I had a problem with disassociations with telekom.de on my sip phone. After
I heard a friend used TCP on another network, I decided to try it. I got
399 Symmetric NAT detected or something error codes. After googling a bit
I determined it was use of a STUN server I had configured. So I turned it
off and finally was able to do a test call, and it worked. So here is hoping
it will stay up on my phone display and works. I'm a little red-faced I
didn't really fix this myself, after having worked 8 years as a sysadmin at
a voip shop.

This is too much for me. I can only run this computer at special occasions.
It would cost me 300-380 EUR a year (guestimate) on electricity alone. Also
something to know is that it sucks 1-2W in power-off mode (zombie-power).
Kinda sucky. I'm gonna perhaps save 10W when I take out the SAMSUNG HD drive.
But still!

Julia Reda was MEP in
EU parliament for 10 years. I don't know what sort of legacy she leaves
behind but I remember voting for the Pirate Party last election and allowing
her to take her seat in parliament. Now with the new EU elections coming up
she will not be running this term. Goodbye Julia, you kept popping up in IT
News sites I read and I think you did a good job, though it probably wasn't
easy as the only Pirate in EU. In the new election I'm hoping to see the
SPD get as many votes as possible. We will be going to the polls in May 2019.
I'm voting for my local representative
Kerstin Westphal.
Good luck to all!

I'm doing the counting up of years and how much longer I want to be involved
with delphinusdnsd. Right now I have 15 years under my belt for it, and I'M
hoping to go another 15 years until 2034. At that point I will be 58 and will
likely want to finish up other projects before retirement.
Parallel to this I want to take delphinusdnsd to another level. A page server.
The concept is the following. Pages of RAM are updated and read from a
bunch of delphinusdnsd's on a 10 GbE network (possibly with bonding, so a
20 GbE network). The delphinusdnsd protocol is modified to allow 4096 byte
pages in its format. The kernel on a computer is modified to talk DNS to this
delphinus cluster and do the necessary operations. I want to scale lots of
RAM on hardware that has little native RAM. And I want to see how good it'll
scale.
With the latter project I want to start within the next 2 years and be finished
by 4 years from now. I'll be 47 then. If it works well I may spin it off
into an enterprise and try to make money off it. So to prototype this I want
to buy a cluster of SoC's (like raspberry pis) and try with them until going
further and buying a bunch of servers with lots of RAM that a delphinusdnsd
will run on. Staying with 4 servers for prototype and final model is my plan.
This is my dreams and I hope I can achieve them before getting too old to do
this stuff.

I still have 3 CDROM drives on 2 computers. Next year it'll be just 1 computer
after I retire a workstation (see my computers).
In 2023 the blueray drive will die with the workstation it's in and only an
external CDROM drive will remain. I may as well start moving some CD's to
ISO's and put them in a safe place.
I remember a time when I was very excited to get CD's from OpenBSD which were
a product. I bought this product and felt good about it. I know OpenBSD
disagrees with me with the technicalities of what a product is. I wish OpenBSD
would in the future make products again and sell the product on memsticks.
There is some really beautiful memstick designs out there with different
colours and the chance to put logos on these. Ultimately the best USB stick
that could be sold by OpenBSD would be an RTC clock coupled with a memstick
which is read-only until a sunset date, then it switches read-write and you
can write over the data on it. I'll keep dreaming.
Do you still have CD's? Have you thought about converting it to another format?
I have ripped my parents CD collection to mp3's once (so they can listen in
car), I think I'll need to do it again some day to make them flac format
files which are lossless and currently my favourite audio format.

I have whitelisted my sshd port. The time is right I think. Quantum computers
exist. And RSA's days are numbered before it's broken. On top of that there
has been a report on OpenBSD's misc mailing list of someone claiming they were
hacked through sshd, I'm guessing only more of these reports will come in the
future. This is just a precaution because I'll never log in from China.

Julian Assange has been arrested. He faces minor charges in London. However
it is my opinion that it's imperative that he gets safe passage home to
Australia on a non-stop flight that doesn't pass US territory. His self exile
is a shameful waste, making me believe he was in a desperate situation.
