My Soekris net6501 firewall broke. It's still on warranty but until then I'll be missing it
from my network. I'm in contact with the reseller regarding RMA.

Registered domain zeropager.de
February 23th, 2016
I have registered the domain zeropager.de. I did this because as a youth me
and my buddies got pagers. Back then it was the in thing to do to have a
pager as mobile phones were still too expensive to have. Public phone booths
were aplenty back then and we used to make little 3 number codes to identify
ourselves who were were, if the call was urgent or if we're inquiring where
someone is. It was pretty fun. I had a dream about paging my old friend last
night. It gave me a thought of perhaps making a SIP based paging business
where people carry a raspberry pi zero around that writes on a LED display what
people are paging them via SMS or email. Who knows perhaps it'll lead to
something cool. I'm just riding my imagination right now.
And yes since I'm a kernel programmer newbie I'm sure to hit a zeropage some
where if I was using it in hacker sense. I'm just buggy :P.

Getting a TV after 16 years having none
February 20th, 2016
I've decided to get a TV. I also decided to change my ISP that will give
me triple play (Internet, VOIP Phone, TV over IP). All in all I'm going to
turn this around in the next month or so. Stay tuned.

Apple is right (in this case)
February 18th, 2016
Apple has released a "letter to customer" outlining why they will fight the US government to put a back
door into IOS products. In this case they (apple) are right, and I'm proud to have
an IoS device now. It takes a large corporation with good will to stand up
to the strongest country in the world, and this time they are actually
defending freedoms! My how upside-down that sounds, usually corporations take
away freedoms and the government has to protect consumer rights. Just a sign
though that there is people in government with great powers that want to take
all of our privacy away, to know everything about us to hurt us in the end.
We have a lack of good people in government it seems.

DSL Link issues, Provider refuses to help me...
February 12th, 2016
I think it's time to switch providers. I have DSL link issues that started
on Tuesday at 17:25 PM. The Link Control Protocol on my PPPoE router complains
of lost keepalive frames and resets the connection.
Feb 12 10:29:34 gamma /bsd: pppoe0: LCP keepalive timeout
This is what my provider wrote to me (in german):
vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail.
Die CPE weist auf ein Fremdgerät hin. Sollte dies der Fall sein,
schliessen Sie bitte die von M-net bereitgestellte Fritz!Box 3270 an
und testen die Verbindung mit diesem Endgerät.
Auf Fremdgeräte können wir leider keinen Support geben.
I'm not going to plug in that insecure old router they request from me. Plus
my internal network can't use it, it would take too much reconfiguring to put
this router on. I've ordered a new VDSL modem though in case it's my (dumb)
ADSL2 modem. This new modem allows me 100 Mbit/s which is tempting to be
gotten. I think a switch will do me good as long as I can keep all equipment
as is.

Delphinusdnsd what's next in development?
February 8th, 2016
I want to revisit the signing tool, and possibly do it in C. That or I'm
thinking of incorporating DNSSEC signing right into the daemon. That would
be a great feat, but hard to do I suspect. I'll have to carefully weigh my
options.

Ten days from now is Year Three
February 3rd, 2016
It's been 3 years since I had this apartment. A
look back.
Unfortuantely the electricity bill for 2015 was high, and I had to pay for a
new Fridge. All in all these are 1000 euros of expenses that I didn't
foreplan. But I have the best apartment I ever had and I still have the job
I had when I moved here.

Electricity for 2015 way up
February 3rd, 2016
I guess I must have had too many days where I had it too warm in my apartment.
So here is the table for comparison with the previous two years. It feels
a bit fishy but I'll take their word for it.
Year | Night | Day | Total |
2013 | 6941 | 1276 | 8217 |
2014 | 6906 | 1323 | 8229 |
2015 | 10151 | 1452 | 11603 |
This is in comparison with an
earlier
article from last year. I'm not gonna fight this outrageous bill but I'm
gonna try to keep a cooler apartment for 2016 since it's mainly the heaters
that made this jump.

Delphinusdnsd 1.0.1 released
January 29th, 2016
Bugfixes from the STABLE_1_0 branch have made the 1.0.1 release. I plan on
doing up to 8 more (to 1.0.9) depending on need, otherwise new code will go
into the -current branch and ultimately into the 1.1.0 release.

All Domain Names signed
January 23rd, 2016
This morning I did the last one of all my domains. Now I sit back and
wait for problems to arise. I already did all the online validators and
they are saying everything is correct. My email still works, which is
the main thing.
