Made this photo a few days ago. I think it's very pretty.
Made with an iPod as I was walking down this path. Happy Autumn!

Will Internet Surveillance in Germany decelerate our Internet?
October 21st, 2016
Germany is already behind many other countries in Europe and elsewhere
(like South Korea), in terms of Internet speeds. Recently the BND
was given powers (german) to
surveill our Internet. I'm wondering if the surveillance will decelerate
our Internet from progressing into something fit for the 21st century.
South Korea is working on 10 Gbit/s speeds for everyone already. We're just
at 50 Mbit/s if we're lucky. I still have 16 Mbit/s. With every speed
upgrade at an ISP the BND will have to conform their spy equipment to similar
standards which is a burden on the taxpayer. I fear the pandoras box has been
opened.

Delphinusdnsd name approaches 2 years old
October 20th, 2016
On November 14th, 2014 I forked delphinusdnsd from wildcarddnsd. It was a namechange to
indicate a new direction in programming, namely DNSSEC. I'd like to sum up
the milestones it got since then:
- dd-convert.rb a ruby script to sign zonefiles
- a semi decent working dnssec stack
Currently and this year I'm working on a replacement for dd-convert.rb to make
the project full C source again. And I'm getting ideas to incorporate parts of
dd-convert.c back into delphinusdnsd to help in things such as dynamic DNS that
is fully signed. But first I gotta get this done. It's my main task for this
year which had obstacles to overcome. I'm looking forward to 2017 to start
new things on delphinusdnsd and improve on it, here is some hints:
- underlying database needs to be replaced, that means goodbye berkeley db.
The reason for this is that there is a bug with my implementation, not sure if
it's OpenBSD related or Berkeley DB related but it appears to affect queries.
And then there is always the need to refactor some code.

An idea and a plea for our worlds society
October 16th, 2016
Currently we're living in a split-brained world. On one side there is
powerful corporations who build shabby products, on the other side there
is consumers who require quality products that have no government issued
backdoors in them.
If we really are in an "information" age then why are computers a secret?
Why do our children not get taught anything useful in school, to build
their own computer for example. We're teaching the kids nonsense and
not telling them the truth on what is needed in a true information age!
Now if you think children at age 12 should sit down with a soldering iron
and construct circuits you're both right and wrong at the same time. We
know that electric circuits can produce a logic gate in order to do the
magic that runs computers. We also know from research that photonic circuits
can in theory do the same without the heat byproduct.
We also know that silicon can be doped to produce lasers. My suggestion is
to produce computers with photonic gates or fibre optic switches as components.
Put away with slow speed busses and combine RAM with CPU on one silicon
circuit. And interface this "package" with high speed optical paths to other
CPU's and I/O such as USB busses. There is very minimal soldering that needs
to be done in that scenario, but kids should learn to work with these high
tech components.
I am willing to bet a homebrew computer that uses light to switch it's I/O is
100 times faster than the usual 8 bit homebrews that we have. That's an
amazing 200 Mhz! We should teach our kids to build these from scratch giving
them the components only so that they can make their own.
I'm of the opinion that children from age 10 to age 14 should be taught how
to build their own computers and from age 14 through 18 use these tools to
expand their knowledge in other fields. Everyone their own computer! That
should be a must in the information age.
If you really think about this you may come to the conclusion as me that
people growing up around this idea will become craftsment from slaves and
will know how to build their own computers that are top notch technology.
Combined this is Open Source and Open Hardware and will tell the silicon
industry who possibly covet in secrecy to play fair. Their day has possibly
come.

Ordered 4 Puffy Mugs
October 13th, 2016
I have ordered four puffy mugs from the OpenBSDStore. I'm glad to be inviting
my 3 friends to have tea or coffee with them. Puffy style.

Upgraded io.solarscale.de to OpenBSD 6.0
October 13th, 2016
I have upgraded my last FreeBSD VPS to OpenBSD. It wasn't easy but I managed
to overwrite the first 64 MB of the partition table with OpenBSD installer.
Then I did a network install. Which didn't work for some reason, so I had
to ftp the packages manually before doing a disk install. OpenBSD rocks!
I now have 3 OpenBSD vps's. I don't think I need any more, I'm quite happy
with this.

My core network
October 11th, 2016
I was asked by AVM support to make a drawing of my network, I was having so
much fun with xfig that I want to share it with you.
Parts of it is in the german language but it's self explanatory.
