George Campbell was a not a physician — but he had the largest practice in town caring for everyone! His speciality was fundraising. George spearheaded campaigns that raised over $40 million to provide the best hospital facilities with state-of-the-art technology. Recently, George was admitted to the BGH where he was born — this time in one of the comfortable palliative care suites built with money he raised.

And Jake reveals why he was not allowed to be a nurse in war zones!

A hulking presence at 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds, Battery Creek senior Padric Payne has a confession. He's the second-smallest starter on the Dolphins' offensive line. “Yeah,” Payne says. “We're pretty big up front.” The Dolphins hope improved size, experience, and depth in the trenches will be the key to a winning season in 2019. Battery Creek appeared to be on its way in coach Walter Wilson's first season in 2017, going 4-6, but they slid backwards last season, winning only two games. “I have never been so humbled in my life,” Wilson said. “Sometimes you need that, because it gets you to look at the little tiny things that you may overlook when you felt you were on the way.” With the humility came a renewed work ethic and attention to detail, as well as a commitment to get back to basics. With running back Trey Booth back in the fold and working behind that powerful offensive line, as well as a number of key returners on defense led by defensive end Brandon Wilson, the Dolphins' gameplan will be simple. “Our plan is to play defense and run the ball,” Walter Wilson said. “That ain't hard.” BATTERY CREEK DOLPHINS FOOTBALL Coach: Walter WilsonRecord at BCHS: 6-15 (3rd season)2018 record: 2-9 overall, 2-2 region (lost in first round of Class 3A playoffs)Returning starters: 12Offensive scheme: 21 personnelDefensive scheme: 4-3Top returners: DE/TE Brandon Wilson, WR/DB Kyseem Jabbar, WR/DB Elijah Dean, LB Justin Smalls, OL/DL Lucas Kinsey, OL/DL Toddie GrayNotable losses: LB/K Brandon Benke, WR Denarol Brown, QB/DB Jordan Gwyn PLAYER TO WATCH Trey Booth, RB: A powerful runner who carried the Dolphins to a win over May River two years ago, Booth sat out last season but is back for his senior campaign. With sophomore Jacove Anderson taking over at quarterback, Booth will be the focal point of the offense and have a chance to put up big numbers behind a bulky offensive line. BURNING QUESTION Can the Dolphins stop the run? Wilson is excited to have enough depth on the line to avoid having linemen play both ways, but the question is whether there's enough quality to shut down the strong running teams at the top of the region. If the Dolphins can answer in the affirmative, it could be a special season. REGION AND BEYOND May River and Wade Hampton begin the season ranked in the top 10 in Class 3A, but they both have big holes to fill from last season. The Dolphins are in as good a position as anyone to be the team to close the gap and challenge for the region title.

In the end the author chose OpenVPN because you can select the port it runs on, and it has a better chance of working from hotel or coffee shop WiFi. The guide them walks through doing an installation on an encrypted disk, with a caution about the limitations of encrypted disk with virtual machines hosted by other parties. The guide then locks down the newly installed system, configuring SSH for keys only, adding some PF rules, and configuring doas Then networking is configured, including enabling IP forwarding since this machine is going to act as the VPN gateway Then a large set of firewall rules are created that NAT the VPN traffic out of the gateway, except for DNS requests that are redirected to the gateways local unbound Then some python scripts are provided to block brute force attempts We will use DNSCrypt to make our DNS requests encrypted, and Unbound to have a local DNS cache. This will allow us to avoid using our VPS provider DNS servers, and will also be useful to your future VPN clients which will be able to use your VPN server as their DNS server too Before configuring Unbound, which is the local DNS cache which will make requests to dnscrypt_proxy, we can configure an additional dnscrypt instance, as explained in the pkg readme. Indeed, dnscrypt DNS servers being public ones, they often goes into maintenance, become offline or temporarily unreachable. To address this issue, it is possible to setup multiple dnscrypt instances. Below are the steps to follow to add one, but you can add more if you wish Then a CA and Certificate are created for OpenVPN OpenVPN is installed and configured as a server Configuration is also provided for a client, and a mobile client Thanks to the author for this great tutorial You might also want to check out this section from their 2015 version of this post: Security vs Anonymity (https://networkfilter.blogspot.nl/2015/01/be-your-own-vpn-provider-with-openbsd.html#security_anonymity) *** Essen Hackathon Trip - Benedict Reuschling (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/2017-essen-hackathon-trip-report-benedict-reuschling/) Over on the FreeBSD Foundation Blog, Benedict provides a detailed overview of the Essen Hackathon we were at a few weeks ago.

And this statement was exactly 140 characters, but sometimes I want to say more than that. And that's why I finally created this new blog. I was never really into blogging because I barely had time or the audience to write long articles. I sometimes wrote short stories for sites like undeadly.org, I collected some of them here, but my own blog was hosted on tumblr and never saw any activity. I want to try it again, and this time I decided to create a self-hosted blog. Something that runs on my own server and with httpd, the web server that I wrote for OpenBSD. So I was looking for potential blogging tools that I could use to run my own blog. Besides the popular and heavyweight ones such as WordPress, there are countless other options: I looked at blogs from fellow developers, such as Ted Unangst's flak (I like the fact that it is written in Lua but the implementation is a bit over my head), or Pelican that is used by Peter Hessler for bad.network (but, sorry, I don't like Python), and finally Kristaps Dzonsons' sblg that is used for all of his projects and blogs. I decided to use sblg. Kristaps keeps on releasing very useful free software. Most well-known is mandoc, at least everyone is using it for manpages these days, but there is is also his BCHS (beaches) web stack which strongly advertises OpenBSD's httpd. Great. I also use kcgi whenever I have to write small CGIs. So sblg seemed like the right choice to me. Let me quickly iterate over my current Makefile. I keep on tweaking this file, so it might have been changed by the time you are reading this article. Please note that the Makefile is written for OpenBSD's make, a distant derivative of pmake which is not like GNU make. I'm not a designer or web developer, but I appreciate good looking web pages. I wanted to have something that is responsive, works on desktops and mobiles, looks somewhat modern, works without JavaScript, but doesn't disqualify me for all the eye candy from a geek point of view. I bootstrapped the theme by creating a simple grid layout with a fairly typical blog style: banner, top menu, middle text, sidebar. In 2017, bootstrap is probably a vintage (or retro) framework but it makes it very easy to create responsive pages with a proper layout and without caring about all the CSS and HTML5 madness too much. I also use Font Awesome because it is awesome, provides some fancy icons, and was suggested in sblg's example templates (let's blame Kristaps for it). I do not include any JavaScript which prevents me from using bootstrap's responsive hamburger menu. I have to admit that "reykfloeter" is not an ideal name for a blog. My actual name is "Reyk Flöter", and I normally just use my first name "reyk" as a user- and nickname, but it was taken when I registered my Twitter account and the related domain. So I picked reykfloeter in a few places. I'm aware that my German last name is nearly unpronounceable for others, so "reykfloeter" appears like a random concatenation of letters. As most of us, I own a number of domains and maybe I should move the blog to bsd.plumbing (which is used as a home for relayd and httpd), arc4random.com (but I intended to use it as a fine OpenBSD-powered Entropy-as-a-Service for poor Linuxers), or even copper.coffee? In addition to the domain, I also need a good blog name or tag line. A very memorable example in the BSD world is Peter Hansteen's THAT GRUMPY BSD GUY blog. So what should I use? Reyk Flöter's blog OpenBSD hacker. Coffee nerd. Founder. Ask Reyk (imaginary how-tos and 10 step guides) Sewage, Drainage and BSD Plumbing (bsd.plumbing/blog) A Replacement Call for Random (arc4random.com) Coffee with Reyk (copper.coffee) For now it will just be reykfloeter - blog iXsystems releases the X10 (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/serverenvy-truenas-x10/) TrueNAS X10 is the the 3rd generation of the TrueNAS unified storage line. The X10 is the first of a new TrueNAS series, and will be expandable to up to 360TB with the TrueNAS ES12 expansion shelf. The X10 is cost effective, at a 30% lower price point than the Z20, making it an effective addition to your backup/DR infrastructure. The street price of a 20TB non-HA model falls under $10K. It's designed to move with six predefined configurations that match common use cases. The dual controllers for high availability are an optional upgrade to ensure business continuity and avoid downtime. The X10 boasts 36 hot swap SAS using two expansion shelves, for up to 360TB of storage, allowing you to backup thousands of VMs or share tens of thousands of files. One of the use cases for TrueNAS X10 is for backup, so users can upgrade the X10 to two ports of blazing 10GigE connectivity. The 20TB non-HA model enables you to backup over 7,000 VDI VMs for under $3.00 per VM. Overall, the X10 is a greener solution than the TrueNAS Z product line, with the non-HA version boasting only 138 watts of power and taking up only 2U of space. Best of all, the TrueNAS X10 starts at $5,500 street. You can purchase a 120TB configuration today for under $20K street. Glob Matching Can Be Simple And Fast Too (https://research.swtch.com/glob) Here's a straightforward benchmark. Time how long it takes to run ls (a)nb in a directory with a single file named a100, compared to running ls | grep (a.)nb. Superscripts denote string repetition and parentheses are for grouping only, so that when n is 3, we're running ls aaab in a directory containing the single file aaa…aaa (100 a's), compared against ls | grep a.a.a.b in the same directory. The exception seems to be the original Berkeley csh, which runs in linear time (more precisely, time linear in n). Looking at the source code, it doesn't attempt to perform glob expansion itself. Instead it calls the C library implementation glob(3), which runs in linear time, at least on this Linux system. So maybe we should look at programming language implementations too. Most programming languages provide some kind of glob expansion, like C's glob. Let's repeat the experiment in a variety of different programming languages: Perhaps the most interesting fact evident in the graph is that GNU glibc, the C library used on Linux systems, has a linear-time glob implementation, but BSD libc, the C library used on BSD and macOS systems, has an exponential-time implementation. PHP is not shown in the graph, because its glob function simply invokes the host C library's glob(3), so that it runs in linear time on Linux and in exponential time on non-Linux systems. (I have not tested what happens on Windows.) All the languages shown in the graph, however, implement glob matching without using the host C library, so the results should not vary by host operating system. The netkit ftpd runs quickly on Linux because it relies on the host C library's glob function. If run on BSD, the netkit ftpd would take exponential time. ProFTPD ships a copy of the glibc glob, so it should run quickly even on BSD systems. Ironically, Pure-FTPd and tnftpd take exponential time on Linux because they ship a copy of the BSD glob function. Presumably they do this to avoid assuming that the host C library is bug-free, but, at least in this one case, the host C library is better than the one they ship. Additional Reading This post is an elaboration of an informal 2012 Google+ post showing that most shells used exponential-time glob expansion. At the time, Tom Duff, the author of Plan 9's rc shell, commented that, “I can confirm that rc gets it wrong. My excuse, feeble as it is, is that doing it that way meant that the code took 10 minutes to write, but it took 20 years for someone to notice the problem. (That's 10 ‘programmer minutes', i.e. less than a day.)” I agree that's a reasonable decision for a shell. In contrast, a language library routine, not to mention a network server, today needs to be robust against worst-case inputs that might be controlled by remote attackers, but nearly all of the code in question predates that kind of concern. I didn't realize the connection to FTP servers until I started doing additional research for this post and came across a reference to CVE-2010-2632 in FreeBSD's glob implementation. BSD VPS Providers Needed (https://torbsd.github.io/blog.html#bsd-vps) One of TDP's recent projects is accumulating a list of virtual private server services (VPS) that provide a BSD option. VPS's are generally inexpensive services that enable the user to only concern themselves with software configuration, and not be bothered with hardware or basic operating system setup. In the pre-Cloud era, VPS providers were the “other people's computers” that users outsourced their systems to. The same shortcomings of cloud services apply to VPS providers. You don't control the hardware. Your files are likely viewable by users up the directory hierarchy. The entropy source or pool is a single source for multiple systems. The same time drift applies to all time-keeping services. Nevertheless, VPS services are often cheap and provide a good spread in terms of geography. All a provider really needs is a few server-grade computers and a decent network connection. VPS's are still a gateway drug to bare-metal servers, although it seems more and more of these gateway users stop at stage one. Cheap systems with a public IP are also a great way to tinker with a new operating system. For this reason, TDP created this list of BSD VPS providers. Some explicitly deny running Tor as a server. Some just reference vague “proxy services.” Others don't mention Tor or proxies at all. The list is a start with currently just under 70 VPS providers listed. Input through various channels already started, and TDP intends to update the list over the coming months. A first draft email and open letter addressed to the providers were drafted, and we are looking to speak directly to at least some of the better-known BSD VPS providers. We may be able to convince a few to allow public Tor relays, or at least published bridges. These providers could be new BSD users' gateway drug into the world of BSD Tor nodes. Running a Tor relay shouldn't be considered a particularly risky activity. Maybe we can adjust that perception. Let us know any input via email or GitHub, and we'll be glad to make updates.

“Life is the sum of your choices.”I would like to share with you someone in my life who has influenced me greatly, my father, Rich Dittman. He was a self-sacrificing man, who was fair in all of his dealings with others. Rich’s characteristic of sacrificing his time and energy for others was quite authentic – he was never trying to gain anything for himself. This is my tribute to him, may he rest in peace. I love you. Tim Costa John Ramsey: Listen to a special Hillbilly House music mix created by Timothy Costa to celebrate Rich's life. It will air at midnight tonight on Rich's old station, WWUH in West Hartford, CT. 91.3 in central CT. Listen on line at wwuh.org or use the free tunein app and just search for WWUH. This special will also be heard on WAPJ 89.9 and 105.1 in WAPJ FM 89.9 & 105.1 Torrington, CT, WWEB 89.9 in Wallingford and WDJW 89.7 in Somers. www.wwuh.org | WWUH 91.3 FM wwuh.org Bernard Bruce: Absolutely love to you Rich Dittman and Tim Costa - my first musical collaborations with these guys waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1989 when I moved to Hartford and worked at the University of Hartford. I will carry on with you in my heart, Mr. Dittman! Mike Ross: R I P Rich Dittman , Thank you for taking me under your wing and into your home to Educate me on House Music and music with a funky vibe. I can remember leaving Rainbo after the midnight ramble and heading to the airport to catch a flight to New York for the NMS. You always had the hookups to the main events we needed to go to and the endless promotion copies. If it were not for Hillbilly House Records Piano Negro would not be on the map in Chicago as strong as it is today. My endless box of WWUH tapes will bring back some great memories. To Timothy Costa and the family I Love you all , Big Bear. Nico Mulder: Tonight I recieved sad news !! One of my true all time friends, Rich Dittman passed away. This was quit sudden and unespected. Rich his outstanding feel and knowledge of early House music is unsurpassed. His library of the old school early Chicago & Detroit scene is Smithsonian worthy. Together with his son DJ Timmy Costa, they formed a music stronghold called "The Two Hillbillies". TheirCollege radio show had gone "national". I was lucky to run into those guys in the late 80's - begin 90's. I imported House Music from Rotterdam into the USA. Got the Hillbillies to play the stuff on their "national" show. Together with them, I had set up a nationwide network of the most influencial DJ's in the USA, tapping into Rich his portfolio. If Rich "pushed" a record...people listened. Over the years we became such good friends, spend many many hours listening to music, he educated me in "how to listen". Timmy and I produced our own track called "Sploey". We never released it but used it in a great mix, I still have it somewhere in a box. After I moved back to Holland Rich has visited me numerous times. In no time the day was exchanged for the night. The Underground scene in The Netherlands had two visitors filled with good spirits, humor and an unbelieveble stamina. The amount of ribs we ate during our adventures at "De Klos" in Amsterdam is luckly unknown When he returned to the US, we had email contcact on a daily basis. Recently, Timmy has been signed by a NY label and is producing and making track after track. Recently he made me a homage track called "Nico, The Flying Dutchman". There is not a track leaving his studio before it has to pass my ears. I do not have a digital foto handy of Rich and me, I do have somewhere in my "vault" some pix of the early days on hard copy. When looking for such a picture, I found Rich" old cassette player he left at my house many mant years ago. I remember what he said when I told him that forgot his player. "No..thats my gift to you. There will be a day that all those cassettes will be replaced with "creepy shit" where you can listen music on. This player has give me hours and hours of pleasure. Do not throw it out, you might need it some day" Whilst looking for a pix and finding this little Gizmo, I was satisfied by just posting a little story, instead of making it a picture show. he wanted it that way. R.I.P Rich...luv ya, Man !!! Joe Incorvaia: I met Rich while sitting in on Markie Gee's radio show at WWUH. He had come up to the station during an overnight shift to meet with Mark and talk house music. Myself, being a child of the Brooklyn/NYC Disco and Hip Hop scene, we immediately hit it off. He then introduced me to his "son" Tim Costa. I never understood the relationship or how they came into each others' lives until now. It really is an amazing story. Knowing the relationship and how much they looked out for each other makes it that much more special. I remember various outings together where he took me away from a very awkward college life and showed me how to live in the moment. I learned about New Haven Pizza, met the band behind my favorite Sugar Hill Records, ate my first Gray's Papaya hot dog and he helped me promote the first Hip Hop group I ever worked with. Anyone who knew Rich will tell you that he was the most accepting, kind and loyal friend that a human being could ever have. His passion for music and commitment to help bring his beloved House Music to the masses always inspired me. Over the years we lost touch; life gets in the way sometimes. I always missed those times. I will always miss Rich but I know some day we'll all be reunited for one huge eternal party!! Joe Clausell: Hello Tim, I am so sorry to read this news. my memories of your father, as well as with all of you were what the music industry should have aspired to be in terms of both kindness and being real. I am sure that where ever he has transcended to that he is grooving. I take this moment to send you and your family my condolences but filled with love and happiness. With more love Joaquin Chris Pellerin: I had the privilege to meet Rich, I remember sitting out in his backyard just shooting the shit. I think he was a mentor to all who knew him, since he really cared about the people around him. I , too, learned so much from him. RIP Ditty Bob Leblanc: I'm not sure what year I met Ditt but my first day of BCHS as a freshman he drove me to school in his '54 Caddy hearse. We spent many hours together practice for the band. NYC trips and hanging out. So sorry to hear this news. My condolences to Lisa Addison David and Ruth. Rest in peace. Bob LeBlanc. The Bunkers (uk) I first met Dit through my brother Ian in the late 70s/early 80s during one of his many visits to the UK at that time and immediately realised what a great character he was. We were warmly welcomed into the Dittman home by Dit and Lisa (and their many cats!) during our unforgettable trips to the US in 1983 and 1988. We also all met up again more recently in 2010 and had a great day together in NYC, when our son Daniel met Dit for the first time, with him thinking what a cool character he was. Tony Brown: My friendship with Dit started in 1976, when we met him at the Reading Festival in the First met Dit in 1976 at the Reading Festival in the UK. Stayed with him and Lisa in 1979. Such a character and will remember the great times together. All of his friends in the UK will miss him very much and he will remain in our thoughts for ever. Joan Beatson: When I think of Rit I remember his great love for NYC --I can still picture him behind the wheel of some old van many years ago as he drove Lisa, me and his "limey" pals from England to NYC for a night of dancing in the clubs. I remember visiting Lisa in the hospital after Addison's birth and the look on Rit's face as he held his newborn son. I remember Rit wanting to make sure that Addison grew up watching all the "important" classic cartoons, like the Katzenjammer Kids. And I remember Rit's love for music and his phenomenal record collection. Lisa Roberge: When I heard of Rit's passing I started thinking of all the good times we spent years ago when we would take trips to Manhatten to go dancing!! They were in some really old clunkers that he proudly drove until the poor cars could not go another inch!!! One time in particular we had to stop and take a picture of the odometer as it was turning over to 100,000 miles!! Then there was the time we broke down on the way home from an night of dancing and partying in NY... We were all dressed up in our night of dancing clothes and Rit had forgotten to leave his tools in the car so we had to wait for help. While waiting we had to use a bathroom and the only place nearby was a school in Brewster which was just starting their day, we were looked at like we were aliens by some kids that were passing by and we looked on them the same way because their school had a large claw machine that dispensed apples ( this was in early 80's)!! Thanks Rit for some great memories. And, I am sure that everyone who's life you touched have some great memories to remember and share as well. May you Rest in Peace! Uncle Remus: Dj Dick, Thank you for the music mentoring and the trips to the "Big Apple." I've experienced more in one day hanging with you than anyone can imagine. Lisa and Addison my prayers to you both. John "Uncle Remus" Vanden Heuvel Greg Clauss: So very sad to hear of Dit's passing,but so very happy that I had the privilege of having him be a huge part of my life. His memory and the times we shared together will live with me forever. He was a friend that gave you his all, someone that loved to share all his knowledge and made me a much better person than I would have ever been had I not had him in my life. Lisa, Addison I offer you my sincere condolences. The world was and continues to be a much brighter place because of his presence in it. Thank you Rit for enriching my life,for shaping me into the person I am today. I love you. May you rest in peace and have a Chevy Nova that never needs to be worked on where ever you are. You made sure others were happy in this life and I wish you the BEST in the next life. Until we meet again Ditty.
