an amateur with a small inexpensive telescope to identify interstellar
comets? Aren't we funding some sort of astronomy operation in europe
anyhow? Speaking of telescopes and astronomy, I'm against the TMT, the
thirty meter telescope. It was supposed to be planted on top of Mauna
Kea on holy land. The Polynesians have won my heart. Place the TMT elsewhere.
There is plenty, albeit inferior, locations. Matter of fact. Let's rethink
astronomy entirely. Rockets are cheaper than they were in the days of the
space shuttle, place more telescopes in space and foreign bodies such as
the Moon and Mars. With all these satellites that will encircle the earth
in the next 10 years astronomy won't be fun anymore anyhow. Yes to the
James Webb space telescope, and yes to any future Hubbles they won't be
affected by space junk around earth if placed on further out orbits.

Sirens - only a drill
September 12th, 2019
Today I read in the mainpost newspaper, the sirens will sound (not sure the
time, probably before/at 11AM). It is only a drill in all of lower franconia.
One should be aware of this. Thank you mainpost.

I like it when it's cooler
September 10th, 2019
I'm feeling almost in my element. I'm wearing a hooded sweatshirt and this
is the most comfortable mode. I still haven't turned on the heat. Hopefully
later in October I'll turn it on.

Odd DNS packetry
September 10th, 2019
I received a DNS malformed packet log from a Hong Kong IP.
Sep 10 08:37:38 kite delphinusdnsd[80672]: on descriptor 12 interface \
"5.9.87.75" malformed question from 14.192.7.3, drop
Since there was no associated log with this it must have come from one of two
NULL returns from build_question() in delphinusdnsd. I have since given those
returns a log. In particular the question had a TSIG tag which was in some
form malformed, either in the algorithm name or key name. Heads up to any
other DNS programmers (like BIND, which I tried to examine but failed due to
code-dyslexia) that there is such packets out there. The fact that these
expand_compression() functions failed after being called from build_question().
The extra logging, that I have added, is done
here.

Thought of getting a new monitor, but what I really need...
September 10th, 2019
Is a KVM switch. I have found one on amazon and will wait a week until
I make the purchase (at least). With a 4 port KVM switch I'm freeing up
2 monitors and keyboards and those can be reused for more important deeds.
I don't need 4 monitors really as currently I have 3 for myself.

Considering buying a Purism Librem 5 Phone
September 9th, 2019
I have never had a cell phone of the smartphone kind, other than an iPod which
doesn't have GPS or a phone function. Pressures are making it hard not to have
a cell phone, so I'm thinking of getting this phone. Here is it's
website. I was also interest-
ed in the pinephone, but that one doesn't have an aluminium case. I'll wait
four days before making a purchase. Toll and customs will make this phone a
lot more expensive than it currently is.

Taking a holiday from habits
September 6th, 2019
I'm taking a holiday from Internet Relay Chat until the foreseeable future.
I should be back the first week of October or so. I have been doing this in
the past too, and it was often worthwhile. At first it's boring but then
one picks up on other things, and that's my intention. I really need to be
working on delphinusdnsd programming.
