Well now then Mardy Bum
I’ve seen your frown and it’s like
Looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there’s a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer, it’s one that
Laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it’s right hard to remember that
On a day like today when you’re all
Argumentative
And you’ve got that face on
About Poor Memory
Casual remarks or promises that may seem unimportant to you may strike a chord with the other person. You’re then expected to come up with the goods. If you fail to do so, your worth as a true person is in doubt–and it becomes hard to alter that judgement. […] The client would use such behaviour as a barometer of trustworthiness.
libpeak: Lightweight Inspection (DPI) Released
Happy DPI release day, everyone! Three months ago we were talking about how DPI technology could be improved further. Essentially, we were not satisfied with the current state of things. And there is no viable BSD-licensed code that’s fit for use with high load and mission critical networking infrastructure. Then we read a lot of papers floating around regarding the topic and started hacking. Now we proudly present our Lightweight Inspection to the public.
Requirements
Our key requirements were as follows:
1, 2, 3 und der Bismarckturm
So, so. Da ist er also der Sommer. Vom Moped bin ich noch nicht gefallen trotz aller Bemühungen. Die Arbeit ist auch ziemlich spannend. Vorbereitungen laufen auf Hochtouren für den Website Launch und DPI-Engine Release. Und sonst? Nüscht eigentlich. Alles prima. Vielen Dank an alle die die letzten Wochen dazu beigetragen haben. Ach ja, wer spenden will, kann das mal bitte hier tun: Bismarck-Büste für den Bismarckturm in Lützschena-Stahmeln!
About Anxiety
Then there are people who seem to have almost a genetic pull towards a permanent state of anxiety. This is known as trait anxiety. A person like this is constantly focused on what could go wrong. They engage in many forms of ‘distorted’ thinking and quite often are unable to enjoy life due to this pessimistic way of thinking. They may have an unhealthy need for control and try to reduce the uncertainties of life by trying to prevent the possibilities of things going wrong. Trying to achieve control over things that we can’t hope to influence contributes to more anxiety. You can’t hope to ‘carpet’ the world. You just have to learn to cope with whatever ‘thinking skills’ you can bring to each situation.
Unterwegs
War leider nicht das beste Wetter heute, aber trotzdem prima für eine Runde durch den Leipziger Westen mit der guten alten Simson. Manchmal ist sie etwas anstrengend, aber man muss sie einfach mögen!
Dissecting OpenDPI (DNS)
A Short Introduction
The time is nigh! I know all the teasing about DPI is annoying, but this will be the last article before the release of libpeak’s lightweight inspection. Thirty protocols have been prepared and polished so far. But back to the Domain Name System (DNS) for the time being. We all use it on a daily basis. And, well… covering this topic is too much for this context. If you want to learn about the implementation details, please kindly look at RFC 1035. Let’s get straight to the biscuits.
