Delphinusdnsd 1.0.0 Released

January 1st, 2016

I have released delphinusdnsd 1.0.0. You can download it here. The SHA256 code to the tarball looks like this: 8914aa55437081e44895a4cecdfff82b4a3be03fb38dd65d073c71e1be187e41.

I've worked on this release for over a year. Some parts are incomplete still but I feel I gotta get it out the door. When is a DNS server ever complete though one may ask? Anyhow, enjoy!

More power from Arabia and Sahara?

December 31st, 2015

A ghost haunts Europe. It's the power ghost. Once there is no more oil either available or sanctioned due to the environmental effects, where will we get our power from? One corporation in Germany has a plan. But do we really want to upkeep the power hegemony in Arabia and Sahara just to get our power? These are political factors which don't convince the technical ones.

I joined Twitter

December 22nd, 2015

There is a lot of fake accounts out there pretending to be mine. But the official twitter account from me is now @delphinusdns_pt Peter J. Philipp. I'll be dropping news on delphinusdnsd here and do personal correspondence between old and new friends of mine.

Getting ready for delphinusdnsd release

December 19th, 2015

I'm now running some of the latest code in production for the next two weeks on my nameservers io.solarscale.de and omega.virgostar.net. If I'm satisfied I will release delphinusdnsd 1.0.0 by January 1st, 2016. It's been a long year and I was very very brave for attempting DNSSEC. There is room for improvement but a simple DNSSEC'ed zone can be served by delphinusdnsd. After that I'm probably gonna take a (small) break from DNS programming.

More sky photos coming up

December 15th, 2015

I was talking with my Dad who is getting a new camera. So I'll inherit his old one. It was the one that I took sky photos of Mars on February 7th, 2010 of (seen here). it's 6 years later and this camera is probably 2 generations old by now but I won't use it all the time, only sometimes. I'm especially interested in getting more of Delphinus constellation with it's stars Rotanev and Sualocin (both are backwards from Nicolaus Venator) who apparently had a liking for the constellation Delphinus as well. Oh well here's to hoping it works out.

An ejection from Atacama?

December 13th, 2015

In this article phys.org reports that the country Chile is planning a hydro power plant in the Atacama desert. While this is applaudable there is European interests in the region that may conflict with this. Several ESOC telescopes are situated there and exploit the fact that the Atacama desert is nearly cloudless. Would water in that desert create cloud? Only time will tell. We may have to look for a new place for the southern observatories, or move it all to the moon. If that's even possible in the near future.
