Join Jason Hartman and MC Company Principal and Co-Partner, as well as the Real Estate Adviser of Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy, in this insightful discussion about real estate investing, inflation, and the effect of today's economy on the rental markets. Both Ken and Jason learned the power of leverage to hedge against inflation, and in this episode, they share their combined knowledge with the listeners. Ken feels that investing in real estate and watching the dollar, mortgage rates, and inflation are lifelong endeavors and it's important to stay on top of those things. He also shares why he prefers apartments over residential investments, expressing it allows greater control over the financial outcome of the asset. Ken talks about the pent up demand of Gen Y'ers, who currently are forced to live at home due to scarcity of jobs, but who will eventually flow into the rental market if and when jobs are created and the economy begins to improve. Jason and Ken also share their similar knowledge regarding macro- and micro-markets, the importance of researching job markets, employment rates, population, schools, etc. “At the end of the day, it's all about demographics,” Ken says.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

In a two-part series, we explore the Vice President's decision to invite Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Ken admits his unbridled enthusiasm, especially following that Philadelphia Rally where the two made a joyful, energetic launch in front of a roaring, capacity crowd. Betsey's enthusiasms are somewhat muted because for the past few weeks, she has been actively engaged with a team of advocates across the nation to promote Pete Buttigieg for the position. As anticipation reached a fever pitch, the announcement was a let-down for Betsey and her friends. In this episode, she tells the story of the backroom drama - and then finally, her embrace of the ticket. Both Ken and Betsey share their firm belief that the former President's campaign, including his choice of V.P., are facing a formidable foe in Harris/Walz.Part II is a conversation with political activist and friend of the podcast, Minnesota resident - Darcy McKenzie. Like Betsey, Darcy is a loyal Pete supporter. But she also loves her Governor, Tim Walz.Become a Patron | Ken's Substack PageSupport the Show.

Ken Murray, United Church of God pastor for Clermont, Central Queensland, Australia, and I discuss THE KINGDOM OF GOD.  Both Ken and I became acquainted with and became believers in what that Kingdom is from the entirety of the Bible. We both saw that it was not what is popularly taught as heaven, a feeling, a church.  Then, what is it?  Find our by listening here.  We invite your comments to vkubik@gmail.com

In the last few years, militaries have carried out coups in numerous African countries, including Gabon, Niger, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Guinea, Chad and Mali. Does this signify the beginning of a much broader continent wide “coup epidemic?” Or are these coups mostly affecting especially weak states that face specific challenges? Where is democratic resilience strong and where is there a risk of continued democratic backsliding?   A Good Chat on Africa Good Authority's Africa experts Ken Opalo and our editor-in-chief Kim Yi Dionne joined me to discuss these issues. Ken is an associate professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and the author of the substack An Africanist Perspective. Kim is an associate professor at UC Riverside and the co-host of the podcast Ufahamu Africa. Both Ken and Kim contributed to a recent issue of the Journal of Democracy on Africa. Ken's essay highlights that Africa's coups were concentrated in countries with weak state capacity and that were facing security threats and/or political dysfunction. Therefore, he believes these coups are unlikely to spread across the continent. Kim's essay explores a democratic success story – Malawi – highlighting the importance of domestic checks and balances for democratic resilience. Our conversation delves deeper into the themes and content of these essays. We discussed the role of security threats, economic distress, African regional organizations, and outside assistance from the United States and China. We also talked about the upcoming South African elections and the rise of economic populism on the continent.

Our 'jerk' of the day is from right here in Minnesota! Both Ken and Lauren share conspiracies for Ken's Weird News: one about Bigfoot and another about the Royal family. Most Americans keep this in their pantry no matter what.

Betsey, who has been a proud supporter of Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg since he ran for the presidency in 2020, would like to see him on the ballot again. Both Ken and Betsey share a deep appreciation for our aging President Joe Biden. His accomplishments are solid. He's a decent human being. His priorities are in line. But his approval ratings are a clear indicator that he is not inspiring America. Perhaps even more glaringly, his opponent's age shows, too. Ken and Betsey agree that the 45th President is unfit and dangerous, suffering a more and more public dementia. He must be defeated. There are some terrific candidates, including Secretary Pete. Nikki Haley's searing assessment of Donald Trump rings true. Ken and Betsey switch subjects to the Alabama ruling on IVF, and a Christian Nationalism that claims the Bible as its authority. They discuss the frequent assertion by the "Christian" right that apart from the Bible, there is no morality; no ethics. They review Ken's most recent Substack article on that subject.

MANN AGGED: HEAT 2 BY MICHAEL MANN AND MEG GARDINER Criss-cross apple sauce everyone and gather round as Thomas and Ken discuss HEAT 2, Michael Mann's first novel, published a few months ago, which acts both as a prequel AND sequel to his 1995 film masterwork. We get Hanna and McCauley in Chicago years before the events in Heat. We get Chris in South America after the events of Heat with Hanna on his trail. We get Mann and Gardiner clearly writing Hanna as Al Pacino with all his weird dialogue and it is kind of awesome.  Important note: Both Ken and Thomas had copies of the book but Ken didn't get through the initial section because of "reasons" explained on the podcast. What results is a treat for all of us Thomas fans: Thomas gets to recount the entire plot of the book and give his thoughts on its merits. Major spoilers and all that. Mann has spoken of wanting to turn this into a giant movie (needing a recast of a few iconic actors) so this is a great opportunity to see what it's all about before the movie gets made and not having to read the book!  This is a unique episode, our first ever Book Report!

Eddie was not in the popular crowd. As far as he knew he was not in the popular universe. Everyone else at this party seemed not only taller than him, they were also drunker than him. About the time things seemed to be getting weirder, he'd decided to leave. Eddie heard a shout from across the room,“Little Eddie! Where are you going?” Eddie turned just in time to see Ken approaching quickly to head him off. Eddie stopped in his tracks. After Ken had made the football team, and Eddie hadn't, Ken had stopped being any kind of friend, and had made fun of Eddie's wrestling just about every time they met. Even after Eddie had won his weight class at State, it was always the same insults about wresting around with a bunch of sweaty guys on a sweaty mat. Eddie RESPONDED, “Just headed home. Got early church tomorrow man.” Ken's slurred speech gave his drunkenness away, “You can pray tomorrow, but you ain't going nowhere tonight.” Eddie RESPONDED, “Sorry to disappoint you. Gotta go.” Just then Ken launched himself at Eddie's midsection in a full tackle. Eddie RESPONDED immediately by dropping into a standing sprawl, controlling any tackle from occurring by keeping Ken's hands and arms at bay. However Ken was bigger and continued to push. Eddie knew he's have to move Ken around and control his ability to push him over. Eddie dropped his head and pushed the hard part of his skull as if he had horns into Ken's eye socket, temple and nose. “Ouch!” Ken said, and released rubbing his bloody nose and blackening eye. Dropping his hands to his knees and breathing hard. Ken spat out.“We'll go then you little…!” Eddie tapped Ken on the shoulder, “Sleep it off my friend. I'll tell Reverend Mike you said, hey.” Ken went home soon after, and did sleep it off. Eddie called to see how he was doing after church the next day, and Ken apologized. From that day they were back to being friends. Eddie thought many times over their lifetime about that night, and how grateful he was for his RESPONSE. Both Ken and Eddie never made college teams, however, their years of friendship were long, and their children's children grew up like family together for holidays, blessings, baptisms and weddings. Eddie's RESPONSE in self-defense changed his life forever. Eddie could have easily taken Ken out, however, he didn't. We all have the ability to create our world in each RESPONSE we have each and every day. Remember it's not what happens to us that makes the difference, it's how we RESPOND that creates our future. Life is full of conflict. In fact everything in life has an element of conflict. How will you RESPOND? Because how you RESPOND is what you will create in your next conflict, and life.

Ken Gavranovic was the Executive Vice President and GM for product at New Relic. In early 2019, Ken and I were in Boston together for an event, and we recorded an interview discussion about Risk Management in modern digital applications. Both Ken and I have experience dealing with Risk Management issues in current and past assignments. I discuss Risk Management in my book, Architecting for Scale. Ken used a very similar risk management technique in his past corporate management gigs. In this interview, we compare notes and make recommendations on best practices for Risk Management that everyone can use. Links and More Information The following are links mentioned in this episode, and links to related information: Modern Digital Applications Website (https://mdacast.com (https://mdacast.com)) Lee Atchison Articles and Presentations (https://leeatchison.com (https://leeatchison.com)) Architecting for Scale, published by O’Reilly Media (https://architectingforscale.com (https://architectingforscale.com)) Risk Management with Ken Gavranovic Video (https://leeatchison.com/2019/02/06/managing-risk-in-modern-enterprise-applications/ (https://leeatchison.com/2019/02/06/managing-risk-in-modern-enterprise-applications/)) Ken Gavranovic Twitter (https://twitter.com/kgavranovic (https://twitter.com/kgavranovic)) Ken Gavranovic LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavranovic/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavranovic/)) Risk Management Interview Ken: I know we both talk to a lot of customers. One of the questions is, where do I get started? What are some of the patterns we see in enterprises and our own experiences? We have an awesome opportunity to talk to a lot of companies doing digital transformation, but what is something that I can just go do tomorrow to get started? Lee: One of the things I find it’s very easy to wrap your mind around is risk management. How do you build a risk matrix to track the issues and the risks you have within your system? I like to talk to companies about that because it gets people starting to think about what their system is doing, what problems they have, and how they deal with them. It gets them thinking beyond just the problem/resolution cycle, and more into a pro/con and risk assessment process. What is the benefit of fixing something versus the benefit of mitigating it versus the benefit of simply ignoring it? I like to talk about that because it gets conversations going within the company about the sorts of things that are important to them. Creating a risk matrix is an important first step for anyone who is thinking about trying to improve their availability, trying to improve their scalability, or trying to modernize their application in many different ways. It helps get a grip on the issues that already exist in your system and what you are currently doing to manage those risks. Ken: I 100% agree. I remember in a previous role, I had a couple hundred-million-dollar project, I had some challenges. We created a risk matrix which helped us solve those challenges. So I thought it might be helpful for people watching this video. Let’s double click and see what this might look like. From my perspective, I think the key questions that need to be asked, those questions need to be asked in a bottoms-up way, not top down. Agreed? Lee: Yes, definitely. Ken: It’s not people at the top of the organization that are giving you the answers. It’s the team level that gives you the answers you need. Let me give you my shot and tell me where I miss. First of all, the things that can go into the risk are the things that can go bump in the night. Lee: Most people already have an idea of the things that keep them up at night. Things they think about, worry about. The things they think about on a regular basis, and that is a good place to start. Ken: That makes sense. So, bottom up, by team, just create a list. Just list all the things that we think are some sort...

Originally aired as CW 236 Join Jason Hartman and MC Company Principal and Co-Partner, as well as the Real Estate Adviser of Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy, in this insightful discussion about real estate investing, inflation, and the effect of today’s economy on the rental markets. Both Ken and Jason learned the power of leverage to hedge against inflation, and in this episode, they share their combined knowledge with the listeners. Ken feels that investing in real estate and watching the dollar, mortgage rates, and inflation are lifelong endeavors and it’s important to stay on top of those things. He also shares why he prefers apartments over residential investments, expressing it allows greater control over the financial outcome of the asset. Ken talks about the pent up demand of Gen Y’ers, who currently are forced to live at home due to scarcity of jobs, but who will eventually flow into the rental market if and when jobs are created and the economy begins to improve. Jason and Ken also share their similar knowledge regarding macro- and micro-markets, the importance of researching job markets, employment rates, population, schools, etc. “At the end of the day, it’s all about demographics,” Ken says.

OpenBSD on Microsoft Surface Go, FreeBSD Foundation August Update, What’s taking so long with Project Trident, pkgsrc config file versioning, and MacOS remnants in ZFS code. ##Headlines OpenBSD on the Microsoft Surface Go For some reason I like small laptops and the constraints they place on me (as long as they’re still usable). I used a Dell Mini 9 for a long time back in the netbook days and was recently using an 11" MacBook Air as my primary development machine for many years. Recently Microsoft announced a smaller, cheaper version of its Surface tablets called Surface Go which piqued my interest. Hardware The Surface Go is available in two hardware configurations: one with 4Gb of RAM and a 64Gb eMMC, and another with 8Gb of RAM with a 128Gb NVMe SSD. (I went with the latter.) Both ship with an Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y processor which is not very fast, but it’s certainly usable. The tablet measures 9.65" across, 6.9" tall, and 0.3" thick. Its 10" diagonal 3:2 touchscreen is covered with Gorilla Glass and has a resolution of 1800x1200. The bezel is quite large, especially for such a small screen, but it makes sense on a device that is meant to be held, to avoid accidental screen touches. The keyboard and touchpad are located on a separate, removable slab called the Surface Go Signature Type Cover which is sold separately. I opted for the “cobalt blue” cover which has a soft, cloth-like alcantara material. The cover attaches magnetically along the bottom edge of the device and presents USB-attached keyboard and touchpad devices. When the cover is folded up against the screen, it sends an ACPI sleep signal and is held to the screen magnetically. During normal use, the cover can be positioned flat on a surface or slightly raised up about 3/4" near the screen for better ergonomics. When using the device as a tablet, the cover can be rotated behind the screen which causes it to automatically stop sending keyboard and touchpad events until it is rotated back around. The keyboard has a decent amount of key travel and a good layout, with Home/End/Page Up/Page Down being accessible via Fn+Left/Right/Up/Down but also dedicated Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys on the F9-F12 keys which I find quite useful since the keyboard layout is somewhat small. By default, the F1-F12 keys do not send F1-F12 key codes and Fn must be used, either held down temporarily or Fn pressed by itself to enable Fn-lock which annoyingly keeps the bright Fn LED illuminated. The keys are backlit with three levels of adjustment, handled by the keyboard itself with the F7 key. The touchpad on the Type Cover is a Windows Precision Touchpad connected via USB HID. It has a decent click feel but when the cover is angled up instead of flat on a surface, it sounds a bit hollow and cheap. Surface Go Pen The touchscreen is powered by an Elantech chip connected via HID-over-i2c, which also supports pen input. A Surface Pen digitizer is available separately from Microsoft and comes in the same colors as the Type Covers. The pen works without any pairing necessary, though the top button on it works over Bluetooth so it requires pairing to use. Either way, the pen requires an AAAA battery inside it to operate. The Surface Pen can attach magnetically to the left side of the screen when not in use. A kickstand can swing out behind the display to use the tablet in a laptop form factor, which can adjust to any angle up to about 170 degrees. The kickstand stays firmly in place wherever it is positioned, which also means it requires a bit of force to pull it out when initially placing the Surface Go on a desk. Along the top of the display are a power button and physical volume rocker buttons. Along the right side are the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port, power port, and microSD card slot located behind the kickstand. Charging can be done via USB-C or the dedicated charge port, which accommodates a magnetically-attached, thin barrel similar to Apple’s first generation MagSafe adapter. The charging cable has a white LED that glows when connected, which is kind of annoying since it’s near the mid-line of the screen rather than down by the keyboard. Unlike Apple’s MagSafe, the indicator light does not indicate whether the battery is charged or not. The barrel charger plug can be placed up or down, but in either direction I find it puts an awkward strain on the power cable coming out of it due to the vertical position of the port. Wireless connectivity is provided by a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac chip which also provides Bluetooth connectivity. Most of the sensors on the device such as the gyroscope and ambient light sensor are connected behind an Intel Sensor Hub PCI device, which provides some power savings as the host CPU doesn’t have to poll the sensors all the time. Firmware The Surface Go’s BIOS/firmware menu can be entered by holding down the Volume Up button, then pressing and releasing the Power button, and releasing Volume Up when the menu appears. Secure Boot as well as various hardware components can be disabled in this menu. Boot order can also be adjusted. A temporary boot menu can be brought up the same way but using Volume Down instead. ###FreeBSD Foundation Update, August 2018 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear FreeBSD Community Member, It’s been a busy summer for the Foundation. From traveling around the globe spreading the word about FreeBSD to bringing on new team members to improve the Project’s Continuous Integration work, we’re very excited about what we’ve accomplished. Take a minute to check out the latest updates within our Foundation sponsored projects; read more about our advocacy efforts in Bangladesh and community building in Cambridge; don’t miss upcoming Travel Grant deadlines, and new Developer Summits; and be sure to find out how your support will ensure our progress continues into 2019. We can’t do this without you! Happy reading!! Deb August 2018 Development Projects Update Fundraising Update: Supporting the Project August 2018 Release Engineering Update BSDCam 2018 Recap October 2018 FreeBSD Developer Summit Call for Participation SANOG32 and COSCUP 2018 Recap MeetBSD 2018 Travel Grant Application Deadline: September 7 ##News Roundup Project Trident: What’s taking so long? What is taking so long? The short answer is that it’s complicated. Project Trident is quite literally a test of the new TrueOS build system. As expected, there have been quite a few bugs, undocumented features, and other optional bits that we discovered we needed that were not initially present. All of these things have to be addressed and retested in a constant back and forth process. While Ken and JT are both experienced developers, neither has done this kind of release engineering before. JT has done some release engineering back in his Linux days, but the TrueOS and FreeBSD build system is very different. Both Ken and JT are learning a completely new way of building a FreeBSD/TrueOS distribution. Please keep in mind that no one has used this new TrueOS build system before, so Ken and JT want to not only provide a good Trident release, but also provide a model or template for other potential TrueOS distributions too! Where are we now? Through perseverance, trial and error, and a lot of head-scratching we have reached the point of having successful builds. It took a while to get there, but now we are simply working out a few bugs with the new installer that Ken wrote as well as finding and fixing all the new Xorg configuration options which recently landed in FreeBSD. We also found that a number of services have been removed or replaced between TrueOS 18.03 and 18.06 so we are needing to adjust what we consider the “base” services for the desktop. All of these issues are being resolved and we are continually rebuilding and pulling in new patches from TrueOS as soon as they are committed. In the meantime we have made an early BETA release of Trident available to the users in our Telegram Channel for those who want to help out in testing these early versions. Do you foresee any other delays? At the moment we are doing many iterations of testing and tweaking the install ISO and package configurations in order to ensure that all the critical functionality works out-of-box (networking, sound, video, basic apps, etc). While we do not foresee any other major delays, sometimes things happen that our outside of our control. For an example, one of the recent delays that hit recently was completely unexpected: we had a hard drive failure on our build server. Up until recently, The aptly named “Poseidon” build server was running a Micron m500dc drive, but that drive is now constantly reporting errors. Despite ordering a replacement Western Digital Blue SSD several weeks ago, we just received it this past week. The drive is now installed with the builder back to full functionality, but we did lose many precious days with the delay. The build server for Project Trident is very similar to the one that JT donated to the TrueOS project. JT had another DL580 G7, so he donated one to the Trident Project for their build server. Poseidon also has 256GB RAM (64 x 4GB sticks) which is a smidge higher than what the TrueOS builder has. Since we are talking about hardware, we probably should address another question we get often, “What Hardware are the devs testing on?” So let’s go ahead and answer that one now. Developer Hardware JT: His main test box is a custom-built Intel i7 7700K system running 32GB RAM, dual Intel Optane 900P drives, and an Nvidia 1070 GTX with four 4K Acer Monitors. He also uses a Lenovo x250 ThinkPad alongside a desk full of x230t and x220 ThinkPads. One of which he gave away at SouthEast LinuxFest this year, which you can read about here. However it’s not done there, being a complete hardware hoarder, JT also tests on several Intel NUCs and his second laptop a Fujitsu t904, not to mention a Plethora of HP DL580 servers, a DL980 server, and a stack of BL485c, BL460c, and BL490c Blades in his HP c7000 and c3000 Bladecenter chassis. (Maybe it’s time for an intervention for his hardware collecting habits) Ken: For a laptop, he primarily uses a 3rd generation X1 Carbon, but also has an old Eee PC T101MT Netbook (dual core 1GHz, 2GB of memory) which he uses for verifying how well Trident works on low-end hardware. As far as workstations go, his office computer is an Intel i7 with an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 running three 4K monitors and he has a couple other custom-built workstations (1 AMD, 1 Intel+NVIDIA) at his home. Generally he assembled random workstations based on hardware that was given to him or that he could acquire cheap. Tim: is using a third gen X1 Carbon and a custom built desktop with an Intel Core i5-4440 CPU, 16 GiB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti, and a RealTek 8168 / 8111 network card. Rod: Rod uses… No one knows what Rod uses, It’s kinda like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll Tootsie-Pop… the world may just never know. ###NetBSD GSoC: pkgsrc config file versioning A series of reports from the course of the summer on this Google Summer of Code project The goal of the project is to integrate with a VCS (Version Control System) to make managing local changes to config files for packages easier GSoC 2018 Reports: Configuration files versioning in pkgsrc, Part 1 Packages may install code (both machine executable code and interpreted programs), documentation and manual pages, source headers, shared libraries and other resources such as graphic elements, sounds, fonts, document templates, translations and configuration files, or a combination of them. Configuration files are usually the means through which the behaviour of software without a user interface is specified. This covers parts of the operating systems, network daemons and programs in general that don’t come with an interactive graphical or textual interface as the principal mean for setting options. System wide configuration for operating system software tends to be kept under /etc, while configuration for software installed via pkgsrc ends up under LOCALBASE/etc (e.g., /usr/pkg/etc). Software packaged as part of pkgsrc provides example configuration files, if any, which usually get extracted to LOCALBASE/share/examples/PKGBASE/. Don’t worry: automatic merging is disabled by default, set $VCSAUTOMERGE to enable it. In order to avoid breakage, installed configuration is backed up first in the VCS, separating user-modified files from files that have been already automatically merged in the past, in order to allow the administrator to easily restore the last manually edited file in case of breakage. VCS functionality only applies to configuration files, not to rc.d scripts, and only if the environment variable $NOVCS is unset. The version control system to be used as a backend can be set through $VCS. It default to RCS, the Revision Control System, which works only locally and doesn’t support atomic transactions. Other backends such as CVS are supported and more will come; these, being used at the explicit request of the administrator, need to be already installed and placed in a directory part of $PATH. GSoC 2018 Reports: Configuration files versioning in pkgsrc, part 2: remote repositories (git and CVS) pkgsrc is now able to deploy configuration from packages being installed from a remote, site-specific vcs repository. User modified files are always tracked even if automerge functionality is not enabled, and a new tool, pkgconftrack(1), exists to manually store user changes made outside of package upgrade time. Version Control software is executed as the same user running pkgadd or make install, unless the user is “root”. In this case, a separate, unprivileged user, pkgvcsconf, gets created with its own home directory and a working login shell (but no password). The home directory is not strictly necessary, it exists to facilitate migrations betweens repositories and vcs changes; it also serves to store keys used to access remote repositories. Using git instead of rcs is simply done by setting VCS=git in pkginstall.conf GSoC 2018 Reports: Configuration files versioning in pkgsrc, part 3: remote repositories (SVN and Mercurial) GSoC 2018 Reports: Configuration files versioning in pkgsrc, part 4: configuration deployment, pkgtools and future improvements Support for configuration tracking is in scripts, pkginstall scripts, that get built into binary packages and are run by pkgadd upon installation. The idea behind the proposal suggested that users of the new feature should be able to store revisions of their installed configuration files, and of package-provided default, both in local or remote repositories. With this capability in place, it doesn’t take much to make the scripts “pull” configuration from a VCS repository at installation time. That’s what setting VCSCONFPULL=yes in pkginstall.conf after having enabled VCSTRACKCONF does: You are free to use official, third party prebuilt packages that have no customization in them, enable these options, and point pkgsrc to a private conf repository. If it contains custom configuration for the software you are installing, an attempt will be made to use it and install it on your system. If it fails, pkginstall will fall back to using the defaults that come inside the package. RC scripts are always deployed from the binary package, if existing and PKGRCDSCRIPTS=yes in pkginstall.conf or the environment. This will be part of packages, not a separate solution like configuration management tools. It doesn’t support running scripts on the target system to customize the installation, it doesn’t come with its domain-specific language, it won’t run as a daemon or require remote logins to work. It’s quite limited in scope, but you can define a ROLE for your system in pkginstall.conf or in the environment, and pkgsrc will look for configuration you or your organization crafted for such a role (e.g., public, standalone webserver vs reverse proxy or node in a database cluster) ###A little bit of the one-time MacOS version still lingers in ZFS Once upon a time, Apple came very close to releasing ZFS as part of MacOS. Apple did this work in its own copy of the ZFS source base (as far as I know), but the people in Sun knew about it and it turns out that even today there is one little lingering sign of this hoped-for and perhaps prepared-for ZFS port in the ZFS source code. Well, sort of, because it’s not quite in code. Lurking in the function that reads ZFS directories to turn (ZFS) directory entries into the filesystem independent format that the kernel wants is the following comment: objnum = ZFSDIRENTOBJ(zap.zafirstinteger); / MacOS X can extract the object type here such as: * uint8t type = ZFSDIRENTTYPE(zap.zafirstinteger); */ Specifically, this is in zfsreaddir in zfsvnops.c . ZFS maintains file type information in directories. This information can’t be used on Solaris (and thus Illumos), where the overall kernel doesn’t have this in its filesystem independent directory entry format, but it could have been on MacOS (‘Darwin’), because MacOS is among the Unixes that support d_type. The comment itself dates all the way back to this 2007 commit, which includes the change ‘reserve bits in directory entry for file type’, which created the whole setup for this. I don’t know if this file type support was added specifically to help out Apple’s MacOS X port of ZFS, but it’s certainly possible, and in 2007 it seems likely that this port was at least on the minds of ZFS developers. It’s interesting but understandable that FreeBSD didn’t seem to have influenced them in the same way, at least as far as comments in the source code go; this file type support is equally useful for FreeBSD, and the FreeBSD ZFS port dates to 2007 too (per this announcement). Regardless of the exact reason that ZFS picked up maintaining file type information in directory entries, it’s quite useful for people on both FreeBSD and Linux that it does so. File type information is useful for any number of things and ZFS filesystems can (and do) provide this information on those Unixes, which helps make ZFS feel like a truly first class filesystem, one that supports all of the expected general system features. ##Beastie Bits Mac-like FreeBSD Laptop Syncthing on FreeBSD New ZFS Boot Environments Tool My system’s time was so wrong, that even ntpd didn’t work OpenSSH 7.8/7.8p1 (2018-08-24) EuroBSD (Sept 20-23rd) registration Early Bird Period is coming to an end MeetBSD (Oct 18-20th) is coming up fast, hurry up and register!

This week on Beer is a Conversation we play an interview James Atkinson recorded recently with Ken Stout and Dave Tohtz of Goose Island Brewing. Both Ken and Dave have been with the Goose Island business since before it was acquired by the world's largest brewer, ABInBev, in 2011. A longtime beer industry professional, Ken joined the Chicago brewer as regional sales director in 2009, eventually becoming its president and general manager in 2015, and more recently, the president of its international division.  The new role gives Ken oversight for the ambitious international rollout of the Goose Island brand by ABI. Dave Tohtz meanwhile notched up his tenth year as a brewer at Goose Island during 2017. Dave and Ken have been in Australia over the last fortnight for Goose Island's Migration Week campaign and I caught up with them at Two Birds Brewing's The Nest in Melbourne for an all-encompassing chat about their time at Goose Island, the changes they have witnessed since ABI took over and their impressions of the Australian market. Full disclosure, Goose Island has done some advertising around the Migration Week initiative on the Brews News website, but this interview was done completely separately. Enjoy the conversation.

Today’s episode features field biologist Roger Smith, the founder and chair of the Teton Raptor Center, a rehabilitation facility in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that annually cares for more than 130 injured birds. Roger and his wife, Margaret Creel, who also is a field biologist, established the Teton Raptor Center in 1997 as a facility committed to rehabilitating birds of prey. Both Ken and Dawn have visited the center, which has an education outreach program that reached nearly 37,000 people in 2016. “For our listeners who have never been to the Teton Raptor Center, I can honestly say that a visit to the center and the Grand Teton National Park would be well worth your time,” says Ken at the end of episode 51. Roger has spent his entire professional career in the natural sciences and environmental education. After high school, he headed off to the University of Montana and started his life as a field biologist researching grizzly bears in northwestern Montana in 1977. He continued to study grizzly and black bears in Alaska, Maine and Colorado before completing his secondary science degree in 1984. After teaching high school science in Montana, he moved to Jackson Hole in 1985 and joined the resident faculty at the Teton Science School. At the school, he designed and implemented a field-oriented natural science curriculum for adults and children. In 1987, he joined the field staff at the National Outdoor Leadership School and led courses in Wyoming, Texas, Mexico and Kenya. In 1994, Roger completed his Master’s degree in Wildlife Biology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming. Roger’s research has focused on raptors and ravens of the Grand Teton National Park. His research and papers have been published in a number of peer-reviewed professional journals. In 1994, he helped initiate and manage the professional residency in environmental education program at the Teton Science School, and was on the faculty there until 1999. He managed all aspects of independent research, including grant and proposal writing. Roger founded the Teton Raptor Center in 1996 and became the Resident Naturalist at 3Creek Ranch in 2002.

Ken comments on how this was an interesting time to be in the Maine woods as a young person. Ken then asks Roger if there are any adventures he would like to share from his time in northern Maine. 12:46: Ken comments on how bears are also found in the Tetons and throughout the Yellowstone ecosystem. He discusses how we often see warning signs posted to alert hikers and campers in areas where bears have been active. Ken then asks Roger if we have seen changes in activity in recent times, and if so, what drives those changes. 15:15: Ken discusses how he read a story about a grizzly bear breaking into someone’s garage to eat an elk carcass. 16:22: Dawn says that the grizzly bear is a reclusive animal and asks Roger what we know about its lifecycle. 18:07: Dawn comments that bears are opportunistic omnivores, eating a lot of berries and plants. She then asks Roger to discuss a grizzly’s diet. 20:18: Ken asks Roger to discuss bear hibernation and how it is different than other hibernators. 24:43: Ken discusses his amazement with the management of waste and kidney function,

Show X wishes both Earthweaver and Pokemon a happy birthday this weekend. Ken is on the road this week and is suffering with poor internets. To pass his time he has been enjoying all of the "Nice Walks" around the town he is in. At least it is quite lovely. Ken laments not having the luxury of a pool at his hotel, so he created one in the room itself. Both Ken and Wayne have booked all of their future travel for vacations and cons coming up and Wayne watched "Straight out of Compton" and helps Earthweaver do some scouting at a volleyball tournament. Ken has found a new band to enjoy, Steam Powered Giraffe and is still spending his geek time playing WoW. Wayne has been joining VtW members, flying the skies of War Thunder and geeks out over some new cameras from Canon. Two big questions this week.

Join Jason Hartman and MC Company Principal and Co-Partner, as well as the Real Estate Advisor of Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy, in this insightful discussion about real estate investing, inflation, and the effect of today's economy on the rental markets. Both Ken and Jason learned the power of leverage to hedge against inflation, and in this episode, they share their combined knowledge with the listeners. Ken feels that investing in real estate and watching the dollar, mortgage rates, and inflation are lifelong endeavors and it's important to stay on top of those things. He also shares why he prefers apartments over residential investments, expressing it allows greater control over the financial outcome of the asset.Ken talks about the pent up demand of Gen Y'ers, who currently are forced to live at home due to scarcity of jobs, but who will eventually flow into the rental market if and when jobs are created and the economy begins to improve. Jason and Ken also share their similar knowledge regarding macro- and micro-markets, the importance of researching job markets, employment rates, population, schools, etc. “At the end of the day, it's all about demographics,” Ken says.
