The fact that all of Syria
only represents ~4 percent of all
EU citizens makes
it a sad chapter in Europe as a whole that we can't "grow" 4%. And not only
that there is talk of 800,000 refugees this year which is 0.16% of the
European population. And even then if you were to take all 60 million
refugees worldwide that's only 12% of the EU citizen base. I just can't
believe that some Central European nations within the EU don't want to take
their fair share of refugees. Where is our conscience?
Why are europeans
so xenophobic when it comes to our neighbours? Let me spell it out for you
2000 years ago Syria was part of the Roman Byzantine Empire and is a
mediterranean nation. This means it is on the same Mediterranean as Italy
and Spain. Have you not realised by now that the ground you're on in Europe
is not yours? You're only a steward of managing this ground as is everyone
else, we all die, so then that stewardship is dissolved. The land belongs to
noone the people and their visions are the stewards of the land, and a slight
discrepancy in numbers (4%!) doesn't affect the main core! What's happening
now is disgusting, greed, opportunism, xenophobia, and racism are the signs
coming out of Europe.
We should be above all those things, our waters are
clean to drink giving us health. The land is fruitful giving us food to eat.
What can't we share that to people who have lost it all? And mind you the
uprisings in the fringe nations of the EU are an indirect cause of our
unity. We should feel compelled to help them not close them out.

Happy September Equinox!
September 23th, 2015
As I write this there is about 30 minutes until it's truely equinox. Happy
Equinox! I turned the heat to 1 (out of a possible 3 settings) today as it
was quite chilly overnight. This morning I looked up the temperature at
10 degrees Celsius. Since these are night heating units it'll take 1 or 2
days for them to reach their heating potential.

I'm not hiring
September 15th, 2015
People are sending me resumes of what I can tell from the envelope. I'm not
opening resumes as I'm not hiring. I look at these as attempts of phishing.
Thanks. Also I'd like to say that I'd love to be hiring, had I money. Sad
truth is that I'm not rich.

Ordered a book from Amazon
September 10th, 2015
I ordered the "Computer Security Handbook" by Seymour Bosworth et al. It
cost a lot of money, but it's a thick book (2000+ pages). I was made aware
of this book when I googled the domain of my place of work and it came up.
Apparently a link in the book is to our servers, which interests me. Oh well
here is hoping to it being good.

Equinox in less than 2 Weeks
September 10th, 2015
On September 23 at 8:20 GMT is equinox. After that point the nights will
become longer again and the days shorter. Yes, winter is inevitable.
That day is also the start of Autumn (or Fall) and usually the leafs from
the trees will turn in colours and eventually fall to the ground. Frost
will return...then perhaps snow putting its blanket on the leafs that fell.
Insects will rest, other wildlife will have a harder time getting food.
This is the seasons of the northern hemisphere. I think it's great!

Delphinusdnsd now answers to version queries
September 5th, 2015
On my test server it replies for version queries now:
alpha$ dig @io.solarscale.de version.bind ch txt +short
"http://delphinusdns.centroid.eu"
alpha$ dig @io.solarscale.de version.bind ch txt +short +tcp
"http://delphinusdns.centroid.eu"
I did this partially because I needed something easy to do. Where I left
off in June/early July was boring and complex work. I am trying to get
back into the swing of things now. There is lots to do still before the
1.0.0 release. If I don't make it by November 15th, it will be postponed
until the new year in 2016 most likely.

The last homely house on Earth
September 5th, 2015
Or... next stop, the Moon. This photo is my favourite photo of 2015.
I prefer it cold in photos as you could probably tell if you saw my self
portraits on this website. No, I'm not in this photo.

Changed DNS setup
August 31st, 2015
I have partitioned my zones between four nameservers (two sets). swshell.de
is a testdomain and is served by io.solarscale.de and americas.centroid.eu.
I will test dnssec on these eventually. The rest of my domains are served
by omega.virgostar.net and supercluster.virgostar.net. This is a thinning
out and I hope I don't experience a double failure on either set but then
nothing would work anyhow anymore.

Cancelling io.solarscale.de, eventually
August 29th, 2015
io.solarscale.de wasn't meant to be around forever. I've had it a number of
years now at hetzner online. So hetzner came out with a new line of VPS's.
A certain config of it I don't like at all, so when I tried getting a new
VPS with them I got stuck with that, I cancelled it right away. No way!
So I'm in the process of migrating everything to omega.virgostar.net and
supercluster.virgostar.net (the former for mail, the latter for web). I
just set up the IPSEC tunnel between those two hosts, it's looking promising.
