Just found this in the comments to the post on the mysterious Diastar Test symbol:
HTML code with a link but no link text by a gmail user going under the handle “Pfaffy”. The link points to:
http://www.mosaicsdirect.com/Mosaic1000.html, a website whose tagline is “Marble Mosaic Medallions - 40 Inch“.
I’m deleting the original comment because it is blank. At first blush it looks like spam, but the symbolic mandala-like nature of the product being advertised doesn’t seem accidental. Mandala OS in action? You tell me. Your move punk.

Sorry ’bout not typing anything in the comment… yes, I realized it might be treated as spam, but you pursued the link. Good!
Eniro.se is a swedish search engine which has image search function at http://www.eniro.se/bildsok/
On the second result page for keyword “dia star” (without quotation marks) there was a compass rose. I recalled that you mentioned a compass rose in earlier posts… so I sent the link.
thanks pfaffy! i love the swedish.
…btw, I’ve sometimes used the compass rose as a signature when writing (analog) notes, messages etc.
Anyway, thanks for doing this site. always interesting, always tons of info.
