My Take on DNSSEC – Part 3: How to configure it in BIND (cancelled)

Just as a quick note here:

I originally planned to do my third part on DNSSEC with configuration hints using the popular DNS server BIND. At the moment I also use BIND for my setup.

Now I discovered the “Advanced Secuity Notifications” at ISC, which sells prior warnings about security issues in BIND. Personally, I don’t want to support this model.

Instead I am currently migrating to another DNS server implemenation, YADIFA, which I will then write about. But first I need to check my setup using this server.

The Company Strikes Back & Return of the Notebook

For some time now, I haven’t been writing here. But since I was asked how the story about my notebook ended, I thought I should post an update here.

Yes, I got my notebook back. It’s been three month now, that I have been using it, and everything seems to be fine. I wasn’t sure about that, when I received the package, so I documented every step of unboxing. 😉

A new hope

It looks like the DHL managed to pull my notebook back out of the lava pit it fell into. I received a mail from Lenovo that my notebook was returned to them, due to a wrong address. I phoned them and they sent it again.

Whatever happened to my Notebook?

Last year, around the end of March, I bought my new Laptop. I wanted a small device with a 11inch screen but with still a bit of punch so I was looking for a 4th generation i5 or i7 and 8GB of ram at least. I was searching for some time and all I came up with was the Apple MacBook Air 11. Ethically I can’t support buying Apple devices, so this was no real option, though I was damn near buying one nonthetless.

Mainboardtausch – Status

Nachdem ich im Dezember schonmal von meinem kaputten Mainboard geschrieben habe, hier mal das Update wie es um den Service steht:

Statusmeldung Mainboardreparatur

Ich bin mir sicher, dass der Servicepartner vor Angst schlottert. Schon die zweite automatische Mahnung. Das einzige was ich auch diesem System erfahre ist, dass wohl um 4:30 der Cron-Job die automatischen Mahnungen erzeugt.

Sicherlich gibt es einen Grund warum ein Mainboard nach über einem Monat noch nicht repariert ist, aber dann wäre es auch schön, den zu erfahren. Ich war davon ausgegangen, dass der Schaden recht eindeutig ist. Und inzwischen ist das Mainboard auch problemlos lieferbar, also warum habe ich noch kein neues?
