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.

Resisting Refugees is Shameful
August 27th, 2015
If you are against the refugee situation in Germany and greater Europe look
into your heart. There is people fleeing a civil war and poverty, disease and
of course violence of the highest degree. I'm for taking in refugees and I
support it with money as well (200 euros went to the Red Cross this year for
support of refugees). I don't believe anti-refugee violence should be
tolerated here. And I just can't believe that there is people so ignorant of
the refugees who are in dire need of help. They say haters are gonna hate,
but it's a shame that haters become physical threats. Shame on those hateful
people who stand in refugees way. That's all I wanted to say.

Omega: a new VPS
August 26th, 2015
I got a new VPS based in Frankfurt, Germany. It's called omega.virgostar.net.
I'm going to be using this one for a testbed with DNSSEC. With that I'm going
to have to split my domains a little bit. io.solarscale.de and
supercluster.virgostar.net will become a pair for serving my current domains.
Then I'm going to take my test domain (swshell.de) and transfer it to a new
pair consisting of omega.virgostar.net and americas.centroid.eu. In this
constellation I'm going to test DNSSEC, until either the test is done or
americas.centroid.eu expires. I'm not going to renew it, meaning in may
2016 I'll have three VPS again instead of four. This is positive as four VPS's
is starting to become a bit much to manage.

Changes at work
August 22nd, 2015
The company I work for has been sold. Or better yet it has been aquired by
another company. I worked there for 6 hours a day since 2012 and in total
5 years. Finally I told on my resume where I work. We were a very small
company so I always felt it was better to keep secret where I work. Now
it's in the open.
The company that aquired us want to retain everyone on staff. I've been
offered an "after hours support" position at the NOC at that company. They
promise more money, which is nice but I'm gonna have to work extra hard to
establish a trusting relationship. It scares me somewhat because trust
establishment is not like respect. Respect you can earn, but trust is a
two way street, and it's subtle.
Since I am a remote worker everything hits me especially hard, since I'm not
in the office. It's a stressful time for me and I hope I'll be able to get
over it soon. Right now at work we're in a transition, from our system to the
other system. The company that aquired my work sits in the USA, this is almost
a repeat of what I saw in 1999 when another US company took over the Canadian
ISP I worked for. Americans have a liking on buying Canadian companies. :-)
Back in 1999 I quit the company, but I watched the other people who didn't and
they had a fairly solid job for a few years at least. Instead of panic'ing I'm
gonna take it in stride this time, perhaps something positive will evolve out
of this. Whether it's gonna work is written in the star perhaps. But I'm
gonna have to say goodbye to the canadian systems we've built and nurtured.
I won't be that "canadian ghost" that works in the real early hours of the
morning. Now I'm in new territory, it's a little scary, as it's unfamiliar
to me.
I'm always glad I have a blog to get things off my chest. To whomever reads
this.

Maxed my Soekris 6501
August 21st, 2015
I have maxed the soekris net 6501 I have with 12 interfaces. 5 are used and
5 are possibly going to be used in the near future.
It took 3 years or so to assemble all this, finally it's completed. The
latch to make sure the cards don't move did not fit in and I couldn't screw
it on, too bad.. a slight misdesign by soekris. One just has to be careful
with this one when transporting it.
