Well Christmas isn't around truely yet, but I'm sure Maria felt something by
now, those 2000 some odd years ago. I want to wish you a happy solstice today
and you may not know this the solstice is for me christmas and new years in
one. But I do honor the christian tradition too and we don't open our presents
until the 24th (24th is german tradition to open presents on xmas eve).

Solstice in 5 days
December 17th, 2011
Once again the solstice is upon us. For northern people like me, it's the
winter-solstice. For southeners like Australians the summer solstice is
approaching. This solstice
according to wikipedia is on the 22nd of December.

Natally enables IPv6 on my parents computer Neptun
December 11th, 2011
I finished porting the changes I've made to the openbsd client for natally to
Linux. On my parents computer then I'm able to do:
root@neptun:/etc# ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(bw-in-x69.1e100.net) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from bw-in-x69.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=81.6 ms
64 bytes from bw-in-x69.1e100.net: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=80.2 ms
^C
--- ipv6.google.com ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 80.248/80.927/81.607/0.736 ms
Among google facebook also works over IPv6 (www.v6.facebook.com). I'm very
happy that natally works the way I planned for it. In the future though I'M
going to make some routing code changes with it... stay tuned for that.

Sample IPv6 traceroute through Natally
December 7th, 2011
I have set it up so that Natally which is run on a Linux VPS tunnels for an
OpenBSD client. Here is a demonstration:
# sh run
opened tun0 for communications
# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=51 mtu 1500
priority: 0
groups: tun
status: active
inet6 fd00:1000::1 -> prefixlen 64
# host www.v6.facebook.com
www.v6.facebook.com has IPv6 address 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3
# route add -inet6 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3 fd00:1000::2
add host 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3: gateway fd00:1000::2
# traceroute6 www.v6.facebook.com
traceroute6 to www.v6.facebook.com (2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3) from 2001:a60:f074::30, 64 hops max, 12 byte packets

As you can see the first hop is through Hetzner Online (20 ms latency due to
my DSL) which is my VPS provider. I still have ideas for Natally in v6 mode
so stay tuned.

mars is back
December 5th, 2011
Well I finally was able to put the SSD in mars. Here's a clip from the
dmesg as that's all that's changed:
$ dmesg|grep wd0
wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0:
wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 61057MB, 125045424 sectors
wd0(wdc0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2
root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b
The speed is pretty nice. I can upload to the box at 5MB/s and reading
and writing files is somewhere between 15 and 18 MB/s. And the best
thing about the G4 Cube is now that it's soooo purring quiet (minus the
purring).

Hacking on Natally again
November 29th, 2011
I'm back hacking on Natally.
This time I want to put in routines for NAT for IPv6. Basically I want to
give my network a ULA block and then use the IPv6's on my VPS which do a "redirect" back. All
this because Hetzner Online doesn't allow extra "true" V6 /64's for VPS
customers, we just get 1 which have to be bound on the external interface or
we get no routing. So this is where natally comes in. I'm doing this too
because I don't know how long the sixxs.net tunnel at my provider will last.
I heard they have a pilot project to get native v6 already without tunnels
so perhaps one day the tunnelling will cease and I might lose my v6 block.
Also VDSL is rolled out but not at my provider so I may want to switch one
day. We'll see.

mars loses harddrive, new SSD ordered
November 25th, 2011
Mars died with a uncorrectable data error in the harddrive. I made backups
from it and I'm going to build what this guy did:
SSD in a powermac G4 Cube.
It cost 147 euros for the card and the adapter and I hope it'll work out. The
positive thing is that I can reuse the SSD if I don't like mars anymore.

My C Primer hits 10,000 views
November 22nd, 2011
The C primer I wrote
(with corrections from other guys) has hit 10,000 views.
It's very popular on the Internet it seems. I thank you for the views if you
visited it, and I hope you were not dissapointed. My goal is to make newbies
able to write input and output of data with the C programming language. I
don't know if I succeeded, but I got a thank you for this before.

mars.centroid.eu dmesg
November 22nd, 2011
I've owned this computer 10 years now. When I bought it it ran OpenBSD 3.0
or so (back when there was still OpenBSD powerpc). In the meantime it
loaded Mac OS X, ran for my parents and then it was mothballed... well I
saved it didn't I.
