I'm tied into a contract until February 2017 with my current provider, so I
won't switch until next year to get VDSL100, sucks I know. I've been a
customer for 5+ years with M-Net and the 24 month contract is run out however
they renew it for another year if you don't void the contract. So it'll take
until Feb 2017.
I have registered dtschland.eu which spells
deutschland (germany) when you rearrange the letters. I have registered this
for 10 years at 2.99 euros per year. It was a pretty good deal.
OpenBSD 5.9 was released early yesterday. But I was already working to
accomodate it on my Mac Mini. Yes it's running OpenBSD now on a split-boot
called rEFInd. I waited 3 years for that moment, but I always felt that
previous versions of OpenBSD weren't ready for the mac mini. Here is a
dmesg:
rebooting.

I truncated some long lines. Protected by pledge and W^X, yeah!
I have ordered from the Telekom in Germany the vdsl100 or magenta zuhause L.
With this I have ordered extra tv packages. As the contract that I was in
with ADSL before renewed itself for 12 months I'll also have to continue
paying the other provider until feb. 2017. Or I'll pay it in one batch which
will be better for tax writeoffs. Anyhow the day when I'm supposed to be
switched is on april 23rd or so. Wish me luck.
The European Union is always enveloped in crisis. We have the finance crisis,
the refugee crisis and the schengen crisis. I'm gonna talk about the
united europe a little bit which is rare on this blog. Europe is pretty
well off in the world picture, but our unity hurts others, mainly fringe
states, who see no way to compete with the united europe beside them. This
causes political unrest and always will cause political unrest until the
union does something about it.
Libya - I think was a mistake for NATO to get involved in. They are
worst off now than before with col. gaddaffi. My thought is that we should
finish the job and restore order by invading that country.
Syria - The islamic state is pure evil, and bombing them won't be a
solution. I say "boots on the ground" here too.
Ukraine - is a loser of being wedged between Russia and EU. We should help them economically.
Turkey - this country is interesting because it is wedged against Russia,
Iran and Turkey. They would like to join the EU but europe is not quite sure
how to deal with a semi-dictatorship which is their response to Europe not
willing to take them in. I say give them economic incentives to steer away
from this dictatorship fate.
Caliphate - is a term to name the arabic superstate, however without a
caliph (fuehrer) what would you call it? It is in europes best intentions
to break down the borders of old arabia and start building a pan-arabia with
hopefully democratic values. Think of a guy who has grown up taking his
little brother on his shoulders, both get a good perspective.
Israel - is doing pretty good so far, we need a solution about gaza and
pan-arabia.
Africa - should be given economic incentives, so that they can become the
next regional power. Desertec should be built to support europe but the energy
gained should then be reversed and flow toward Ethiopia's dams in order to
insure electricity for all of africa. If you don't understand this, please
look at a map of africa.
Russia - should be given economic incentives
So that's my current view on politics in our hemisphere. When I say boots on
ground I mean an occupation, but not just for a decade but as the model that
was done in germany with the allies. So far I'm counting 70+ years. That is
what should be done on a Libya/Syria axis to help unite Arabia with a sort
of marshall plan. Arabia (pan arabia) needs immense economic aid.

Happy Easter. I'm handing down my RPI model B to whoever wants it,
I'd prefer giving it away to a young boy or girl at age 11+ that is
interested in computers but doesn't have the money to buy a Pi. I'd
prefer shipping it within Europe as there is no toll/customs.
The stuff cost me around 150 euros altogether (ada fruit display, rpi
model b, german power supply (5 watts) and two cases as well as an
SD card, hardly used). If you are interested send me an email.
I've been watching this guys science for a while. It intrigues me and my
dreams are shaped around the topic of photonic computers. I want to show
you the latest presentation I've seen from him:
If only I were smart enough to build me one computer such as that, but to
be truthful there is a lot of researchers worldwide trying to make this
happen, so why would I succeed? lol.
Well it's spring now. The equinox came and went and I didn't even blog about
it. However I did find a tweet by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, that said that
because of refraction of light the equinox actually has more daylight than
night and it's not "equal day/night", but without this refraction of light
there would be exactly the same time for night and day. Anyhow I found the
tweet worth blogging about.
Freifunk Franken needed a turn-key server to convert a MAC address to an
AAAA RR via DNS, so I fleshed out (stripped out) a lot of parts from
delphinusdnsd and made it available to them (
FFFdnsd.tgz). The code to this is open source. Most of the functionality
is that I put together last night is in lookup_zone() which creates a
struct domain on the fly. There is some inefficiencies on how the code is
right now, but it works and that's the main point.
We discussed a little about buffer overflows, but I'm thinking if I introduced
anything bad in lookup_zone() then that's where to find those. The rest of
the code is identical to the delphinusdnsd code base (which also runs in
production). I'm glad to be of use with my 10 year old daemon. It's not
every day that I get a request such as this one.
