September seems to be a purchasing month for me. I have purchased 20 GB of
online storage (at 1.49 euros per month) from strato.de. They are located in
Berlin and I intend to use them as a temporary storage for my VPS.
On mondays I'll back up moon.virgostar.net, on wednesdays I'll back up
goldflipper.net and on fridays I'll back up io.solarscale.de or something of
this order. On the days inbetween those backups I'll download the images
home on my harddrive. I think something of the order of 700 GB max will flow
between me and this backup storage (per month). Should be worth it.

I exchanged the first picture with the second picture in my private section of
my webpage centroid.eu.
Even though I could lose a few lbs I think I'm still a pretty lad.

Ever since I had a fire in my apartment building I've been couching at my
parents house. I noticed that youtube and google know exactly who I am
whenever I return to their site. Even the same banners over and over on
slashdot revealed to me that they can track me. The big difference between
my house and my parents house is that they have a dynamic IP address and
I have a static IP. So what's the difference? With a static IP I even
get to run a "server" doing my own mail and knowing that my mail isn't kept
on some shady server somewhere, it's right at home instead. The privacy
with a static IP is protected more I'd argue than with a dynamic IP. This
surprises even me.

Since 1998 until 2012 the wealth distribution of the richest 10% in Germany
rose from 45 percent of all wealth in germany to 53 percent. A staggering
8 percent rise. This also means that the other 90% of people have 8 percent
less of total distribution. These facts came from page 8 of the Schweinfurter
Tagblatt newspaper on Wednesday, September 19th, 2012.
If I was dictator of germany I'd immediately tax the rich more. But that
isn't enough because that only makes government richer, the funds do not
necessarily reach the people. I'd introduce a minimum wage to
give the poorest a boost almost at once. Yes you heard right, to this day
there is no minimum wage in germany. Then I'd invest in social programs
for the poor, done in such a way that it benefits the poor more than the
rich, and is long lasting. Easier said than done, but I'd give it a shot
anyhow.

Nonsense! In a democracy anyone can go become a politician and anyone can
vote for them. If they are clumsy in their job after that they likely won't
be voted for again. However the tabloit "Der Spiegel" seems to
think different, and I want
to remind them that this is a dangerous path to be on. They say and I quote:
"Enstanden ist ein Portraet von jungen Berliner Politikern, die eigentlich
keine Politiker sind - oder gar nicht das Zeug dazu haben.". So explain what
a politician is? Must you come from a "political studies" background where
you attended an elite-university? I say ridiculous! How up-in-the-air is that?
You have no such thing as "Volksnaehe" then (Volksnaehe means closeness of the
people). I understand that these words "Der Spiegel" are using are just to
discredit the Pirate Party of Germany, and don't tell me they haven't done so
I've seen the sneer comments about the Pirates. Oh so the pirates have lost
some ground, whoopeedoo! Somewhere, some other party is still missing their 6% of voters though! And that's enough to topple Mrs. Merkel
or keep her on, sorry to put it on the table, but I think the pirate party is
the decisive factor whether germany gets a red-green or a red-black parliament.
Either way we may see Merkel again one more term. Rant, off.

September Equinox is upon
us again. The northern hemisphere is entering autumn, the southern hemisphere
is entering spring. At equinox a pole at the equator placed at 90 degrees
and at high noon will not cast a shadow, other than upon itself. As time
progresses after the equinox the sun will favour the
tropic of capricorn over
the tropic of cancer until the next march equinox.
Perhaps you will celebrate this earth event. I will somewhat.

My dad accidentally upgraded our 10.04LTS Ubuntu to 12.04LTS and my mom didn't
like the upgrade at all. So today I "downgraded" back to 10.04LTS and my mom
is happy again despite losing all her email. The reason she lost her email is
because you can upgrade evolution but not downgrade it, so the mails had to
pay. I'm also glad to be back at 10.04 I didn't want to pay the 92 euro upgrade
to VMware workstation 9 just so that it would work on 12.04.

I have provisioned, deployed and configured my new VPS in Hong Kong. Currently
it mirrors my website. If you go to ap.centroid.eu (ap stands for Asia-Pacific), you'll be seeing the usual website and blog.
I can now work on bettering my website a little.

In this
blog article I fantasize about having a third VPS in Singapore. Well, I got
one. Not in Singapore but in Hong Kong which is right around the corner
network speaking. This opens up a whole new arena for me. I'm now entering
the Asia Pacific market, whereas I had Europe and the Americas to this day.
I'm using vr.org as my hosting provider and
I've never heard anything about them before so this is sorta a new step.
Here are some facts about this new VPS:
- 512 MB RAM
- FreeBSD
- 400 GB montly transfer
- and lots more...
-
I'll be naming this VPS moon.virgostar.net, and it'll likely show up
first as a nameserver on the internet. Eventually I want it to serve web
pages too. Oh well. Today is a great day (for me!).
