I have purchased another WRT router (TP-LINK TL-WR841ND). This router I'm
going to set up at my parents house for freifunk.net. The cost of this
router was 28 Euros and is acceptable for a product that gives free Internet
and networking to people in range. Eventually we'd like to see a network
evolve out of this on the street, neighbourhood, city, state. I can't wait
for it to become popular.
In my view all government agencies, from far and wide, are the destroyers of
the Internet. Believe it or not the Internet is built on ethics and values.
The government agencies that try to exploit the Internet are in gross violation
of these. They are like a cancerous substance in the human body. They must
be removed but somehow I think the governments do not see a need to remove them.
What this does in end-effect is it destroys the 'net. We're dealing with
low-IQ jealous type kindergarten kids here. Because as soon as the government
agencies lose interest in the Internet, they'll recommend its removal. What
it is they are after is hard to say. However I have a clue. They are after
people trying to make a home for their soul. They are after people who make
the Internet more beyond the laws and limits of any nation. People have made
the Internet a supra-national governed body based on something else that the
governments have fathomed. It is based on the rules of logic, and laws as
written in the RFC's. The secret services organizations want to destroy this
because only they used to have a monopoly on thought and logic.
I'm going to write a small poem about this, here it goes:
Internet my light my saviour
why do you stir such bad behaviour?
For I am being watched with every keystroke
By who other than my government who poke
and peek in my private life away from home
Did you know I live in a dome?
Yes it's made of gold and copper
But you ask me where it is I don't know.
You call me a liar? It isn't so
For my soul travels along these fibre lights
and while I dream and rest at nights
during day is when I exercise my rights
to use the Internet for a cost and for free
that's what's it about in technology
I demand that governments take heed
to retreat from their creeping deed
And let this 'net be open to my mind
Without them trying to watch my time
And analyse beyond analysation
This poem is for the digital nation!
Well I feel much better now. But the Evil NSA and other governments agencies
are still about. Let's pray for them!

A few days ago I tested wildcarddnsd with 240,000 records. I was horrified.
It took 9.8 GB of hd space which took forever to load the records and when
I made the underlying database filesystem a tmpfs (memory fs), it still took
30 seconds to load all records. The problem is that wildcarddnsd has a
record for each domain name, so something.centroid.eu,
somethingelse.centroid.eu and someother.centroid.eu are 3 records in its
database. I made it so that each record is 40K large as according to this
test program:
int
main(void)
{
printf("%d\n", sizeof(struct domain));
}
The output for that is
mercury$ ./sizecheck
44287
So what to do. In the past wildcarddnsd malloc'ed all this data and just
stored the pointers in the database. This was good until I had several
processes for wildcarddnsd that forked()'ed. I could of course store all
data in a shared memory mmap segment, but getting the right size for that is
hard and we run into a wall when I want to deal with dynamic dns which may
add a lot more records than was evident at start of the program. So I think
I'm going to partition the records in struct domain and make it a little like
an IPv6 packet. To explain this we have flags such as:
I'm just going to tag on an A RR section if that flag is set in the main
struct domain which adds a little bit of memory. This way it's selective.
Also when we get to NAPTR pointers being excluded we save _a lot_ of space in
a record. This will all be put on my TODO in the tree so stay tuned.

Through another website I heard the news. The german government meanwhile wants proof or they're calling Snowden a
liar. To me the news just make sense. I heard stuff like that after 1945 there
wasn't any german effort to govern the people. It was all done by the Allies of
WW2. And the german government became a backseat pilot in such things such as
intelligence and security. Everything in Germany after 1945 was erected in a
manner that it suits the will of the allies not the will of the people. We
have the NSDAP and Hitler to thank for that. Germany is a mass-surveillance
experiment.
So how do I feel about that? Personally I feel it devalues everything. The
money is fake, the world is fake. Fake values and fake systems. And as always
the hands are tied behind ones back and it's a tough pill to swallow.
In recent conversation with my parents I had the viewpoint that Snowden was not
safe in Germany and hence we should not give him Asylum. I think Snowden knows
full well what he'd be getting himself into if he came to Germany. And the
efforts to protect him would just be a waste of time.
I have doodled with iMovie on the Mac a bit this morning and this is what I've
come up with. Music was randomly chosen and happens to be I Octane, Masterplan.
Watch this tree come back to life. Unfortunately the video doesn't work on
OpenBSD, and I don't want to convert it now.
Now that I have waited 2 months and not ordered anything in order to conserve
I have finally made another purchase. I have ordered "The Book of IMAP" by
Peer Heinlein and Peer Hartleben. The idea I got for buying a book because I
had to use Cyrus IMAP today and had to google on how to use it. This book
will hopefully help me more. It's been a long time overdue.
This is
on my wishlist. Possibly in 6 or 7 months when I have some more money.
I'm dangerously low on ports here at home and this router/firewall would be
beneficial.
