When I spend my weekends at my parents I usually do all network things as
usual on my netbook. Just that my parents have a different provider (DTAG or
aka Deutsche Telekom). Here is a traceroute from my parents house to my
VPS io.solarscale.de:

The return route looks like this:

Now then I connected an SSH and ran tmux. Switching windows causes larger
SSH packets and I noticed that they get re-transmitted, when dumping on the
outgoing interface on io.solarscale.de (re0). Here is what they look like:
Notice on packets #378 through #388 there is three retransmissions of a 966
byte length packet. This was captured on io.solarscale.de. On #390 which
was captured on fritz!box's 192.168.178.1 interface it's sent out to the
netbook in question. The fritz!box does not receive the three retransmissions
on it's PPPoE interface as the next screenshot shows of it's PPPoE packet
dump:
Notice on packet #175 the 984 byte length packet arrives. Why is it 8 bytes
larger? Because of the nature of PPPoE. Notice in the #175 vicinity no
retransmissions make it to the PPPoE interface. From this I can deduct that
it is not the Fritz!Box router.
Now then. It gets worse. A Linux box on my parents' LAN has absolutely no
problems with SSH on io.solarscale.de. It only affects my OpenBSD netbook.
Could there be something such as a TCP OS Fingerprinting firewall that uses
discrimination against OpenBSD TCP stacks? It would need to be done on a
flow basis if such a thing exists.
This is really annoying me as I'm inviting laughs and denial that anything is
wrong.

Equinox in three days
September 20th, 2014
Equinox is in three days!
At equinox the earth is exactly perpendicular if you were to draw a cross,
with lines between the north and the south pole, and the equator and the sun.
After
equinox as this is the southward equinox favouring the direction of the tropic
of capricorn, the northern hemisphere will fall into autumn, and countries
north of the equator will have longer nights than days. The sun at high noon
will continue to dip everyday as it has been since the June solstice, until
the December solstice at which point it will start to rise again. Isn't
the earth wonderful? I love this!

The Enforcers of the Internet?
September 12th, 2014
Some government body in Bavaria is writing warnings and threats to
Internet companies that don't use STARTTLS in their mail servers. I don't
think it's right to threaten Internet operators with fines when they don't
encrypt. Instead they should give Incentives to Internet companies to
start encrypting. Pretend you run your own mail server that doesn't have
crypto built in... I think this is the wrong methods the state is using just
to "protect" its citizens.

Moon finally gone
September 10th, 2014
The VPS in Hong Kong is gone. Here is the last message I saw from it.
You have new mail in /var/mail/pjp
[pjp@76er ~]$ Write failed: Broken pipe
that was from 76er.virgostar.net one of its jails.
I'd like to thank the people of Hong Kong, the city of Hong Kong, NTT and
Host Virtual (vr.org) for making this VPS possible
for me for 20 dollars a month. Hong Kong has good infrastructure IMO,
especially near the HKIX internet exchange, although I can only guess about
it really. It was my pleasure staying there for 2 years. As they would say
in france, a bientot!
I'll now remove the mentions of moon.virgostar.net from my DNS.

Venus (computer) has 4 more interfaces
September 7th, 2014
This morning my dad and I transplanted my Soekris 6501 (aka venus) from its
small case to a 19" rackmount case and added a lan1841 to it. It now has
8 gigabit interfaces. When I return home I'll have some time to configure
the new ports and add my rpi to it. Giving me 3 open ports in the hallway
and 2 open ports in my office (by taking the rpi out). I'm very happy.

Donation time again
September 2nd, 2014
After a long break from donations of any kind I activated donations again.
I've written a transfer for OpenBSD which I'll bring to the bank this
friday. The amount is for 100 Euros. This will be the last for OpenBSD
for this year and brings the amount to 300 if I'm not mistaken. It's a little
less than the previous years but I'm also facing less income this year due to
currency exchange. Hoping for a raise soon. :-)

Purchased Soekris Addons
September 1st, 2014
Happy September! I have purchased a 19" soekris case with internal powersupply
and one quad ethernet addon card for my 6501. What I plan to do with this is
place venus into my office and uranus into the hallway. I gain 2 ports on
both locations that way, and I can possibly put the raspberry pi back in the
hallway. Once I get the gear I'll have to wait for the right time to do the
operation from venus's (my soekris 6501) old case to the new case. Anyone
interested in buying a normal soekris 6501 case (metal) with external power
supply should make me an offer preferably if you live in europe.

War in Europe
August 29th, 2014
I think it's fair to say that we have war in Europe. This is the most
devastating piece of news, after Chernobyl, I have come across concerning
Europe in my life. Now is a good time to stop and listen to the UN.

Holidays coming to an end
August 29th, 2014
I had 2 weeks holidays and I didn't do very much except veg. I did write a
bit of code but not the bit of code I wanted to write. It'll have to be
written another time.
