Slept from eleven to six-thirty without waking.
High of thirty-nine today, with a chance of rain.
Work:
- Work on ELK
Done.
- Order a doze power strips (longer cords are better)
Done.
- Is the Logstash config minimally three parts: input-filter-output? Yes.
- How do we run Logstash in bebug mode?

> Always start with in-memory data structure with straightforward persistence (i.e. load and save it all at once, using some popular format).
If you need ACID, then start with SQLite.
> If you need scalability as well, then PostgreSQL. Most other features aren't worth the hassle of configuration compared to a single file on disk and a library to link to.
> (But I suspect that most NoSQL apps these days would do just fine with SQLite, perf-wise. As an industry, we don't have a good sense of scale.)
(I came across the above by coincidence after watching the following video last night.)

Thirty-minute walk at lunch.
Much more pleasant weather than we've had in several days — mostly dry underfoot, not cold, and even some sunshine.
Home:
- Car title, insurance
No.

> Many of the astronomers Molczan contacted weren’t keen on the idea of spending hours outside in the freezing, pre-dawn darkness trying to track a satellite that was designed to avoid detection. So Molczan tried a different approach. He told the astronomers that this would, in all probability, be the only time they would ever be able to see a shuttle in orbit. A few stargazers who were unable to resist this once in a lifetime opportunity agreed to help.
> Molczan and a small network of amateur spy satellite hunters usually have no problem tracking the objects of their fascination, but the strange orbit of the STS-36 mission meant this time none of them would be able to see it. For the first and only time in the history of American spaceflight, the rules that barred a rocket from flying over land were suspended so Atlantis could deliver its classified payload into a highly inclined classified orbit. This meant the shuttle would fly over America’s eastern seaboard and large swathes of Canada, but only stargazers located north of the Arctic circle would be able to see Atlantis deploy its secret payload.
> Officially known as USA-53, but now better known by its alleged codename, MISTY, the satellite belonged to the Department of Defense and was widely believed to be the first instance of a new generation of photoreconaissance satellites. MISTY was reportedly similar in size and technical capabilities to the revolutionary Hubble space telescope. But rather than photographing the cosmos, it would be pointed back toward Earth to surveil America’s adversaries with unprecedented resolution.
> In fact, a few days after MISTY was launched, a Soviet newspaper reported that Russian astronomers had detected debris in the same orbit that MISTY was in, implying that the satellite may have been destroyed. Molczan told me he isn’t convinced. If anything, it seems plausible that the MISTY satellite shed debris on purpose as a way to further conceal its activities and ultimate orbit.
