I read somewhere that companies want to put their own satellites into space
to connect the remaining 40% of Internet-illiterates. Google, SpaceX and
Virgin Galactic I think. They dream of satellite formations that envelope
the world and are able to give Internet in far remote corners where laying
fibreoptic cabling is too expensive. I personally would tell these companies
to "stand back" and hold that thought. If everyone does their own
"Iridium constellation" then we'll have a major problem with space junk. What we need
is 1 platform for everyone to keep it sane. So I hope these companies will
"network" in the form of humans talking together and planning together instead
of competeing and making a mess of the space that surrounds us.
I would bet
that if we put reflectors or laser optic communication devices on the moon that
people would control and talk to from earth that the problem would solve itself. The moon is seen by pretty everybody on earth but not always. So you can set
up a communications link to give people a "downtime" to think, dream, plan and
improve their methods of communicating with the moon and each other. In my
view this is much more reliable and constructive than leaving space junk in
orbit around earth. I've noticed that I think different when I'm online. I
compulse more, I don't use my imagination as great as I do when I've spent
time away from the net. Some examples are a long train journey (clickety
clackety) or even being in the closed ward of a psychiatric institution.
In
the end perhaps I wanted to put a thought out there when I had
moon.virgostar.net on a Hong Kong VPS. In my view it's all about the moon,
not earth orbit.

This is how fair the world is
January 19th, 2015
1% > %99. After the
collapse of nations which is looming I predict people will want to do something
different, if we still have a chance.

Purchased some Reggae
January 15th, 2015
In order to chill out and have something new to listen to I purchased some
Reggae. The lucky artist I picked this time is Khago - The Real One (album).
These 10 songs join my collection of reggae now.

And our rights diminish...
January 13th, 2015
I'm unsure whether it should be "thanks charlie" or "merci charlie". As
there is now tougher laws, tougher controls and tougher everything-that-takes-my-freedoms. Even in England they are considering outlawing strong crypto. I
guess we may as well start paying a tax to organized crime immediately since
they can just read through the crypto that's weakened. Good thought! How
free and creative!

I am not your subordinate
January 11th, 2015
The longer I observe the International news in regards to views from other
countries with their relationship to Germany, I just want to make it clear.
I'm not your subordinate. Other countries waged war versus Germany 70 years
ago and we lost. However we're not born to be subordinates generations after
the war, so treat us as sovereigns. If you do not you lose a friend. And
friends is what everyone needs in these times. I sense that it makes Russians
furious that Germans are able to share their opinions on the world wide web or
even the Internet. I sense that Americans feel they have to protect a secret
when it comes to exchanging valid information. I'm not your little friend and
I'm not your big enemy. I am sovereign and seek freedom with something else.
I'm annoyed that Mr. Gorbatchov is blaming Germany for the problems his country
has with Ukraine. But my stance is, let the Ukrainians decide their own fate.
All the power-struggles of Russia are immature and pertrude insecurity world
wide. Get real!

Ordered 3 books
January 9th, 2015
I have ordered a book titled "The Art of Memory Forensics: Detecting Malware and Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory". This is something that interests
me and that I'm a total newbie in. With this purchase was a recommendation to
buy 3 books so I got the Red Team Field Manual along with Practical Reverse
Engineering. I wonder if it was a good decision. Since my budget for this
year is only 6-8 books I'm only going to count this as 2 books instead of 3.

My 150 Euro Calculator
January 5th, 2015
You know I own a Raspberry Pi. Well in December of 2014 I bought an Adafruit
TFT with touchscreen (only with a pen) that is 2.7". Here is the costs
involved:
Raspberry Pi - 70 euros with SD card and Powersupply.
Adafruit TFT display and Case - 50 euros.
Shipping and Customs from NYC, USA - ~30 euros.
I installed xdm and modified it to run calculator (xcalc) over the entire
screen. It has a screensaver too. This is what it looks like:
I put an OpenBSD sticker on it but only to cover the holes for the buttons
which I need to buy the buttons for but not likely since customs costs so
much. This rpi is running raspbian OS. One day I'm going to overhaul this
calculator but for now it's working nicely.

Donation time again
January 5th, 2015
I have written a bank transfer to OpenBSD for 50 euros, labelled it
"1st quarter", so it may be that OpenBSD is getting similar amounts
three more times this year. Told you it'd be less than last year.

Added supercluster to nameservers
December 29th, 2014
On August 12th, 2014 I removed moon.virgostar.net from the nameservers. Since
then I had been running off only two nameservers. Both were spread far apart
in Panama and Germany. Since today I have added a third nameservers again,
this time it's called supercluster.virgostar.net. While doing so I noticed
(thanks to DENIC) that my delphinusdnsd and its predecessor wildcarddnsd
version 0.9.0 mismatched/flipped the refresh and retry values in the SOA of a
zone. I fixed that and put it back in production. Supercluster is running
nsd in a slave mode. Earlier before doing the DNS change I upgraded
supercluster to OpenBSD 5.6 and applied all known patches. It's been a busy
morning and I'm fairly tired. So looking at the winter flowers will get me
going again, I hope.
