Looked up your own name in Arabic? Greetings, my name is Hadzar. In fact
my name is Hadzar (Xail) al Habber, if I got the translation right. Hadzar
for Stone as in Rock as in Peter; Xail as in horse and al Habber I think
should say lover of horses. But it may not be right.
Why Arabic? Dunno, just thought it'd be cute to know. Also in Chinese I'll
find my name some day. A decade ago+ I bought a few Langenscheid's
(translators), Greek, Latin, Chinese, Arabic and some other language that I
can't think of right now. Obviously not everyone has a translator, so use
google translate, it's pretty good. Cheers!

I have added CAA records (which are supported in delphinusdnsd 1.5.0) to
the centroid.eu zone. I'll keep this for 70 days and see if it creates any
problems:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
centroid.eu. 3268 IN CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
centroid.eu. 3268 IN CAA 0 iodef "mailto:nospam@centroid.eu"
The above is the output of CAA query for centroid.eu.

Remember to donate to OpenBSD
December 1st, 2020
It's almost the end of the year and OpenBSD users and corporate users of OpenBSD
software should put in their share. Be kind to donate to
the OpenBSD
foundation. I have already donated 50 EUR in the beginning of the year
and I'm on hard times currently so there is not much more from me. however
I saw that one person (I met him at eurobsdcon in maarsen in 2011) donated
25K dollars. That's incredible! You rock! Thanks a lot for keeping OpenBSD
alive! Here is my disclaimer: I'm not associated with OpenBSD in any form,
I'm just a big fan of the project.

Let them know it's Christmas time
December 1st, 2020
Tonight as we crossed into december we got dumped on with snow. I guess the
radio be playing all those jingles and jangles (I personally don't have
radio anymore). It's a magic season to have snow. I cherish it very much.
I'm gonna see if I can catch a glimpse of the full moon as well. Yesterday
it shone bright and clear. I'd like to point people to this nursery rhyme
I played yesterday "Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot". This one on youtube was nicely done.
I remember a friends mom in my youth sang it, she was originally from Quebec.

Why SYSADMIN is no more fun
November 27th, 2020
There is too many laws. To be a successful admin in the EU you have to know
law. May as well have studied law. I'm dropping out. In the next two years
I'm gonna seek a job that isn't so infested with law demand.

I have since yesterday openly talked to my family about emigrating from the

down purchases.

True choice: 10 parties+ we got none
November 24th, 2020
The only anti-EU party that exists is the AfD. This is why I may have to
vote for them. I'm not racist, but I will be after this. I have only one
goal, to end this EU. Next federal election is in a year less 1 month. I
have some time to think about his choice.

What is that word?!
November 17th, 2020
When I returned to Germany in 2002, I was very physically active I did
everything... including trespassing on US Army property. However. There was
a word on the Achtung signs that I did not know, but i understood it. It was
a sort of fnord sort of
word. I never encountered this word much (if at all) while living in Canada
for 15 years. It just wasn't taught. Of course these signs are bilingual,
in german and english. It has all the Warning/Achtung/Caution/Be aware type
warnings, but it did not mention trespassing. So I'm deeply sorry that I
passed into unchartered/illegal territory. By now it's 18 years later and
I have learned my lesson. The Army is gone by now. A sign could look like
the following:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X Achtung! Warnung! U.S. Amerikanischer Truppenuebungsplatz. Nicht X
X Betreten! Scharfe Munition! X
X X
X Warning! Caution! YYYYYYYYY! Do not cross into this territory. X
X Live ammunitions! Yadda yadda yadda. X
X X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So this word was somewhere between the YYYYYYYY and the yadda. It made perfect
sense to me at the time of crossing into the territory. But I ignored it.
I'm really curious if the Internet knows what word I'm talking about. It is
not "No trespassing", "Beware" or other simple words. I think it is from the
1940's perhaps. Google doesn't know it. I checked several times.
PS: I dropped a tissue on the field on US soil. Sorry.
