... This is perhaps interesting politically in a isn't-October-over-yet kind of way ...
But, technically, it suggests strongly that the DNS root server operators are keeping and sharing logs of all TLD resolution, going back months, and using them for political and other purposes.
Which is freaking scary.

Hmm, I was thinking root servers based on language like "The Russian Alfa Bank was the first to contact the newly renamed host". Only root server logs could let you determine that.
But, in http://gdd.i2p.xyz/logs/ns1_cdcservices_com.log I see lookups for a non-toplevel-domain. So maybe it's not root servers. If not, and if it's just a bunch of big DNS server operators (8.8.8.8 and so on), then they're overstating their case some.
The less paranoid explanation is that the operator of the authoratative DNS servers for the domain passed on the logs. That explains the log filenames.

Apparenly there's something called Passive DNS, invented by Florian Weimer that captures a large amount of DNS information.
(This is .. a little surprising to me, since the Florian Weimer I know is a Debian Developer.)
https://www.farsightsecurity.com/Technical/Passive_DNS_Sensor/
"The passive DNS sensor only collects the DNS data received by a caching server as the result of recursion. The queries sent by individual clients are never logged."
Sounds like that could not produce the logs that are on that website. It could be used to help verify the legitimacy of such a more detailed log however.

double rainbow
2016-10-21T22:30:41Z via Dianara To: Public CC: Followers
Rainbow like the fall color lept off the hillside and across the valley.
In bright sunshinee, looking at the base, some trees were a multi-colored
mix of leaves and refraction. And then above, a second dimmer bow, double rainbow!

Baked a really ugly flatish loaf of bread, that's the best tasting and best
textured bread I've ever eaten. (Granted, being fresh from the oven makes
this a slightly unfair comparison.) After a year of learning (and the summer
off), I feel I am only getting started on baking.

Pulled off the street into Radio Bristol to see the Indigo Girls! Live on air, and I was ten feet from the stage. I've been a fan for 19 years so this was super.

Can mosty coast down from my house to the river. Return trip not too bad except the last half mile walk up the driveway. Biking along the river road, past fresh-cut hay fields is a delight, looking forward to fall.
Made it all the way to my favorite swimming hole. Thanks for the bike, dad!

Apeirophobia
2016-09-02T00:29:35Z via Dianara To: Public CC: Followers
My reasoning on living forever has long been that there are exactly two possibilities:
- At some point your mind stops changing at all, or are stuck in some form of loop forever.
- Your mind keeps changing forever, and so must eventually completely diverge from the person you started out as.
Both are existentally terrifying, so I'm glad it's only a thought experient. Apparenlty this is called Apeirophobia and afflicts the reliigous more viscerally.
I'd happily take a thousand years to think it over some more. ;)

Fun new word!
Each divergence so far has been making me a better person, according to the person I became. I don't see any reason to worry more over the 1000-year span than I do over the hopeful 100-year span.
Egan has a great discussion of this toward the end of Schild's Ladder:
“How do you carry something from here to there, and keep it the same? You move it step by step, keeping it parallel in the only way that makes sense. You climb Schild's ladder.”
Tchicaya didn't ask if the prescription could be extended beyond physics; as an answer to his fears, it was only a metaphor. But it was a metaphor filled with hope. Even as he changed, he could watch himself closely, and judge whether he was skewing the arrow of his self.
Maybe. Small errors add up. But also, I never said it wasn't a phobia. ;)

unexpected waterfall

Went out to dinner and learned of a 50 foot waterfall 3 miles from here. Nice hike but it would be better at a less dry time of the year.
