Goldflipper is back in the news. The green lit panel was in a vision. I
seem to recall that I still see floaters in my eyes.

Hacks, network security etc.
May 28th, 2020
The low hanging fruits were already gone 20 years ago. Sophistication can
likely only be aquired with larger teams. This is not to say that this
should be done. However, to learn that a backdoor exists for example,
proof of concepts could be done in teams. Likely at the NSA or someone.
I have a book here that covers amplification denial of service tools in an
entire chapter or so. Likely wasted space these days. These books are very
thick and several volumes. Likely they can be cut down.
When reading source code, which is a very memory and mental intensive work,
you should likely approach this systemically by working down a list. I've
in the past taken stabs at source code reading but it wasn't systemically.
Also set your goals low, an entire OS for reading is not likely going to
work. Seek help as in human resources. I've made my own programs so that
I can practice reading on that over other programs. I think I'll pick this
up once my headache clears.

Can't judge a book by its cover
May 28th, 2020
This is an idiom, to describe that you can't quickly look at something and
make a determined diagnosis of it. Take a picture album. These are just
slices of your life perhaps but don't tell the entire story. They are
snapshots in time. You don't see progress in these slices. In fact the
photos only tell a story, in the photographers eyes, who may or may not be
trustworthy. When I look into a photo album I see that I have no eyes.
There is no eyes. Since birth.

Back for now
May 28th, 2020
The last few days I reinstalled all my servers. I had a rootkit installed
on both of them. A third server which was a scaleway linux host I turned
off because I could not deal with them right now. I'll leave that server
in an off state for a month in order to decide if I want to keep it or not.
I have updated my DNS servers for all my zones. I'll likely have to also
rotate the DNSSEC keys. You can't trust what's coming from centroid.eu as
much as google.com (which is unsigned). Treat it as unsigned DNS info even
though it has a signature, until I have changed all KSK and ZSK's.
I believe the breach occured through BIND or opensmtpd. There was a window
of opportunity with opensmtpd for someone to gain root access. Sure it's
been a while but I didn't see evidence for a breach for some time. In regards
to BIND, I'm just assuming becuase it displayed weird behaviour. Make sure
if you have a similar setup as mine (if you know), that your nameservers are
in order and both resolve to forward AND reverse dns to the same name.

Every beings identity
May 26th, 2020
We all have our favourites. A whistle, a tune, a way of saying things. It
makes people remember you. I also think carrying your choice of music is
part of your identity. It may have been planted on you, or it was taken by
choice. Here in Schweinfurt, I listen to the birds (unwillingly) as they
tweet through the area in syllables. To me those syllables mean something
or they remind me of someone. It's almost torment, but these birds only
express their identity. Their parents identity too perhaps. They learned
these noises in the nest. Yeah I'd like to shoot that bird sometimes but
it has a right to exist. Can you think of mimickers in nature? Does a
cat's meow sound like a crying little baby on purpose to win our hearts and
succumb to its manipulative efforts of being liked? Whatever you think is
true I know one thing. What I carry is part of my identity. Whether it is
first thought of by someone else or not. Strip that music from me, you'll
strip part of my identity. It would be torment.

Web server maintenanced
May 26th, 2020
I have maintenanced my web server. It is running a new version of the OS.
I'm not done yet, but I may be tomorrow. Good night. For the time being
comments are off.

The potential for steganography in Copyrights
May 23rd, 2020
There is potential for steganography in all source code. I chose to use
Copyright notices on .c and .h files and came up with a binary file that
is 6K in size. Fortunately there is no such practice in OpenBSD. The
concept is simple. Every time there is a (C) in the copyright that's a binary
1 and every time there is a (c) thats a binary 0. Thus with a simple program
(two actually) I was able to sift through all copyright notices.
beta$ ls -l output
-rw-r--r-- 1 pjp wheel 49917 May 23 10:28 output
beta$ ls -l binary
-rw-r--r-- 1 pjp wheel 6239 May 23 10:39 binary
There was no hidden messages. On another matter, the OpenBSD kernel does not
compile on octeon in 6.7 and is stalled on a compact.c file. On my equipment
I did a workaround, but compiling these may be hard for someone not experienced.

Brand names are being held hostage by the advertising industry
May 23rd, 2020
I've been reading a lot of online newspapers and magazines. I can't
believe some of these ads they show. It seems to me that the ads are
tarnishing the good names of the media. But suit yourself, if you
really want to ruin your brand.

New revelations on Luvox (drug)
May 20th, 2020
I've become aware that the drug I took from May until September of 2002 has
side-effects in 0.1% to 1% of takers that describe the symptoms for my
schizophrenia.
- Hallucination
- Confusional State
Furthermore, fluvoxamine
aka luvox, has been known to work long-term, and retains its therapeutic
efficacy for at least one year. According to the wikipedia, article. At
least one year. I was in a psychiatric hospital in June of 2003 where the
doctors said I had a Schizoaffective Psychosis (based around confusion).
Yes I do have rumaging and intrusive thoughts, but not hearing voices. This is
more what is described for OCD. In fact I still seem to fit into the
description of having OCD over Schizophrenia. To myself at least.
I dunno, see last article, I did take my medications for 18 years, like a
dummy perhaps? I asked repeatedly at my Psychiatrist if there is any doubt
that I do have Schizophrenia. And the answer was no. So who's to be
believed? Anyhow I got more self-talk to do in my lonelyness.
