Have you ever been stumped at how to create an effective sales funnel? From website messaging to lead generators to sales emails, we've got you covered! Download our free, step-by-step guide at StoryBrand.com/Sales-Funnel-Plan.   --   The truth is, nobody wants to read a “newsletter.” In fact, emails with the word “newsletter” in the subject line get an 18.7% lower open rate! Why? Because your customers aren't interested in your company updates. They're interested in how you can help them solve a problem and add value to their lives. Of course, you should send regular emails to your audience – but those emails should be about them, not you!   In today's episode, you'll get to listen as April, J.J., and StoryBrand Certified Guide, Brad Alexander, walk an entrepreneur through creating nurture emails she can send to her customers. Shelby Lacerte is a travel agent with Living with the Magic Vacations (www.livingwiththemagic.com) helping families book epic Disney World vacations. Shelby needs help coming up with email ideas that are relevant and helpful to her audience.

Download our free, step-by-step guide at StoryBrand.com/Sales-Funnel-Plan.   --   Many businesses are afraid of annoying their leads with emails. And for good reason! Many companies send irrelevant emails that don't truly serve their customers. Nobody likes getting a “newsletter” full of updates that has nothing to do with them. But when you know how to send nurture emails that are truly customer-focused, you can build relationships with customers and in turn, grow your business.   In today's episode, J.J. and April talk with Storybrand Certified Guide, Brad Alexander, about how he helped a client develop a nurture email campaign. Brad's client was skeptical about sending nurture emails and was at a loss of what kind of content to include – but after Brad went to work, their entire perspective changed. Tune in to learn how Brad's approach to writing nurture emails ended up getting his client the most responses from customers they've ever had – and steal the idea for your own business!   Contact StoryBrand Certified Guide Brad Alexander directly at MarketingMadeSimple.com/Brad-Alexander.   --   HELP US DELIVER EVEN MORE VALUE EACH WEEK BY COMPLETING OUR HERO MAKER SURVEY: StoryBrand.com/Survey   HIRE A STORYBRAND CERTIFIED GUIDE TO HELP CREATE THE MARKETING AND MESSAGING YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS TO GROW: MarketingMadeSimple.com   START CLARIFYING YOUR MARKETING NOW AND CREATE YOUR FREE BRANDSCRIPT: Storybrand.com/sb7   STORYBRAND INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/StoryBrand

When 16” on Center opened Revival Food Hall in 2016, the collection of chef-driven eateries was an instant hit with Chicago's downtown crowd.

Electric Greens, a new-age salad bar, just opened, with Chef Brad Alexander at the helm. Daytime diners are back—and so are many of the signature eateries. An exciting bar program is in the works, too, and 16” on Center partner Tim Wickes has plans to bring entertainment and events back to the venue.

To stories of his past, to his state of mind in the director’s chair, to a personal top-ten essentials list of his work, take a ride with us as we travel to cinema in a simpler time: less special effects, cinematic universe sequels, and hopelessly spoilery trailers—just good, stinking suspense and wholehearted cinema.

This week on BSD Now, we clear up some ZFS FUD, show you how to write a NetBSD kernel module, and cover DragonflyBSD on the desktop. This episode was brought to you by Headlines ZFS is the best file system (for now) (http://blog.fosketts.net/2017/07/10/zfs-best-filesystem-now/) In my ongoing effort to fight misinformation and FUD about ZFS, I would like to go through this post in detail and share my thoughts on the current state and future of OpenZFS. The post starts with: ZFS should have been great, but I kind of hate it: ZFS seems to be trapped in the past, before it was sidelined it as the cool storage project of choice; it's inflexible; it lacks modern flash integration; and it's not directly supported by most operating systems. But I put all my valuable data on ZFS because it simply offers the best level of data protection in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment. Here's why. When ZFS first appeared in 2005, it was absolutely with the times, but it's remained stuck there ever since. The ZFS engineers did a lot right when they combined the best features of a volume manager with a “zettabyte-scale” filesystem in Solaris 10 The skies first darkened in 2007, as NetApp sued Sun, claiming that their WAFL patents were infringed by ZFS. Sun counter-sued later that year, and the legal issues dragged on. The lawsuit was resolved, and it didn't really impede ZFS. Some say it is the reason that Apple didn't go with ZFS, but there are other theories too. By then, Sun was hitting hard times and Oracle swooped in to purchase the company. This sowed further doubt about the future of ZFS, since Oracle did not enjoy wide support from open source advocates. Yes, Oracle taking over Sun and closing the source for ZFS definitely seemed like a setback at the time, but the OpenZFS project was started and active development has continued as an ever increasing pace. As of today, more than half of the code in OpenZFS has been written since the fork from the last open version of Oracle ZFS. the CDDL license Sun applied to the ZFS code was https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/ (judged incompatible) with the GPLv2 that covers Linux, making it a non-starter for inclusion in the world's server operating system. That hasn't stopped the ZFS-on-Linux project, or Ubuntu… Although OpenSolaris continued after the Oracle acquisition, and FreeBSD embraced ZFS, this was pretty much the extent of its impact outside the enterprise. Sure, NexentaStor and http://blog.fosketts.net/2008/09/15/greenbytes-embraces-extends-zfs/ (GreenBytes) helped push ZFS forward in the enterprise, but Oracle's lackluster commitment to Sun in the datacenter started having an impact. Lots of companies have adopted OpenZFS for their products. Before OpenZFS, there were very few non-Sun appliances that used ZFS, now there are plenty. OpenZFS Wiki: Companies with products based on OpenZFS (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Companies) OpenZFS remains little-changed from what we had a decade ago. Other than the fact that half of the current code did not exist a decade ago… Many remain skeptical of deduplication, which hogs expensive RAM in the best-case scenario. This is one of the weaker points in ZFS. As it turns out, the demand for deduplication is actually not that strong. Most of the win can be had with transparent compression. However, there are a number of suggested designs to work around the dedup problems: Dedup Ceiling: Set a limit on the side of the DDT and just stop deduping new unique blocks when this limit is reached. Allocation Classes: A feature being developed by Intel for a supercomputer, will allow different types of data to be classified, and dedicated vdevs (or even metaslabs within a vdev), to be dedicated to that class of data. This could be extended to having the DDT live on a fast device like an PCIe NVMe, combined with the Dedup Ceiling when the device is full. DDT Pruning: Matt Ahrens described a design where items in the DDT with only a single reference, would be expired in an LRU type fashion, to allow newer blocks to live in the DDT in hopes that they would end up with more than a single reference. This doesn't cause bookkeeping problems since when a block is about to be freed, if it is NOT listed in the DDT, ZFS knows it was never deduplicated, so the current block must be the only reference, and it can safely be freed. This provides a best case scenario compared to Dedup Ceiling, since blocks that will deduplicate well, are likely to be written relatively close together, whereas the chance to a dedup match on a very old block is much lower. And I do mean expensive: Pretty much every ZFS FAQ flatly declares that ECC RAM is a must-have and 8 GB is the bare minimum. In my own experience with FreeNAS, 32 GB is a nice amount for an active small ZFS server, and this costs $200-$300 even at today's prices. As we talked about a few weeks ago, ECC is best, but it is not required. If you want your server to stay up for a long time, to be highly available, you'll put ECC in it. Don't let a lack of ECC stop you from using ZFS, you are just putting your data at more risk. The scrub of death is a myth. ZFS does not ‘require' lots of ram. Your NAS will work happily with 8 GB instead of 32 GB of RAM. Its cache hit ratio will be much lower, so performance will be worse. It won't be able to buffer as many writes, so performance will be worse. Copy-on-Write has some drawbacks, data tends to get scattered and fragmented across the drives when it is written gradually. The ARC (RAM Cache) lessens the pain of this, and allows ZFS to batch incoming writes up into nice contiguous writes. ZFS purposely alternates between reading and writing, since both are faster when the other is not happening. So writes are batched up until there is too much dirty data, or the timeout expires. Then reads are held off while the bulk linear write finishes as quickly as possible, and reads are resumed. Obviously all of this works better and more efficiently in larger batches, which you can do if you have more RAM. ZFS can be tuned to use less RAM, and if you do not have a lot of RAM, or you have a lot of other demand on your RAM, you should do that tuning. And ZFS never really adapted to today's world of widely-available flash storage: Although flash can be used to support the ZIL and L2ARC caches, these are of dubious value in a system with sufficient RAM, and ZFS has no true hybrid storage capability. It's laughable that the ZFS documentation obsesses over a few GB of SLC flash when multi-TB 3D NAND drives are on the market. And no one is talking about NVMe even though it's everywhere in performance PC's. Make up your mind, is 32GB of ram too expensive or not… the L2ARC exists specifically for the case where it is not possible to just install more RAM. Be it because there are no more slots, of limits of the processor, or limits of your budget. The SLOG is optional, but it never needs to be very big. A number of GBs of SLC flash is all you need, it is only holding writes that have not been flushed to the regular storage devices yet. The reason the documentation talks about SLC specifically is because your SLOG needs a very high write endurance, something never the newest NVMe devices cannot yet provide. Of course you can use NVMe devices with ZFS, lots of people do. All flash ZFS arrays are for sale right now. Other than maybe a little tuning of the device queue depths, ZFS just works and there is nothing to think about. However, to say there is nothing happening in this space is woefully inaccurate. The previously mentioned allocation classes code can be used to allocate metadata (4 KB blocks) on SSD or NVMe, while allocating bulk storage data (up to 16 MB blocks) on spinning disks. Extended a bit beyond what Intel is building for their super computer, this will basically create hybrid storage for ZFS. With the metaslab classes feature, it will even be possible to mix classes on the same device, grouping small allocations and large allocations in different areas, decreasing fragmentation. Then there's the question of flexibility, or lack thereof. Once you build a ZFS volume, it's pretty much fixed for life. There are only three ways to expand a storage pool: Replace each and every drive in the pool with a larger one (which is great but limiting and expensive) It depends on your pool layout. If you design with this in mind using ZFS Mirrors, it can be quite useful Add a stripe on another set of drives (which can lead to imbalanced performance and redundancy and a whole world of potential stupid stuff) The unbalanced LUNs performance issues were sorted out in 2013-2016. 2014: OpenZFS Allocation Performance (http://open-zfs.org/w/images/3/31/Performance-George_Wilson.pdf) 2016: OpenZFS space allocation: doubling performance on large and fragmented pools (http://www.bsdcan.org/2016/schedule/events/710.en.html) These also mostly solved the performance issues when a pool gets full, you can run a lot closer to the edge now Build a new pool and “zfs send” your datasets to it (which is what I do, even though it's kind of tricky) This is one way to do it, yes. There is another way coming, but I can't talk about it just yet. Look for big news later this year. Apart from option 3 above, you can't shrink a ZFS pool. Device removal is arriving now. It will not work for RAIDZ*, but for Mirrors and Stripes you will be able to remove a device. I've probably made ZFS sound pretty unappealing right about now. It was revolutionary but now it's startlingly limiting and out of touch with the present solid-state-dominated storage world. I don't feel like ZFS is out of touch with solid state. Lots of people are running SSD only pools. I will admit the tiered storage options in ZFS are a bit limited still, but there is a lot of work being done to overcome this. After all, reliably storing data is the only thing a storage system really has to do. All my important data goes on ZFS, from photos to music and movies to office files. It's going to be a long time before I trust anything other than ZFS! + I agree. + ZFS has a great track record of doing its most important job, keeping your data safe. + Work is ongoing to make ZFS more performance, and more flexible. The import thing is that this work is never allowed to compromise job #1, keeping your data safe. + Hybrid/tiered storage features, re-RAID-ing, are coming + There is a lot going on with OpenZFS, check out the notes from the last two OpenZFS Developer Summits just to get an idea of what some of those things are: 2015 (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit_2015) & 2016 (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit_2016) Some highlights: Compressed ARC Compressed send/recv ABD (arc buf scatter/gather) ZFS Native Encryption (scrub/resilver, send/recv, etc without encryption keys loaded) Channel Programs (do many administrative operations as one atomic transaction) Device Removal Redacted send/recv ZStandard Compression TRIM Support (FreeBSD has its own, but this will be more performant and universal) Faster Scrub/Resilver (https://youtu.be/SZFwv8BdBj4) Declustered RAID (https://youtu.be/MxKohtFSB4M) Allocation Classes (https://youtu.be/28fKiTWb2oM) Multi-mount protection (for Active/Passive failover) Zpool Checkpoint (undo almost anything) Even more Improved Allocator Performance vdev spacemap log ZIL performance improvements (w/ or w/o SLOG) Persistent L2ARC What I don't think the author of this article understands is how far behind every other filesystem is. 100s of Engineer years have gone into OpenZFS, and the pace is accelerating. I don't see how BtrFS can ever catch up, without a huge cash infusion. Writing a NetBSD kernel module (https://saurvs.github.io/post/writing-netbsd-kern-mod/) Kernel modules are object files used to extend an operating system's kernel functionality at run time. In this post, we'll look at implementing a simple character device driver as a kernel module in NetBSD. Once it is loaded, userspace processes will be able to write an arbitrary byte string to the device, and on every successive read expect a cryptographically-secure pseudorandom permutation of the original byte string. You will need the NetBSD Source Code. This doc (https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html) will explain how you can get it. The article gives an easy line by line walkthrough which is easy to follow and understand. The driver implements the bare minimum: open, close, read, and write, plus the module initialization function It explains the differences in how memory is allocated and freed in the kernel It also describes the process of using UIO to copy data back and forth between userspace and the kernel Create a Makefile, and compile the kernel module Then, create a simple userspace program to use the character device that the kernel module creates All the code is available here (https://github.com/saurvs/rperm-netbsd) *** DragonFlyBSD Desktop! (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2017/07/11/dragonflybsd-desktop/) If you read my last post (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2017/06/30/boot-all-the-things/), you know that I set up a machine (Thinkpad x230) with UEFI and four operating systems on it. One, I had no experience with – DragonFlyBSD (other than using Matthew Dillon's C compiler for the Amiga back in the day!) and so it was uncharted territory for me. After getting the install working, I started playing around inside of DragonFlyBSD and discovered to my delight that it was a great operating system with some really unique features – all with that BSD commitment to good documentation and a solid coupling of kernel and userland that doesn't exist (by design) in Linux. So my goal for my DragonFlyBSD desktop experience was to be as BSD as I possibly could. Given that (and since I'm the maintainer of the port on OpenBSD ), I went with Lumina as the desktop environment and XDM as the graphical login manager. I have to confess that I really like the xfce terminal application so I wanted to make sure I had that as well. Toss in Firefox, libreOffice and ownCloud sync client and I'm good to go! OK. So where to start. First, we need to get WiFi and wired networking happening for the console at login. To do that, I added the following to /etc/rc.conf: wlans_iwn0=”wlan0″ ifconfig_wlan0=”WPA DHCP” ifconfig_em0=”DHCP” I then edited /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to put in the details of my WiFi network: network={ ssid=”MY-NETWORK-NAME” psk=”my-super-secret-password” } A quick reboot showed that both wired and wireless networking were functional and automatically were assigned IP addresses via DHCP. Next up is to try getting into X with whatever DragonFlyBSD uses for its default window manager. A straight up “startx” met with, shall we say, less than stellar results. Therefore, I used the following command to generate a simple /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: # Xorg -configure # cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf With that file in place, I could get into the default window manager, but I had no mouse. After some searching and pinging folks on the mailing list, I was able to figure out what I needed to do. I added the following to my /etc/rc.conf file: moused_enable=”YES” moused_type=”auto” moused_port=”/dev/psm0″ I rebooted (I'm sure there is an easier way to get the changes but I don't know it… yet) and was able to get into a basic X session and have a functional mouse. Next up, installing and configuring Lumina! To do that, I went through the incredibly torturous process of installing Lumina: # pkg install lumina Wow! That was really, really hard. I might need to pause here to catch my breath.

Not many musical theatre composers developed their chops while dueling in a basement-level Times Square Irish bar. Brad Alexander has, and in this episode he and Jarret discuss the challenges of performing dueling pianos in Manhattan while they try to solve the age-old entertainer's question: what makes New Yorkers tick? The show "See Rock City & Other Destinations," for which Brad wrote the music, won a 2011 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical. Even so, he still gets bashful when his friends request to hear it at the piano bar.
