It's the easiest, simplest thing.[00:14] It's so good for you. And I'm gonna tell you exactly what it is. So relax and settle in and listen up, because your stress therapy session is about to begin.[00:39] Hey, beautiful people. It's time for some stress therapy. A podcast about how to meditate and get better at stress for people living in the real world. Finally, a place to Park.[00:48] My 25 plus years of experience of working as a psychotherapist in the mental health field. And now your host, me, the stress therapist, Sheri Flake.[01:03] Foreign.[01:13] Hey, beautiful people.[01:14] How's your beautiful self?[01:15] The Stress Therapist: Okay, so today we're going to talk about the simplest thing. It's so simple. It's easy, breezy, lemon squeezy on how to get your life to be a little bit different, a little bit better.[01:27] Help your brain be healthier, help your goals get met faster, and definitely wipe out some stress. Okay, so here's the deal.[01:37] My friend Bill O'Hanlon, I mean, this guy is a badass. First of all, not only has he written like 2,000 songs in like two years or something, like, he's something crazy.[01:45] He's written over 40 books, okay? He is a super badass friend of mine. He's great. I was certified in hypnotherapy a long time ago, and Bill O'Hanlon actually taught me the Milton Erickson sort of hypnotherapy ways, and it's far superior than what I learned first.[02:02] And he's just super smart. He does all of these great classes online. I don't know if he's still doing them because he's writing all these songs, but he. He wrote one book called Do One thing different and I'll put it in the show notes.[02:14] And I mean, my friend Bill, he hit the mother load, man. I mean, Oprah picked it up, loved it, and slam, bam, thanks, ma'am. All of it. He just hits the big time, right?[02:25] And everybody wants a little piece of this book. And what's cool about this book is he's got 40 books. He's got tons of books. I've read tons of his books.[02:32] He's a great, super smart guy. But what's great about this book is that it's very, very accessible. It's super duper simple. And, you know, I love that, right? And so what he says is the whole book is called Do One Thing different.[02:45] And I'm going to kind of summarize it here, but definitely pick it up if you want, or one of the myriad books that he has written. And what's great about this book is all he says is you start by doing exactly that one thing different.[02:56] So what does that mean? It means instead of walking in the grocery store and immediately turning right, what if you turned left? Okay. What if the next time you picked up your toothbrush, you did it with your non dominant hand?[03:12] Okay. What if you flossed before you brushed? What if you put your socks on before your pants? What if you meditated before you looked at your phone? You know what I'm saying?[03:23] Like you're just doing the littlest, teensiest, tiny thing. What if you put your right shoe on before your left shoe or whatever, whatever you normally do. What if you just changed one little thing?[03:34] Why would we do this? Why would we do this? Well, first of all, when you interrupt patterns, whether they're negative or positive or whatever, you create flexibility in your mind.[03:46] You reduce the tendency to be stuck in ruts, okay? And when you do it often enough, you enhance neuroplasticity in your brain, which means the ability for your brain to change, you can change.[03:59] It's not true. The old dogs new trick things, that stuff's not true. You can change. So your brain is super adaptable and it's constantly rewiring itself and this creates new neural connections, okay?[04:12] And then you're able to learn quicker. You get all of these cognitive benefits, these problem solving skills. You're quicker at stuff, you learn things better. It's new ways of thinking and a better mood, reduced stress, all that stuff.[04:26] Right? Okay, but what the big money idea is, let's say that you decide to do this right? And you're like, okay, I can do that. That's no big deal. I mean, I really want you.[04:33] That's your homework. You're supposed to do this. Okay? I want you to try it and tell me how you did. But let's say that you did it over and over and over again, which is often my message here about, you know, you know.[04:44] Well, there's two messages really. The idea that Bill is pointing out here is going to be clear in about a minute. But what if whatever change you made was working towards a goal that you have?[04:55] Okay, so like I just signed up for this class and it's online and I don't do good with these things. I need to

Hello to you listening in Sebastopol, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  I have been following legendary singer/songwriter, actress, teacher, and broad-coalition activist Holly Near for decades and decades. Once upon a time I sat in on a concert she gave at the Orange Coast Unitarian Universalist Church in Costa Mesa, California. My life was never the same. I felt then that music can be a vehicle for empathy, understanding, introspection, and social evolution in a rapidly changing world.Of her many songs that speak to me and millions of listeners like me Planet Called Home never fails to resonate. It's the kind of earth-moving inspirational that will make your socks roll up and down and get you using your creativity to help this planet called home. How? “If each one did just one thing beautifully * Complex life on Earth might not die.”Click HERE to listen to Holly Near sing Planet Called Home/The Souls Are Coming Back on her recording of the same name.Click HERE to watch and listen to Holly Near's performance of Planet Called Home given at the 2003 Bioneers National Conference.Story Prompt: What is the one thing you can do beautifully? Are you ready to brave what it will take to do that for our  Planet Called Home? Write that story!  Planet Called Home [Song by Holly Near]… Can you call on your imaginationAs if telling a myth to a childPut in the fantastical, wonderful, magicalAdd the romantic, the brave and the wild… Once upon a time there was a powerSo great that no one could know its namePeople tried to change it and rule with itBut always such arrogance ended in shame.… Thousands of years would pass in a momentHundreds of cultures would come and goEach generation with a glorious callingEven when they were too busy to know… And then one day after two millenniaWhich after all was a small part of timeHundreds of souls found their way out of nowhereTo be on earth at the threat of decline… Let's all go, they moved as one beingEven though each would arrive here aloneThey promised to work in grace with each otherTo brave the beautiful planet called home… Now, there was no promise that they could save itBut how exciting to give it a tryIf each one did just one thing beautifullyComplex life on Earth might not die… And so they arrived in a spectrum of colorsThe population on earth did explodeSome threw themselves in front of disasterAnd others slowly carried their load… Some adopted small girls from ChinaSome lived high in the branches of treesSome died as martyrs, some lived as healersAnd, some bravely walked with a dreadful disease… They mingled among each class and each cultureNot one of them could be identifiedBut together they altered just enough momentsTo help the lost and the terrified… To step outside of our egos and bodiesTo know for once that we truly are oneThen quickly we would forget to rememberBut that's okay, their job was well done… And earth went on for another millenniumNow its time for this song to endThis magical story of hope and wonderInvites you all to wake up and pretend to be… Fabulous creatures sent from the powerSouls that have come with one purpose in mindTo do one thing that will alter the outcomeAnd maybe together we can do it in time… Can you call on your imaginationAs if telling a myth to a childPut in the fantastical, wonderful, magicalAdd the romantic, the brave and the wildThe souls are comin backThe souls are comin backThe souls are comin back!You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer,✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your communication challenges, get in touch with me today✓ Stay current with Diane on as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack and on LinkedInStories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

If you are obsessed with productivity and making the most out of your time, this episode is for you! I'm outlining my very clear strategy for getting a full days worth of work done in exactly 3 hours.  It's taken me so many years of trial and error and reading so many books about high performers and habits and morning routines and efficiency… and from all of that, I've started doing this routine with ONE app that I will tell you about. Now I designed this for my work life but it honestly works so well in all parts of life.  It's about setting yourself up in an environment where you can be laser focused, super efficient, complete one thing before you go on to the next and avoid all distractions.  Today I'm giving you a complete blueprint for doing a full days worth of work in 3 hours.  Once you do it once and see how much you can get done, you'll be obsessed!  And - even better- feel the freedom of going out and enjoying the day after because you were just crazy productive. A few key points from this podcast: -Use app: Brain FM and set-up a 90 minute session.  -Make it impossible to be distracted  -Know ahead of time what you will work on during each session.  -Stay laser focused - know you are on a time limit.  -Do ONE THING at a time, and don't go on to something new until that one thing is done.  -Stick to the plan, do the hardest thing first.  -Get in a great environment - then don't get up for anything.  Keep a little water next to you- go to the restroom first etc.  This is 90 minutes of SOLID work.  -This works for ANYTHING you want to get done in your life too!  Not just work!  Plan a vacation, plan a kids party, organize your finances, whatever it is!  -Plan it out the night before, the morning of, or during your in between times- waiting for appointments, chill time at night, waiting in carpool, etc.  -One 90 minute session then break for 30 mins to eat and do what you need to do, then back on for another 90 minutes.  It's like a mid-way reward, and then another reward at the end.  Why this works so well! -It's impossible to do intense work all day - which is why people lag and space it out. -By being ULTRA productive for 3 hours- then you feel SO accomplished and the work doesn't drag out.  -It takes us SO long to get back in the rhythm after getting distracted.  -You do a BETTER job in less time because you are fully focused on it.  You aren't stopping to eat or for texts etc.  Because getting your stuff done in the most efficient way and then going out and living your life is the MOST AWESOME!!

Welcome to Meditation Monday. We're pausing each Monday for a few minutes of reflection and inspiration from the authors of the Hazelden Meditation series of books. Meditations are daily reflections, prayers, slogans and phrases intended to offer inspiration and comfort, and—above all—hope to those of us in recovery. The selections for this third Meditation Monday in March come from two of Hazelden's popular recovery resources: Today I will Do One Thing, by Tim Mc., and Day by Day, which was written anonymously. Together, these meditations invite us to embrace change and form new habits that will improve our lives in recovery. 

“And the current book, which is called do one thing and do one thing deep is about organizations and how we can just be more effective as an organization when we all understand what our purpose is, what the direction is that we are heading, and the part that we play in that.” “Making sure that they're recognising people who are doing the one thing well and holding others to account who aren't particularly in their leadership teams. Yeah, so rewarding and recognising and celebrating what's happened, so that everyone can see, you know, that the journey has been one worth taking.”  TIME STAMP SUMMARY01:09 “Can't we just do one thing?”06:26 Fitting into organizations the right way12:32 Needing a bit of certainty during these times17:21 Creating a sense of purpose Where to find Gayle Smerdon?Website                               https://www.gaylesmerdon.com/ LinkedIn                               https://www.linkedin.com/in/gayle-smerdon  Who is Gayle Smerdon?Gayle Smerdon, PhD, is a sociologist and workplace culture expert who believes that given the right environment, people have immense capability waiting to be revealed. Gayle works with curious and committed individuals, leaders, and teams, often in government and not-for-profit organisations, to identify and achieve ONE THING that will drive their success. The author of two books, "Do ONE THING and do it deep: how to focus and energise your organisation" and "iDevelop: take charge of your professional development by becoming a conscious learner", Gayle runs her own practice from Melbourne, speaking, coaching, and writing.

Gayle is a Sociologist and workplace culture expert who works predominantly with Government and Not-For-Profit organisations. Her new book, "Do ONE THING and do it deep", is about helping workplaces identify and accomplish whatever matters most to their success. Gayle's message is simple and practical. Stop wasting time, money and the goodwill of your employees by trying to do too much, doing nothing or doing things that don't make a difference - as that causes disengagement, frustration and overwhelm. My new book, "Do ONE THING and do it deep", is about helping workplaces identify and accomplish whatever matters most to their success. My message is simple and practical. Stop wasting time, money and the goodwill of your employees by trying to do too much, doing nothing or doing things that don't make a difference - as that causes disengagement, frustration and overwhelm. By focusing attention on ONE THING that matters, we can harness and direct the collective energy in our workplaces on creating something meaningful - and that's good for business and our people.

But not to be completely silly and frivolous (which is necessary from time to time) I have put together a challenge that I'm putting forth for myself and my family and now I pose it to you my friends: Daily challenge… Do One Thing that's expressly you and share it on Activate Humanity.

How a leadership mindset of action can lead to direction Sociologist and author Gayle Smerdon's time in local government led to her light-bulb moment: organisations and teams oscillate between doing everything and doing nothing when they should be doing one thing. By giving it the time and space to do it deeply they do it well. Gayle shares her ‘do one thing deep' leadership philosophy and breaks down the engagement required to create sustainable change. Why you should listen: a leadership framework for focus

I'm probably not the first person to raise an eyebrow when Elder S Gifford Nielsen suggested loving ourselves is the "implied" 3rd great commandment. Why is this principle of loving ourselves so important right now? I mean, this is the age of selfies and "me" time. Do we really need to love ourselves more? Aren't we supposed to forget ourselves and go to work serving and loving others? What about the claim that if we don't love ourselves, then we cannot truly love God? Elder Gifford said this:Our Heavenly Father wants us to love ourselves -- not to become prideful or self-centered, but to see ourselves as He sees us--we are His cherished children. When this truth sinks deep into our hearts, our love for God grows.This week my special guest is Brennen Eisenhut. Brennen works in the field of performance psychology, which is something I always associated with professional sports, but the principles apply in almost all areas of life. Brennen coaches individuals, groups, and company employees to help them learn, achieve, and grow in almost any aspect of their lives. In this episode, Brennen talks about the importance of loving ourselves and practicing self-compassion. Such an important concept! He also discusses the inevitable challenge of achieving that perfect balance between self-compassion and self-indulgence. Brennen also shares his thoughts on something so many of us have experienced--The "shame trap," and how we can get ourselves "unstuck" when we fall into a pattern of shame, as opposed to experiencing godly guilt that brings us closer to the Lord. Finally, Brennen will leave us with three pieces of advice to help us become better at practicing self-compassion. We can all use a little more of that, can't we!Do ONE ThingThis week, the Do ONE Thing invitation is to practice one of Brennen's tips on becoming better at practicing self-compassion:1. View mistakes like both a scientist and a loving mother.2.  The "Friend or Family Member" exercise3.  Focusing forwardResources"This is Our Time" -- S. Gifford Nielsen, April 2021"God Among Us" -- Dieter F. Uchtdorf, April 2021Follow Brennen on Instagram:  @Brennen_Eisenhut

Edified: Insights for LDS WomenEpisode 35, "Opening the Heavens"Season 2 Light Where You AreAirdate January 10, 2021This week we unpack some of the principles and promises from President M. Russell Ballard's talk, "Watch Ye Therefore, and Pray Always."Click here to view the complete transcript of this episode. Inside this episode:"And then, President Ballard scooted his chair back, and with some effort he stood and approached us. He shook each of our hands, looked us in the eyes, and thanked us for our service--complimenting the meal. I’ll never forget the image of him making the effort to stand in our presence. It was such a show of respect and it immediately endeared him to me. Shortly after he stood, several others followed his example. The meeting was brief, but thoughtful and memorable, and I was struck by how short President Ballard is. And yet what a giant he appears to be when speaking from the pulpit. Aside from being awestruck and tongue-tied -- I seem to get a serious case of hero worship when in the presence of our leaders and it causes me to say silly things that I later regret. But aside from this awkwardness on my part, I was struck by the realization that I was in the presence of a prophet of God--AND, there was one degree of separation between President Ballard and Jesus Christ. When I shook his hand, I felt as though I was connecting with Deity. It MIGHT have just been hero worship …. Or it MIGHT have been the Holy Ghost bearing witness to me that President Ballard was indeed a prophet."President Ballard shared nine promised blessings that will come to us as a result of redoubling our commitment to prayer:Peace and healing to individual souls, as well as the souls of countries.The ability to move forward with more confidence,We can open the heavens to receive personal revelation,Lift us and draw us together as individuals, families, as a church, and as a world,Influence scientists and help them toward discoveries and new medications,Comfort those who’ve lost a loved one,Guide us in knowing what to do for our own personal protection,Change our own lives and we can improve and help others do the same,We will come to know how we can bless our families, neighbors, communities, and the country we live in. DO ONE THING Invitation:President Ballard’s plea was for us to redouble our commitment to prayer. Prayer is such a personal thing, but wherever we are in our spiritual journey, redoubling our commitment to prayer will open the heavens for us to receive all the promises made by President Ballard. How has prayer blessed YOUR life?

“Pain, loss, and suffering is tied to our human existence. And yet, at the same time, we can experience joy and pleasure by figuring out what it means to be a human being in the face of all the things that we feel.” -Dr. Kelly Holder What feelings do the holidays evoke for you? Many people get super excited, even making plans way before the day. Yet, some find it hard to celebrate and even feel downhearted. Perhaps, the holidays bring back painful memories like the loss of a loved one, or being separated from the people they wish were there to celebrate with them. There are also family frictions, tensions, and differences that disrupt peace and rob off all the enjoyment. This week, Arlene and Dr. Kelly Holder talk about how you can celebrate the holidays without grief or shame. Kelly discusses how you can set up healthy boundaries, make room for differences, deal with grief, honor your loved ones who have died, and get closer with the people around you. If you’re torn between mourning a loss and celebrating life, know that these are not choices you have to pick from. They are instead, opportunities that you can take to learn how to be more human despite all the adversities. Listen in for awesome holiday ideas you can do this year to make this season more enjoyable and memorable!   You can also listen to more of Kelly’s wisdom, tips, and advice about coping with feelings of uncertainty and holiday blues.    Join the Mindset Meets Mastery Today  Book Writing Business  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram LinkedIn   YouTube  Highlights: 00:50 Are You Ready For the Holidays?  07:10 What Makes a Holiday Hard to Celebrate 11:50 A Unique Holiday 17:27 How to Cope with Grief and Do Things Differently 27:57 How Asking For Help Improve Relationships 33:54 Mourning the Loss and Celebrating the Life 40:44 The Best Thing You Can Teach Your Kids  44:47 The Best Thing You Can Do for Yourself 49:30 The Better Way to See Other's Opinion of You 54:25 Do One Thing at a Time

1. The Shifting Moment 2. Do One Thing and Do It Well 3. It Doesn't Need to Have a Quantifiable Return

点击每期节目可以看到具体文稿内容The Practice of One Thing at a TimeBy Leo BabautaThere's a Japanese term, “ichigyo-zammai,” that basically means full concentration on a single act.Sunryu Suzuki described this practice in his book, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, and said this practice of being fully in the moment with the activity is enlightened activity.“So instead of having some object of worship, we just concentrate on the activity which we do in each moment,” Suzuki Roshi wrote. “When you bow, you should just bow; when you sit, you should just sit; when you eat, you should just eat.”He said when we just do that one activity, we express our true nature.What a beautiful idea, that when we aren't present, our true nature cannot fully express itself … but when we are truly just doing whatever we're doing, we start to express our true selves.But it's easier said than done. How often are we not in the moment?Think about times when we are:Jumping between tasks in a browserChecking our phones while doing other things throughout the dayIn a rush to do the next thing while still doing the current thingThinking about other things when someone is talking to usIrritated by someone when they interrupt whatever we're doingTaking whatever we're doing for granted, because it's dull or routineIt turns out, we are very rarely fully in the moment with any single activity. How can we try this enlightened activity of full concentration on one act?How to Do One Thing at a TimeThese are as much reminders to myself as they are reminders for you, but here's what I've been practicing with:When you start an activity, turn to it with your full attention and set an intention to be present with the act, to do nothing but this activity. You might think, “Just walk” or “Just read” or “Just drink tea.”You might open up a wide-open, sky-like panoramic awareness as you do the activity, being fully engaged with the entire moment.When you notice yourself thinking about something else, or getting your attention pulled elsewhere, or starting down a pattern of judgment, resentment, etc. … just notice. Then return to being fully present with the activity.Empty your mind of preconceived ideas about the activity, and just be curious about what the activity is actually like, right now, as it unfolds. Allow yourself to be surprised.Treat every object with reverence, as if it were your own eyesight.See the brilliance of each moment, of each activity, that underlies everything around us.Just write. Just shower. Just give someone your full attention.As we give each activity our full loving attention, we start to appreciate each person, each object, everything around us as something worthy of respect, love, and gratitude.We start to take life up on the opportunity to fully engage with it, with a smile and a bow.968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯

The sassy founder of The Year of Fear Project, Kendra Wright, keeps it real, while our featured artist (Will Carter) drops a bomb at the end of his interview. This week's challenge: Do ONE THING non-routine this week. Be intentional, put it on your calendar and live on purpose.

This week on the show, Allan and I have gotten a bit more sleep since AsiaBSDCon, which is excellent since there is a LOT of news to cover. That plus our interview with Ports SecTeam member Mark Felder. So keep it This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeNAS 9.10 Released (http://lists.freenas.org/pipermail/freenas-announce/2016-March/000028.html) OS: The base OS version for FreeNAS 9.10 is now FreeBSD 10.3-RC3, bringing in a huge number of OS-related bug fixes, performance improvements and new features. +Directory Services: You can now connect to large AD domains with cache disabled. +Reporting: Add the ability to send collectd data to a remote graphite server. +Hardware Support: Added Support for Intel I219-V & I219-LM Gigabit Ethernet Chipset Added Support for Intel Skylake architecture Improved support for USB devices (like network adapters) USB 3.0 devices now supported. +Filesharing: Samba (SMB filesharing) updated from version 4.1 to 4.3.4 Added GUI feature to allow nfsv3-like ownership when using nfsv4 Various bug fixes related to FreeBSD 10. +Ports: FreeBSD ports updated to follow the FreeBSD 2016Q1 branch. +Jails: FreeBSD Jails now default to a FreeBSD 10.3-RC2 based template. Old jails, or systems on which jails have been installed, will still default to the previous FreeBSD 9.3 based template. Only those machinesusing jails for the first time (or deleting and recreating their jails dataset) will use the new template. +bhyve: ++In the upcoming 10 release, the CLI will offer full support for managing virtual machines and containers. Until then, the iohyve command is bundled as a stop-gap solution to provide basic VM management support - *** Ubuntu BSD's first Beta Release (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntubsd/) Under the category of “Where did this come from?”, we have a first beta release of Ubuntu BSD. Specifically it is Ubuntu, respun to use the FreeBSD kernel and ZFS natively. From looking at the minimal information up on sourceforge, we gather that is has a nice text-based installer, which supports ZFS configuration and iSCSI volume creation setups. Aside from that, it includes the XFCE desktop out of box, but claims to be suitable for both desktops and servers alike right now. We will keep an eye on this, if anybody listening has already tested it out, maybe drop us a line on your thoughts of how this mash-up works out. *** FreeBSD - a lesson in poor defaults (http://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.txt) Former BSD producer, and now OpenBSD developer, TJ, writes a post detailing the defaults he changes in a fresh FreeBSD installation Maybe some of these should be the defaults While others are definitely a personal preference, or are not as security related as they seem A few of these, while valid criticisms, but some are done for a reason Specifically, the OpenSSH changes. So, you're a user, you install FreeBSD 10.0, and it comes with OpenSSH version X, which has some specific defaults As guaranteed by the FreeBSD Project, you will have a nice smooth upgrade path to any version in the 10.x branch Just because OpenSSH has released version Y, doesn't mean that the upgrade can suddenly remove support for DSA keys, or re-adding support for AES-CBC (which is not really weak, and which can be hardware accelerated, unlikely most of the replacements) “FreeBSD is the team trying to increase the risk.” Is incorrect, they are trying to reduce the impact on the end user Specifically, a user upgrading from 10.x to 10.3, should not end up locked out of their SSH server, or otherwise confronted by unexpected errors or slowdowns because of upstream changes I will note again, (and again), that the NONE cipher can NOT allow a user to “shoot themselves in the foot”, encryption is still used during the login phase, it is just disabled for the file transfer phase. The NONE cipher will refuse to work for an interactive session. While the post states that the NONE cipher doesn't improve performance that much, it infact does In my own testing, chacha20-poly1305 1.3 gbps, aes128-gcm (fastest) 5.0 gbps, NONE cipher 6.3 gbps That means that the NONE cipher is an hour faster to transfer 10 TB over the LAN. The article suggests just removing sendmail with no replacement. Not sure how they expect users to deliver mail, or the daily/weekly reports Ports can be compiled as a regular user. Only the install phase requires root for ntpd, it is not clear that there is an acceptable replacement yet, but I will not that it is off by default In the sysctl section, I am not sure I see how enabling tcp blackhole actually increases security at all I am not sure that linking to every security advisory in openssl since 2001 is actually useful Encrypted swap is an option in bsdinstall now, but I am not sure it is really that important FreeBSD now uses the Fortuna PRNG, upgraded to replace the older Yarrow, not vanilla RC4. “The resistance from the security team to phase out legacy options makes mewonder if they should be called a compatibility team instead.” I do not think this is the choice of the security team, it is the ABI guarantee that the project makes. The stable/10 branch will always have the same ABI, and a program or driver compiled against it will work with any version on that branch The security team doesn't really have a choice in the matter. Switching the version of OpenSSL used in FreeBSD 9.x would likely break a large number of applications the user has installed Something may need to be done differently, since it doesn't look like any version of OpenSSL, (or OpenSSH), will be supported for 5 years ever again *** ZFS Raidz Performance, Capacity and Integrity (https://calomel.org/zfs_raid_speed_capacity.html) An updated version of an article comparing the performance of various ZFS vdev configurations The settings users in the test may not reflect your workload If you are benchmarking ZFS, consider using multiple files across different datasets, and not making all of the writes synchronous Also, it is advisable to run more than 3 runs of each test Comparing the numbers from the 12 and 24 disk tests, it is surprising to see that the 12 mirror sets did not outperform the other configurations. In the 12 drive tests, the 6 mirror sets had about the same read performance as the other configurations, it is not clear why the performance with more disks is worse, or why it is no longer in line with the other configurations More investigation of this would be required There are obviously so other bottlenecks, as 5x SSDs in RAID-Z1 performed the same as 17x SSDs in RAID-Z1 Interesting results none the less *** iXSystems FreeNAS Mini Review (http://www.nasanda.com/2016/03/ixsystems-freenas-mini-nas-device-reviewed/) Interview - Mark Felder - feld@freebsd.org (mailto:feld@freebsd.org) / @feldpos (https://twitter.com/feldpos) Ports, Ports and more Ports DigitalOcean Digital Ocean's guide to setting up an OpenVPN server (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-and-connect-to-a-private-openvpn-server-on-freebsd-10-1) News Roundup AsiaBSDCon OpenBSD Papers (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160316153158&mode=flat&count=0) + Undeadly.org has compiled a handy list of the various OpenBSD talks / papers that were offered a few weeks ago at AsiaBSDCon 2016. Antoine Jacoutot (ajacoutot@) - OpenBSD rc.d(8) (slides | paper) Henning Brauer (henning@) - Running an ISP on OpenBSD (slides) Mike Belopuhov (mikeb@) - Implementation of Xen PVHVM drivers in OpenBSD (slides | paper) Mike Belopuhov (mikeb@) - OpenBSD project status update (slides) Mike Larkin (mlarkin@) - OpenBSD vmm Update (slides) Reyk Floeter (reyk@) - OpenBSD vmd Update (slides) Each talk provides slides, and some the papers as well. Also included is the update to ‘vmm' discussed at bhyveCon, which will be of interest to virtualization enthusiasts. *** Bitcoin Devs could learn a lot from BSD (http://bitcoinist.net/bitcoin-devs-could-learn-a-lot-from-bsd/) An interesting article this week, comparing two projects that at first glance may not be entirely related, namely BitCoin and BSD. The article first details some of the woes currently plaguing the BitCoin development community, such as toxic community feedback to changes and stakeholders with vested financial interests being unable to work towards a common development purpose. This leads into the crux or the article, about what BitCoin devs could learn from BSD: First and foremost, the way code is developed needs change to stop the current negative trend in Bitcoin. The FreeBSD project has a rigid internal hierarchy of people with write access to their codebase, which the various Bitcoin implementations also have, but BSD does this in a way that is very open to fresh eyes on their code, allowing parallel problem solving without the petty infighting we see in Bitcoin. Anyone can propose a commit publicly to the code, make it publicly available, and democratically decide which change ends up in the codebase. FreeBSD has a tiny number of core developers compared to the size of their codebase, but at any point, they have a huge community advancing their project without hard forks popping up at every small disagreement. Brian Armstrong commented recently on this flaw with Bitcoin development, particularly with the Core Devs: “Being high IQ is not enough for a team to succeed. You need to make reasonable tradeoffs, collaborate, be welcoming, communicate, and be easy to work with. Any team that doesn't have this will be unable to attract top talent and will struggle long term. In my opinion, perhaps the biggest risk in Bitcoin right now is, ironically, one of the things which has helped it the most in the past: the Bitcoin Core developers.” A good summary of the culture that could be adopted is summed up as follows: The other thing Bitcoin devs could learn from is the BSD community's adoption of the Unix Design philosophy. Primarily “Worse is Better,” The rule of Diversity, and Do One Thing and Do It Well. “Worse is Better” emphasizes using extant functional solutions rather than making more complex ones, even if they would be more robust. The Rule of Diversity stresses flexibility of the program being developed, allowing for modification and different implementations without breaking. Do one Thing and Do it well is a mantra of the BSD and Unix Communities that stresses modularity and progress over “perfect” solutions. Each of these elements help to make BSD a wildly successful open source project with a healthy development community and lots of inter-cooperation between the different BSD systems. While this is the opposite of what we see with Bitcoin at present, the situation is salvageable provided changes like this are made, especially by Core Developers. All in all, a well written and interesting take on the FreeBSD/BSD project. We hope the BitCoin devs can take something useful from it down the road. *** FreeBSD cross-compiling with gcc and poudriere (http://ben.eficium.net/2016/03/freebsd-cross-compiling-with-gcc.html) Cross-Compiling, always a challenge, has gotten easier using poudriere and qemu in recent years. However this blog post details some of the particular issues still being face when trying to compile some certain ports for ARM (I.E. rPi) that don't play nicely with FreeBSD's default CLANG compiler. The writer (Ben Slack) takes us through some of the work-arounds he uses to build some troublesome ports, namely lsof and libatomic_ops. Note this is not just an issue with cross compile, the above mentioned ports also don't build with clang on the Pi directly. After doing the initial poudriere/qemu cross-compile setup, he then shows us the minor tweaks to adjust which compiler builds specific ports, and how he triggers the builds using poudriere. With the actual Makefile adjustment being so minor, one wonders if this shouldn't just be committed upstream, with some if (ARM) - USE_GCC=yes type conditional. *** Nvidia releases new Beta graphics driver for FreeBSD (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/925607/unix-graphics-announcements-and-news/linux-solaris-and-freebsd-driver-364-12-beta-/) Added support for the following GPUs: GeForce 920MX & GeForce 930MX Added support for the Vulkan API version 1.0. Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect frame rate reporting on Quadro Sync configurations with multiple GPUs. Added a new RandR property, CscMatrix, which specifies a 3x4 color-space conversion matrix. Improved handling of the X gamma ramp on GF119 and newer GPUs. On these GPUs, the RandR gamma ramp is always 1024 entries and now applies to the cursor and VDPAU or workstation overlays in addition to the X root window.
