Android device with `lsusb`.
```bash
$ lsusb
...some other devices
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 18d1:4ee7 Google Inc. Nexus/Pixel Device
```
`18d1` is *vendor id* and `4ee7` is the *product id*.
2. Create an `udev` rule for this device, I create mine in `/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules`.
```bash
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4ee7", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="google_pixel_4a_%n"
```
- `SUBSYSTEM=="usb"` ensures the rule applies only to USB devices.
- `ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1" and ATTRS{idProduct}=="4ee7"` match the Google Pixel USB devices by their vendor and product IDs.
- `MODE="0666"` sets the device's permission mode to 0666, meaning read/write access for all users.
- `GROUP="plugdev"` assigns the device to the plugdev group, which allows users in that group to access it.
- `SYMLINK+="google_pixel_4a_%n"` creates a symlink (shortcut) under /dev/ with a readable name for easier identification.
3. Reconnect the device to make sure the rule is correct. If not, try to reload `udev` rules and restart it.
```bash
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
```

title: 'Fix Infinix Air Pro+ Quad Speakers in Linux'

I installed Linux ([EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/)) in my Infinix Air Pro+ last week and noticed that the sound coming from the speakers was bad. This laptops has 4 speakers, hence only 2 of them are working. This is how I fix this issue.
# Check ALSA for Hidden Speakers

```
Looking at that output, it seems that this laptop has several nodes that could be an audio output. They are nodes with `Stereo Amp-In Amp-Out` in it's description. Filtering the result with that, I got:
- 0x14 - Stereo Amp-Out (I suspect this is the front speakers that are working)
- 0x15 - Stereo Amp-Out (likely another speakers?)
- 0x18, 0x19, 0x1a, 0x1b - Stereo Amp-In Amp-Out (might be extra speaker outputs)
# Enable Additional Speakers with `hdajackretask`
`hdajackretask` is a tool from ALSA that allow us to remap/retask those nodes/jack into different purposes.
```bash
$ sudo pacman -S alsa-tools
$ sudo hdajackretask
```
After opening the tool, check the `Show unconnected pins` and there will be list of nodes that can be retasked.
I need to experiment with this remapping. After trials and errors, I found that `0x1a` and `0x1b` is the responsible nodes for my extra speakers. Overriding them and changing their role as `Internal Speaker` solve my issue.

Now all my speakers is working! I hope this will help someone in the future.

title: 'Fix Infinix Air Pro+ Screen Color'
description: 'Fixing Infinix Air Pro+ washed out screen color in Windows and Linux'
date: 2025-02-21T18:09:54+07:00
draft: false
tags:

- infinix
- tweak
- script
---
I have Infinix Air Pro+ and I use it for my work. I can say it is a good laptop coding mainly because it has 2.5k OLED 16:10 screen. But I found a problem with its screen color. When the screen brightness is below about 50% and the screen turned off (to save power, not necessarily going system sleep/suspend) and turns back on, the color looks washed out.
First time I noticed this issue is because I was using a pitch black wallpaper image (so I can flex my OLED display). After my screen turns back on, my wallpaper's black color becomes grainy, washed out, as its doesn't have pitch black color anymore. Then I noticed, the color will be fixed after I crank the brightness to above 50%. Turning the brightness down again after this still gives me correct black level.
So, I was wondering if I create a script that will turn the brightness to above 50% and restore it to where it was every time my screen is waking up from a sleep. With a help from Google and ChatGPT, I create these scripts as a workaround for this annoying issue.
# Windows
Before continuing, I'm sorry I can't give any screenshot for this Windows section because I already switched to Linux, but I hope I can write it clearly.
## Get screen wake up event
I need to listen to an event that tells me "Hey, the screen is turning on". Fortunately, Windows has [Event Viewer](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/inside/event-viewer) that I can use for this. I found that an event from *Kernel-Power* with event ID *507* is the correct event that means the screen in turned back on.
## Script
Next thing to do is create the script to control screen brightness. After trial and error, I found [NirCmd](https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) can help me to change my screen brightness. Then I create this Powershell script.
```powershell
# Infinix Air Pro Plus suffers from washed out colors
# after the display goes off and back on if the brightness is below 50%.
# This script will increase the brightness to 60% when initial brightness
# is below 50% else it will increase 10% from current brightness and turn
# back to initial brightness value.
# Path to NirCmd executable
$nircmd = "C:\nircmd-x64\nircmd.exe"
# Function to temporarily adjust brightness
function Adjust-Brightness {
param (
[int]$InitialBrightness,
[int]$TargetBrightness
)
# Set brightness to target
& $nircmd "setbrightness" $TargetBrightness
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
# Restore to initial brightness
& $nircmd "setbrightness" $InitialBrightness
}
# Dummy current brightness (replace this with actual detection logic if available)
$currentBrightness = (Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName WmiMonitorBrightness).CurrentBrightness
if ($currentBrightness -lt 50) {
# If brightness is below 50%, temporarily set to 60
Adjust-Brightness -InitialBrightness $currentBrightness -TargetBrightness 60
} else {
# Otherwise, increase brightness by 10%
$newBrightness = [Math]::Min($currentBrightness + 10, 100)
Adjust-Brightness -InitialBrightness $currentBrightness -TargetBrightness $newBrightness
}
```
## Make a schedule
I use Windows' [Task Scheduler](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-automated-tasks-windows-11) to run the script each time *Kernel-Power* with event ID *507* occurs. I can't show the step-by-step guide because I'm on Linux now, but I have a backup file for this task. All you need is just to import [this task](/misc/Restore%20OLED%20Colors.xml) in Task Scheduler.
> Note: You have to change the command it executes to where you save the Powershell script. Also change the author into `YOUR_PC_NAME\YOUR_USERNAME`.
# Linux
I'm using [EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/) which use `systemd`. So this guide is applicable to `systemd` init system only. If your linux use something else, you need to adjust it with your init system.
## Get screen wake up event
I already tried several ways to listen the screen wake up events. But I can't find any using `acpi` and `udev`. So I tried different approach. I check `dpms` property from screen device in `/sys/class/drm/card1-eDP-1/dpms`. It has `On` and `Off` value that I can use for triggering a script to fix the color.
## Script
I have 2 scripts for this approach. One for checking `/sys/class/drm/card1-eDP-1/dpms` value and another one for fixing the color.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# monitor /sys/class/drm/card1-eDP-1/dpms value
# place it to /usr/local/bin/monitor_screen_power.sh
prev_state=""
while true; do
state=$(cat /sys/class/drm/card1-eDP-1/dpms)
if [[ "$state" != "$prev_state" && "$state" == "On" ]]; then
echo "Screen turned on! Running script..."
/usr/local/bin/brightness_fix.sh
fi
prev_state=$state
sleep 1 # Adjust polling interval as needed
done
```
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# adjust the brightness
# place it to /usr/local/bin/brightness_fix.sh
# Path to brightness control (may vary based on hardware, check /sys/class/backlight/)
BRIGHTNESS_PATH="/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness"
MAX_BRIGHTNESS_PATH="/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness"
# Read current brightness
CURRENT_BRIGHTNESS=$(cat "$BRIGHTNESS_PATH")
MAX_BRIGHTNESS=$(cat "$MAX_BRIGHTNESS_PATH")
# Convert brightness levels to percentage
CURRENT_PERCENT=$(( CURRENT_BRIGHTNESS * 100 / MAX_BRIGHTNESS ))
# Function to set brightness based on percentage
set_brightness() {
local TARGET_PERCENT=$1
local TARGET_BRIGHTNESS=$(( TARGET_PERCENT * MAX_BRIGHTNESS / 100 ))
echo $TARGET_BRIGHTNESS | sudo tee "$BRIGHTNESS_PATH" > /dev/null
}
# Adjust brightness logic
if [ "$CURRENT_PERCENT" -lt 50 ]; then
set_brightness 60
sleep 0.5
set_brightness "$CURRENT_PERCENT"
else
TARGET_PERCENT=$(( CURRENT_PERCENT + 10 ))
if [ "$TARGET_PERCENT" -gt 100 ]; then
TARGET_PERCENT=100
fi
set_brightness "$TARGET_PERCENT"
sleep 0.5
set_brightness "$CURRENT_PERCENT"
fi
```
## Make a systemd service
Make a `systemd` service in `/etc/systemd/system/brightness-fix.service` to run the first script.
```plaintext
[Unit]
Description=Fix screen brightness on wake
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/monitor_screen_power.sh
Restart=always
User=dhemas
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
and another one to run `brightness-fix.sh` after waking up from suspend/sleep, I put it in `/etc/systemd/system/brightness-fix-wakeup.service`.
```plaintext
[Unit]
Description=Fix screen brightness after wakeup
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/brightness_fix.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
```
Then register, enable, and start it.
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable brightness-fix.service
sudo systemctl enable brightness-fix-wakeup.service
sudo systemctl start brightness-fix.service
```
One more thing, you can add also `/usr/local/bin/brightness_fix.sh` to autostart (I'm using KDE) so it will run each time you login.

When I create a new Flutter project targeting Android device, I can't choose which Android device to run it. Either it a real connected devices or AVDs, even the devices is available and listed in `Device Manager` tab.
![no devices showing](/images/no-devices.webp)
All I need to do is open `File > Project Structure...` or `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S`.
![project structure window](/images/project-structure.webp)
As you can see, I have no Android SDK selected for my Flutter project. So, go ahead and select one of SDK listed there and click `OK`. That's it! Now you can see all the devices available to run my Flutter project.
![choose android sdk](/images/choose-sdk.webp)
Hope this can help someone who has similar issues with Flutter project and Android devices.

title: 'Kuwot'
description: 'Flutter Daily Quote App'
date: 2025-02-20T15:26:04+07:00
draft: true
tags:
- programming
- flutter
---
I made [Kuwot](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dhemasnurjaya.kuwot) last year in my spare time. I want to share it, you can use it as an inspiration, practice app, or something else is up to you since I open-sourced the code (links below).
# Introduction
The Flutter app itself was built using [Clean Architecture]({{< ref "/posts/flutter-clean-architecture/index.md" >}}). It has all basic features from a daily quote application. At first, my idea is to make a simple daily quote application. Showing random quote everytime the app is opened, and give it an image background to make it more appealing.
# Hunting for quote data
First thing I did was searching some kind of quote data that available for free. I stumbled across several choices:
- Use available quote API, eg: [Zen Quotes](https://zenquotes.io)
- Scraping quotes website
- Find dataset that already compiled somewhere in [Github](https://github.com)
After many consideration, I'd like to use this [Quotes 500k](https://github.com/ShivaliGoel/Quotes-500K) as my quote data source. Originally, that quote data was used for a research paper and made by scraping several quote websites.
First problem solved, since I have the quote dataset I was thinking whether I embed this dataset as SQLite database into the app or do something else. But then I remember that I still need to get the background image for the app and it will make no sense to embed the background images into the app as well. So I decided to create a simple REST API for Kuwot.
# Building the API
Now I need a simple, easy to make REST API. I was thinking to use Python's [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) but after some onboarding tutorial, I just don't like it. Then I found [dart_frog](https://dartfrog.vgv.dev/)! It's a minimalist backend framework written in Dart. There are no reason to not use this since it use same language as my Flutter app, that was I thought.
Building the API is straight-forward, [dart_frog](https://dartfrog.vgv.dev/) has everything I need to build the API.
# Reshaping dataset
The data I got from [Quotes 500k](https://github.com/ShivaliGoel/Quotes-500K) is looking like this:
| Quote | Author | Tags |
| ----- | ------ | ---- |
| A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you. | Elbert Hubbard | friend, friendship, knowledge, love |
Now, I didn't want the tags and I don't want a long quote. So I make a Python script to filter those quotes into a new dataset I need.
```python
```
# UI Design
I want to make it as simple as possible while focusing on the functionality.

title: 'Remap Infinix Air Pro+ Copilot Key in Linux'

> Since I'm moving to Linux, my Copilot key becomes useless.
Let me rephrase that! Even when I was using Windows, I never using this Copilot shortcut key in my keyboard 😬. Fortunately, using Linux I can remap this key for something else ~~more useful~~.
# Requirements
- A laptop (I'm using Infinix Air Pro+) with a working keyboard.
- [keyd](https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd)
# Finding what this Copilot key do
- Open your favorite terminal and execute `sudo keyd monitor`. This command will print what events are triggered when a particular key is pressed.
- Press the Copilot key and read the output. In my laptop, it print out this:
```bash
AT Translated Set 2 keyboard 0001:0001:70533846 leftmeta down
AT Translated Set 2 keyboard 0001:0001:70533846 leftshift down
AT Translated Set 2 keyboard 0001:0001:70533846 f23 down
```
- Now I know that my copilot key triggers `leftmeta`, `leftshift`, and `f23`. It's seem legit combination of modifier keys and a function key. But unfortunately when I tried to use it in my desktop environment (I use KDE) to bind a shortcut, it only detect the modifier `meta` and `shift`.
# `keyd` for the rescue
Edit `/etc/keyd/default.conf` file and I added these lines:
```plaintext
[ids]
0001:0001:70533846
[main]
f23 = f13
```
`ids` is my keyboad ID, and the last line tells to remap `f23` key to `f13` (which is doesn't exist physically). Then reload `keyd` with `sudo keyd reload`. Now I can bind my Copilot key to something else. I'm using it for [yakuake](https://github.com/KDE/yakuake) show/hide toggle.

Hi there! I'm Dhemas, an Indonesian software engineer. I grew up in a small town called Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia. I really like to tinker with computer since I was a child. Playing games (SkiFree to Age of Empires II) in my dad's office computer, then learn some office softwares, buying a floppy disk to save my diary (encrypted with Webdings font!), buying PC magazines, leads to learn how to assemble my own computer and do an OS install. That was a good time!
Long story short, I decide to take an Information Technology major in my local university then got accepted in my first company right after graduated, working as a mobile application developer. Since then, it is already 7 years I work as a software developer and now I'm a part of a software house startup company.
I never really write anything in my 7 years journey and I feel kinda regretted it. So I decide to create this blog, where I can write anything I found interesting. Maybe it's a coding-related thing, technology heads up, or maybe just my random thought. Feel free read and share!
# Bonus
This is a cat from my work, maybe someday she can be a good software tester to find ~~mice~~ bugs from my code.
