Unfortunately last month of ModChat was missed so... I figured I'd double up and pack two episodes worth of content into one for hitting the ONE HUNDREDTH episode milestone! Here we discuss an whole slew of PS3 news and updates related to the recently released 4.90 firmware update. Legendary PS1 game The Legend of Dragoon gets a playable PC port, and PS1 games get some more love with mouse support in DuckStation! OPL for PS2 also gets a BIG upgrade in the form of exFAT internal hard drive support. We also cover some sad news with CTurt deciding to retire, but we get a look at his mast1c0re part 2 write-up. Modern day Xbox (One and Series) homebrew takes a hit where we discuss the recent outright block of retail side homebrew. We revisit the Picofly rumors showing a release and an upcoming piece of hardware teased by the name of McFly! Finally after this long, LONG episode I have a bit of an extended outro reflecting on the inception of ModChat, phases it went through, and the future.

Este es un episodio especial para Noticias de Tecnología Express, en donde no hablaremos de noticias recientes, sino tendremos una reseña a fondo de un dispositivo que se ha vuelto el favorito para quienes la hemos usado en el mercado latino y español. Bienvenido a esta reseña de la Xiaomi Pad 5.Puedes apoyar la realización de este programa con una suscripción. Más información por acáLas características más importantes de este dispositivos son su procesador Snapdragon 860 de 8 nucleos, 6 GB de RAM, batería de 8720 mAh, pantalla de 11 pulgadas con resolución de 2560 x 1600p con tasa de refresco de 102 Hz, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 4 bocinas con Dolby Atmos y pesa solo 511 gramos. ¡Ah! Y cuenta con carga rápida, y si tienes un cargador Xiaomi para este dispositivo, en una hora puedes tenerla al 100% y con un rendimiento de 12 horas de funcionamiento.EDIT: La tablet sí te permite conectarle discos duros, pero como está basada en Android (lo cual viene de Linux) no reconoce particiones ExFat. Todos mis discos duros externos están con ese sistema de particiones, por lo cual no los reconocía la tablet.Actualización: Después adquirí el teclado de Xiaomi diseñado para esta tableta y es una verdadera maravilla. Es más fácil trabajar con él que con el de las nuevas MacBooks Pro. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

¿Qué accesorios utilizar en fotografía nocturna? Como os dijimos muchas veces nos encontramos con compañeros fotógrafos que quieren cambiar de equipo, pensando que con un mejor equipo van a tomar mejores fotografías nocturnas, y no es así. https://youtu.be/HxclMOwqVV8 Lo interesante a la hora de salir en busca de una buena fotografia nocturna es tener una buena planificación, no solo de la fotografía, si no de como capturarla para sacarle el máximo partido a la localización con nuestro equipo. Os recomendamos un libro de procesado avanzado que puede ayudarnos mucho a la hora de conseguir ese plus que nuestro equipo no nos da. Se titula Técnicas Avanzadas de edición digital os dejamos el enlace a continuación. Todo un lujo tener un libro como este, ojo es un libro electrónico no esta en papel. Cual es el mejor objetivo para fotografía nocturna? Después hablamos de los objetivos y os hable de mi experiencia con 2, principalmente con la marca Samyang y con Irix. El primero es un objetivo "Barato", que da buenos resultados, pero su calidad/precio ha quedado en entredicho con la aparición de nuevas marcas como por ejemplo Irix. Como os dijimos en el directo, es una opción, pero si queremos una calidad superior nos decantamos por Irix 15 mm Por la diferencia de precio no hay color. Tarjetas de memoria para fotografía nocturna Os hablamos también de la importancia de una buena tarjeta de memoria. Hay muchas pero vamos a centrarnos en SD, que es el standard ahora mismo, y hay que fijarse en algunas peculiaridades. Hasta ahora podemos encontrar: normal, HC y XC. SD -> 16MB, 32 MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB. No soportan el BUS UHS. SDHC-> 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB. Soportan BUS UHS. SDXC-> 64GB, 128GB, 200GB, 512GB, 2TB. Soportan BUS UHS. Tipo de BUS UHS UHS-I: 104MB/sg Velocidad máxima de lectura/escritura. UHS-II: 312MB/sg Velocidad máxima de lectura/escritura. Clase de BUS UHS U1: 10MB/sg Velocidad mínima de escritura. U3: 30MB/sg Velocidad mínima de escritura. Clase Clase 2: 2MB/sg Clase 4: 4MB/sg Clase 6: 6MB/sg Clase 10: 10MB/sg Capacidad de almacenamiento La cantidad de memoria que puede almacenar esa tarjeta. Tipos de tarjetas según las siglas Las siglas SD, SDHC y SDXC vienen dadas por la capacidad de las mismas. SD (Security Digital) fueron las primeras que se lanzaron compitiendo con otros formatos, como las XD o las Memory Stick, y su capacidad llegaba a alcanzar los 32GB. Luego llegaron las SDHC (SD High Capacity) que otorgaban mayor confianza y velocidad en el guardado de archivos grandes y, en teoría, son capaces de llegar a las 2TB, pero la SD Association estableció su límite en 32GB. Y por último las SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity), las cuales llegan a 2TB y por cuenta de que guardan mayor cantidad de datos, necesitan más velocidad, por lo que vienen con BUS, además están preparadas para poder ser formateadas en exFAT. Los buses se crearon para las tarjetas de mayor rendimiento, pues era necesario que fuesen capaces de escribir a gran velocidad grandes cantidades de datos provenientes de los vídeos FullHD en adelante (2K,4K...), sin que la grabación del dispositivo fuese detenida por culpa de la tarjeta. Después de estos datos técnicos os recomendamos un par de tarjetas: Como veis a la hora de realizar una buena fotografía nocturna son muchas las cosas a tener en cuenta, desde la planificación, la preparación y tener claro cómo tenemos que realizar la fotografia que tenemos en la cabeza. Como plus os dejamos el enlace a una pequeña power bank pero muy eficiente: Nos vemos en el proximo directo.

AsiaBSDcon review, Meltdown and Spectre Patches in FreeBSD stable, Interview with MidnightBSD founder, 8 months with TrueOS, mysteries of GNU and BSD split This episode was brought to you by Headlines AsiaBSDCon 2018 has concluded (https://2018.asiabsdcon.org/) We have just returned from AsiaBSDCon in Tokyo, Japan last weekend Please excuse our jetlag The conference consisted two days of meeting followed by 2 days of paper presentations We arrived a few days early to see some sights and take a few extra delicious meals in Tokyo The first day of meetings was a FreeBSD developer summit (while Benedict was teaching his two tutorials) where we discussed the FreeBSD release cycle and our thoughts on improving it, the new Casper capsicum helper service, and developments in SDIO which will eventually enable WiFi and SD card readers on more embedded devices The second day of meetings consisted of bhyvecon, a miniconf that covered development in all hypervisors on all BSDs. It also included presentations on the porting of bhyve to IllumOS. Then the conference started There were a number of great presentations, plus an amazing hallway track as usual It was great to see many old friends and to spend time discussing the latest happenings in BSD. A couple of people came by and asked to take a picture with us and we were happy to do that. *** FreeBSD releases Spectre and Meltdown mitigations for 11.1 (https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-18:03.speculative_execution.asc) Speculative execution vulnerability mitigation is a work in progress. This advisory addresses the most significant issues for FreeBSD 11.1 on amd64 CPUs. We expect to update this advisory to include 10.x for amd64 CPUs. Future FreeBSD releases will address this issue on i386 and other CPUs. freebsd-update will include changes on i386 as part of this update due to common code changes shared between amd64 and i386, however it contains no functional changes for i386 (in particular, it does not mitigate the issue on i386). Many modern processors have implementation issues that allow unprivileged attackers to bypass user-kernel or inter-process memory access restrictions by exploiting speculative execution and shared resources (for example, caches). An attacker may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from a process when executing untrusted code (for example, in a web browser). + Meltdown: The mitigation is known as Page Table Isolation (PTI). PTI largely separates kernel and user mode page tables, so that even during speculative execution most of the kernel's data is unmapped and not accessible. A demonstration of the Meltdown vulnerability is available at https://github.com/dag-erling/meltdown. A positive result is definitive (that is, the vulnerability exists with certainty). A negative result indicates either that the CPU is not affected, or that the test is not capable of demonstrating the issue on the CPU (and may need to be modified). A patched kernel will automatically enable PTI on Intel CPUs. The status can be checked via the vm.pmap.pti sysctl PTI introduces a performance regression. The observed performance loss is significant in microbenchmarks of system call overhead, but is much smaller for many real workloads. + Spectre V2: There are two common mitigations for Spectre V2. This patch includes a mitigation using Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation, a feature available via a microcode update from processor manufacturers. The alternate mitigation, Retpoline, is a feature available in newer compilers. The feasibility of applying Retpoline to stable branches and/or releases is under investigation. The patch includes the IBRS mitigation for Spectre V2. To use the mitigation the system must have an updated microcode; with older microcode a patched kernel will function without the mitigation. IBRS can be disabled via the hw.ibrsdisable sysctl (and tunable), and the status can be checked via the hw.ibrsactive sysctl. IBRS may be enabled or disabled at runtime. Additional detail on microcode updates will follow. + Wiki tracking the vulnerabilities and mitigations on different platforms (https://wiki.freebsd.org/SpeculativeExecutionVulnerabilities) Interview with MidnightBSD Founder and Lead Dev Lucas Holt (https://itsfoss.com/midnightbsd-founder-lucas-holt/) Recently, I have taken a little dip into the world of BSD. As part of my attempt to understand the BSD world a little better, I connected with Lucas Holt (MidnightBSD founder and lead developer) to ask him a few questions about his project. Here are his answers. It's FOSS: Please explain MidnightBSD in a nutshell. How is it different than other BSDs? Lucas Holt: MidnightBSD is a desktop focused operating system. When it's considered stable, it will provide a full desktop experience. This differs from other efforts such as TrueOS or GhostBSD in that it's not a distro of FreeBSD, but rather a fork. MidnightBSD has its own package manager, mport as well as unique package cluster software and several features built into user land such as mDNSresponder, libdispatch, and customizations throughout the system. It's FOSS: Who is MidnightBSD aimed at? Lucas Holt: The goal with MidnightBSD has always been to provide a desktop OS that's usable for everyday tasks and that even somewhat non technical people can use. Early versions of Mac OS X were certainly an inspiration. In practice, we're rather far from that goal at this point, but it's been an excellent learning opportunity. It's FOSS: What is your background in computers? Lucas Holt: I started in technical support at a small ISP and moved into web design and system administration. While there, I learned BSDi, Solaris and Linux. I also started tinkering with programming web apps in ASP and a little perl CGI. I then did a mix of programming and system administration jobs through college and graduated with a bachelors in C.S. from Eastern Michigan University. During that time, I learned NetBSD and FreeBSD. I started working on several projects such as porting Apple's HFS+ code to FreeBSD 6 and working on getting the nforce2 chipset SATA controller working with FreeBSD 6, with the latter getting committed. I got a real taste for BSD and after seeing the lack of interest in the community for desktop BSDs, I started MidnightBSD. I began work on it in late 2005. Currently, I'm a Senior Software Engineer focusing on backend rest services by day and a part-time graduate student at the University of Michigan Flint. It's FOSS: I recently installed TrueOS. I was disappointed that a couple of the programs I wanted were not available. The FreeBSD port system looked mildly complicated for beginners. I'm used to using pacman to get the job done quickly. How does MidnightBSD deal with ports? Lucas Holt: MidnightBSD has it's own port system, mports, which shared similarities with FreeBSD ports as well as some ideas from OpenBSD. We decided early on that decent package management was essential for regular users. Power users will still use ports for certain software, but it's just so time consuming to build everything. We started work on our own package manager, mport. Every package is a tar lzma archive with a sqlite3 manifest file as well as a sqlite 3 index that's downloaded from our server. This allows users to query and customize the package system with standard SQL queries. We're also building more user friendly graphical tools. Package availability is another issue that most BSDs have. Software tends to be written for one or two operating systems and many projects are reluctant to support other systems, particularly smaller projects like MidnightBSD. There are certainly gaps. All of the BSD projects need more volunteers to help with porting software and keeping it up to date. It's FOSS: During your June 2015 interview on BSDNow, you mentioned that even though you support both i386 and amd64, that you recommend people choose amd64. Do you have any plans to drop i386 support in the future, like many have done? Lucas Holt: Yes, we do plan to drop i386 support, mostly because of the extra work needed to build and maintain packages. I've held off on this so far because I had a lot of feedback from users in South America that they still needed it. For now, the plan is to keep i386 support through 1.0 release. That's probably a year or two out. It's FOSS: What desktop environments does MidnightBSD support? Lucas Holt: The original plan was to use Etoile as a desktop environment, but that project changed focus. We currently support Xfce, Gnome 3, WindowMaker + GNUstep + Gworkspace as primary choices. We also have several other window managers and desktop environments available such as Enlightenment, rat poison, afterstep, etc. Early versions offered KDE 3.x but we had some issues with KDE 4. We may revisit that with newer versions. It's FOSS: What is MidnightBSD's default filesystem? Do you support DragonflyBSD's HAMMER filesystem? What other filesystems? Lucas Holt: Boot volumes are UFS2. We also support ZFS for additional storage. We have read support for ExFat, NTFS, ext2, CD9660. NFS v3 and v4 are also supported for network file systems. We do not support HAMMER, although it was considered. I would love to see HAMMER2 get added to MidnightBSD eventually. It's FOSS: Is MidnightBSD affected by the recent Spectre and Meltdown issues? Lucas Holt: Yes. Most operating systems were affected by these issues. We were not informed of the issue until the general public became aware. Work is ongoing to come up with appropriate mitigations. Unfortunately, we do not have a patch yet. It's FOSS: The Raspberry Pi and its many clones have made the ARM platform very popular. Are there any plans to make MidnightBSD available on that platform? Lucas Holt: No immediate plans. ARM is an interesting architecture, but by the very nature of SoC designs, takes a lot of work to support a broad number of devices. It might be possible when we stop supporting i386 or if someone volunteers to work on the ARM port. Eventually, I think most hobby systems will need to run ARM chips. Intel's planning on locking down hardware with UEFI 3 and this may make it difficult to run on commodity hardware in the future not only for MidnightBSD but other systems as well. At one point, MidinightBSD ran on sparc64. When workstations were killed off, we dropped support. A desktop OS on a server platform makes little sense. It's FOSS: Does MidnightBSD offer support for Linux applications? Lucas Holt: Yes, we offer Linux emulation. It's emulating a 2.6.16 kernel currently and that needs to be updated so support newer apps. It's possible to run semi-recent versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Java, and OpenOffice on it though. I've also used it to host game servers in the past and play older games such as Quake 3, enemy territory, etc. It's FOSS: Could you comment on the recent dust-up between the Pale Moon browser developers and the team behind the OpenBSD ports system? [Author's Note: For those who haven't heard about this, let me summarize. Last month, someone from the OpenBSD team added the Pale Moon browser to their ports collection. A Pale Moon developer demanded that they include Pale Moon's libraries instead of using system libraries. As the conversation continued, it got more hostile, especially on the Pale Moon side. The net result is that Pale Moon will not be available on OpenBSD, MidnightBSD, or FreeBSD.] Lucas Holt: I found this discussion frustrating. Many of the BSD projects hear a lot of complaints about browser availability and compatibility. With Firefox moving to Rust, it makes it even more difficult. Then you get into branding issues. Like Firefox, the Pale Moon developers have decided to protect their brand at the cost of users. Unlike the Firefox devs, they've made even stranger requirements for branding. It is not possible to use a system library version of anything with Pale Moon and keep their branding requirements. As such, we cannot offer Pale Moon in MidnightBSD. The reason this is an issue for an open source project is that many third party libraries are used in something as complex as a web browser. For instance, Gecko-based browsers use several multimedia libraries, sqlite3 (for bookmarks), audio and video codecs, etc. Trying to maintain upstream patches for each of these items is difficult. That's why the BSDs have ports collections to begin with. It allows us to track and manage custom patches to make all these libraries work. We go through a lot of effort in keeping these up to date. Sometimes upstream patches don't get included. That means our versions are the only working copies. With pale moon's policy, we'd need to submit separate patches to their customized versions of all these libraries too and any new release of the browser would not be available as changes occur. It might not even be possible to compile pale moon without a patch locally. With regard to Rust, it requires porting the language, as well as an appropriate version of LLVM before you can even start on the browser. It's FOSS: If someone wanted to contribute to your project, both financial and technical, how can they do that? Lucas Holt: Financial assistance for the project can be submitted online. We have a page outlining how to make donations with Patreon, Paypal or via bitcoin. Donations are not tax deductible. You can learn more at http://www.midnightbsd.org/donate/ We also need assistance with translations, porting applications, and working on the actual OS. Interested parties can contact us on the mailing list or through IRC on freenode #midnightbsd We also could use assistance with mirroring ISOs and packages. I would like to thank Lucas for taking the time to reply to my many questions. For more information about MidnightBSD or to download it, please visit their website. The most recent version of MidnightBSD is 0.8.6. News Roundup 8 months with TrueOS (https://inflo.ws/blog/post/2018-03-03-trueos-8th-month-review/) Purpose of this review - what it is and what it is not. I vowed to write down what I felt about TrueOS if I ever got to the six month mark of usage. This is just that. This is neither a tutorial, nor a piece of evangelism dedicated towards it. This is also not a review of specific parts of TrueOS such as Lumina or AppCafe, since I don't use them at all. In the spirit of presenting a screen shot, here is my i3wm displaying 4 windows in one screen - a configuration that I never use. https://inflo.ws/blog/images/trues-screenshot.png The primary tasks I get done with my computer. I need a tiling wm with multi-desktop capability. As regards what I do with a computer, it is fairly straightforward to describe if I just list down my most frequently used applications. xterm (CLI) Emacs (General editing and org mode) Intellij IDEA (Java, Kotlin, SQL) Firefox (Main web browser, with Multi-Account Containers) Thunderbird (Work e-mail) Notmuchmail (Personal e-mail) Chromium/Iridium (Dumb web browser) Telegram Desktop weechat (with wee-slack) cmus (Music player) mpv (Video player) mps-youtube (Youtube client) transmission-gtk Postgresql10 (daemon) Rabbitmq (daemon) Seafile (file sync) Shotwell (manage pictures) GIMP (Edit pictures) Calibre (Manage e-books) VirtualBox All of these are available as binary packages from the repository. Since I use Intellij Ultimate edition, I decided to download the no-jdk linux version from the website rather than install it. This would make sure that it gets updated regularly. Why did I pick TrueOS ? I ran various Linux distributions from 2001 all the way till 2009, till I discovered Arch, and continued with it till 2017. I tried out Void for two months before I switched to TrueOS. Over the last few years, I started feeling like no matter which Linux distribution I touched, they all just stopped making a lot of sense. Generally in the way things were organised, and particularly in terms of software like systemd, which just got pushed down my throat. I couldn't wrap my head around half the things going on in my computer. Mostly I found that Linux distributions stopped becoming a collection of applications that got developed together to something more coupled by software mechanisms like systemd - and that process was more and more opaque. I don't want to talk about the merits and de-merits of systemd, lets just say that I found it of no use and an unnecessary hassle. In February, I found myself in charge of the entire technology stack of a company, and I was free to make choices. A friend who was a long time FreeBSD user convinced me to try it on the servers. My requirement then was to run Postgres, Rabbitmq, Nginx and a couple of JVM processes. The setup was zero hassle and it hasn't changed much in a year. About three months of running FreeBSD-11.x on servers was enough for me to consider it for my laptop. I was very apprehensive of hardware support, but luckily my computer is a Thinkpad, and Thinkpads sort of work out of the box with various BSDs. My general requirements were: Must run Intellij IDEA. Must have proper graphics and sound driver support. Must be able to run VirtualBox. I had to pick from FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, since these were the major BSDs that I was familiar with. One of my requirements was that I needed to be able to run VMs just in case I needed to test something on Windows/Linux. This ruled out OpenBSD. Then I was left with NetBSD and FreeBSD. NetBSD's driver support for newer Intel chip-sets were questionable, and FreeBSD was the only choice then. When I was digging through FreeBSD forums, I found out that running the 11.x RELEASE on my laptop was out of the question since it didn't have proper drivers for my chip-set either. A few more hours of digging led me to GhostBSD and TrueOS. I picked TrueOS straightaway because - well because TrueOS came from the old PC-BSD and it was built off FreeBSD-12-CURRENT with the latest drivers integrated. I downloaded the UNSTABLE version available in June 2017, backed up ALL my data and home directory, and then installed it. There were no glitches during installation - I simply followed the installation as described in the handbook and everything was fine. My entire switch from Arch/Void to TrueOS took about an hour, discounting the time it took to backup my data to an external hard disk. It was that easy. Everything I wanted to work just worked, everything was available in the repo. Tweaks from cooltrainer.org : I discovered this excellent tutorial that describes setting up a FreeBSD 11 desktop. It documents several useful tweaks, some of which I applied. A few examples - Fonts, VirtualBox, Firewall, UTF-8 sections. TrueOS (and FreeBSD) specific things I liked Open-rc The open-rc init system is familiar and is well documented. TrueOS specific parts are described here. When I installed postgresql10-server, there was no open-rc script for it, but I could cobble one together in two hours with zero prior experience writing init scripts. Later on I figured out that the init script for postgresql9 would work for 10 as well, and used that. Boot Environments This was an alien concept to me, but the first time I did an update without waiting for a CDN sync to finish, my computer booted into the shell and remained there. The friendly people at TrueOS discourse asked me to roll back to an older BE and wait for sync to finish. I dug through the forums and found "ZFS / Snapshots basics & How-To's for those new to TrueOS". This describes ZFS and BEs, and is well worth reading. ZFS My experience with boot environments was enough to convince me about the utility of ZFS. I am still reading about it and trying things out, and whatever I read just convinces me more about why it is good. File-system layout Coming from the Linux world, how the FreeBSD file-system is laid out seemed odd at first. Then I realised that it was the Linux distros that were doing the odd thing. e.g : The whole OS is split into base system and applications. All the non base system configurations and apps go into /usr/local. That made a lot of sense. The entire OS is developed along with its applications as a single coherent entity, and that shows. Documentation The handbooks for both TrueOS and FreeBSD are really really good. For e.g, I kept some files in an LUKS encrypted drive (when I used Arch Linux). To find an equivalent, all I had to do was read the handbook and look at the GELI section. It is actually nice being able to go to a source like Handbook and things from there just work. Arch Linux and Gentoo has excellent documentation as well, if anyone is wondering about Linux distros. Community The TrueOS community on both Telegram as well as on Discourse are very friendly and patient. They help out a lot and do not get upset when I pose really stupid questions. TrueOS core developers hangout in the Telegram chat-room too, and it is nice being able to talk to them directly about things. What did not work in TrueOS ? The following things that worked during my Linux tenure doesn't work in TrueOS. Netflix Google Hangouts Electron based applications (Slack, Skype) These are not major concerns for the kind of work I do, so it doesn't bother me much. I run a WinXP VM to play some old games, and a Bunsenlabs installation for Linux things like Hangouts/Netflix. I don't have a video calling system setup in TrueOS because I use my phone for both voice and video calls exclusively. Why am I staying on TrueOS ? Great community - whether on Discourse or on the telegram channel, the people make you feel welcome. If things go unanswered, someone will promise to work on it/file a bug/suggest work-arounds. Switching to TrueOS was philosophical as well - I thought a lot more about licenses, and I have arrived at the conclusion that I like BSD more than GPL. I believe it is a more practical license. I believe TrueOS is improving continuously, and is a great desktop UNIX if you put some time into it.

Update: An official announcement has been released: ``` I'm happy to announce that we are now able to provide two releases worth of syspatches on the amd64 and i386 platforms. The binary patches for 6.1 will hit the mirrors shortly, so you will be able to catch up with the errata on https://www.openbsd.org/errata61.html using the syspatch utility. People running amd64 will thus get the meltdown workaround. This means in particular that 6.2 will remain supported by syspatch when 6.3 comes out.

Thanks also to tj and the volunteers from #openbsd for their timely tests and of course to Theo for overseeing it all. ``` Exploring permutations and a mystery with BSD and GNU split filenames (https://www.lorainekv.com/permutations_split_and_gsplit/) Recently, I was playing around with the split command-line tool on Mac OS X, and I decided to chop a 4000-line file into 4000 separate single-line files. However, when I attempted to run split -l1, I ran into a funny error: split: too many files Curious to see if any splitting had occurred, I ran ls and sure enough, a huge list of filenames appeared, such as: xaa xab ... xzy xzz Now I could see why you'd run out of unique filenames - there are only 26 letters in the alphabet and these filenames were only three letters long. Also, they all seemed to begin with the letter "x". BSD split's filename defaults I checked the manual for split's defaults and confirmed what I was seeing: each file into which the file is split is named by the prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using suffix_length characters in the range 'a-z'. If -a is not specified, two letters are used as the suffix....with the prefix 'x' and with suffixes as above. Got it, so running split with the defaults for prefix name and suffix length will give me filenames that always start with the letter "x" followed by two-letter alphabetical permutations composed of a-z letters, with repeats allowed. I say "repeats allowed" because I noticed filenames such as xaa and xbb in the output. Side node: The reason why I say "permutations" rather than "combinations" is because letter order matters. For example, xab and xba are two distinct and legitimate filenames. Here's a nice explanation about the difference between permutations and combinations. Some permutation math So how many filenames can you get from the BSD split tool using the defaults? There are permutation formulas out there for repeating values and non-repeating values. Based on split's behavior, I wanted to use the repeating values formula: n^r where n equals the number of possible values (26 for a-z) and r equals the number of values (2, since there are only 2 letters after "x" in the filename). 26^2 = 676 So the total number of filename permutations allowed with BSD split's defaults should be 676. To double check, I ran ls | wc -l to get the total number of files in my split_test directory. The output was 677. If you subtract my original input file, input.txt, then you have 676, or the number of permutations split would allow before running out of filenames! Neat. But I still wanted my 4000 files. Moar permutations pls While 26^2 permutations doesn't support 4000 different filenames, I wondered if I could increase r to 3. Then, I'd have 17,576 different filename permutations to play with - more than enough. Earlier, I remembered the manual mentioning suffix length: -a suffixlength Use suffixlength letters to form the suffix of the file name. So I passed 3 in with the -a flag and guess what? I got my 4000 files! split -l1 -a3 input.txt ls | wc -l 4001 But that was a lot of work. It would be great if split would just handle these permutations and suffix lengths by default! In fact, I vaguely remember splitting large files into smaller ones with numerical filenames, which I prefer. I also remember not having to worry about suffixes in the past. But numerical filenames didn't seem to be an option with split installed on Mac OS X - there was no mention of it in the manual. Turns out that I was remembering GNU split from using the Debian OS two years ago, a different flavor of the split tool with different defaults and behaviors.

After a long long Chinese New Year break, Daniel and I are finally back for the first ExFAT episode of 2016. We talk about MWC, and (non)innovative every release at MWC is, the FBI vs Apple case, suddenly-dead Ethernet ports and speculate about the upcoming Apple event.
This was recorded late March, and was released this late due to some personal issues I(Ryu) had. It was an uneventful March Apple event, and neither of us were really pumped up about it, making for a really lethargic sounding episode. We are sorry about it. The next episode will be better, we promise.
Ryu and Daniel came back after 2 months of hiatus for an epic 2-hour rant about WWDC. This was recorded pre-WWDC. Also the last episode of Season 1 of ExFAT. Season 2 will be coming soon.
We barely made it for December. Daniel and I exchanged some tips and information on packing and preparations for travel.
Just when you thought we are gone for good, Daniel and I return for the second episode of ExFAT. We ranted and ranted about the Surface Pro, as well as covered the Nexus phones, the Apple TV (a little bit), and of course the iPad Pro. And Daniel talks about his iPhone repair. This time round, we kept most of the show in Singlish, since quite a number of people complained about the last show which was mostly in Chinese.
Daniel and I talk about tomorrow’s iPhone 6s launch, which model I am getting, as well as the new iPads. Dialogue mostly in Mandarin.
TrueOS stable 17.12 is out, we have an OpenBSD workstation guide for you, learnings from the PDP-11, FreeBSD 2017 Releng recap and Duo SSH. This episode was brought to you by Headlines TrueOS stable release 17.12 (https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueos-17-12-release/) We are pleased to announce a new release of the 6-month STABLE version of TrueOS! This release cycle focused on lots of cleanup and stabilization of the distinguishing features of TrueOS: OpenRC, boot speed, removable-device management, SysAdm API integrations, Lumina improvements, and more. We have also been working quite a bit on the server offering of TrueOS, and are pleased to provide new text-based server images with support for Virtualization systems such as bhyve! This allows for simple server deployments which also take advantage of the TrueOS improvements to FreeBSD such as: Sane service management and status reporting with OpenRC Reliable, non-interactive system update mechanism with fail-safe boot environment support. Graphical management of remote TrueOS servers through SysAdm (also provides a reliable API for administrating systems remotely). LibreSSL for all base SSL support. Base system managed via packages (allows for additional fine-tuning). Base system is smaller due to the removal of the old GCC version in base. Any compiler and/or version may be installed and used via packages as desired. Support for newer graphics drivers and chipsets (graphics, networking, wifi, and more) TrueOS Version 17.12 (2017, December) is now available for download from the TrueOS website. Both the STABLE and UNSTABLE package repositories have also been updated in-sync with each other, so current users only need to follow the prompts about updating their system to run the new release. We are also pleased to announce the availability of TrueOS Sponsorships! If you would like to help contribute to the project financially we now have the ability to accept both one-time donations as well as recurring monthly donations which wil help us advocate for TrueOS around the world. Thank you all for using and supporting TrueOS! Notable Changes: Over 1100 OpenRC services have been created for 3rd-party packages. This should ensure the functionality of nearly all available 3rd-party packages that install/use their own services. The OpenRC services for FreeBSD itself have been overhauled, resulting in significantly shorter boot times. Separate install images for desktops and servers (server image uses a text/console installer) Bhyve support for TrueOS Server Install FreeBSD base is synced with 12.0-CURRENT as of December 4th, 2017 (Github commit: 209d01f) FreeBSD ports tree is synced as of November 30th (pre-FLAVOR changes) Lumina Desktop has been updated/developed from 1.3.0 to 1.4.1 PCDM now supports multiple simultaneous graphical sessions Removable devices are now managed through the “automounter” service. Devices are “announced” as available to the system via *.desktop shortcuts in /media. These shortcuts also contain a variety of optional “Actions” that may be performed on the device. Devices are only mounted while they are being used (such as when browsing via the command line or a file manager). Devices are automatically unmounted as soon as they stop being accessed. Integrated support for all major filesystems (UFS, EXT, FAT, NTFS, ExFAT, etc..) NOTE: The Lumina desktop is the only one which supports this functionality at the present time. The TrueOS update system has moved to an “active” update backend. This means that the user will need to actually start the update process by clicking the “Update Now” button in SysAdm, Lumina, or PCDM (as well as the command-line option). The staging of the update files is still performed automatically by default but this (and many other options) can be easily changed in the “Update Manager” settings as desired. Known Errata: [VirtualBox] Running FreeBSD within a VirtualBox VM is known to occasionally receive non-existent mouse clicks – particularly when using a scroll wheel or two-finger scroll. Quick Links: TrueOS Forums (https://discourse.trueos.org/) TrueOS Bugs (https://github.com/trueos/trueos-core/issues) TrueOS Handbook (https://www.trueos.org/handbook/trueos.html) TrueOS Community Chat on Telegram (https://t.me/TrueOSCommunity) *** OpenBSD Workstation Guide (https://begriffs.com/posts/2017-05-17-linux-workstation-guide.html) Design Goals User actions should complete instantaneously. While I understand if compiling code and rendering videos takes time, opening programs and moving windows should have no observable delay. The system should use minimalist tools. Corollary: cache data offline when possible. Everything from OpenStreetMaps to StackExchange can be stored locally. No reason to repeatedly hit the internet to query them. This also improves privacy because the initial download is indiscriminate and doesn't reveal personal queries or patterns of computer activity. No idling program should use a perceptible amount of CPU. Why does CalendarAgent on my Macbook sometimes use 150% CPU for fifteen minutes? Who knows. Why are background ChromeHelpers chugging along at upper-single-digit CPU? I didn't realize that holding a rendered DOM could be so challenging. Avoid interpreted languages, web-based desktop apps, and JavaScript garbage. There, I said it. Take your Electron apps with you to /dev/null! Stability. Old fashioned programs on a conservative OS on quality mainstream hardware. There are enough challenges to tackle without a bleeding edge system being one of them. Delegate to quality hardware components. Why use a janky ncurses software audio mixer when you can use…an actual audio mixer? Hardware privacy. No cameras or microphones that I can't physically disconnect. Also real hardware protection for cryptographic keys. Software privacy. Commercial software and operating systems have gotten so terrible about this. I even catch Mac command line tools trying to call Google Analytics. Sorry homebrew, your cute emojis don't make up for the surveillance. The Hardware Core To get the best hardware for the money I'm opting for a desktop computer. Haven't had one since the early 2000s and it feels anachronistic, but it will outperform a laptop of similar cost. After much searching, I found the HP Z240 Tower Workstation. It's no-nonsense and supports exactly the customizations I was looking for: No operating system pre-loaded (Cut out the “Windows tax”) Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6 processor (Supports ECC ram) 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4-2400 ECC Unbuffered memory (2400Mhz is the full memory clock speed supported by the Xeon) 256 GB HP Z Turbo Drive G2 PCIe SSD (Uses NVMe rather than SATA for faster throughput, supported by nvme(4)) No graphics card (We'll add our own) Intel® Ethernet I210-T1 PCIe (Supported by em(4)) A modest discrete video card will enable 2D Glamor acceleration on X11. The Radeon HD 6450 (sold separately) is fanless and listed as supported by radeon(4). Why build a solid computer and not protect it? Externally, the APC BR1300G UPS will protect the system from power surges and abrupt shutdowns. Peripherals The Matias Ergo Pro uses mechanical switches for that old fashioned clicky sound. It also includes dedicated buttons along the side for copying and pasting. Why is that cool? Well, it improves secondary selection, a technique that Sun computers used but time forgot. Since we're talking about a home office workstation, you may want a printer. The higher quality printers speak PostScript and PDF natively. Unix machines connect to them on TCP port 9100 and send PostScript commands directly. (You can print via telnet if you know the commands!) The Brother HL-L5100DN is a duplex LaserJet which allows that “raw” TCP printing. Audio/Video I know a lot of people enjoy surrounding themselves with a wall of monitors like they're in the heart of NASA Mission Control, but I find multi-monitor setups slightly disorienting. It introduces an extra bit of cognitive overhead to determine which monitor is for what exactly. That's why I'd go with a modest, crisp Dell UltraSharp 24" U2417H. It's 1080p and yeah there are 4k monitors nowadays, but text and icons are small enough as it is for me! If I ever considered a second monitor it would be e-ink for comfortably reading electronic copies of books or long articles. The price is currently too high to justify the purchase, but the most promising monitor seems to be the Dasung Paperlike. In the other direction, video input, it's more flexible to use a general-purpose HDMI capture box like the Rongyuxuan than settle on a particular webcam. This allows hooking up a real camera, or any other video device. Although the motherboard for this system has built-in audio, we should use a card with better OpenBSD support. The WBTUO PCIe card uses a C-Media CMI8768 chipset, handled by cmpci(4). The card provides S/PDIFF in and out ports if you ever want to use an external DAC or ADC. The way to connect it with other things is with a dedicated hardware mixer. The Behringer Xenyx 802 has all the connections needed, and the ability to route audio to and from the computer and a variety of devices at once. The mixer may seem an odd peripheral, but I want to mix the computer with an old fashioned CD player, ham radio gear, and amplifier so this unifies the audio setup. When doing remote pair programming or video team meetings it's nice to have a quality microphone. The best ones for this kind of work are directional, with a cardioid reception pattern. The MXL 770 condenser mic is perfect, and uses a powered XLR connection supplied by the mixer. Backups We're going dead simple and old-school, back to tapes. There are a set of tape standards called LTO-n. As n increases the tape capacity gets bigger, but the tape drive gets more expensive. In my opinion the best balance these days for the home user is LTO-3. You can usually find an HP Ultrium 960 LTO-3 on eBay for 150 dollars. The cartridges hold 800GB and are about 15 dollars apiece. Hard drives keep coming down in price, but these tapes are very cheap and simpler than keeping a bunch of disk drives. Also tape has proven longevity, and good recoverability. To use old fashioned tech like this you need a SCSI host bus adapter like the Adaptec 29320LPE, supported by ahd(4). Cryptography You don't want to generate and store secret keys on a general purpose network attached computer. The attack surface is a mile wide. Generating or manipulating “offline” secret keys needs to happen on a separate computer with no network access. Little boards like the Raspberry Pi would be good except they use ARM processors (incompatible with Tails OS) and have wifi. The JaguarBoard is a small x86 machine with no wireless capability. Just switch the keyboard and monitor over to this machine for your “cleanroom.” jaguar board: Generating keys requires entropy. The Linux kernel on Tails samples system properties to generate randomness, but why not help it out with a dedicated true random number generator (TRNG)? Bit Babbler supplies pure randomness at a high bitrate through USB. (OneRNG works better on the OpenBSD main system, via uonerng(4).) bit babbler: This little computer will save its results onto a OpenPGP Smartcard V2.1. This card provides write-only access to keys, and computes cryptographic primitives internally to sign and encrypt messages. To use it with a regular computer, hook up a Cherry ST2000 card reader. This reader has a PIN pad built in, so no keylogger on the main computer could even obtain your decryption PIN. The Software We take the beefed up hardware above and pair it with ninja-fast software written in C. Some text-based, others raw X11 graphical apps unencumbered by ties to any specific window manager. I'd advise OpenBSD for the underlying operating system, not a Linux. OpenBSD has greater internal consistency, their man pages are impeccable, and they make it a priority to prune old code to keep the system minimal. What Have We Learned from the PDP-11? (https://dave.cheney.net/2017/12/04/what-have-we-learned-from-the-pdp-11) The paper I have chosen tonight is a retrospective on a computer design. It is one of a series of papers by Gordon Bell, and various co-authors, spanning the design, growth, and eventual replacement of the companies iconic line of PDP-11 mini computers. This year represents the 60th anniversary of the founding of the company that produced the PDP-11. It is also 40 years since this paper was written, so I thought it would be entertaining to review Bell's retrospective through the lens of our own 20/20 hindsight. To set the scene for this paper, first we should talk a little about the company that produced the PDP-11, the Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard, Massachusetts. Better known as DEC. It's also worth noting that the name PDP is an acronym for “Programmed Data Processor”, as at the time, computers had a reputation of being large, complicated, and expensive machines, and DEC's venture capitalists would not support them if they built a “computer” A computer is not solely determined by its architecture; it reflects the technological, economic, and human aspects of the environment in which it was designed and built. […] The finished computer is a product of the total design environment. “Right from the get go, Bell is letting us know that the success of any computer project is not abstractly building the best computer but building the right computer, and that takes context.” It is the nature of computer engineering to be goal-oriented, with pressure to produce deliverable products. It is therefore difficult to plan for an extensive lifetime. Because of the open nature of the PDP-11, anything which interpreted the instructions according to the processor specification, was a PDP-11, so there had been a rush within DEC, once it was clear that the PDP-11 market was heating up, to build implementations; you had different groups building fast, expensive ones and cost reduced slower ones The first weakness of minicomputers was their limited addressing capability. The biggest (and most common) mistake that can be made in a computer design is that of not providing enough address bits for memory addressing and management. A second weakness of minicomputers was their tendency not to have enough registers. This was corrected for the PDP-11 by providing eight 16-bit registers. Later, six 32-bit registers were added for floating-point arithmetic. […] More registers would increase the multiprogramming context switch time and confuse the user. “It's also interesting to note Bell's concern that additional registers would confuse the user. In the early 1970's the assumption that the machine would be programmed directly in assembly was still the prevailing mindset.” A third weakness of minicomputers was their lack of hardware stack capability. In the PDP-11, this was solved with the autoincrement/autodecrement addressing mechanism. This solution is unique to the PDP-11 and has proven to be exceptionally useful. (In fact, it has been copied by other designers.) “Nowadays it's hard to imagine hardware that doesn't have a notion of a stack, but consider that a stack isn't important if you don't need recursion.” “The design for the PDP-11 was laid down in 1969 and if we look at the programming languages of the time, FORTRAN and COBOL, neither supported recursive function calls. The function call sequence would often store the return address at a blank word at the start of the procedure making recursion impossible.” A fourth weakness, limited interrupt capability and slow context switching, was essentially solved with the device of UNIBUS interrupt vectors, which direct device interrupts. The basic mechanism is very fast, requiring only four memory cycles from the time an interrupt request is issued until the first instruction of the interrupt routine begins execution. A fifth weakness of prior minicomputers, inadequate character-handling capability, was met in the PDP-11 by providing direct byte addressing capability. “Strings and character handling were of increasing importance during the 1960's as scientific and business computing converged. The predominant character encodings at the time were 6 bit character sets which provided just enough space for upper case letters, the digits 0 to 9, space, and a few punctuation characters sufficient for printing financial reports.” “Because memory was so expensive, placing one 6 bit character into a 12 or 18 bit word was simply unacceptable so characters would be packed into words. This proved efficient for storage, but complex for operations like move, compare, and concatenate, which had to account for a character appearing in the top or bottom of the word, expending valuable words of program storage to cope.” “The problem was addressed in the PDP-11 by allowing the machine to operate on memory as both a 16-bit word, and the increasingly popular 8-bit byte. The expenditure of 2 additional bits per character was felt to be worth it for simpler string handling, and also eased the adoption of the increasingly popular 7-bit ASCII standard of which DEC were a proponent at the time. Bell concludes this point with the throw away line:” Although string instructions are not yet provided in the hardware, the common string operations (move, compare, concatenate) can be programmed with very short loops. A sixth weakness, the inability to use read-only memories, was avoided in the PDP-11. Most code written for the PDP-11 tends to be pure and reentrant without special effort by the programmer, allowing a read-only memory (ROM) to be used directly. A seventh weakness, one common to many minicomputers, was primitive I/O capabilities. A ninth weakness of minicomputers was the high cost of programming them. Many users program in assembly language, without the comfortable environment of editors, file systems, and debuggers available on bigger systems. The PDP-11 does not seem to have overcome this weakness, although it appears that more complex systems are being built successfully with the PDP-11 than with its predecessors, the PDP-8 and PDP-15. The problems faced by computer designers can usually be attributed to one of two causes: inexperience or second-systemitis Before the PDP-11, there was no UNIX. Before the PDP-11, there was no C, this is the computer that C was designed on. If you want to know why the classical C int is 16 bits wide, it's because of the PDP-11. UNIX bought us ideas such as pipes, everything is a file, and interactive computing. UNIX, which had arrived at Berkley in 1974 aboard a tape carried by Ken Thompson, would evolve into the west coast flavoured Berkley Systems Distribution. Berkeley UNIX had been ported to the VAX by the start of the 1980's and was thriving as the counter cultural alternative to DEC's own VMS operating system. Berkeley UNIX spawned a new generation of hackers who would go on to form companies like Sun micro systems, and languages like Self, which lead directly to the development of Java. UNIX was ported to a bewildering array of computer systems during the 80's and the fallout from the UNIX wars gave us the various BSD operating systems who continue to this day.

FreeBSD 2017 Release Engineering Recap (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/2017-release-engineering-recap/) This past year was undoubtedly a rather busy and successful year for the Release Engineering Team. Throughout the year, development snapshot builds for FreeBSD-CURRENT and supported FreeBSD-STABLE branches were continually provided. In addition, work to package the base system using pkg(8) continued throughout the year and remains ongoing. The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team worked on the FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE, with the code slush starting mid-May. The FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE cycle stayed on schedule, with the final release build starting July 21, and the final release announcement following on July 25, building upon the stability and reliability of 11.0-RELEASE. Milestones during the 11.1-RELEASE cycle can be found on the 11.1 schedule page (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/schedule.html). The final announcement is available here (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/announce.html). The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team started the FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE cycle, led by Marius Strobl. The FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE cycle continued on schedule, with the only adjustments to the schedule being the addition of BETA4 and the removal of RC3. FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE builds upon the stability and reliability of FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE, and is planned to be the final release from the stable/10 branch. Milestones during the 10.4-RELEASE cycle can be found on the 10.4 schedule page (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.4R/schedule.html). The final announcement is available here (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.4R/announce.html). In addition to these releases, support for additional arm single-board computer images were added, notably Raspberry Pi 3 and Pine64. Additionally, release-related documentation effective 12.0-RELEASE and later has been moved from the base system repository to the documentation repository, making it possible to update related documentation as necessary post-release. Additionally, the FreeBSD Release Engineering article in the Project Handbook had been rewritten to outline current practices used by the Release Engineering Team. For more information on the procedures and processes the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team follows, the new article is available here and continually updated as procedures change. Finally, following the availability of FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE, Glen Barber attended the September Developer Summit hosted at vBSDCon in Reston, VA, USA, where he gave a brief talk comprising of several points relating directly to the 11.1-RELEASE cycle. In particular, some of the points covered included what he felt went well during the release cycle, what did not go as well as it could have, and what we, as a Project, could do better to improve the release process. The slides from the talk are available in the FreeBSD Wiki. During the question and answer time following the talk, some questions asked included: Q: Should developers use the ‘Relnotes' tag in the Subversion commit template more loosely, at risk of an increase in false positives. A: When asked when the tag in the template was initially added, the answer would have been “no”, however in hindsight it is easier to sift through the false positives, than to comb through months or years of commit logs. Q: What issues are present preventing moving release-related documentation to the documentation repository? A: There were some rendering issues last time it was investigated, but it is really nothing more than taking the time to fix those issues. (Note, that since this talk, the migration of the documentation in question had moved.) Q: Does it make sense to extend the timeframe between milestone builds during a release cycle from one week to two weeks, to allow more time for testing, for example, RC1 versus RC2? A: No. It would extend the length of the release cycle with no real benefit between milestones since as we draw nearer to the end of a given release cycle, the number of changes to that code base significantly reduce. FLIMP - GIMP Exploit on FreeBSD (https://flimp.fuzzing-project.org) In 2014, when starting the Fuzzing Project (https://fuzzing-project.org/), Hanno Böck did some primitive fuzzing on GIMP and reported two bugs. They weren't fixed and were forgotten in the public bug tracker. Recently Tobias Stöckmann found one of these bugs (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739133) (CVE-2017-17785) and figured out that it's easy to exploit. What kind of bug is that? It's a classic heap buffer overflow in the FLIC parser. FLIC is a file format for animations and was introduced by Autodesk Animator. How does the exploit work? Tobias has created a detailed writeup (https://flimp.fuzzing-project.org/exploit.html). The exploit doesn't work for me! We figured out it's unreliable and the memory addresses are depending on many circumstances. The exploit ZIP comes with two variations using different memory addresses. Try both of them. We also noticed putting the files in a subdirectory sometimes made the exploit work. Anything more to tell about the GIMP? There's a wide variety of graphics formats. GIMP tries to support many of them, including many legacy formats that nobody is using any more today. While this has obvious advantages - you can access the old images you may find on a backup CD from 1995 - it comes with risks. Support for many obscure file formats means many parsers that hardly anyone ever looks at. So... what about the other parsers? The second bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739134) (CVE-2017-17786), which is a simple overread, was in the TGA parser. Furthermore we found buffer overreads in the XCF parser (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790783) (CVE-2017-17788), the Gimp Brush (GBR) parser (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790784) (CVE-2017-17784) and the Paint Shop Pro (PSP) parser (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790849) (CVE-2017-17789). We found another Heap buffer overflow (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790849) in the Paint Shop Pro parser (CVE-2017-17787) which is probably also exploitable. In other words: The GIMP import parsers are full of memory safety bugs. What should happen? First of all obviously all known memory safety bugs should be fixed. Furthermore we believe the way GIMP plugins work is not ideal for security testing. The plug-ins are separate executables, however they can't be executed on their own, as they communicate with the main GIMP process. Ideally either these plug-ins should be changed in a way that allows running them directly from the command line or - even better - they should be turned into libraries. The latter would also have the advantage of making the parser code useable for other software projects. Finally it might be a good idea to sandbox the import parsers. Dell FS12-NV7 Review – Bargain FreeBSD/ZFS box (http://blog.frankleonhardt.com/2017/dell-fs12-nv7-review-bargain-freebsdzfs-box/) It seems just about everyone selling refurbished data centre kit has a load of Dell FS12-NV7's to flog. Dell FS-what? You won't find them in the Dell catalogue, that's for sure. They look a bit like C2100s of some vintage, and they have a lot in common. But on closer inspection they're obviously a “special” for an important customer. Given the number of them knocking around, it's obviously a customer with big data, centres stuffed full of servers with a lot of processing to do. Here's a hint: It's not Google or Amazon. So, should you be buying a weirdo box with no documentation whatsoever? I'd say yes, definitely. If you're interests are anything like mine. In a 2U box you can get twin 4-core CPUs and 64Gb of RAM for £150 or less. What's not to like? Ah yes, the complete lack of documentation. Over the next few weeks I intend to cover that. And to start off this is my first PC review for nearly twenty years. As I mentioned, it's a 2U full length heavy metal box on rails. On the back there are the usual I/O ports: a 9-way RS-232, VGA, two 1Gb Ethernet, two USB2 and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. The front is taken up by twelve 3.5″ hard drive bays, with the status lights and power button on one of the mounting ears to make room. Unlike other Dell servers, all the connections are on the back, only. So, in summary, you're getting a lot for your money if its the kind of thing you want. It's ideal as a high-performance Unix box with plenty of drive bays (preferably running BSD and ZFS). In this configuration it really shifts. Major bang-per-buck. Another idea I've had is using it for a flight simulator. That's a lot of RAM and processors for the money. If you forego the SAS controllers in the PCIe slots and dump in a decent graphics card and sound board, it's hard to see what's could be better (and you get jet engine sound effects without a speaker). So who should buy one of these? BSD geeks is the obvious answer. With a bit of tweaking they're a dream. It can build-absolutely-everything in 20-30 minutes. For storage you can put fast SAS drives in and it goes like the wind, even at 3Gb bandwidth per drive. I don't know if it works with FreeNAS but I can't see why not – I'm using mostly FreeBSD 11.1 and the generic kernel is fine. And if you want to run a load of weird operating systems (like Windows XP) in VM format, it seems to work very well with the Xen hypervisor and Dom0 under FreeBSD. Or CentOS if you prefer. So I shall end this review in true PCW style: Pros: Cheap Lots of CPUs, Lots of RAM Lots of HD slots Great for BSD/ZFS or VMs Cons: Noisy no AES-NI SAS needs upgrading Limited PCI slots As I've mentioned, the noise and SAS are easy and relatively cheap to fix, and thanks to BitCoin miners, even the PCI slot problem can be sorted. I'll talk about this in a later post.
