Es sind so Zeiten, da wünschte man, die Games Industrie wäre nicht so scheiße. "Annoying Techbro CEO" Tim Sweeney zum Beispiel. Der hat auf einmal gemerkt, dass es schlecht ist, wenn man mehr ausgibt als einnimmt. Und kündigt daher nach eigenen Angaben 830 Angestellten, dazu soll es Umstrukturierungen geben. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan hingegen sagt "ist dann auch mal gut" und möchte zum April 2024 aufhören. Ungefähr zu der Zeit soll auch Horizon Forbidden West in der Complete Edition für PC kommen. Jetzt schon gibt es von AMD FSR 3 mit "Fluid Motion Frames" Frame Halluzination für Forspoken (inkl. der Demo) und Immortals of Aveum (keine Demo), weitere Spiele sollen folgen. Der Zuck hat auf der Meta Connect die Meta Quest 3 vorgestellt mit einer UVP ab etwa 550€ (128GB) bzw. 700€ (512GB). Technisch ziemlich cool, leider Meta. Ansonsten alles "AI". ALLES. Was macht eigentlich "Threads"? Egal. Die Raspberry Foundation hat den Pi 5 vorgestellt, cooles Ding, aber immer teurer; Meep wartet auf ihren ESP32 Mikrocontroller; Mo ist begeistert von Good Omens Staffel 2; Mike stirbt sich wohlig durch Lies of P.

Tailscale is "A secure network that just works with Zero config VPN. Installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere " Tailscale is built around the Wireguard VPN, which runs on almost any platform and is now built into the Linux kernel. You can use the basic product to connect up to 20 devices for nothing. I have it installed on my UNraid server which is running Tailscale inside a Docker container. Setting this up took all of 10 minutes. Next, I installed Tailscale on my Android phone and could use it to view my Emby media server via 4g. As it's a VPN all traffic between your computers is encrypted. There is an experimental MagicDNS that automatically registers DNS names for computers on your network, so you can use URLs that are easy to remember such as "mymediaserver" instead of having to remember its IP address. An additional plus point is that it somehow works on networks using CGNAT (mobile phones and Starlink) so you can access your phone from your computer via a web browser.

Windows 11   Windows 11 - New UI, new features, and new sounds.   Tech folks seem to like the new look of Windows 11 with its new UI interface.   NB - windows 10 21H2 will still be released at the end of this year, with Windows 10 being supported until October 2025.   Bottom line, Don't Panic, if your machine is fine, leave it alone for now.   New PC's coming out now will show that they are Windows 11 ready. Developer build of Windows 11 out this week, new PC's in spring will come with Windows 11, but full version downloadable not until early next year 2022.   Keynote was 1AM June 25 in Australia. Initial problems with stream. Was not Audio Described. It was an OK keynote, not as inspiring as an Apple Keynote.   Windows 11 will be a free upgrade to existing PC users.   Minimum specs: 64 Bit CPU, 4GB RAM, 1GB clock speed, 2 cores, and 64GB storage, only slightly higher than Windows 10 requirements. Secure Boot and TPM V2.0 according to the Windows 11 page is required for existing PC's and new.   Secure boot and TPM causing a lot of confusion for existing PC users, here is an article explaining TPM and secure boot.   https://arstechnica.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farstechnica.com%2Fgadgets%2F2021%2F06%2Fheres-what-youll-need-to-upgrade-to-windows-11%2F%3Futm_brand%3Darstechnica%26utm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_social-type%3Downed%26utm_medium%3Dsocial   No more 32 bit version of Windows, but 32 bit apps will be supported.   Microsoft will require an Internet connection and a Microsoft account to setup Windows 11 Home.   Microsoft kicks Cortana out of the boot setup process for Windows 11.   Windows 11 has a Mac OS style Dock bringing the Start button and Apps to the middle of the screen.   Better multi-tasking in Windows 11 with Apps and App Windows.   Windows 11 adds Widgets to help serve content that matters to you (whether, news, sports scores etc). New Commission free Microsoft Store if developers use their own Ecommerce systems.   Windows 11 to better support touch gestures with larger touch targets, and supports haptic feedback for pens on touch screens and tablets.   Microsoft is bringing Android apps via the Amazon App Store to Windows 11 (very questionable whether these will work with assistive technology).   Windows 11 built for gamers.   In the Keynote it sounded like Microsoft Teams was part of the OS on the Task Bar now, but it appears its only Teams Chat, still have to download the full version of Teams if you want to use it.   Voice Typing which is just an enhanced version of Voice Dictation will apparently punctuate correctly and allow basic edit voice commands such as “delete that”. Yet to see how well this works with Assistive Tech.   Skype will still be around until Windows 10 I'm assuming goes away in 2025. But, not pre-installed.   Internet Explorer finally not pre-installed on Windows 11.   Windows 11 will move to a yearly feature update model.   Windows 11 Landing Page   Besides details about Windows 11, also including a link to download the PC Health app to see if your PC will be able to run Windows 11. On my surface Pro it wouldn't tell me as for some reason it decided it was a work PC and not a personal one.   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11   Link to the Microsoft Keynote Event for Windows 11:   https://mediastream.microsoft.com/events/2021/2106/HGS8/player/HGS8-3.html   All up, a very messy presentation leaving folks exactly wondering if Windows 11 will run on their PC;s and exactly when it will be available.   As of this show going to air, no news from the Microsoft Accessibility Team on Windows 11, just a generic statement that information will be coming.   Amazon Echo Smart Speaker Line Up   A bit of a switch of gears.   I am really liking my Amazon Echo Dot 4 gen, and Amazon Echo Dot 4 Gen with Clock around the house. Nice neat small speakers with great sound. About the size of a cricket ball with easy to use tactile buttons.   The Echo 4 Gen itself, which is the size of a Grape Fruit keeps the same stylish design as the Echo 4 Dot Gen, and again with excellent sound for filling a room.   If you really want to fill a room with amazing sound, you'll find the Echo Studio works extremely well where it try's to fill the whole room/space with sound. Like a big cylinder much like the full sized HomePod, but no where near so much base noise. Again, excellent tactile buttons.   Finally, the Echo Show 5, 8 and 10 screens work also well, particularly with the 10 moving to keep you in focus when on a video call. Still tactile buttons, and excellent sound. NB for people relying purely on the inbuilt screen reader, some elements of some skills may not work. For example, asking for a list of scrambled egg recipes, the inbuilt screen reader will not read this screen. For low vision folks, this issue may not be a problem.

High Risk/High Reward: Stories from my Life in Technology

A pure celebration of geekdom and nerd squads. As I said to my daughter just before recording this: "I'm like a super geekazoid, huh?" Her answer: "Yeah you are." Aha! Someone agrees with me! This episode stays in the technical domain. There's a lot to talk about in the world of computers and the components that enable them. We will be going from a discussion of Raspberry Pi to the Apple M1 creating a mighty hunger for some Apple Pie.I received a parcel from across the pond today. It contained a Raspberry Pi Pico, the new $4 programmable microprocessor, arriving from the England. The Pi Pico intrigues me because I have already thought of some cool projects to use them for. One of the projects is a sweet Valentine's oriented couple's project: to merge my sweetie Sue's hobby (arts and crafts) with my geeky creations to create something interesting and fun. Now I just have to implement at least part of it by Valentine's day because I think this is a clever, unique, interesting way to bring our leisure hobbies together. How much more (super geek) romantic could something be? I am not joking about this either.I had already been in the middle of several Raspberry Pi projects using Pi Zero W, several Pi 3bs, and a Pi 4/4GB RAM. The image for this episode shows some of the Pi boards, my soldering workstation, and peripheral components such as a hi quality camera, sound cards and synthesizers, a breadboard and other cool nerd toys. If you look closely, there's a yellow CD case from Symantec C++, a product I worked on while working at Symantec in the early 1990s. It's there as a reminder and behind it are some Jibo robots. I "stage" my work areas to always include something inspirational whether a book, product, picture, guitar, piece of some product from my 40 years as a maker, or pictures of puppies.Many products are mentioned. None paid or asked for placement. This remains an non-monetized, unbiased, rant-oriented podcast series. But at the end I hint that one of the companies should consider sponsoring me in some way based on the plans I have to do business with them.Music is just some pre-Super Bowl snippets from a 45 minute, high gain, loud, experimental jam. It was like driving a Mustang Cobra with 600 Horsepower on the verge of losing its grip on the pavement. This is why we love tubes. The responsiveness and added harmonic content is delicious and oh so satisfying. Apologies to Ms Sue. I played super duper loud pushing all 4 tubes in the recording chain to their limits and letting the Tele bridge pickup work it's magic. Played on Liz The Firecracker (2020 Squier by Fender Affinity Tele with special upgrades) through Blackstar Studio 10 KT88 with new Genalex Gold Lion tubes for both the 12AX7 preamp and KT88 power amp. Another Gold Lion in the SM57's signal chain pointed two inches off center of the Celestion, and an Electro Harmonix 12AX7 LPS in the Rode NT5 room mics signal chain. All tubes hand selected and modern Russian-made reissues of the classic British tubes.Blah, blah, blah. My intros are longer than the episodes!

Unschlagbares Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis mister_non-mahet-alte am 23.05.2016 Nachdem ich mit lange mit einem sehr alten Interface mit PCI-Karte an einem Uralt-PC herumgequält habe, musste nun endlich etwas neues her. Gesagt getan - das 16-kanalige TASCAM habe ich schon im Auge, seit es noch das US-1800 war (der Vorgänger). Ich war zudem fasziniert, wie der Preis für das Gerät kontinuierlich gesunken ist. Vor drei Wochen war es dann nun soweit, ich habe mir ein Exemplar des US-16x08 bei Thomann bestellt und mich darauf gefreut wie ein Schneekönig zu Weihnachten. Angekommen ist es in einer sehr schönen Verpackung mit Tragegriff, die nach dem Öffnen ein Verpackungsmeisterwerk enthält. Links und rechts Styropor, das Interface in einer Schaumstoffhülle eingepackt - absolut transportsicher. Auf meinem Laptop hab ich zuhause die Software installiert (Download über die TASCAM Website, einfach das Interface bei Google eingeben) und mich schonmal über den Softwaremixer gefreut. Pro Kanal bietet er einen EQ, einen Kompressor, Phasendrehung, Solo, Mute und eine Link funktion um aus zwei Mono einen Stereo zu machen. Cool! Im Proberaum alles verkabelt (13 Kanäle für mein Drumset, davon vier Kleinmembraner und neun dynamische Mikrofone), wobei ich die Kanäle 9 bis 16 am Interface mit einem zusätzlichen Vorverstärker bestückt habe (SM Pro Audio PR 8 E). Alles mal kurz eingepegelt und in der DAW (Reaper) doch promt mal eine halbe Stunde drauf losgespielt. Nachher mal reingehört - bombastisch! Die erste Aufnahme war bei 44,1kHz und 16bit mit 1024 Samples. Keine Knackser, keine Mucken und das bei einem Samsung Laptop mit 2,1 GHz Dualcore, 4GB RAM und Win 10 64bit. Danach wollte cih dann mal Samplerate und Bittiefe ändern und bin fast verzweifelt. Die Treibersoftware fürs Interface ist ja schön und gut, aber warum hat TASCAM nicht die Möglichkeit zum Ändern von Samplerate und Bittiefe eingebaut? Ich musste das doch tatsächlich über die Windows Soundgerätesteuerung machen. Liebes TASCAM-Team, bitte nachbessern, denn darüber ließ sich immer noch nicht die Bittiefe ändern. Erst als ich auf die Idee kam, in Reaper die Projekteinstellungen zu setzen und 88,2kHz und 24bit zu "provozieren", hat das Interface auch brav mit diesen Werten digitalisiert. Das ist aus meiner Sicht das Einzige, das ich an dem Interface bemängeln muss. Bei einem Gerät für 270? erwarte ich, dass auch die Treibersoftware stimmig ist. Nachtrag 15.7.2016: Mittlerweile habe ich das Ratenproblem beseitigt. EInfach in meiner DAW für das Projekt Samplerate und Bittiefe einstellen und et voila - dit läuft! Inzwischen habe ich auch schon einen Konzertmischnitt mit 16 Kanälen über ca. 1h15min gemacht und es hat alles anstandslos aufgenommen. Im Proberaum, wenn ich mich beim Üben und sonstigen Schweinereien aufnehme, nutze ich gerne den Softwarekompresser auf den Bass Drums sowie den Toms. Er lässt sich super einstellen und klingt für meine belange auch recht subtil. Alles in allem absoluter Preis-Leistungssieger! Ansonsten noch das übliche: top Verarbeitung des Gerätes, die XLR-Buchsen sind zwar nicht verschraubt, aber die Stecker lassen sich butterweich ohen große Gewalt einstecken und halten dann auch sicher. Alles in allem ist das Gerät für dieses Geld unschlagbar. Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen, der mit dem Gedanken spielt. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder kaufen! Links: @Thedreasmate @_alessionocera

Iván Muy buenas Fran y Pere, primero os quisiera felicitar y agradecer toda la información que compartís en los podcast, espero que sigáis así mucho tiempo, gracias. Habéis tocado éste polémico tema en algún que otro podcast y aunque imagino que estareis un poco hartos, me gustaria dejar mi experiencia por aqui. En estos momentos tengo un PC con Windows 10 pero he tenido un Imac (un i5/4GB RAM creo que de las primeras generaciones donde aún no soldaban la RAM) del cual he disfrutado muchísimo, es mas, en mi opinión es el mejor Sistema Operativo del mundo en cuanto a ordenador de sobremesa/portatil se refiere, pues aparte de casi todos los Windows anteriores desde el 3.1 (incluso MS-DOS) también he sido usuario de la distribución Linux Ubuntu. Pero llegó un momento que queria un equipo mas potente e hice una comparativa en su dia la cuál acabo de repetir hoy 22/02/20. Me he metido en apple.com y he ido a Mac/iMac/Comprar para configurarme y presupuestarme un equipo. De los 3 modelos que muestra he elegido el central que a fecha de hoy marca 1499€ de precio inicial de salida, es un Retina 4k al que voy a ampliar para tener un equipo bien potente, le he cambiado el procesador por un i7 de 6 nucleos, 32 GB RAM (que ha supuesto un suplemento de 720 Euros, si si, no es broma), 1 TB SSD (otros 720 Euros, tampoco es broma), esto hace un total de 3259 Euros, adjunto captura de pantalla https://imgur.com/a/VSICiPj o podéis probarlo en https://www.apple.com/es/shop/buy-mac/imac/21,5-pulgadas-procesador-de-cuatro-n%C3%BAcleos-a-3,6-ghz-1tb# Luego me he ido a una conocida tienda de venta de PC’s (no pretendo hacer publicidad pero es http://www.coolmod.com) y me he construido un equipo similar tras consultar en la web oficial de Adobe las tarjetas aprobadas para usar en Photoshop (https://helpx.adobe.com/es/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html) me he decantado por una Nvidia GTX 1050 TI de 4 GB, y que según una web de benchmarks es algo superior a la Radeon Pro 555X (http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-Pro-555X-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti). He usado componentes de buena calidad, intentando evitar los económicos que traen los PC’s de grandes superficies: la fuente de alimentación silenciosa con certificacion 80 Plus Gold ya vale casi 100€, el disco duro SSD de Samsung es una gama media-alta del que ofrece 5 años de garantia su fabricante, Ram rápida con disipadores de calor, disipador de CPU también silencioso y de gran calidad y reconocimiento en el terreno de los Pc Gaming, Gráfica Nvidia 1050TI 4GB todo acompañado de un procesador i7 9700 de novena generación con 8 nucleos (frente a los 6 núcleos y octava generacion del iMac), hace un total de 1323,12 Euros, https://imgur.com/a/yp0u1jU . Pero aún falta el monitor, he encontrado por 487€ en Amazon el Benq de 27″ PD2700U 4K con gamut 100% sRGB que viene calibrado de fábrica al igual que el iMac (el cual lleva una 21,5″). Sumando el monitor hace un total de 1810,12 Euros siendo éste PC más potente en cuánto a hardware se refiere y con un monitor de mayor tamaño, estamos hablando de 1448,88 Euros, lo cuál da para un buen NAS, impresora, un buen teclado/ratón y tableta gráfica. Estaba temeroso de volver a Windows después de haber tenido Windows 98, XP, Vista de los que no era muy fan precisamente, pero ahora con Windows 10 me parece otra historia, han dado un salto cualitativo importante, se me acabaron los pantallazos azules que me encontraba con cierta frecuencia con las versiones anteriores del S.O y puedo confirmar que llevo 2 años sinformatear el PC, algo impensable para mi con versiones anteriores de Windows, a pesar de todo me sigue gustando Mac OS más que Windows, pero tampoco echo en falta nada a Windows para el uso que yo le daba al menos. Las diferencias de precios es un tema que a no ser que a uno no le suponga gran sacrificio, es para meditarlo muy bien. Gracias otra vez a los dos, y un fuerte abrazo. Iván.

Und es scheint wirklich zu stimmen, denn diesen Monat ist kein geringeres Spiel als Detroit Become Human gratis dabei. Bei Playstation Plus gibt es sogar die Digital Delux Edition incl. Heavy Rain und Soundtrack. Angeboten wird Sie im Store sonst für 69€, bei Amazon gibt es das Spiel alleine als Hard Copy immerhin für 28€. Lass dir mal was schenken Habt ihr ein Google Drive / Google One Abo? Dann solltet ihr mal die App auf euer Telefon laden und rein schauen. Derzeit verschenkt Google nämlich Google Home Minis. Die kosten zwar aktuell nur noch 34€, aber geschenkt ist geschenkt, oder?

Dies ist die neunte Folge unseres Avanet Podcasts rund ums Thema Sophos. In dieser Episode sprechen wir unter anderem über die SFOS MR5 und MR6 Releases, klären wichtige Fragen zu Central EDR-Lizenzen und berichten über ein paar Neuerungen in der Weiterentwicklung unserer Webseite. ## XG Firewall Sophos hat mit der Version 17.5 MR5 den APX 120 Support nachgereicht und in der MR6 wurden wichtige Sicherheitslücken im Exim-E-Mail-Server geschlossen. Im Moment besteht noch Handlungsbedarf für die TCP SACK PANIC Sicherheitslücke, wofür Sophos im Juli noch einen Patch bringen wird. Für das kommende SFOS v18 wird mindestens 4GB RAM benötigt, weshalb alle Benutzer, die eine Software-Lizenz für "1 CPU 2GB RAM" besitzen, ein kostenloses Update auf "1 CPU 4GB RAM" bekommen. Aus diesem Grund wurden ja [die Hardware-Produkte XG 85 und XG 105 bereits abgekündigt](https://www.avanet.com/blog/sophos-xg-85-und-xg-105-end-of-sale/). ## Sophos Central Im Themenbereich für Sophos Central sprechen wir in dieser Folge über ein Update des Central Firewall Managers, mit dem man nun auch Backups der Firewalls machen kann. Des Weiteren beantworten wir die Frage, [was euch Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) bringt](https://www.avanet.com/blog/wozu-endpoint-detection-and-response-edr/) und wann ihr es braucht. Wenn wir gleich beim Thema sind, erklären wir noch, dass [mit EDR keine Mischlizenzen mehr möglich sind](https://www.avanet.com/blog/sophos-central-server-keine-mischlizenzen-mit-edr/). Die Übernahme der Firma "Rook Security" Anfang Juni, kommt ebenfalls kurz zur Sprache. ## Avanet Shop Wir haben an unserer Webseite mal wieder ein paar Änderungen und Verbesserungen vorgenommen, über die wir in dieser Folge ausführlich sprechen. Ihr findet alle Informationen dazu auch in diesem Blogpost: [Avanet Shop: Umstellung auf Bruttopreise und Projektmeldung](https://www.avanet.com/blog/avanet-shop-umstellung-auf-bruttopreise-und-projektmeldung/)

Papers we love: ARC by Bryan Cantrill, SSD caching adventures with ZFS, OpenBSD full disk encryption setup, and a Perl5 Slack Syslog BSD daemon. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Papers We Love: ARC: A Self-Tuning, Low Overhead Replacement Cache (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8sZRBdmqc0&feature=youtu.be) Ever wondered how the ZFS ARC (Adaptive Replacement Cache) works? How about if Bryan Cantrill presented the original paper on its design? Today is that day. Slides (https://www.slideshare.net/bcantrill/papers-we-love-arc-after-dark) It starts by looking back at a fundamental paper from the 40s where the architecture of general-purpose computers are first laid out The main is the description of memory hierarchies, where you have a small amount of very fast memory, then the next level is slower but larger, and on and on. As we look at the various L1, L2, and L3 caches on a CPU, then RAM, then flash, then spinning disks, this still holds true today. The paper then does a survey of the existing caching policies and tries to explain the issues with each. This includes ‘MIN', which is the theoretically optimal policy, which requires future knowledge, but is useful for setting the upper bound, what is the best we could possibly do. The paper ends up showing that the ARC can end up being better than manually trying to pick the best number for the workload, because it adapts as the workload changes At about 1:25 into the video, Bryan start talking about the practical implementation of the ARC in ZFS, and some challenges they have run into recently at Joyent. A great discussion about some of the problems when ZFS needs to shrink the ARC. Not all of it applies 1:1 to FreeBSD because the kernel and the kmem implementation are different in a number of ways There were some interesting questions asked at the end as well *** How do I use man pages to learn how to use commands? (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/193837) nwildner on StackExchange has a very thorough answer to the question how to interpret man pages to understand complicated commands (xargs in this case, but not specifically). Have in mind what you want to do. When doing your research about xargs you did it for a purpose, right? You had a specific need that was reading standard output and executing commands based on that output. But, when I don't know which command I want? Use man -k or apropos (they are equivalent). If I don't know how to find a file: man -k file | grep search. Read the descriptions and find one that will better fit your needs. Apropos works with regular expressions by default, (man apropos, read the description and find out what -r does), and on this example I'm looking for every manpage where the description starts with "report". Always read the DESCRIPTION before starting Take a time and read the description. By just reading the description of the xargs command we will learn that: xargs reads from STDIN and executes the command needed. This also means that you will need to have some knowledge of how standard input works, and how to manipulate it through pipes to chain commands The default behavior is to act like /bin/echo. This gives you a little tip that if you need to chain more than one xargs, you don't need to use echo to print. We have also learned that unix filenames can contain blank and newlines, that this could be a problem and the argument -0 is a way to prevent things explode by using null character separators. The description warns you that the command being used as input needs to support this feature too, and that GNU find support it. Great. We use a lot of find with xargs. xargs will stop if exit status 255 is reached. Some descriptions are very short and that is generally because the software works on a very simple way. Don't even think of skipping this part of the manpage ;) Other things to pay attention... You know that you can search for files using find. There is a ton of options and if you only look at the SYNOPSIS, you will get overwhelmed by those. It's just the tip of the iceberg. Excluding NAME, SYNOPSIS, and DESCRIPTION, you will have the following sections: When this method will not work so well... + Tips that apply to all commands Some options, mnemonics and "syntax style" travel through all commands making you buy some time by not having to open the manpage at all. Those are learned by practice and the most common are: Generally, -v means verbose. -vvv is a variation "very very verbose" on some software. Following the POSIX standard, generally one dash arguments can be stacked. Example: tar -xzvf, cp -Rv. Generally -R and/or -r means recursive. Almost all commands have a brief help with the --help option. --version shows the version of a software. -p, on copy or move utilities means "preserve permissions". -y means YES, or "proceed without confirmation" in most cases. Default values of commands. At the pager chunk of this answer, we saw that less -is is the pager of man. The default behavior of commands are not always shown at a separated section on manpages, or at the section that is most top placed. You will have to read the options to find out defaults, or if you are lucky, typing /pager will lead you to that info. This also requires you to know the concept of the pager(software that scrolls the manpage), and this is a thing you will only acquire after reading lots of manpages. And what about the SYNOPSIS syntax? After getting all the information needed to execute the command, you can combine options, option-arguments and operands inline to make your job done. Overview of concepts: Options are the switches that dictates a command behavior. "Do this" "don't do this" or "act this way". Often called switches. Check out the full answer and see if it helps you better grasp the meaning of a man page and thus the command. *** My adventure into SSD caching with ZFS (Home NAS) (https://robertputt.co.uk/my-adventure-into-ssd-caching-with-zfs-home-nas.html) Robert Putt as written about his adventure using SSDs for caching with ZFS on his home NAS. Recently I decided to throw away my old defunct 2009 MacBook Pro which was rotting in my cupboard and I decided to retrieve the only useful part before doing so, the 80GB Intel SSD I had installed a few years earlier. Initially I thought about simply adding it to my desktop as a bit of extra space but in 2017 80GB really wasn't worth it and then I had a brainwave… Lets see if we can squeeze some additional performance out of my HP Microserver Gen8 NAS running ZFS by installing it as a cache disk. I installed the SSD to the cdrom tray of the Microserver using a floppy disk power to SATA power converter and a SATA cable, unfortunately it seems the CD ROM SATA port on the motherboard is only a 3gbps port although this didn't matter so much as it was an older 3gbps SSD anyway. Next I booted up the machine and to my suprise the disk was not found in my FreeBSD install, then I realised that the SATA port for the CD drive is actually provided by the RAID controller, so I rebooted into intelligent provisioning and added an additional RAID0 array with just the 1 disk to act as my cache, in fact all of the disks in this machine are individual RAID0 arrays so it looks like just a bunch of disks (JBOD) as ZFS offers additional functionality over normal RAID (mainly scrubbing, deduplication and compression). Configuration Lets have a look at the zpool before adding the cache drive to make sure there are no errors or uglyness: Now lets prep the drive for use in the zpool using gpart. I want to split the SSD into two seperate partitions, one for L2ARC (read caching) and one for ZIL (write caching). I have decided to split the disk into 20GB for ZIL and 50GB for L2ARC. Be warned using 1 SSD like this is considered unsafe because it is a single point of failure in terms of delayed writes (a redundant configuration with 2 SSDs would be more appropriate) and the heavy write cycles on the SSD from the ZIL is likely to kill it over time. Now it's time to see if adding the cache has made much of a difference. I suspect not as my Home NAS sucks, it is a HP Microserver Gen8 with the crappy Celeron CPU and only 4GB RAM, anyway, lets test it and find out. First off lets throw fio at the mount point for this zpool and see what happens both with the ZIL and L2ARC enabled and disabled. Observations Ok, so the initial result is a little dissapointing, but hardly unexpected, my NAS sucks and there are lots of bottle necks, CPU, memory and the fact only 2 of the SATA ports are 6gbps. There is no real difference performance wise in comparison between the results, the IOPS, bandwidth and latency appear very similar. However lets bare in mind fio is a pretty hardcore disk benchmark utility, how about some real world use cases? Next I decided to test a few typical file transactions that this NAS is used for, Samba shares to my workstation. For the first test I wanted to test reading a 3GB file over the network with both the cache enabled and disabled, I would run this multiple times to ensure the data is hot in the L2ARC and to ensure the test is somewhat repeatable, the network itself is an uncongested 1gbit link and I am copying onto the secondary SSD in my workstation. The dataset for these tests has compression and deduplication disabled. Samba Read Test Not bad once the data becomes hot in the L2ARC cache reads appear to gain a decent advantage compared to reading from the disk directly. How does it perform when writing the same file back accross the network using the ZIL vs no ZIL. Samba Write Test Another good result in the real world test, this certainately helps the write transfer speed however I do wonder what would happen if you filled the ZIL transferring a very large file, however this is unlikely with my use case as I typically only deal with a couple of files of several hundred megabytes at any given time so a 20GB ZIL should suit me reasonably well. Is ZIL and L2ARC worth it? I would imagine with a big beefy ZFS server running in a company somewhere with a large disk pool and lots of users with multiple enterprise level SSD ZIL and L2ARC would be well worth the investment, however at home I am not so sure. Yes I did see an increase in read speeds with cached data and a general increase in write speeds however it is use case dependant. In my use case I rarely access the same file frequently, my NAS primarily serves as a backup and for archived data, and although the write speeds are cool I am not sure its a deal breaker. If I built a new home NAS today I'd probably concentrate the budget on a better CPU, more RAM (for ARC cache) and more disks. However if I had a use case where I frequently accessed the same files and needed to do so in a faster fashion then yes, I'd probably invest in an SSD for caching. I think if you have a spare SSD lying around and you want something fun todo with it, sure chuck it in your ZFS based NAS as a cache mechanism. If you were planning on buying an SSD for caching then I'd really consider your needs and decide if the money can be spent on alternative stuff which would improve your experience with your NAS. I know my NAS would benefit more from an extra stick of RAM and a more powerful CPU, but as a quick evening project with some parts I had hanging around adding some SSD cache was worth a go. More Viewer Interview Questions for Allan News Roundup Setup OpenBSD 6.2 with Full Disk Encryption (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/setup-openbsd-with-full-disk-encryption/) Here is a quick way to setup (in 7 steps) OpenBSD 6.2 with the encryption of the filesystem. First step: Boot and start the installation: (I)nstall: I Keyboard Layout: ENTER (I'm french so in my case I took the FR layout) Leave the installer with: ! Second step: Prepare your disk for encryption. Using a SSD, my disk is named : sd0, the name may vary, for example : wd0. Initiating the disk: Configure your volume: Now we'll use bioctl to encrypt the partition we created, in this case : sd0a (disk sd0 + partition « a »). Enter your passphrase. Third step: Let's resume the OpenBSD's installer. We follow the install procedure Fourth step: Partitioning of the encrypted volume. We select our new volume, in this case: sd1 The whole disk will be used: W(hole) Let's create our partitions: NB: You are more than welcome to create multiple partitions for your system. Fifth step: System installation It's time to choose how we'll install our system (network install by http in my case) Sixth step: Finalize the installation. Last step: Reboot and start your system. Put your passphrase. Welcome to OpenBSD 6.2 with a full encrypted file system. Optional: Disable the swap encryption. The swap is actually part of the encrypted filesystem, we don't need OpenBSD to encrypt it. Sysctl is giving us this possibility. Step-by-Step FreeBSD installation with ZFS and Full Disk Encryption (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/step-by-step-freebsd-installation-with-full-disk-encryption/) 1. What do I need? For this tutorial, the installation has been made on a Intel Core i7 - AMD64 architecture. On a USB key, you would probably use this link : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/11.1/FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img If you can't do a network installation, you'd better use this image : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/11.1/FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img You can write the image file on your USB device (replace XXXX with the name of your device) using dd : # dd if=FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img of=/dev/XXXX bs=1m 2.

Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F5.png) 5. Network configuration: Select the network interface you want to configure. Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F6.png) First, we configure our IPv4 network. I used a static adress so you can see how it works, but you can use DHCP for an automated configuration, it depends of what you want to do with your system (desktop/server) Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F7.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F7-1.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F8.png) IPv6 network configuration. Same as for IPv4, you can use SLAAC for an automated configuration.

Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F11.png) 6. Select the server you want to use for the installation: I always use the IPv6 mirror to ensure that my IPv6 network configuration is good.Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F12.png) 7. Disk configuration: As we want to do an easy full disk encryption, we'll use ZFS. Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F13.png) Make sure to select the disk encryption :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F14.png) Launch the disk configuration :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F15.png) Here everything is normal, you have to select the disk you'll use :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F16.png) I have only one SSD disk named da0 :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F17.png) Last chance before erasing your disk :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F18.png) Time to choose the password you'll use to start your system : Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F19.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F20.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F21.png) 8. Last steps to finish the installation: The installer will download what you need and what you selected previously (ports, src, etc.) to create your system: Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F22.png) 8.1. Root password: Enter your root password: Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F22-1.png) 8.2. Time and date: Set your timezone, in my case: Europe/France Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F22-2.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F23.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F23-1.png) Make sure the date and time are good, or you can change them :Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F24.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F25.png) 8.3. Services: Select the services you'll use at system startup depending again of what you want to do. In many cases powerd and ntpd will be useful, sshd if you're planning on using FreeBSD as a server. Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26.png) 8.4. Security: Security options you want to enable. You'll still be able to change them after the installation with sysctl. Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-1.png) 8.5. Additionnal user: Create an unprivileged system user: Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-2.png) Make sure your user is in the wheel group so he can use the su command. Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-3.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-4.png) 8.6. The end: End of your configuration, you can still do some modifications if you want : Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-5.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-6.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F26-7.png) 9. First boot: Enter the passphrase you have chosen previously : Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F27.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F28.png) & Screenshot (https://blog.cagedmonster.net/content/images/2017/09/F29.png) Welcome to Freebsd 11.1 with full disk encryption! *** The anatomy of ldd program on OpenBSD (http://nanxiao.me/en/the-anatomy-of-ldd-program-on-openbsd/) In the past week, I read the ldd (https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/libexec/ld.so/ldd/ldd.c) source code on OpenBSD to get a better understanding of how it works. And this post should also be a reference for other*NIX OSs. The ELF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format) file is divided into 4 categories: relocatable, executable, shared, and core. Only the executable and shared object files may have dynamic object dependencies, so the ldd only check these 2 kinds of ELF file: (1) Executable. ldd leverages the LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS environment variable in fact, and the code is as following: if (setenv("LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS", "true", 1) < 0) err(1, "setenv(LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS)"); When LDTRACELOADED_OBJECTS is set to 1 or true, running executable file will show shared objects needed instead of running it, so you even not needldd to check executable file. See the following outputs: $ /usr/bin/ldd usage: ldd program ... $ LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /usr/bin/ldd Start End Type Open Ref GrpRef Name 00000b6ac6e00000 00000b6ac7003000 exe 1 0 0 /usr/bin/ldd 00000b6dbc96c000 00000b6dbcc38000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libc.so.89.3 00000b6d6ad00000 00000b6d6ad00000 rtld 0 1 0 /usr/libexec/ld.so (2) Shared object. The code to print dependencies of shared object is as following: if (ehdr.e_type == ET_DYN && !interp) { if (realpath(name, buf) == NULL) { printf("realpath(%s): %s", name, strerror(errno)); fflush(stdout); _exit(1); } dlhandle = dlopen(buf, RTLD_TRACE); if (dlhandle == NULL) { printf("%sn", dlerror()); fflush(stdout); _exit(1); } _exit(0); } Why the condition of checking a ELF file is shared object or not is like this: if (ehdr.e_type == ET_DYN && !interp) { ...... } That's because the file type of position-independent executable (PIE) is the same as shared object, but normally PIE contains a interpreter program header since it needs dynamic linker to load it while shared object lacks (refer this article). So the above condition will filter PIE file. The dlopen(buf, RTLD_TRACE) is used to print dynamic object information. And the actual code is like this: if (_dl_traceld) { _dl_show_objects(); _dl_unload_shlib(object); _dl_exit(0); } In fact, you can also implement a simple application which outputs dynamic object information for shared object yourself: # include int main(int argc, char **argv) { dlopen(argv[1], RTLD_TRACE); return 0; } Compile and use it to analyze /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2: $ cc lddshared.c $ ./a.out /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2 Start End Type Open Ref GrpRef Name 000010e2df1c5000 000010e2df41a000 dlib 1 0 0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2 000010e311e3f000 000010e312209000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.41.1 The same as using ldd directly: $ ldd /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2 /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2: Start End Type Open Ref GrpRef Name 00001d9ffef08000 00001d9fff15d000 dlib 1 0 0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.43.2 00001d9ff1431000 00001d9ff17fb000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.41.1 Through the studying of ldd source code, I also get many by-products: such as knowledge of ELF file, linking and loading, etc. So diving into code is a really good method to learn *NIX deeper! Perl5 Slack Syslog BSD daemon (https://clinetworking.wordpress.com/2017/10/13/perl5-slack-syslog-bsd-daemon/) So I have been working on my little Perl daemon for a week now. It is a simple syslog daemon that listens on port 514 for incoming messages. It listens on a port so it can process log messages from my consumer Linux router as well as the messages from my server. Messages that are above alert are sent, as are messages that match the regex of SSH or DHCP (I want to keep track of new connections to my wifi). The rest of the messages are not sent to slack but appended to a log file. This is very handy as I can get access to info like failed ssh logins, disk failures, and new devices connecting to the network all on my Android phone when I am not home. Screenshot (https://clinetworking.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/screenshot_2017-10-13-23-00-26.png) The situation arose today that the internet went down and I thought to myself what would happen to all my important syslog messages when they couldn't be sent? Before the script only ran an eval block on the botsend() function. The error was returned, handled, but nothing was done and the unsent message was discarded. So I added a function that appended unsent messengers to an array that are later sent when the server is not busy sending messages to slack. Slack has a limit of one message per second. The new addition works well and means that if the internet fails my server will store these messages in memory and resend them at a rate of one message per second when the internet connectivity returns. It currently sends the newest ones first but I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature at this point! It currently works with my Linux based WiFi router and my FreeBSD server. It is easy to scale as all you need to do is send messages to syslog to get them sent to slack. You could sent CPU temp, logged in users etc. There is a github page: https://github.com/wilyarti/slackbot Lscpu for OpenBSD/FreeBSD (http://nanxiao.me/en/lscpu-for-openbsdfreebsd/) Github Link (https://github.com/NanXiao/lscpu) There is a neat command, lscpu, which is very handy to display CPU information on GNU/Linux OS: $ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 32 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-31 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 8 Socket(s): 2 But unfortunately, the BSD OSs lack this command, maybe one reason is lscpu relies heavily on /proc file system which BSD don't provide, :-). TakeOpenBSD as an example, if I want to know CPU information, dmesg should be one choice: $ dmesg | grep -i cpu cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz, 2527.35 MHz cpu0: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM, PBE,SSE3,DTES64,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,SSE4.1,XSAVE,NXE,LONG,LAHF,PERF,SENSOR cpu0: 3MB 64b/line 8-way L2 cache cpu0: apic clock running at 266MHz cpu0: mwait min=64, max=64, C-substates=0.2.2.2.2.1.3, IBE But the output makes me feeling messy, not very clear. As for dmidecode, it used to be another option, but now can't work out-of-box because it will access /dev/mem which for security reason, OpenBSD doesn't allow by default (You can refer this discussion): $ ./dmidecode $ dmidecode 3.1 Scanning /dev/mem for entry point. /dev/mem: Operation not permitted Based on above situation, I want a specified command for showing CPU information for my BSD box. So in the past 2 weeks, I developed a lscpu program for OpenBSD/FreeBSD, or more accurately, OpenBSD/FreeBSD on x86 architecture since I only have some Intel processors at hand. The application getsCPU metrics from 2 sources: (1) sysctl functions. The BSD OSs provide sysctl interface which I can use to get general CPU particulars, such as how many CPUs the system contains, the byte-order of CPU, etc. (2) CPUID instruction. For x86 architecture, CPUID instruction can obtain very detail information of CPU. This coding work is a little tedious and error-prone, not only because I need to reference both Intel and AMD specifications since these 2 vendors have minor distinctions, but also I need to parse the bits of register values. The code is here (https://github.com/NanXiao/lscpu), and if you run OpenBSD/FreeBSD on x86 processors, please try it. It will be better you can give some feedback or report the issues, and I appreciate it very much. In the future if I have other CPUs resource, such as ARM or SPARC64, maybe I will enrich this small program. *** Beastie Bits OpenBSD Porting Workshop - Brian Callahan will be running an OpenBSD porting workshop in NYC for NYC*BUG on December 6, 2017.

In this week's episode, we talk about the most interesting smartphones either on the market, or those coming soon. Specifically, Daniel, Doug, Ian and Jane chat about the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the iPhone 6, the Moto X+1, the HTC W8 for Windows, Microsoft's upcoming 'selfie' phone, the Nexus 6 and, of course, the OnePlus One controversy. Galaxy Note 4 rumours -- potentially curved-edged display, 4GB RAM, UV sensor iPhone 6 rumours - bigger screen, faster chip, better camera. What else? Motorola launching Moto X+1, Moto G2, Moto 360 and more on September 4th New Microsoft/Nokia devices coming at IFA -- Is PureView still relevant? HTC Windows Phone -- does it have a chance? OnePlus One -- is this device still relevant given all the bad press? Is OnePlus sexist or just plain stupid? Nexus 6 going to be a 5.9-inch 1080p device?

Das Trouble-Video in Form. Es gab nicht nur tausende Outtakes, sondern auch noch zahlreiche Programmabstürze meines Computers. Ich verwende einen 3,2 GHz-Prozessor und 4GB RAM, und es funktioniert trotzdem nicht. Dafür habe ich das jetzt dann nur in ein 720p-Format konvertiert und leider auch nur 47 Dinge. Um die Datei kleiner zu machen. Insgesamt hat diese ganze Kacke 1 Monat gekostet, also... VIEL SPASS BEIM GUCKEN!!! (Kommentieren Erwünscht!!!)

Which Sim? From Alex Hi all you guys, If i were going to use a flight simulator platform for general aviation flying, would it be logical to use x-plane or FSX? I know x-plane is more realistic in terms of aerodynamics, but the aircraft graphics are pathetic, compared to some pay-ware from FSX (carenado for example) However FSX is much more detailed in graphics, but in FSX, the aerodynamics are unrealistic because you just tell the airplane how fast it goes, how steep it can turn(as far as i know, correct me if i am wrong ;) ) Any ideas? Cheers Alex Screenshot Program for FSX and FS9 on Win7 Eric, On your first video brodcast I asked if you were having trouble with screenshots on your new PC running Windows7. You said you were. Will I found one that works with both FSX and FS9. Its a program called Aeroshot Image Capture. You can download it from FSPilotShop. It's only $18.00. I've attached some screenshots taken in FSX and FS9. The program works great. You can set where to save your pics, and in what format.It uses your printsren key, and does not pause your fightsim. I gives a sound to let you know it captured your shot. Check it out. http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=153&products_id=1594 Aeroshot Image Capture (AEF-230) = $18.00 From Phil PS, Chris recommends PicNik for online photo editing. Airplane Recommendations Hey Guys, I really like your show. I would like to recommend to aircrafts, both were released on Dec 25, I don't think they were mentioned during your show. Both aircrafts are products of love. First one is the Westland Lysander, I was captivated by its unique looks, and bought it right away. It has really amazing history - RAF used them to drop and pick up agents in France during WWII. It is easy to fly, but hard to land, great aircraft!! http://fsaddon.eu/wpfsaddon/fsaddon-products/lysander-secret-operations/ The second one is Cessna O-1/L-19 - I just got this one today, activation process (Copy protection is not so great), but overall aircraft is very nice. http://www.sibwings.com/birddog.php Thank you, Ilya From the forums: SimCheck A300 Hey don't forget to mention the new Simcheck A300 airplane available from Aerosoft... truly awesome aircraft! From BionicCrab Aircraft Features: http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,11145   TweakFS Recommendation from George Hi guys Happy New Year from the other side of the pond, were it is freezing cold, and I am buried in about 20cms of snow. Some time ago, in a previous email or voicemail, I mentioned a suite of products for both FS10 and FSX from Australia, which can be found at www.tweakfs.com The utilities are mainly about providing you with tools that make it easy for you to tweak your Flight Sim. I have had these utilities for some time now - but like most things, the more you explore the more you find. One that I would like to suggest as a 'hot' pick, is TweakFlight, which is available for both FS10 and FSX for US$24.95.What is even better is that you can download a demo version for 30 days For those simmers that like setting up scenarios or approaches, this allows you to do it all within a few key strokes, and you can continue to tweak it as and when you want. The navigation bar at the top covers 9 screens, all with different parameters that can be set for your flight, which can then be saved and edited at will. The screens cover:- Main - Title, description, date, time, camera views and aircraft position. This is neat, as you can select your position by just double clicking on a zoomable and moveable map, and set your height, heading and speed - just so cool. Autopilot - any of the functions of the autopilot can be preset Engines - for each engine you can set, Throttle, Prop, Mixture, RPM and Cowl and synchronise (or not) the engines Avionics - Set Master Switch, Com Radios, Nav Radios, ADF/Transponder, and DME/Audio Controls - Set spoilers, flaps, gear,brakes,yoke/rudder and trim Systems - choose which systems and lights you want on or off Fuel - quickly and simply set your fuel levels either by centre, left or right tanks or synchronise by % General - gives you the options to display or not, things like EFIS, ATC menu, simulation rate etc etc Briefing - create your own briefing notes - although this looks like you need some knowledge of HTML If you do decide to try it - I hope you get as much enjoyment as I have had Happy New Year to the Community http://secure.simmarket.com/tweakfs-tweakflight-fsx.phtml USB video card + flight sim = terrible, terrible idea   Hi Eric, Just a quick note: I can't speak for flight sim, but for X-Plane, no user should ever attempt to put any kind of X-Plane output onto a USB video card! The performance will be truly dreadful. X-Plan requires a "real" graphics card, meaning: - A graphics card that has a high quality 3-d accelerator on it and - that graphics card has to be in a slot wide enough for x-plane to just blast it with data. PCIe x16 is really a must, PCIe x16 2.0 is even better. USB is waaaay too slow. Yep...the processing has to come from somewhere. :-) It's a very smart idea for low-end computers...where the goal is to bring down price, where the CPU is already over-powered, where casual users probably aren't even using the second CPU. It's similar to what happened with sound cards...there's just no point in shipping sound cards with DSPs any more - that DSP is one more part, $20 more of cost (and that matters now, things are so cheap) when the second core can do sound mixing with 3% of its capacity. Of course, as flight simmers this sucks because it means the mainstream trend in hw (and what "most" new users who get a flight sim will already own) is a machine inappropriate to running FS X or x-plane. If I browse Dell's site, I can't even find the _option_ to put an ATI or NV card in most of the time, and when you do find a video card you find ... ... wait for it ... Radeon 4350 NVideo Geforce GTS 240 (You will find the 4350 at the BOTTOM of the 4xxx list - it is the most stripped down config. Surprisingly the GTS 240 isn't the bottom of the NV barrel, but being two levels down from the "real" part, the 280, it's going to be terrible for flight sim.) So a user who tries to build a "nice" machine before getting into flight sim is going to pay more and still get a machine that tanks. Sigh... cheers Ben   Answer to last week's Question About Object Placing   I was listening to your show last night (great show BTW) and i heard someone was looking for a freeware object placer. Now i use Instant scenery for my scenery design which is great if you want to spend the money before i brought Instant scenery i got this freeware one recommend to me. http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?whisplacer it's called whisplacer, it basically just uses the object libraries you've got in your FSX installation and im sure that there is a nav becon in one of the libaries that he could use. so try it out Cheers, Mitchell Sale OZx Developer   From the forum: Show Suggestions from Flinty72 G'Day FSBreak Crew, Loving the show especially the live broadcasts which I was lucky enough to catch the end of today. So I had an idea recently for the show and wanted to put it out to you guys for consideration. Not that I think the shows needs revamping but consider it a possible enhancement, if you think it is worthy... Anyway it struck me that each of you have specific areas of great knowledge & experience within the show. Now what if each you had a dedicated segment in the show to these areas? These segments could then be included into the show in different ways, either all segments each week, fortnightly or monthly or on a rolling rotation making it a monthly cycle between each indiovidual segment. Here is what I had in mind; "Eric's PC Hardware & Software Roundup" (related to flightsimming and PC performance) "Mark's Multisim Persepective" (X-plane, ORBITER, etc.) &/or "GA Flying Instruction Tutorial" (like the recent flying the traffic pattern video discussion) "Brendan's All Things Tubeliner's" (Products, Flying Tips, VA Operations) "Danton's Community Coverage & Super Slueth Inside Scoops" (Community & Developer Rumblings, VATSIM & Other FS Events) Anyway let me know what you think, maybe other listeners have better ideas as well...? Keep up the great work. Flinty. Recommendations Eric: Asus USB 3.0 and SATA III PCI Express Card, and Android Air Control. Chris: http://www.twitter.com   PS, we have recieved this release for the newest editing of the MyCockpit.org podcast. A great way to get more in depth coverage on cockpit building in podcast form: Mycockpit.org, the worlds largest community for home cockpit builders is proud to announce two new Podcasts, in association with FSBreak.net.    1. "Tips And Discussions" 2nd Edition, with Ian.  In this Edition of "Tips And Discussions", we talk to the famous Ian, well know for his wonderful B737 project. In this edition we talk all about "Inputs"   2. "Builder Of The Month" for February 2010, Shawn Lund.   Shawn is the creator of an unique project, someone who has chosen something different, since he is not exactly a home cockpit builder but I am sure we can draw a lot of inspiration from his approach..   MyCockpit Podcast can be found here:  http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/content.php?8   Mycockpit continues in the future with further Podcast editions of "Tips And Discussions," Feature Interviews" and "Builder Of the Month" interviews
