One year ago today I first plugged in my new ThinkPad (and Cortana scared the ribbons out of me). Then I installed OpenBSD on it, and became a not-Windows user, and that turned out pretty well, I think.
“We couldn’t cross the street because the traffic lights didn’t work.”, said the teen.
Awake early due to jet-lag after arriving in NY state, I tune into TV news to learn of the horrors that happened last night in the Big Apple.

Minisign, by @jedisct1, is a dead simple tool to sign files and verify signatures, and its signatures can be verified using #OpenBSD’s signify https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/

@jpmens extreme-right/alt-right social network which failed and now trying to be reborn in the Fediverse (and getting shitlisted as fast as possible).

Hash for commenting in BIND's named.conf looks unnatural to me /* thursdayConfession */
Stupid smart home maker leaks billions (?) of user records via exposed Elasticsearch server. https://www.zdnet.com/article/smart-home-maker-leaks-customer-data-device-passwords/
Three years ago [DS-server.py (C)2016 by Jan-Piet Mens] I stumbled over the fact that BIND will accept an update for adding a DS RRset but won't do or say anything if there's no NS RRset at the domain. The update is accepted:
adding an RR at 'baa.bla.org' DS 7273 ....
Which is reasonable.
Three years later (that's today), I'm ameding the code, and relearned that same fact while testing.
