Mon Apr 10 07:20:58 EDT 2017 Slept from eleven to six-thirty. Woke briefly once in the night. Mostly cloudy, breezy, high of seventy-seven(!). Work: - Remember go pull fresh dotfiles Done. - Move ERL and media converters to UPS Done. Why did Windows dns fail for resolve for itself when Unbound went down? Unbound should be set as the sole resolver for Windows DNS; the Windows DNS servers should do their own resolving if they can't hit the forwarder. It seems to work now. Why didn't it work this morning? Can we turn down the timeout to wait for a response from the forwarder? Yes. I found the problem. Some dummy set the DHCP server to hand out the resolver IP to client rather than the Windows DNS servers. Fixed. Dang! Quite a sudden and sever thunderstorm at 12:30. A couple of real window-shaking thunder CRACKS! It only lasted a few minutes. Thirty minute walk at lunch. Sunny, warm, nice breeze. Saw a pair of turkey vultures, robins, a crow, and a red-tailed hawk. A few green leaves on bushes and trees. Home: - Golang study Done. - PF notes Done. - Think about zero-player games, idle games, simulations Yeah, a bit. - Check out https://mastodon.social/about Done. A man wouldn’t leave an overbooked United flight, so he was dragged off https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14079837 > The truly shocking thing here is that violence - with the real possibility of serious injury - was viewed as appropriate in a situation that was purely logistical. The airline wanted seats for its own employees. This was not an emergency - such as a terrorist attack or a drunk passenger endangering people. The lack of judgment is stunning. There is no way that violence was justified. There seems to be a Canada goose nesting on top of the car ports. Watched a couple of episodes of Father Brown. Breakfast: carrots, yogurt, coffee Lunch: nuts Dinner: turkey sandwich, cookie, chips
