I have changed the algorithm for the DNSSEC on four domains to algorithm 13
which is ECDSAP256SHA256 (better to just say alg 13, hehe). Its an elliptic
curve type asymmetric cipher. I'm finally fully reaping the benefits of
the changes that came with delphinusdnsd 1.4.X, and soon 1.5.0 will come out.
I checked all domains with dnsviz and they
checked out OK. I'm very glad this is done, and next I'll be migrating the
servers to cloud instances. I'll likely get started with this tomorrow.

My self-perceived luck over 30 years
September 18th, 2020
I have constructed a luckstat, where my self-perceived luck (the more the
better I feel) is documented over 30 years. Luck has a lot to do with job
and education levels, but also world events that influenced me. Here is my
graph.
As you can see it starts fairly high (grade 10 in 1990) and degrades. It
shortly spikes up as I entered college and degrades and rises as I worked at
my first few jobs until year 2000. Then it falls September 2002 is a low
point due to my psychosis and it stayed low for most of the decade. Then
with an opportunity for a new job it rises in 2010's. With carreer mistakes
it is on the falling end right now, but the 2020's have yet to be written.

New VPS parallax.centroid.eu
September 16th, 2020
This is a new vps that was gotten to take over operations from trapezoid in
30 days. It's a virtual private server. Half the price of trapezoid. It's
sad I have to downshift, but I need to save money. In roughly two weeks I'm
switching it live for web operations and DNS. That will also be the time when
I get its twin "spectral.centroid.eu" which will take over from kite. Kite
will also be scrapped and given back to the hoster but a month later around
November 16th.

One fact I forgot to mention
September 15th, 2020
The EU is a supranational union that has 500 million people as citizens.
Our combined GDP is over 10 trillion EUR per year. We have lived cozy in
peacetime for over 50 years. We do not have many foes.

My Opinion on Moria
September 15th, 2020
Let's look at the facts.
- Refugees from wartorn countries want to come to Germany above all other countries, Why they want to come here is beyond me. Perhaps because our economy is really good?
- Refugees using Turkey as an intermediate destination make it to Moria and other Greek islands, and get stuck there, because the Balcan Route is closed/fenced off. Their true destination is Germany.
- Turkey has been known to push refugees to the EU borders. EU has no refugee policy whatsoever.. but we have frontex a border protection agency, who shoot with live bullets.
- Everyone wants to come to Germany...
- The conditions at Moria are a crying shame, what would a greek say about this I wonder?
- Unconfirmed rumours say Germany/EU gave Greece 200 billion Euros to take
care of the Refugees. Are we being defrauded?
- The conditions before the fire at the Moria camp were making headlines months before, there was 13000 people in a space designed for 1300...who'll take responsibility for this one?
So everyone wants to come to Germany.. why? I'll tell you why, because seemingly life is cozy here, and money grows on our trees.

Siren drill (today at 11AM)
September 10th, 2020
Today there is supposed to be a siren drill. It's earlier than most years.
If you're reading this and hear the sirens going off at 11AM in Germany
it's only a drill (probealarm).

JS History going away soon
September 9th, 2020
I'm too lazy to merge JS history into the centroid blog sources. It will
remain a patch in my sources at home. It was wasteful on resources somewhat
but it looked cool. I'm going to make a new captcha system soon since someone
I know noticed the captcha wasn't all too great. There is more on this to
come.

SpaceX trial area on Earth
September 7th, 2020
SpaceX Starlink has a trial between the latitudes 44N and 52N only in North
America currently. This is according to
Wikipedia's Starlink article.
I have plotted this service area with xearth. For this I had to make a marker
file which I did like so:
awk 'END { for (i = 44; i <= 52; i+=8) for (j = -55; j > -135; j--) \
printf("%s %s \"\"\n", i, j); }' /dev/null > markerfile
and then I launched xearth like so:
xearth -noroot -markerfile markerfile -sunpos 44,-100
Notice I set a sunpos at an impossible location (it's not naturally like that).
Here is the result, captured with screen capture from gimp:
Enjoy.
