Sure way to fail with DNSSEC: manually copying signed zones over and reloading BIND. And yes: doing just that.

pondering \(software\) versions and releases. A release only says: X+1 is newer than X. A git hash says the same, but has an indirection
In my quest to write a DNS server in Go I found myself lacking an interface to PKCS#11, so I wrote one. PKCS#11 is the interface to HSMs (including SoftHSM), and even though the interface sucks, I think a DNS server should store its keys in an HSM, by default.
So… here it is. I’m still putting in the finishing touches and some general polish, but it is already usable.

Have an I-D laying around and sick of typing XML? You want to use Pandoc2rfc, but you don’t want to manually convert the XML (or the generated text) into Pandoc? Well, now finally you can do this automatically. I created a little stylesheet, that can be used to transform the XML to Pandoc. Note the transformation is not perfect, there are a few cases where you still have to edit the Pandoc, most notably:
In this post you can find pointers to documentation and source code for the pandoc2rfc package.
github.com/miekg/pandoc2rfc, if you are not using
the shell script (pandoc2rfc), you
should just copy transform.xsl and perform the conversions manually (see documentation pointers
below)
for both xml2rfc and pandoc2rfc can be found at launchpad, these can probably also be installed on Debian and definitely on older Ubuntu versions.
This draft is the canonical documentation.

… or any other document format for that matter.
I thought it might be nice to have some sort of split window view in that allows you to edit a Pandoc file on the left and see the generated I-D on the right (in vim, with no extra daemons and not relying on inotify).
Turns out you can do that, though it is not optimal, but it works. The jury is still out if this works well enough to actually make it useful.
GNOME3 in the default install is unusable, not as bad as Unity, but bad. Luckily
with some minor tweaking it can be made to work quite nicely.
These are some assorted notes on how I got stuff working the way I like.
From a fresh Ubuntu install, install GNOME3:
sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
Then:
Normal focus mode:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'sloppy'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences auto-raise false

I was wondering how to make my touchpad settings permanent in Ubuntu. I could find a few pointers on the net, like:
But sometimes it makes sense to look at your own system’s documentation:
% cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
% head 50-synaptics.conf
# Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver
# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on
# InputClass.
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite
# it when updating. Copy (and rename) this file into
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d first.
# Additional options may be added in the form of
# Option "OptionName" "value"
#
Section "InputClass"
Which seems pretty obvious to me. I added
Last week, the Dutch public broadcaster (NOS) decided to “fix” their online teletext offering, there breaking [an old script I had laying around](/2008/july/15/teletext_nl_script/index.htm l). Their new web interface (displaying gifs) can be found here.
After @bdekruijff discovered their newly, hidden text feed, I decided to adapt the old script to this new situation. Thanks to this page I was able to (partially) reconstruct the feed. Most escape sequences are working, I’m still fiddling with finding Unicode chars for the “Contiguous Graphics Set”.

Thanks to the help of Marc Petit-Huguenin I have been able to create (and upload) debian packages (install fine on Ubuntu) for Pandoc2rfc and xml2rfc. For Pandoc2rfc I choose to add a little shell script that calls pandoc and xml2rfc for you. So creating an I-D is as simple as:
pandoc2rfc *.mkd # or a few other extensions
The shell script depends on transform.xsl to be installed in /usr/lib/pandoc2rfc/,
allthough this can be overridden with a flag. When pandoc2rfc is installed you don’t
have carry the supports scripts inside your I-D’s source repo. My pandoc2rfc I-D
source directory now only has: template.xml, abstract.pdc, back.pdc, middle.pdc and a
bib/ directory with references.
I like Vim, so I try to use it at many places. Like in my shell (set -o vi), and
when writing and coding.
After some Googling I found that Vim can also be used as a MANPAGER. But there is
one nagging issue. To quit viewing the manual page you have to type ‘:q’, which is
one keystroke more then when using less as your MANPAGER… Needless to say: this
is unacceptable.

In the standard library the DNS types have been renamed from RR_MX to MX which I
think is a good change. So I made the same change in Go DNS, but this time
I’m providing gofmt -r rewrite rules. They all have the form:
gofmt -r 'RR_A -> A' -w *.go
And then for all the types, so it’s quite a list.
Download the rewrite rules here and use
it like $SHELL rewrite.
I’m starting to get really happy about the Go DNS API, so invasive API changes are less and less likely.
We want to create a little program that prints out the MX records of domains, like so:
% mx miek.nl
miek.nl. 86400 IN MX 10 elektron.atoom.net.
Or
% mx microsoft.com
microsoft.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.messaging.microsoft.com.
We are using my Go DNS package.
First the normal header of a Go program, with a bunch of imports. We
need the dns package:
