Oggi trittico di news su Linux. Nella prima vediamo la decisione del board di Gentoo di vietare per policy l'inclusione di commit generati o assistiti dalla AI, poi la nuova versione con UI colorata di APT, e infine un gentle scazzo di Linus Torvalds che con un semplice commit ha fatto presente di non gradire un problema di tabs vs spaces.

https://youtu.be/w-F1Exi4o0U Forum Discussion Thread (https://forum.tuxdigital.com/t/259-ubuntu-24-04-beta-gentoo-becomes-spi-ware-solution-to-nvidia-amp-wayland-amp-more-linux-news/6208) This week's news is exciting with cool new stuff and pretty bonkers because we narrowly avoided a security nightmare! A backdoor was discovered hidden in a common Linux utility, and it could have infected millions of devices. We'll break down how this almost happened, and what it means for you. Then, we'll switch gears and talk about some exciting upcoming features in Linux Mint 22. Fedora Linux might be getting a whole new look – we'll discuss a proposal to switch the default desktop environment. Flathub is making some changes to make it easier to indentify whether or not a Flatpak is official. Plus there is a new campaign for video game preservation that targets companies effectively breaking their games after an arbitary amount of time.

Rusty is coming back to Doctor Who. No, not that one. It's Russell T Davies, back to regenerate the greatest show on TV with his old production team. It remains to be seen whether he can recapture the magic, but the BBC must be desperate. Gaming PCs are incredibly rare, and they're likely to get even rarer. This means people will pay a massive premium, and that entry level parts don't really exist anymore. This makes us sad. Everyone should have the opportunity to build a PC and learn about electronics. Maybe in the post apocalyptic future there will be enough supply to meet demand. An Aussie team has created a significantly cheaper and easier to make solar panel that outperforms traditional panels. The sunniest place on Earth could really use some of those. They still need to scale up, but it's great to see Aussie scientists making huge strides.

While many gamers might not know McGinty by name, those that grew up in the '90s will immediately recognize his art. The artist contributed some of the most iconic images in all of gaming, telling stories that immediately captivated players. McGinty was an immensely talented artist, as is evidenced by the impressive collection of work on his personal site, but for gamers of the '90s, his output will be almost synonymous with video game covers. He is perhaps most famous with Nintendo fans for creating the western cover artwork for the SNES version of Street Fighter II. While many people took issue with the 'westernisation' of the artwork at the time, it was very common practice for companies like Nintendo to commission entirely new artwork which was better suited to a particular region. McGinty's cover – which features Chun-Li fighting Blanka over the prone body of Ryu – has gone down as one of the most recognisable video game covers of all time. McGinty's association with Street Fighter would continue with Street Fighter II: Champion Edition on the Mega Drive / Genesis, Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES and Super Street Fighter II.21st September 2021 – Endangered South African penguins killed by swarm of bees near Cape Town - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-58622482Sixty-three endangered African penguins have been killed by a swarm of bees in a rare occurrence near Cape Town, bird conservationists in South Africa say. The protected birds, from a colony in Simonstown, were found on the shore with multiple bee-stings. They had no other physical injuries. National parks officials told the BBC this was the first known attack at the world-famous Boulders Beach, which attracts up to 60,000 visitors a year. "Usually the penguins and bees co-exist," said Dr Alison Kock, a marine biologist with South Africa's national parks agency (SANParks). "The bees don't sting unless provoked - we are working on the assumption that a nest or hive in the area was disturbed and caused a mass of bees to flee the nest, swarm and became aggressive," she added. "Unfortunately the bees encountered a group of penguins on their flight path." Post-mortems found that the birds had been stung around the eyes and on their flippers. That is because "those are the parts that are not covered by feathers," Dr Katta Ludynia, from the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob), told the BBC. Penguins have pink sweat glands around their eyes and "that area is particularly thin - similar to human fingers," explained Shanet Rutgers, senior penguin keeper at Cape Town's Two Oceans Aquarium. One of the penguins had been stung 27 times. African penguins are distinctive for their small size, and live on the coast and islands of South Africa and Namibia - though some have been spotted as far north as Gabon.Their populations are rapidly declining, the International Union for Conservation of Nature says. The national body said in a statement on Sunday that it was still conducting toxicity and disease checks on the birds, and would continue to monitor the situation.22nd September 2021 – 10th Anniversary of Dark Souls - https://www.glitched.online/landmark-rpg-dark-souls-celebrates-its-10th-anniversary-today/ Ten years ago to the day, Japanese video game developer From Software released the critically acclaimed dark fantasy action RPG, Dark Souls, which would go on to change the gaming landscape forever. Refining the formula already established in Demon's Souls while introducing a bevy of new mechanics that have been adopted and replicated by other titles, Dark Souls would spearhead an entirely new sub-genre of gaming. Today, Dark Souls officially celebrates its 10th anniversary. Dark Souls‘ history is relatively straightforward in comparison to many other success stories in gaming. From Software first dabbled in the dark fantasy setting with Demon's Souls, showcasing their ability to tell epic but narratively mysterious tales featuring fantastical beasts, ambiguous NPCs and deceptively challenging gameplay. The last part has remained the foundation of all From Software games since, increasing their difficulty in newer titles like Bloodborne and Sekiro while still retaining their creative power for captivating and immersive stories, worlds and characters. Dark Souls was well-received by fans, often cited as their favourite game of all time. It's success went on to spawn two sequels, Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III; two creative spiritual successors in Bloodborne and the upcoming Elden Ring; and a Tenchu-styled action title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that heavily borrowed elements from From Software's trademark style. Demon's Souls may have been the first, but it was really Dark Souls that put the Japanese studio on the map, leaving behind a legacy that has been the source of inspiration for a number of games like the Nioh series, The Surge, Lords of the Fallen, Mortal Shell, and numerous others. Dark Souls is not only remembered for its staple difficulty, but inspired world design, creative boss encounters, a plot that simply begged to be dissected and explored further, and a blueprint for a new style of game that bounced off the success of this defining RPG.24th September 2021 – 20th anniversary of Ico - https://www.nme.com/en_au/features/gaming-features/ico-minimalist-masterclass-in-cinematic-and-emotional-storytelling-3051674 Released between those two films in 2001 and 2002, Ico (pronounced ‘ee-ko' – but don't worry if you get it wrong, I did so too for a very long time) is a single-player action-adventure game developed by Sony's Japan Studio. This game kicked off the career of Fumito Ueda. It was the first in a series of games that featured similar themes, including beloved titles like Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian. Ico is special in the way it handles abandonment and isolation. Devoid almost entirely of all dialogue, Ico essentially works like a silent film. There's a clear sense of loneliness that's present throughout the entire game. But there's also a feeling of hope. Ico's soundtrack is almost suffocating at times, though it also presents a number of beautiful pieces. “Heal,” for example, is one of the best save themes in any game. Ico's soundtrack is almost suffocating at times, though it also presents a number of beautiful pieces. “Heal,” for example, is one of the best save themes in any game. One of the game's fans is also Hidetaka Miyazaki of FROM Software. Miyazaki, the creator of Demon's Souls, and in turn the Souls series, is one of the biggest game industry figures of the last decade. Much in the way the game would inspire Straley and Druckmann, Miyazaki cites Ico as a game that showed him the different possibilities that video games as a medium had to offer.Remembrances21st September 1954 – Mikimoto Kōkichi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikimoto_K%C5%8DkichiA Japanese entrepreneur who is credited with creating the first cultured pearl and subsequently starting the cultured pearl industry with the establishment of his luxury pearl company Mikimoto. He was inducted into the house of peers by imperial decree and posthumously awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Sacred Treasure. On April 18, 1985, the Japan Patent Office selected him as one of Ten Japanese Great Inventors. The company was ranked as one of the world's most luxurious brands by Women's Wear Daily Magazine and Mikimoto was considered one of the best Japanese financial leaders of the 20th century by Nihon Keizai Shimbun. He is also known as the founder of Mikimoto Pharmaceuticals, a company specialising in beauty products containing pearl calcium. Mikimoto Pearl Island is named after him. In addition, the "Phoenix Mikimoto Crown" used by Miss Universe winners as well as the pageant crown used by Miss International is credited to his patented work. Mikimoto began his search of an alternative method to produce pearls as the chairman of the Shima Marine Products Improvement Association. At this point the demand for pearls had severely outweighed the supply, prompting the consideration of an effort to protect the oysters. In 1888, Mikimoto obtained a loan to start his first pearl oyster farm at the Shinmei inlet on Ago Bay in Mie prefecture with his wife and partner Ume. On 11 July 1893, after many failures and near bankruptcy, he was able to create the hemispherical cultured pearls. The pearls were made by seeding the oyster with a small amount of mother of pearl. In 1927, Mikimoto met with inventor, Thomas Edison, who was in awe of Mikimoto's cultured pearls as it was "supposed to be biologically impossible". He died at the age of 96 in Japan.Famous Birthdays21st September 1902 – Allen Lane - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_LaneA British publisher who together with his brothers Richard and John Lane founded Penguin Books in 1935, bringing high-quality paperback fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. In 1967 he started a hardback imprint under his own name, Allen Lane. He rose quickly at Bodley Head, becoming managing editor in 1925 following the death of his uncle. After conflict with the board of directors who were wary at first—for fear of being prosecuted—of publishing James Joyce's controversial book Ulysses, Lane, together with his brothers Richard and John, founded Penguin Books in 1935 as part of the Bodley Head. Penguin Books became a separate company the following year. The legend goes that on a train journey back from visiting Agatha Christie in 1934, Lane found himself on an Exeter station platform with nothing available worth reading. He conceived of paperback editions of literature of proven quality which would be cheap enough to be sold from a vending machine; the first was set up outside Henderson's in Charing Cross Road and dubbed the "Penguincubator". Lane was also well aware of the Hamburg publisher Albatross Books and adopted many of its innovations. Most booksellers and authors were against the idea of paperbacks. They believed that paperbacks would result in individuals spending less money on books. Lane was a person that was very stubborn when it came to his company. He operated mainly on intuition and imagination. "He thrived in an atmosphere of crisis and came most fully alive under the challenge of great dilemmas." He was a creative genius that once he had an idea he would not stop until it came to fruition. Once he decided on creating paperbacks he set about in deciding what the books should look like and finding a name. He had decided that the books would be reprints so he also needed to approach other publishers to see if they and their authors would be willing to sublease the rights of the books. He was quoted as saying, "I have never been able to understand why cheap books should not also be well designed, for good design is no more expensive than bad." He was born in Bristol.Events of Interest21th September 2003 – The Galileo spacecraft is terminated by sending it into Jupiter's atmosphere. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_project#End_of_mission_and_deorbit When the exploration of Mars was being considered in the early 1960s, Carl Sagan and Sidney Coleman produced a paper concerning contamination of the red planet. In order that scientists could determine whether or not native life forms existed before the planet became contaminated by micro-organisms from Earth, they proposed that space missions should aim at a 99.9 percent chance that contamination should not occur. This figure was adopted by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) of the International Council of Scientific Unions in 1964, and was subsequently applied to all planetary probes. The danger was highlighted in 1969 when the Apollo 12 astronauts returned components of the Surveyor 3 spacecraft that had landed on the Moon three years before, and it was found that microbes were still viable even after three years in that harsh climate. An alternative was the Prime Directive, a philosophy of non-interference with alien life forms enunciated by the original Star Trek television series that prioritized the interests of the life forms over those of scientists. Given the (admittedly slim) prospect of life on Europa, scientists Richard Greenberg and Randall Tufts proposed that a new standard be set of no greater chance of contamination that that which might occur naturally by meteorites. Galileo had not been sterilized prior to launch and could have carried bacteria from Earth. Therefore, a plan was formulated to send the probe directly into Jupiter, in an intentional crash to eliminate the possibility of an impact with Jupiter's moons, particularly Europa, and prevent a forward contamination. On April 14, 2003, Galileo reached its greatest orbital distance from Jupiter for the entire mission since orbital insertion, 26 million km (16 million mi), before plunging back towards the gas giant for its final impact. At the completion of J35, its final orbit around the Jovian system, Galileo impacted Jupiter in darkness just south of the equator on September 21, 2003, at 18:57 UTC. Its impact speed was approximately 48.26 km/s (29.99 mi/s).21st September 1994 – Dinosaur Island premiered in Japan - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109627/ On this day in 1994 in Japan, Dinosaur Island enjoyed its premiere on home video. The Fantasy/Comedy feature starred Griffin Drew and Michelle Bauer, and here's the premise: "An army captain is flying three misfit deserters home for a court martial when the plane has engine trouble and they must land on an uncharted island. There they find a primitive society of cave women who routinely sacrifice virgins to appease The Great One, the top dog dinosaur on the the island. Mistaken for gods, the men must destroy The Great One or face death, but meanwhile they fall in love."The cavewomen's ranch was constructed on a remote portion of David Carradine's ranch.Shot in 12 days.Almost every day was extremely hot during the shooting of this film except one.A sequence with a stop-motion animation dinosaur attacking people on the beach was changed to a hand puppet dinosaur in post-production.The filmmakers paid an additional four thousand dollars for the poster art used to advertise this film.Antonia Dorian said she was nervous filming her first love scene in this film, especially since she was going to be topless. She'd danced topless in Vegas shows and in videos, but that wasn't the same as being on a small set surrounded by male actors and crew just a few feet away, all staring at her. Jim Wynorski gave her wine to calm her nerves. He also limited how many people would be on set. That and the wine helped her finally get through the scene.When the female warriors are chasing the dinosaur towards the ocean, you can see Malibu homes in the background hills.Wynorski said that Roger Corman asked he and Fred Olen Ray to make the film after Jurassic Park came out. "It wasn't so much a Jurassic Park rip off as a cavewoman movie", Wynorski said.Wynorski and Ray said they rewrote the script entirely. They knew who they were going to cast, employing actors they had worked with before, and tailored the script accordingly. They based the characters of the soldiers on characters in Stripes. Another influence was The War that Time Forgot, part of the Star Spangled War Stories comic book series.The movie was shot at Vasquez Rocks and David Carradine's ranch at Sun Valley over ten days. Wynorski says he and Ray made it "on a wing and a prayer".Wynorski later said, "I'd never co-directed a movie before, but it was smooth sailing all the way. When one of us got tired, the other would take over. I'd usually go back to the comfort of the air-conditioned motor home and hang out with the girls. You really can't beat that."Wynorski says he was at a party when he met Joe Pesci who told him he loved the film, saying "everytime I watch it I feel like I want to go there."IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by Thinkst. This is going to take a minute to explain, so bear with me. I linked against an early version of their tool, canarytokens.org in the very early days of my newsletter, and what it does is relatively simple and straightforward. It winds up embedding credentials, files, that sort of thing in various parts of your environment, wherever you want to; it gives you fake AWS API credentials, for example. And the only thing that these things do is alert you whenever someone attempts to use those things. It’s an awesome approach. I’ve used something similar for years. Check them out. But wait, there’s more. They also have an enterprise option that you should be very much aware of canary.tools. You can take a look at this, but what it does is it provides an enterprise approach to drive these things throughout your entire environment. You can get a physical device that hangs out on your network and impersonates whatever you want to. When it gets Nmap scanned, or someone attempts to log into it, or access files on it, you get instant alerts. It’s awesome. If you don’t do something like this, you’re likely to find out that you’ve gotten breached, the hard way. Take a look at this. It’s one of those few things that I look at and say, “Wow, that is an amazing idea. I love it.” That’s canarytokens.org and canary.tools. The first one is free. The second one is enterprise-y. Take a look. I’m a big fan of this. More from them in the coming weeks.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at Lumigo.

Today I’m joined by Donnie Berkholz, who’s here to talk about his role as the VP of Products at Docker, whether he knows it or not. Donnie, welcome to the show.Donnie: Thanks. I’m excited to be here.Corey: So, the burning question that I have that inspired me to reach out to you is fundamentally, and very bluntly and directly, Docker was a thing in, I want to say the 2015-ish era, where there was someone who gave a parody talk for five minutes where they got up and said nothing but the word Docker over and over again, in a bunch of different tones, and everyone laughed because it seemed like, for a while, that was what a lot of tech conference talks were about 50% of the way. It’s years later, now, and it’s 2021 as of the time of this recording. How is Docker relevant today?Donnie: Great question. And I think one that a lot of people are wondering about. The way that I think about it, and the reason that I joined Docker, about six months back now, was, I saw the same thing you did in the early 2010s, 2013 to 2016 or so. Docker was a brand new tool, beloved of developers and DevOps engineers everywhere. And they took that, gained the traction of millions of people, and tried to pivot really hard into taking that bottom-up open-source traction and turning it into a top-down, kind of, sell to the CIO and the VP operations, orchestration management, kind of classic big company approach. And that approach never really took off to the extent that would let Docker become an explosive success commercially in the same way that it did across the open-source community and building out the usability of containers as a concept.Now, new Docker, as of November 2019, divested all of the top-down operations production environment stuff to Mirantis and took a look at what else there was. And the executive staff at the time, the investors thought there might be something in there, it’s worth making a bet on the developer-facing parts of Docker to see if the things that built the developer love in the first place were commercially viable as well. And so looking through that we had things left like Docker Hub, Docker Engine, things like Notary, and Docker Desktop. So, a lot of the direct tools that developers use on a daily basis to get their jobs done when they’re working on modern applications, whether that’s twelve-factor, whether that’s something they’re trying to lift and shift into a container, whatever it might look like, it’s still used every day. And so the thought was, there might be something in here.Let’s invest some money, let’s invest some time and see what we can make of it because it feels promising. And fast-forward a couple of years—we’re in early 2021—we just announced our Series B investment because the past year has shown that there’s something real there. People are using Docker heavily; people are willing to pay for it, and where we’re going with it is much higher level than just containers or just a registry. I think there’s a lot more opportunity there. When I was watching the market as a whole drifting toward Kubernetes, what you can see is, to me, it’s a lot like a repeat of the old OpenStack days where you’ve got tons of vendors in the space, it’s extremely crowded, everybody’s trying to sell the same thing to the same small set of early adopters who are ready for it.Whereas if you look at the developer side of containers, it’s very sparsely populated. Nobody’s gone hard after developers in a bottom-up self-service kind of way and helped them adopt containers and helped them be more productive doing so. So, I saw that as a really compelling opportunity and one where I feel like we’ve got a lot of runway ahead of us.Corey: Back in the early days—this is a bit of a history lesson that I’m sure you’re aware of, but I want to make sure that my understanding winds up aligning with yours is, Docker was transformative when it was announced—I want to say 2012, in Santa Clara, but don’t quote me on that one—and, effectively, what it promised to solve was—I mean, containerization was not a new idea. We had that with LPARs on mainframes way before my time. And it’s sort of iterated forward ever since. What it fundamentally solved was the tooling around those things where suddenly it got rid of the problem of, “Well, it worked on my machine.” And the rejoinder from the grumpy ops person—which I very much was—was, “Great. Then backup your email because your laptop’s about to go into production.”By having containers, suddenly you have an environment or an application that was packaged inside of a mini-environment that was able to be run basically anywhere. And it was, write once, deploy basically as many times as you want. And over time, that became incredibly interesting, not just for developers, but also for folks who were trying to migrate applications. You can stuff basically anything into a container. Whether you should or not is a completely separate conversation that I am going to avoid by a wide margin. Am I right so far in everything that I have said there?Donnie: Yep. Absolutely.Corey: Awesome. So, then we have this container runtime that handles the packaging piece. And then people replaced Docker in that cherished position in their hearts—which is the thing that they talk about, even when you beg them to stop—with Kubernetes, which is effectively an orchestration system for containers, invariably Docker. And now people are talking about that constantly and consistently. If we go back to looking at similar things in the ecosystem, people used to care tremendously about what distribution of Linux they ran.And then—well, okay. If not the distro, definitely the OS wars of, is this Windows or is this a Linux workload? And as time has gone on, people care about that less and less where they just want the application to work; they don’t care what it’s running in under the hood. And it feels that the container runtime has gotten to that point as well. And soon, my belief is that we’re going to see the orchestrator slip below that surface level of awareness of things people have to care about, if for no other reason than if you look at Kubernetes today, it is fiendishly complicated, and that doesn’t usually last very long in this space before there’s an abstraction layer built that compresses all of that into something you don’t really have to think about, except for a small number of people at very specific companies. Does that in any way change, I guess, the relevance of Docker to developers today? Or am I thinking about this the wrong way with viewing Docker as a pure technology, instead of an ecosystem?Donnie: I think it changes the relevance of Docker much more to platform teams and DevOps teams—as much as I wish that wasn’t a word or a term—operations groups that are running the Kubernetes environments, or that are running applications at scale in production, where maybe in the early days, they would run Docker directly in prod, then they moved to running Docker as a container runtime within Kubernetes, and more recently, the core of Docker—which was containerd—as a replacement for that overall Docker, which used dockershim. So, I think the change here is really around, what does that production environment look like? And where we’re really focusing our effort is much more on the developer experience. I think that’s where Docker found its magic in the first place was in taking incredibly complicated technologies and making them really easy in a way that developers love to use. So, we continue to invest much more on the developer tools part of it, rather than what does the shape of the production environment look like?And how do we horizontally scale this to hundreds or thousands of containers? Not interesting problems for us right now. We’re much more looking at things like how do we keep it simple for developers so they can focus on a simple application. But it is an application and not just a container, so we’re still thinking of moving to things that developers care about. They don’t necessarily care about containers; they care about their app.So, what’s the shape of that app, and how does it fit into the structure of containers? In some cases, it’s a single container, in some cases, it’s multiple containers. And that’s where we’ve seen Docker Compose pick up as a hugely popular technology. When we look at our own surveys, when we look at external surveys, we see on the order of two-thirds of people who use Docker using Compose to do it, either for ease of automation and reproducibility or for ease of managing an application that spans across multiple containers as a logical service, rather than try and shove it all in one and hope it sticks.Corey: I used to be relatively, I guess, cynical about Docker. In fact, one of my first breakout talks started life as a lightning talk called “Heresy in the Church of Docker,” where I just came up with a list of a few things that were challenging and didn’t fully understand. It was mostly jokes, and the first half of it was set to the backstory of an embarrassing chocolate coffee explosion that a boss of mine once had. And that was great. Like, what’s the story here? What’s the relevance? Just a story of someone who didn’t understand their failure modes of containers in production. Cue laugh.And that was great. And someone came up to me and said, “Hey, can you give the full version of that talk at ContainerCon?” To which my response was, “There’s a full version?” Followed immediately by, “Absolutely.” And it sort of took life from there.Now, I want to say that talk hasn’t aged super well because everything that I highlighted in that talk has since been fixed. I was just early and being snarky, and I genuinely, when I gave that first version, didn’t understand the answers. And I was expecting to be corrected vociferously by an awful lot of folks. Instead, it was, “Yeah, these are challenges.” At which point I realized, “Holy crap, maybe everyone isn’t 80 years ahead of me in technical understanding.” And for better or worse, it’s set an interesting tone.Donnie: Absolutely. So, what do you think people really took out of that talk that surprised you?Corey: The first thing that I think, from my perspective, that caught me by surprise was that people are looking at me as some sort of thought leader—their term, not mine—and my response was, “Holy crap. I’m not a thought leader. I’m just a loud, white guy in tech.” And yep, those are pretty much the same thing in some circles, which is its own series of problems. But further, people were looking at this and taking it seriously, as in, “Well, we do need to have some plans to mitigate this.”And there are different discussions that went back and forth with folks coming up with various solutions to these things. And my first awareness, at least, that pointing out problems where you don’t know the answer is not always a terrible thing; it can be a useful thing as well. And it also—let me put a bit of a flag there as far as a point in time because looking back at that talk, it’s naive. I’ve done a bunch of things since then with Docker. I mean, today, I run Docker on my overpowered Mac to have a container that’s listening with our syslog.And I have a bunch of devices around the house that are spitting out their logs there, so when things explode I have a rough idea of what happened. It solves weird problems. I wind up doing a number of deployment processes here for serverless nonsense via Docker. It has become this pervasive technology that if I were to take an absolutist stance that, “Oh, Docker is terrible. I’m never going to use Docker.”It’s still here for me, and it’s still available and working. But I want to get back to something you said a minute ago because my use of Docker is very much the operations sysadmin-with-title-inflation whatever we’re calling them this week; that use case and that model. Who is Docker viewing as its customer today? Who as a company are you identifying as the people with the painful problem that you can solve?Donnie: For us, it’s really about the developer, rather than the ops team. And specifically it’s about the development team. And this to me is a really important distinction because developers don’t work in isolation; developers collaborate together on a daily basis, and a lot of that collaboration is very poorly solved. You jump very quickly from, “I’m doing remote pairing in my code editor,” to, “It’s pushed to GitHub, and it’s now instantly rolling into my CI pipeline on its way to production.” There’s not a lot of intermediate ground there.So, when we think about how developers are trying to build, share, and run modern applications, I think there’s a ton of whitespace in there. We’ve been sharing a bunch of experiments, for anybody who’s interested. We do community all-hands every couple of months where we share, here’s some of the things we’re working on. And importantly, to me, it’s focused on problems. Everything you were describing in that heresy talk was about problems that exist, and pointing out problems.And those problems, for us, when we talk to developers using Docker, those problems form the core of our roadmap. The problems we hear the most often as the most frustrating and the most painful, guess what? Those are the things we’re going to focus on as great opportunities for us. And so we hear people talking about things like they’re using Docker, or they’re using containers, but they have a really hard time finding the good ones. And they can’t create good ones, they are just looking for more guidance, more prescription, more curation, to be able to figure out where’s this good stuff amidst the millions of containers out there? How do I find the ones that are worth using, for me as an individual, for me as a team, and for me as a company. I mean, all of those have different levels of requirements and expectations associated with them.Corey: One of the perceptions I’ve had of the DevOps movement—as someone who started off as a grumpy Linux systems administrator—is the sense that they’re trying to converge application developers with infrastructure engineers at some point. And I started off taking a very, “Oh, I’m not a developer. I don’t write code.” And then it was, “Huh. You know, I am writing an awful lot of configuration, often in something like Ruby or Python.” And of course, now it seems like everyone has converged as developers with the lingua franca of all development everywhere, which is, of course, YAML. Do you think there’s a divide between the ops folks and the application developers in 2021?Donnie: You know, I think it’s a long journey. Back when I was at RedMonk, I wrote up a post talking about the way those roles were changing, the responsibilities were shifting over time. And you step back in time, and it was very much, you know, the developer owns the dev stack, the local stack, or if there’s a remote developer environment, they’re 100% responsible for it. And the ops team owned production, 100% responsible for everything in that stack. And over the past decade, that’s clearly been evolving.They could still own their code in production and get the value out of understanding how that was used, the value of fast iteration cycles, without having to own it all, everywhere, all of the time, and have to focus their time on things that they had really no time or interest to spend it on. So, those things have both been happening to me, not in parallel, quite; I think DevOps in terms of ops learning development skillsets and applying those has been faster than development teams who were taking ownership for that full lifecycle and that iteration all the way to production, and then back around. Part of that is cultural in terms of what developer teams have been willing to do. Part of it is cultural in terms of what the old operations teams—now becoming platform engineering teams—have been willing to give up, and their willingness to sacrifice control. There’s always good times like PCI compliance, and how do you fight those sorts of battles.And when I think about it, it’s been rotating. And first, we saw infrastructure teams, ops teams, take more ownership for being a platform, in a lot of cases, either guided by the emerging infrastructure automation config management tools like CFEngine back in the early 90s, which turned into Puppet and Chef, which turned into Ansible and Salt, which now continue to evolve beyond those. A lot of those enabled that rotation of responsibilities where infrastructure could be a platform rather than an ops team that had to take ownership of overall production. And that was really, to me, it was ops moving into a development mindset, and development capabilities, and development skillsets. Now, at the same time, development teams were starting to have the ability to take over ownership for their code running into production without having to take ownership over the full production stack and all the complexities involved in the hardware, and the data centers, and the colos, or the public cloud production environments, whatever they may be.So, there’s a lot of barriers in the way, but to me, those have been all happening alongside, time-shifted a little bit. And then really, the core of it was as those two groups become increasingly similar in how they think and how they work, breaking down more of the silos in terms of how they collaborate effectively, and how they can help solve each other’s problems, instead of really being separate worlds.Corey: This episode is sponsored by ExtraHop. ExtraHop provides threat detection and response for the Enterprise (not the starship). On-prem security doesn’t translate well to cloud or multi-cloud environments, and that’s not even counting IoT. ExtraHop automatically discovers everything inside the perimeter, including your cloud workloads and IoT devices, detects these threats up to 35 percent faster, and helps you act immediately. Ask for a free trial of detection and response for AWS today at extrahop.com/trial.Corey: Docker was always described as a DevOps tool. And well, “What is DevOps?” “Oh, it’s about breaking down the silos between developers and the operations folks.” Cool, great. Well, let’s try this. And I used to run DevOps teams. I know, I know, don’t email me. When you’re picking your battles, team naming is one of the last ones I try to get to.But then we would, okay, I’m going to get this application that is in a container from development. Cool. It’s—don’t look inside of it, it’s just going to make you sad, but take these containers and put them into production and you can manage them regardless of what that application is actually doing. It felt like it wasn’t so much breaking down a wall, as it was giving a mechanism to hurl things over that wall. Is that just because I worked in terrible places with bad culture? If so, I don’t know that I’m very alone in that, but that’s what it felt like.Donnie: It’s a good question. And I think there’s multiple pieces to that. It is important. I just was rereading the Team Topologies book the other day, which talks about the idea of a team API, and how do you interface with other teams as people as well as the products or platforms they’re supporting? And I think there’s a lot of value in having the ability to throw things over a wall—or down a pipeline; however you think about it—in a very automated way, rather than going off and filing a ticket with your friendly ITSM instance, and waiting for somebody else to take action based on that.So, there’s a ton of value there. The other side of it, I think, is more of the consultative role, rather than the take work from another team and then go do another thing with it, and then pass it to the next team down and then so on, unto eternity. Which is really, how do you take the expertise across all those teams and bring it together to solve the problems when they affect a broader radius of groups. And so, that might be when you’re thinking about designing the next iteration of your application, you might want to have somebody with more infrastructure expertise in the room, depending on the problems you’re solving. You might want to have somebody who has a really deep understanding of your security requirements or compliance requirements if you’re redesigning an application that’s dealing with credit card data.But all those are problems that you can’t solve in isolation; you have to solve them by breaking down the barriers. Because the alternative is you build it, and then you try and release it, and then you have a gatekeeper that holds up a big red flag, delays your release by six months so you can go back and fix all the crap you forgot to do in the first place.Corey: While on the topic of being able to, I guess, use containers as sort of as these agnostic components, I suppose, and the effects that that has, I’d love to get your take on this idea that I see that’s relatively pervasive, which is, “I can build an application inside of containers”—and that is, let’s be clear, that is the way an awful lot of containers are being built today. If people are telling you otherwise, they’re wrong—“And then just run it in any environment. You’ve built an application that is completely cloud agnostic.” And what cloud you’re going to run it in today—or even your own data center—is purely a question of either, “What’s the cheapest one I can use today?” Or, “What is my mood this morning?” And you press a button and the application lives in that environment flawlessly, regardless of what that provider is. Where do you stand on that, I guess, utopian vision?Donnie: Yeah, I think it’s almost a dystopian vision, the way I think about it—which is the least common denominator approach to portability—limits your ability to focus on innovation rather than focusing on managing that portability layer. There are cases where it’s worth doing because you’re at significant risk, for some reason, of focusing on a specific portability platform versus another one, but the bulk of the time, to me, it’s about how do you focus your time and effort where you can create value for your company? Your company doesn’t care about containers; your company doesn’t care about Kubernetes; your company cares about getting value to their customers more quickly. So, whatever it takes to do that, that’s where you should be focusing as much time and energy as possible. So, the container interface is one API of an application, one thing that enables you to take it to different places, but there’s lots of other ones as well.I mean, no container runs in isolation. I think there’s some quote, I forget the author, but, “No human is an island” at this point. No container runs in isolation by itself. No group of containers do, either. They have dependencies, they have interactions, there’s always going to be a lot more to it, of how do you interact with other services?How do you do so in a way that lets you get the most bang for your buck and focus on differentiation? And none of that is going to be from only using the barest possible infrastructure components and limiting yourself to something that feels like shared functionality across multiple cloud providers or multiple other platforms.Corey: This gets into the sort of the battle of multi-cloud. My position has been that, first, there are a lot of vendors that try and push back against the idea of going all-in on one provider for a variety of reasons that aren’t necessarily ideal. But the transparent thing that I tend to see—or at least I believe that I see—is that well, if fundamentally, you wind up going all-in on a provider, an awful lot of third-party vendors will have nothing left to sell you. Whereas as long as you’re trying to split the difference and ride multiple horses at once, well, there’s a whole lot of painful problems in there that you can sell solutions to. That might be overly cynical, but it’s hard to see some stories like that.Now, that’s often been misinterpreted as that I believe that you should always have every workload on a single provider of choice and that’s it. I don’t think that makes sense, either. I mean, I have my email system run in GSuite, which is part of Google Cloud, for whatever reason, and I don’t use Amazon’s offering for the same because I’m not nuts. Whereas my infrastructure does indeed live in AWS, but I also pay for GitHub as an example—which is also in the Azure business unit because of course it is—and different workloads live in different places. That’s a naive oversimplification, but in large companies, different workloads do live in different places.Then you get into stories such as acquisitions of different divisions that are running in completely different providers. I don’t see any real reason to migrate those things, but I also don’t see a reason why you have to have single points of control that reach into all of those different application workloads at the same time. Maybe I’m oversimplifying, and I’m not seeing a whole subset of the world. Curious to hear where you stand on that one?Donnie: Yeah, it’s an interesting one. I definitely see a lot of the same things that you do, which is lots of different applications, each running in their own place. A former colleague of mine used to call it ‘best execution venue’ over at 451. And what I don’t see, or almost never see, is that unicorn of the single application that seamlessly migrates across multiple different cloud providers, or does the whole cloud-bursting thing where you’ve got your on-prem or colo workload, and it seamlessly pops over into AWS, or Azure, or GCP, or wherever else, during peak capacity season, like tax season if you’re at a tax company, or something along those lines. You almost never see anything that realistically does that because it’s so hard to do and the payoff is so low compared to putting it in one place where it’s the best suited for it and focusing your time and effort on the business value part of it rather than on the cost minimization part and the risk mitigation part of, if you have to move from one cloud provider to another, what is it going to take to do that? Well, it’s not going to be that easy. You’ll get it done, but it’ll be a year and a half later, by the time you get there and your customers might not be too happy at that point.Corey: One area I want to get at is, you talk about, now, addressing developers where they are and solving problems that they have. What are those problems? What painful problem does a developer have today as they’re building an application that Docker is aimed at solving?Donnie: When we put the problems that we’re hearing from our customers into three big buckets, we think about that as building, sharing, and running a modern application. There’s lots of applications out there; not all of them are modern, so we’re already trying to focus ourselves into a segment of those groups where Docker is really well-suited and containers are really well suited to solve those problems, rather than something where you’re kind of forklift-ing it in and trying to make it work to the best of your ability. So, when we think about that, what we hear a lot of is three common themes. Around building applications, we hear a lot about developer velocity, about time being wasted, both sitting at gatekeepers, but also searching for good reusable components. So, we hear a lot of that around building applications, which is, give me a developer velocity, give me good high-trust content, help me create the good stuff so that when I’m publishing the app, I can easily share it, and I can easily feel confident that it’s good.And on the sharing note, people consistently say that it’s very hard for them to stay in sync with their teams if there’s multiple people working on the same application or the same part of the codebase. It’s really challenging to do that in anything resembling a real-time basis. You’ve got the repository, which people tend to think of—whether that’s a container repository, or whether that’s a code repository—they tend to think of that as, “I’m publishing this.” But where do you share? What do you collaborate on things that aren’t ready to publish yet?And we hear a lot of people who are looking for that sort of middle ground of how do I keep in sync with my colleagues on things that aren’t ready to put that stamp on where I feel like it’s done enough to share with the world? And then the third theme that we hear a lot about is around running applications. And when I distinguish this against old Docker, the big difference here is we don’t want to be the runtime platform in production. What we want to do is provide developers with a high-fidelity, consistent kind of experience, no matter which environment they’re working with. So, if they’re in their desktop, if they’re in their CI pipeline, or if they’re working with a cloud-hosted developer environment, or even production, we want to provide them with that same kind of feeling experience.And so an example of this was last year, we built these Compose plugins that we call code-to-cloud plugins, where you could deploy to ECS, or you could deploy to ACI cloud container instances, in addition to being able to do a local Compose up. And all of that gives you the same kind of experience because you can flip between one Docker context and the other and run, essentially, the same set of commands. So, we hear people trying to deal with productivity, trying to deal with collaboration, trying to deal with complex experiences, and trying to simplify all of those. So, those are really the big areas we’re looking at is that build, share, run themes.Corey: What does that mean for the future of Docker? What is the vision that you folks are aiming at that goes beyond just, I guess—I’m not trying to be insulting when I say this, but the pedestrian concerns of today? Because viewed through the lens of the future, looking back at these days, every technical problem we have is going to seem, on some level, like it’s, “Oh, it’s easy. There’s a better solution.” What does Docker become in 15 years?Donnie: Yeah, I think there’s a big gap between where people edit their code, where people save their source code, and that path to production. And so, we see ourselves as providing a really valuable development tools that—we’re not going to be the IDE and we’re not going to be the pipeline, but we’re going to be a lot of that glue that ties everything together. One thing that has only gotten worse over the years is the amount of fragmentation that’s out there in developer toolchains, developer pipelines, similar with the rise of microservices over the past decade, it’s only gotten more complicated, more languages, more tools, more things to support and an exponentially increasing number of interconnections where things need to integrate well together. And so that’s the problem that, really, we’re solving is all those things are super-complicated, huge pain to make everything work consistently, and we think there’s a huge amount of value there and tying that together for the individual, for the team.Corey: Donnie, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today.

Running OpenBSD/NetBSD on FreeBSD using grub2-bhyve, vermaden’s FreeBSD story, thoughts on OpenBSD on the desktop, history of file type info in Unix dirs, Multiboot a Pinebook KDE neon image, and more. ##Headlines OpenBSD/NetBSD on FreeBSD using grub2-bhyve When I was writing a blog post about the process title, I needed a couple of virtual machines with OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Ubuntu. Before that day I mainly used FreeBSD and Windows with bhyve. I spent some time trying to set up an OpenBSD using bhyve and UEFI as described here. I had numerous problems trying to use it, and this was the day I discovered the grub2-bhyve tool, and I love it! The grub2-bhyve allows you to load a kernel using GRUB bootloader. GRUB supports most of the operating systems with a standard configuration, so exactly the same method can be used to install NetBSD or Ubuntu. First, let’s install grub2-bhyve on our FreeBSD box: # pkg install grub2-bhyve To run grub2-bhyve we need to provide at least the name of the VM. In bhyve, if the memsize is not specified the default VM is created with 256MB of the memory. # grub-bhyve test GNU GRUB version 2.00 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub> After running grub-bhyve command we will enter the GRUB loader. If we type the ls command, we will see all the available devices. In the case of the grub2-bhyve there is one additional device called “(host)” that is always available and allows the host filesystem to be accessed. We can list files under that device. grub> ls (host) grub> ls (host)/ libexec/ bin/ usr/ bhyve/ compat/ tank/ etc/ boot/ net/ entropy proc/ lib/ root/ sys/ mnt/ rescue/ tmp/ home/ sbin/ media/ jail/ COPYRIGHT var/ dev/ grub> To exit console simply type ‘reboot’. I would like to install my new operating system under a ZVOL ztank/bhyve/post. On another terminal, we create: # zfs create -V 10G ztank/bhyve/post If you don’t use ZFS for some crazy reason you can also create a raw blob using the truncate(1) command. # truncate -s 10G post.img I recommend installing an operating system from the disk image (installXX.fs for OpenBSD and NetBSD-X.X-amd64-install.img for NetBSD). Now we need to create a device map for a GRUB. cat > /tmp/post.map ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos4) (hd0,msdos1) (hd0,openbsd9) (hd0,openbsd1) (hd1) (host) The hd0 (in this example OpenBSD image) contains multiple partitions. We can check what is on it. grub> ls (hd0,msdos4)/ boot bsd 6.4/ etc/ And this is the partition that contains a kernel. Now we can set a root device, load an OpenBSD kernel and boot: grub> set root=(hd0,msdos4) grub> kopenbsd -h com0 -r sd0a /bsd grub> boot After that, we can run bhyve virtual machine.

In Episode 6, we interviewed Christian Horea about the [NeuroGentoo Overlay](https://github.com/TheChymera/neurogentoo) for Gentoo Linux which includes specific packages for Neuroscience. With this distribution many of the challenges in neuroscience software management; including: system replicability, system documentation, data analysis reproducibility, fine-grained dependency management, easy control over compilation options, and seamless access to cutting-edge software releases, are addressed. Fore more details we refer to his publication: [Gentoo Linux for Neuroscience - a replicable, flexible, scalable, rolling-release environment that provides direct access to development software](https://riojournal.com/article/12095/). About Christian Horea: Christian Horea is a Doctoral Researcher at the ETH Zurich, where he studies the ability of psychotropic drugs to modulate brain function in healthy animals. He has previously engaged in research at the University of Heidelberg, University of Oxford, Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, University of Oldenburg, and the Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His work has spanned the gamut of neuroscience from electrophysiology and molecular biology all the way to experimental psychology — and includes an extensive excursion into the world of Linux, Python, and software management. He has written many Free and Open Source Software packages for data analysis, metadata and lab book management, reproducible self-publishing, and data repositing. We join him on part of this exciting journey, to learn about an initiative he started — NeuroGentoo — and how he sees Free and Open Source Software, freedom in choosing and picking such software, and transparency in the choices having been made, as instrumental to the neuroscience of the present and future, and how Gentoo Linux (perhaps uniquely) makes tackling these challenges possible.

How the term open source was created, running FreeBSD on ThinkPad T530, Moving away from Windows, Unknown Giants, as well as OpenBSD and FreeDOS. This episode was brought to you by Headlines How I coined the term 'open source' (https://opensource.com/article/18/2/coining-term-open-source-software) In a few days, on February 3, the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the term "open source software" is upon us. As open source software grows in popularity and powers some of the most robust and important innovations of our time, we reflect on its rise to prominence. I am the originator of the term "open source software" and came up with it while executive director at Foresight Institute. Not a software developer like the rest, I thank Linux programmer Todd Anderson for supporting the term and proposing it to the group. This is my account of how I came up with it, how it was proposed, and the subsequent reactions. Of course, there are a number of accounts of the coining of the term, for example by Eric Raymond and Richard Stallman, yet this is mine, written on January 2, 2006. It has never been published, until today. The introduction of the term "open source software" was a deliberate effort to make this field of endeavor more understandable to newcomers and to business, which was viewed as necessary to its spread to a broader community of users. The problem with the main earlier label, "free software," was not its political connotations, but that—to newcomers—its seeming focus on price is distracting. A term was needed that focuses on the key issue of source code and that does not immediately confuse those new to the concept. The first term that came along at the right time and fulfilled these requirements was rapidly adopted: open source. This term had long been used in an "intelligence" (i.e., spying) context, but to my knowledge, use of the term with respect to software prior to 1998 has not been confirmed. The account below describes how the term open source software caught on and became the name of both an industry and a movement. Meetings on computer security In late 1997, weekly meetings were being held at Foresight Institute to discuss computer security. Foresight is a nonprofit think tank focused on nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, and software security is regarded as central to the reliability and security of both. We had identified free software as a promising approach to improving software security and reliability and were looking for ways to promote it. Interest in free software was starting to grow outside the programming community, and it was increasingly clear that an opportunity was coming to change the world. However, just how to do this was unclear, and we were groping for strategies. At these meetings, we discussed the need for a new term due to the confusion factor. The argument was as follows: those new to the term "free software" assume it is referring to the price. Oldtimers must then launch into an explanation, usually given as follows: "We mean free as in freedom, not free as in beer." At this point, a discussion on software has turned into one about the price of an alcoholic beverage. The problem was not that explaining the meaning is impossible—the problem was that the name for an important idea should not be so confusing to newcomers. A clearer term was needed. No political issues were raised regarding the free software term; the issue was its lack of clarity to those new to the concept. Releasing Netscape On February 2, 1998, Eric Raymond arrived on a visit to work with Netscape on the plan to release the browser code under a free-software-style license. We held a meeting that night at Foresight's office in Los Altos to strategize and refine our message. In addition to Eric and me, active participants included Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Todd Anderson, Mark S. Miller, and Ka-Ping Yee. But at that meeting, the field was still described as free software or, by Brian, "source code available" software. While in town, Eric used Foresight as a base of operations. At one point during his visit, he was called to the phone to talk with a couple of Netscape legal and/or marketing staff. When he was finished, I asked to be put on the phone with them—one man and one woman, perhaps Mitchell Baker—so I could bring up the need for a new term. They agreed in principle immediately, but no specific term was agreed upon. Between meetings that week, I was still focused on the need for a better name and came up with the term "open source software." While not ideal, it struck me as good enough. I ran it by at least four others: Eric Drexler, Mark Miller, and Todd Anderson liked it, while a friend in marketing and public relations felt the term "open" had been overused and abused and believed we could do better. He was right in theory; however, I didn't have a better idea, so I thought I would try to go ahead and introduce it. In hindsight, I should have simply proposed it to Eric Raymond, but I didn't know him well at the time, so I took an indirect strategy instead. Todd had agreed strongly about the need for a new term and offered to assist in getting the term introduced. This was helpful because, as a non-programmer, my influence within the free software community was weak. My work in nanotechnology education at Foresight was a plus, but not enough for me to be taken very seriously on free software questions. As a Linux programmer, Todd would be listened to more closely. The key meeting Later that week, on February 5, 1998, a group was assembled at VA Research to brainstorm on strategy. Attending—in addition to Eric Raymond, Todd, and me—were Larry Augustin, Sam Ockman, and attending by phone, Jon "maddog" Hall. The primary topic was promotion strategy, especially which companies to approach. I said little, but was looking for an opportunity to introduce the proposed term. I felt that it wouldn't work for me to just blurt out, "All you technical people should start using my new term." Most of those attending didn't know me, and for all I knew, they might not even agree that a new term was greatly needed, or even somewhat desirable. Fortunately, Todd was on the ball. Instead of making an assertion that the community should use this specific new term, he did something less directive—a smart thing to do with this community of strong-willed individuals. He simply used the term in a sentence on another topic—just dropped it into the conversation to see what happened. I went on alert, hoping for a response, but there was none at first. The discussion continued on the original topic. It seemed only he and I had noticed the usage. Not so—memetic evolution was in action. A few minutes later, one of the others used the term, evidently without noticing, still discussing a topic other than terminology. Todd and I looked at each other out of the corners of our eyes to check: yes, we had both noticed what happened. I was excited—it might work! But I kept quiet: I still had low status in this group. Probably some were wondering why Eric had invited me at all. Toward the end of the meeting, the question of terminology was brought up explicitly, probably by Todd or Eric. Maddog mentioned "freely distributable" as an earlier term, and "cooperatively developed" as a newer term. Eric listed "free software," "open source," and "sourceware" as the main options. Todd advocated the "open source" model, and Eric endorsed this. I didn't say much, letting Todd and Eric pull the (loose, informal) consensus together around the open source name. It was clear that to most of those at the meeting, the name change was not the most important thing discussed there; a relatively minor issue. Only about 10% of my notes from this meeting are on the terminology question. But I was elated. These were some key leaders in the community, and they liked the new name, or at least didn't object. This was a very good sign. There was probably not much more I could do to help; Eric Raymond was far better positioned to spread the new meme, and he did. Bruce Perens signed on to the effort immediately, helping set up Opensource.org and playing a key role in spreading the new term. For the name to succeed, it was necessary, or at least highly desirable, that Tim O'Reilly agree and actively use it in his many projects on behalf of the community. Also helpful would be use of the term in the upcoming official release of the Netscape Navigator code. By late February, both O'Reilly & Associates and Netscape had started to use the term. Getting the name out After this, there was a period during which the term was promoted by Eric Raymond to the media, by Tim O'Reilly to business, and by both to the programming community. It seemed to spread very quickly. On April 7, 1998, Tim O'Reilly held a meeting of key leaders in the field. Announced in advance as the first "Freeware Summit," by April 14 it was referred to as the first "Open Source Summit." These months were extremely exciting for open source. Every week, it seemed, a new company announced plans to participate. Reading Slashdot became a necessity, even for those like me who were only peripherally involved. I strongly believe that the new term was helpful in enabling this rapid spread into business, which then enabled wider use by the public. A quick Google search indicates that "open source" appears more often than "free software," but there still is substantial use of the free software term, which remains useful and should be included when communicating with audiences who prefer it. A happy twinge When an early account of the terminology change written by Eric Raymond was posted on the Open Source Initiative website, I was listed as being at the VA brainstorming meeting, but not as the originator of the term. This was my own fault; I had neglected to tell Eric the details. My impulse was to let it pass and stay in the background, but Todd felt otherwise. He suggested to me that one day I would be glad to be known as the person who coined the name "open source software." He explained the situation to Eric, who promptly updated his site. Coming up with a phrase is a small contribution, but I admit to being grateful to those who remember to credit me with it. Every time I hear it, which is very often now, it gives me a little happy twinge. The big credit for persuading the community goes to Eric Raymond and Tim O'Reilly, who made it happen. Thanks to them for crediting me, and to Todd Anderson for his role throughout. The above is not a complete account of open source history; apologies to the many key players whose names do not appear. Those seeking a more complete account should refer to the links in this article and elsewhere on the net. FreeBSD on a Laptop - A guide to a fully functional installation of FreeBSD on a ThinkPad T530 (https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/freebsd-on-a-laptop) As I stated my previous post, I recently dug up my old ThinkPad T530 after the embarrassing stream of OS X security bugs this month. Although this ThinkPad ran Gentoo faithfully during my time in graduate school at Clemson, these days I'd much rather spend time my wife and baby than fighting with emerge and USE flags. FreeBSD has always been my OS of choice, and laptop support seems to be much better than it was a few years ago. In this guide, I'll show you the tweaks I made to wrestle FreeBSD into a decent experience on a laptop. Unlike my usual posts, this time I'm going to assume you're already pretty familiar with FreeBSD. If you're a layman looking for your first BSD-based desktop, I highly recommend checking out TrueOS (previously PC-BSD): they've basically taken FreeBSD and packaged it with all the latest drivers, along with a user-friendly installer and custom desktop environment out of the box. TrueOS is an awesome project–the only reason I don't use it is because I'm old, grumpy, and persnickety about having my operating system just so. Anyway, if you'd still like to take the plunge, read on. Keep in mind, I'm using a ThinkPad T530, but other ThinkPads of the same generation should be similarly compatible. Here's what you'll get: Decent battery life (8-9 hours with a new 9-cell battery) UEFI boot and full-disk encryption WiFi (Intel Ultimate-N 6300) Ethernet (Intel PRO/1000) Screen brightness adjustment Suspend/Resume on lid close (make sure to disable TPM in BIOS) Audio (Realtek ALC269 HDA, speakers and headphone jack) Keyboard multimedia buttons Touchpad/Trackpoint Graphics Acceleration (with integrated Intel graphics, NVIDIA card disabled in BIOS) What I haven't tested yet: Bluetooth Webcam Fingerprint reader SD Card slot Installation Power Saving Tweaks for Desktop Use X11 Fonts Login Manager: SLiM Desktop Environment: i3 Applications The LLVM Sanitizers stage accomplished (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/the_llvm_sanitizers_stage_accomplished) I've managed to get the Memory Sanitizer to work for the elementary base system utilities, like ps(1), awk(1) and ksh(1). This means that the toolchain is ready for tests and improvements. I've iterated over the basesystem utilities and I looked for bugs, both in programs and in sanitizers. The number of detected bugs in the userland programs was low, there merely was one reading of an uninitialized variable in ps(1). A prebuilt LLVM toolchain I've prepared a prebuilt toolchain with Clang, LLVM, LLDB and compiler-rt for NetBSD/amd64. I prepared the toolchain on 8.99.12, however I have received reports that it works on other older releases. Link: llvm-clang-compilerrt-lldb-7.0.0beta_2018-01-24.tar.bz2 The archive has to be untarballed to /usr/local (however it might work to some extent in other paths). This toolchain contains a prebuilt tree of the LLVM projects from a snapshot of 7.0.0(svn). It is a pristine snapshot of HEAD with patches from pkgsrc-wip for llvm, clang, compiler-rt and lldb. Sanitizers Notable changes in sanitizers, all of them are in the context of NetBSD support. Added fstat(2) MSan interceptor. Support for kvm(3) interceptors in the common sanitizer code. Added devname(3) and devname_r(3) interceptors to the common sanitizer code. Added sysctl(3) familty of functions interceptors in the common sanitizer code. Added strlcpy(3)/strlcat(3) interceptors in the common sanitizer code. Added getgrouplist(3)/getgroupmembership(3) interceptors in the common sanitizer code. Correct ctype(3) interceptors in a code using Native Language Support. Correct tzset(3) interceptor in MSan. Correct localtime(3) interceptor in the common sanitizer code. Added paccept(2) interceptor to the common sanitizer code. Added access(2) and faccessat(2) interceptors to the common sanitizer code. Added acct(2) interceptor to the common sanitizer code. Added accept4(2) interceptor to the common sanitizer code. Added fgetln(3) interceptor to the common sanitizer code. Added interceptors for the pwcache(3)-style functions in the common sanitizer code. Added interceptors for the getprotoent(3)-style functions in the common sanitizer code. Added interceptors for the getnetent(3)-style functions in the common sanitizer code. Added interceptors for the fts(3)-style functions in the common sanitizer code. Added lstat(3) interceptor in MSan. Added strftime(3) interceptor in the common sanitizer code. Added strmode(3) interceptor in the common sanitizer code. Added interceptors for the regex(3)-style functions in the common sanitizer code. Disabled unwanted interceptor __sigsetjmp in TSan. Base system changes I've tidied up inclusion of the internal namespace.h header in libc. This has hidden the usage of public global symbol names of: strlcat -> _strlcat sysconf -> __sysconf closedir -> _closedir fparseln -> _fparseln kill -> _kill mkstemp -> _mkstemp reallocarr -> _reallocarr strcasecmp -> _strcasecmp strncasecmp -> _strncasecmp strptime -> _strptime strtok_r -> _strtok_r sysctl -> _sysctl dlopen -> __dlopen dlclose -> __dlclose dlsym -> __dlsym strlcpy -> _strlcpy fdopen -> _fdopen mmap -> _mmap strdup -> _strdup The purpose of these changes was to stop triggering interceptors recursively. Such interceptors lead to sanitization of internals of unprepared (not recompiled with sanitizers) prebuilt code. It's not trivial to sanitize libc's internals and the sanitizers are not designed to do so. This means that they are not a full replacement of Valgrind-like software, but a a supplement in the developer toolbox. Valgrind translates native code to a bytecode virtual machine, while sanitizers are designed to work with interceptors inside the pristine elementary libraries (libc, libm, librt, libpthread) and embed functionality into the executable's code. I've also reverted the vadvise(2) syscall removal, from the previous month. This caused a regression in legacy code recompiled against still supported compat layers. Newly compiled code will use a libc's stub of vadvise(2). I've also prepared a patch installing dedicated headers for sanitizers along with the base system GCC. It's still discussed and should land the sources soon. Future directions and goals Possible paths in random order: In the quartet of UBSan (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer), ASan (Address Sanitizer), TSan (Thread Sanitizer), MSan (Memory Sanitizer) we need to add the fifth basic sanitizer: LSan (Leak Sanitizer). The Leak Sanitizer (detector of memory leaks) demands a stable ptrace(2) interface for processes with multiple threads (unless we want to build a custom kernel interface). Integrate the sanitizers with the userland framework in order to ship with the native toolchain to users. Port sanitizers from LLVM to GCC. Allow to sanitize programs linked against userland libraries other than libc, librt, libm and libpthread; by a global option (like MKSANITIZER) producing a userland that is partially prebuilt with a desired sanitizer. This is required to run e.g. MSanitized programs against editline(3). So far, there is no Operating System distribution in existence with a native integration with sanitizers. There are 3rd party scripts for certain OSes to build a stack of software dependencies in order to validate a piece of software. Execute ATF tests with the userland rebuilt with supported flavors of sanitizers and catch regressions. Finish porting of modern linkers designed for large C++ software, such as GNU GOLD and LLVM LLD. Today the bottleneck with building the LLVM toolchain is a suboptimal linker GNU ld(1). I've decided to not open new battlefields and return now to porting LLDB and fixing ptrace(2). Plan for the next milestone Keep upstreaming a pile of local compiler-rt patches. Restore the LLDB support for traced programs with a single thread.

Not that it was Window's fault, but a piece of malware had infected my computer when I tried to download a long lost driver for an even longer lost RAID card for a server. A word of advice – the download you're looking for is never on an ad-infested forum in another language. In any case, I had been meaning to switch away from Windows soon. I didn't have my entire plan ready, but now was as good a time as any. My line of work requires me to maintain some form of Windows installation, so I decided to keep it in a VM rather than dual booting as I was developing code and not running any high-end visual stuff like games. My first thought was to install Arch or Gentoo Linux, but the last time I attempted a Gentoo installation it left me bootless. Not that there is anything wrong with Gentoo, it was probably my fault, but I like the idea of some sort of installer so I looked at rock-solid Debian. My dad had installed Debian on his sweet new cutting-edge Lenovo laptop he received recently from work. He often raves about his cool scripts and much more effective customized experience, but often complains about his hybrid GPU support as he has an Intel/Nvidia hybrid display adapter (he has finally resolved it and now boasts his 6 connected displays). I didn't want to install Windows again, but something didn't feel right about installing some flavour of Linux. Back at home I have a small collection of FreeBSD servers running in all sorts of jails and other physical hardware, with the exception of one Debian server which I had the hardest time dealing with (it would be FreeBSD too if 802.11ac support was there as it is acting as my WiFi/gateway/IDS/IPS). I loved my FreeBSD servers, and yes I will write posts about each one soon enough. I wanted that cleanliness and familiarity on my desktop as well (I really love the ports collection!). It's settled – I will run FreeBSD on my laptop. This also created a new rivalry with my father, which is not a bad thing either. Playing Devil's Advocate The first thing I needed to do was backup my Windows data. This was easy enough, just run a Windows Image Backup and it will- wait, what? Why isn't this working? I didn't want to fiddle with this too long because I didn't actually need an image just the data. I ended up just copying over the files to an external hard disk. Once that was done, I downloaded and verified the latest FreeBSD 11.1 RELEASE memstick image and flashed it to my trusty 8GB Verbatim USB stick. I've had this thing since 2007, it works great for being my re-writable “CD”. I booted it up and started the installation. I knew this installer pretty well as I had test-installed FreeBSD and OpenBSD in VMs when I was researching a Unix style replacement OS last year. In any case, I left most of the defaults (I didn't want to play with custom kernels right now) and I selected all packages. This downloaded them from the FreeBSD FTP server as I only had the memstick image. The installer finished and I was off to my first boot. Great! so far so good. FreeBSD loaded up and I did a ‘pkg upgrade' just to make sure that everything was up to date. Alright, time to get down to business. I needed nano. I just can't use vi, or just not yet. I don't care about being a vi-wizard, that's just too much effort for me. Anyway, just a ‘pkg install nano' and I had my editor. Next was obvious, I needed x11. XFCE was common, and there were plenty of tutorials out there. I wont bore you with those details, but it went something like ‘pkg install xfce' and I got all the dependencies. Don't forget to install SLiM to make it seamless. There are some configs in the .login I think. SLiM needs to be called once the boot drops you to the login so that you get SLiM's nice GUI login instead of the CLI login screen. Then SLiM passes you off to XFCE. I think I followed this and this. Awesome. Now that x11 is working, it's time to get all of my apps from Windows. Obviously, I can't get everything (ie. Visual Studio, Office). But in my Windows installation, I had chosen many open-source or cross-compiled apps as they either worked better or so that I was ready to move away from Windows at a moments notice. ‘pkg install firefox thunderbird hexchat pidgin gpa keepass owncloud-client transmission-qt5 veracrypt openvpn' were some immediate picks. There are a lot more that I downloaded later, but these are a few I use everyday. My laptop also has the same hybrid display adapter config that my dad's has, but I chose to only run Intel graphics, so dual screens are no problem for me. I'll add Nvidia support later, but it's not a priority. After I had imported my private keys and loaded my firefox and thunderbird settings, I wanted to get my Windows VM running right away as I was burning productive days at work fiddling with this. I had only two virtualisation options; qemu/kvm and bhyve. qemu/kvm wasn't available in pkg, and looked real dirty to compile, from FreeBSD's point of view. My dad is using qemu/kvm with virt-manager to manage all of his Windows/Unix VMs alike. I wanted that experience, but I also wanted packages that could be updated and I didn't want to mess up a compile. bhyve was a better choice. It was built-in, it was more compatible with Windows (from what I read), and this is a great step-by-step article for Windows 10 on FreeBSD 11 bhyve! I had already tried to get virt-manager to work with bhyve with no luck. I don't think libvirt connects with bhyve completely, or maybe my config is wrong. But I didn't have time to fiddle with it. I managed it all through command lines and that has worked perfectly so far. Well sorta, there was an issue installing SQL Server, and only SQL Server, on my Windows VM. This was due to a missing ‘sectorsize=512' setting on the disk parameter on the bhyve command line. That was only found after A LOT of digging because the SQL Server install didn't log the error properly. I eventually found out that SQL Server only likes one sector size of disks for the install and my virtual disk geometry was incorrect. Apps Apps Apps I installed Windows 10 on my bhyve VM and I got that all setup with the apps I needed for work. Mostly Office, Visual Studio, and vSphere for managing our server farm. Plus all of the annoying 3rd party VPN software (I'm looking at you Dell and Cisco). Alright, with the Windows VM done, I can now work at work and finish FreeBSD mostly during the nights. I still needed my remote files (I setup an ownCloud instance on a FreeNAS jail at home) so I setup the client. Now, normally on Windows I would come to work and connect to my home network using OpenVPN (again, I have a OpenVPN FreeNAS jail at home) and the ownCloud desktop would be able to handle changing DNS destination IPs Not on FreeBSD (and Linux too?). I ended up just configuring the ownCloud client to just connect to the home LAN IP for the ownCloud server and always connecting the OpenVPN to sync things. It kinda sucks, but at least it works. I left that running at home overnight to get a full sync (~130GB cloud sync, another reason I use it over Google or Microsoft). Once that was done I moved onto the fstab as I had another 1TB SSD in my laptop with other files. I messed around with fstab and my NFS shares to my FreeNAS at home, but took them out as they made the boot time so long when I wasn't at home. I would only mount them when my OpenVPN connected or manually. I really wanted to install SpaceFM, but it's only available as a package on Debian and their non-package install script doesn't work on FreeBSD (packages are named differently). I tried doing it manually, but it was too much work. As my dad was the one who introduced me to it, he still uses it as a use-case for his Debian setup. Instead I kept to the original PCManFM and it works just fine. I also loaded up my Bitcoin and Litecoin wallets and pointed them to the blockchain that I has used on Windows after their sync, they loaded perfectly and my balances were there. I kinda wish there was the Bitcoin-ABC full node Bitcoin Cash wallet package on FreeBSD, but I'm sure it will come out later. The rest is essentially just tweaks and making the environment more comfortable for me, and with most programs installed as packages I feel a lot better with upgrades and audit checking (‘pkg audit -F' is really helpful!). I will always hate Python, actually, I will always hate any app that has it's own package manager. I do miss the GUI GitHub tool on Windows. It was a really good-looking way to view all of my repos. The last thing (which is increasing it's priority every time I go to a social media site or YouTube) is fonts. My god I never thought it was such a problem, and UTF support is complicated. If anyone knows how to get all UTF characters to show up, please let me know. I'd really like Wikipedia articles to load perfectly (I followed this post and there are still some missing). There are some extra tweaks I followed here and here. Conclusion I successfully migrated from Windows 10 to FreeBSD 11.1 with minimal consequence. Shout out goes to the entire FreeBSD community. So many helpful people in there, and the forums are a great place to find tons of information. Also thanks to the ones who wrote the how-to articles I've referenced. I never would have gotten bhyve to work and I'd still probably be messing with my X config without them. I guess my take home from this is to not be afraid to make changes that may change how comfortable I am in an environment. I'm always open to comments and questions, please feel free to make them below. I purposefully didn't include too many technical things or commands in this article as I wanted to focus on the larger picture of the migration as a whole not the struggles of xorg.conf, but if you would like to see some of the configs or commands I used, let me know and I'll include some!

FreeBSD: The Unknown Giant (https://neomoevius.tumblr.com/post/171108458234/freebsd-the-unknown-giant) I decided to write this article as a gratitude for the recent fast answer of the FreeBSD/TrueOS community with my questions and doubts. I am impressed how fast and how they tried to help me about this operating system which I used in the past(2000-2007) but recently in 2017 I began to use it again. + A lot has changed in 10 years I was looking around the internet, trying to do some research about recent information about FreeBSD and other versions or an easy to use spins like PCBSD (now TrueOS) I used to be Windows/Mac user for so many years until 2014 when I decided to use Linux as my desktop OS just because I wanted to use something different. I always wanted to use unix or a unix-like operating system, nowadays my main objective is to learn more about these operating systems (Debian Linux, TrueOS or FreeBSD). FreeBSD has similarities with Linux, with two major differences in scope and licensing: FreeBSD maintains a complete operating system, i.e. the project delivers kernel, device drivers, userland utilities and documentation, as opposed to Linux delivering a kernel and drivers only and relying on third-parties for system software; and FreeBSD source code is generally released under a permissive BSD license as opposed to the copyleft GPL used by Linux.“ But why do I call FreeBSD “The Unknown Giant”?, because the code base of this operating system has been used by other companies to develop their own operating system for products like computers or also game consoles. + FreeBSD is used for storage appliances, firewalls, email scanners, network scanners, network security appliances, load balancers, video servers, and more So many people now will learn that not only “linux is everywhere” but also that “FreeBSD is everywhere too” By the way speaking about movies, Do you remember the movie “The Matrix”? FreeBSD was used to make the movie: “The photo-realistic surroundings generated by this method were incorporated into the bullet time scene, and linear interpolation filled in any gaps of the still images to produce a fluent dynamic motion; the computer-generated “lead in” and “lead out” slides were filled in between frames in sequence to get an illusion of orbiting the scene. Manex Visual Effects used a cluster farm running the Unix-like operating system FreeBSD to render many of the film's visual effects” + FreeBSD Press Release re: The Matrix (https://www.freebsd.org/news/press-rel-1.html) I hope that I gave a good reference, information and now so many people can understand why I am going to use just Debian Linux and FreeBSD(TrueOS) to do so many different stuff (music, 3d animation, video editing and text editing) instead use a Mac or Windows. + FreeBSD really is the unknown giant. OpenBSD and FreeDOS vs the hell in earth (https://steemit.com/openbsd/@npna/openbsd-and-freedos-vs-the-hell-in-earth) Yes sir, yes. Our family, composed until now by OpenBSD, Alpine Linux and Docker is rapidly growing. And yes, sir. Yes. All together we're fighting against your best friends, the infamous, the ugliest, the worst...the dudes called the privacy cannibals. Do you know what i mean, sure? We're working hard, no matter what time is it, no matter in what part in the world we are, no matter if we've no money. We perfectly know that you cannot do nothing against the true. And we're doing our best to expand our true, our doors are opened to all the good guys, there's a lot here but their brain was fucked by your shit tv, your fake news, your laws, etc etc etc. We're alive, we're here to fight against you. Tonight, yes it's a Friday night and we're working, we're ready to welcome with open arms an old guy, his experience will give us more power. Welcome to: FreeDOS But why we want to build a bootable usb stick with FreeDOS under our strong OpenBSD? The answer is as usual to fight against the privacy cannibals! More than one decade ago the old BIOS was silently replaced by the more capable and advanced UEFI, this is absolutely normal because of the pass of the years and exponencial grow of the power of our personal computers. UEFI is a complex system, it's like a standalone system operative with direct access to every component of our (yes, it's our not your!) machine. But...wait a moment...do you know how to use it? Do you ever know that it exist? And one more thing, it's secure? The answer to this question is totally insane, no, it's not secure. The idea is good, the company that started in theory is one of the most important in IT, it's Intel. The history is very large and obviously we're going to go very deep in it, but trust me UEFI and the various friend of him, like ME, TPM are insecure and closed source! Like the hell in earth. A FreeDOS bootable usb image under OpenBSD But let's start preparing our OpenBSD to put order in this chaos: $ mkdir -p freedos/stuff $ cd freedos/stuff $ wget https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdboot.img $ wget https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/sys/sys-freedos-linux/sys-freedos-linux.zip $ wget https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/desktop/o35jy19usa_y900.exe $ wget http://145.130.102.57/domoticx/software/amiflasher/AFUDOS%20Flasher%205.05.04.7z Explanation in clear language as usual: create two directory, download the minimal boot disc image of FreeDOS, download Syslinux assembler MBR bootloaders, download the last Windows only UEFI update from Lenovo and download the relative unknown utility from AMI to flash our motherboard UEFI chipset. Go ahead: $ doas pkg_add -U nasm unzip dosfstools cabextract p7zip nasm the Netwide Assembler, a portable 80x86 assembler. unzip list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP archive. dosfstoolsa collections of utilities to manipulate MS-DOSfs. cabextract program to extract files from cabinet. p7zipcollection of utilities to manipulate 7zip archives. $ mkdir sys-freedos-linux && cd sys-freedos-linux $ unzip ../sys-freedos-linux.zip $ cd ~/freedos && mkdir old new $ dd if=/dev/null of=freedos.img bs=1024 seek=20480 $ mkfs.fat freedos.img Create another working directory, cd into it, unzip the archive that we've downloaded, return to the working root and create another twos directories. dd is one of the most important utilities in the unix world to manipulate at byte level input and output: The dd utility copies the standard input to the standard output, applying any specified conversions. Input data is read and written in 512-byte blocks. If input reads are short, input from multiple reads are aggregated to form the output block. When finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and output blocks and truncated input records to the standard error output. We're creating here a virtual disk with bs=1024 we're setting both input and output block to 1024bytes; with seek=20480 we require 20480bytes. This is the result: -rw-r--r-- 1 taglio taglio 20971520 Feb 3 00:11 freedos.img. Next we format the virtual disk using the MS-DOS filesystem. Go ahead: $ doas su $ perl stuff/sys-freedos-linux/sys-freedos.pl --disk=freedos.img $ vnconfig vnd0 stuff/fdboot.img $ vnconfig vnd1 freedos.img $ mount -t msdos /dev/vnd0c old/ $ mount -t msdos /dev/vnd1c new/ We use the perl utility from syslinux to write the MBR of our virtual disk freedos.img. Next we create to loop virtual node using the OpenBSD utility vnconfig. Take care here because it is quite different from Linux, but as usual is clear and simple. The virtual nodes are associated to the downloaded fdboot.img and the newly created freedos.img. Next we mount the two virtual nodes cpartitions; in OpenBSD cpartition describes the entire physical disk. Quite different from Linux, take care. $ cp -R old/* new/ $ cd stuff $ mkdir o35jy19usa $ cabextract -d o35jy19usa o35jy19usa_y900.exe $ doas su $ cp o35jy19usa/ ../new/ $ mkdir afudos && cd afudos $ 7z e ../AFUDOS* $ doas su $ cp AFUDOS.exe ../../new/ $ umount ~/freedos/old/ && umount ~/freedos/new/ $ vnconfig -u vnd1 && vnconfig -u vnd0 Copy all files and directories in the new virtual node partition, extract the Lenovo cabinet in a new directory, copy the result in our new image, extract the afudos utility and like the others copy it. Umount the partitions and destroy the loop vnode.

This week on the show, we've got some new info on the talks from EuroBSDCon, a look at sharing a single ZFS pool between Linux and BSD, Sandboxing and much more! Stay tuned for your place to B...SD! This episode was brought to you by Headlines EuroBSDcon 2016 Presentation Slides (https://2016.eurobsdcon.org/PresentationSlides/) Due to circumstances beyond the control of the organizers of EuroBSDCon, there were not recordings of the talks given at the event. However, they have collected the slide decks from each of the speakers and assembled them on this page for you Also, we have some stuff from MeetBSD already: Youtube Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb87fdKUIo8TAMC2HJLZ7H54edD2BeGWv) Not all of the sessions are posted yet, but the rest should appear shortly MeetBSD 2016 Trip Report: Domagoj Stolfa (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/meetbsd-2016-trip-report-domagoj-stolfa/) *** Cohabiting FreeBSD and Gentoo Linux on a Common ZFS Volume (https://ericmccorkleblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/15/cohabiting-freebsd-and-gentoo-linux-on-a-common-zfs-volume/) Eric McCorkle, who has contributed ZFS support to the FreeBSD EFI boot-loader code has posted an in-depth look at how he's setup dual-boot with FreeBSD and Gentoo on the same ZFS volume. He starts by giving us some background on how the layout is done. First up, GRUB is used as the boot-loader, allowing boot of both Linux and BSD The next non-typical thing was using /etc/fstab to manage mount-points, instead of the typical ‘zfs mount' usage, (apart from /home datasets) data/home is mounted to /home, with all of its child datasets using the ZFS mountpoint system data/freebsd and its child datasets house the FreeBSD system, and all have their mountpoints set to legacy data/gentoo and its child datasets house the Gentoo system, and have their mountpoints set to legacy as well So, how did he set this up? He helpfully provides an overview of the steps: Use the FreeBSD installer to create the GPT and ZFS pool Install and configure FreeBSD, with the native FreeBSD boot loader Boot into FreeBSD, create the Gentoo Linux datasets, install GRUB Boot into the Gentoo Linux installer, install Gentoo Boot into Gentoo, finish any configuration tasks The rest of the article walks us through the individual commands that make up each of those steps, as well as how to craft a GRUB config file capable of booting both systems. Personally, since we are using EFI, I would have installed rEFInd, and chain-loaded each systems EFI boot code from there, allowing the use of the BSD loader, but to each their own! HardenedBSD introduces Safestack into base (https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2016-11-27/introducing-safestack) HardenedBSD has integrated SafeStack into its base system and ports tree SafeStack (http://clang.llvm.org/docs/SafeStack.html) is part of the Code Pointer Integrity (CPI) project within clang. “SafeStack is an instrumentation pass that protects programs against attacks based on stack buffer overflows, without introducing any measurable performance overhead. It works by separating the program stack into two distinct regions: the safe stack and the unsafe stack. The safe stack stores return addresses, register spills, and local variables that are always accessed in a safe way, while the unsafe stack stores everything else. This separation ensures that buffer overflows on the unsafe stack cannot be used to overwrite anything on the safe stack.” “As of 28 November 2016, with clang 3.9.0, SafeStack only supports being applied to applications and not shared libraries. Multiple patches have been submitted to clang by third parties to add support for shared libraries.” SafeStack is only enabled on AMD64 *** pledge(2)… or, how I learned to love web application sandboxing (https://learnbchs.org/pledge.html) We've talked about OpenBSD's sandboxing mechanism pledge() in the past, but today we have a great article by Kristaps Dzonsons, about how he grew to love it for Web Sandboxing. +First up, he gives us his opening argument that should make most of you sit up and listen: I use application-level sandboxing a lot because I make mistakes a lot; and when writing web applications, the price of making mistakes is very dear. In the early 2000s, that meant using systrace(4) on OpenBSD and NetBSD. Then it was seccomp(2) (followed by libseccomp(3)) on Linux. Then there was capsicum(4) on FreeBSD and sandbox_init(3) on Mac OS X. All of these systems are invoked differently; and for the most part, whenever it came time to interface with one of them, I longed for sweet release from the nightmare. Please, try reading seccomp(2). To the end. Aligning web application logic and security policy would require an arduous (and usually trial-and-error or worse, copy-and-paste) process. If there was any process at all — if the burden of writing a policy didn't cause me to abandon sandboxing at the start. And then there was pledge(2). This document is about pledge(2) and why you should use it and love it. “ +Not convinced yet? Maybe you should take his challenge: Let's play a drinking game. The challenge is to stay out of the hospital. 1.Navigate to seccomp(2). 2. Read it to the end. 3. Drink every time you don't understand. For capsicum(4), the challenge is no less difficult. To see these in action, navigate no further than OpenSSH, which interfaces with these sandboxes: sandbox-seccomp-filter.c or sandbox-capsicum.c. (For a history lesson, you can even see sandbox-systrace.c.) Keep in mind that these do little more than restrict resources to open descriptors and the usual necessities of memory, signals, timing, etc. Keep that in mind and be horrified. “ Now Kristaps has his theory on why these are so difficult (NS..), but perhaps there is a better way. He makes the case that pledge() sits right in that sweet-spot, being powerful enough to be useful, but easy enough to implement that developers might actually use it. All in all, a nice read, check it out! Would love to hear other developer success stories using pledge() as well. *** News Roundup Unix history repository, now on GitHub (http://www.osnews.com/story/29513/Unix_history_repository_now_on_GitHub) OS News has an interesting tidbit on their site today, about the entire commit history of Unix now being available online, starting all the way back in 1970 and bringing us forward to today. From the README The history and evolution of the Unix operating system is made available as a revision management repository, covering the period from its inception in 1970 as a 2.5 thousand line kernel and 26 commands, to 2016 as a widely-used 27 million line system. The 1.1GB repository contains about half a million commits and more than two thousand merges. The repository employs Git system for its storage and is hosted on GitHub. It has been created by synthesizing with custom software 24 snapshots of systems developed at Bell Labs, the University of California at Berkeley, and the 386BSD team, two legacy repositories, and the modern repository of the open source FreeBSD system. In total, about one thousand individual contributors are identified, the early ones through primary research. The data set can be used for empirical research in software engineering, information systems, and software archaeology. This is a fascinating find, especially will be of value to students and historians who wish to look back in time to see how UNIX evolved, and in this repo ultimately turned into modern FreeBSD. *** Yandex commits improvements to FreeBSD network stack (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8526) “Rework ip_tryforward() to use FIB4 KPI.” This commit brings some code from the experimental routing branch into head As you can see from the graphs, it offers some sizable improvements in forwarding and firewalled packets per second commit (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=309257) *** The brief history of Unix socket multiplexing – select(2) system call (https://idea.popcount.org/2016-11-01-a-brief-history-of-select2/) Ever wondered about the details of socket multiplexing, aka the history of select(2)? Well Marek today gives a treat, with a quick look back at the history that made today's modern multiplexing possible. First, his article starts the way all good ones do, presenting the problem in silent-movie form: In mid-1960's time sharing was still a recent invention. Compared to a previous paradigm - batch-processing - time sharing was truly revolutionary. It greatly reduced the time wasted between writing a program and getting its result. Batch-processing meant hours and hours of waiting often to only see a program error. See this film to better understand the problems of 1960's programmers: "The trials and tribulations of batch processing". Enter the wild world of the 1970's, and we've now reached the birth of UNIX which tried to solve the batch processing problem with time-sharing. These days when a program was executed, it could "stall" (block) only on a couple of things1: + wait for CPU + wait for disk I/O + wait for user input (waiting for a shell command) or console (printing data too fast)“ Jump forward another dozen years or so, and the world changes yet again: This all changed in 1983 with the release of 4.2BSD. This revision introduced an early implementation of a TCP/IP stack and most importantly - the BSD Sockets API.Although today we take the BSD sockets API for granted, it wasn't obvious it was the right API. STREAMS were a competing API design on System V Revision 3. Coming in along with the sockets API was the select(2) call, which our very own Kirk McKusick gives us some background on: Select was introduced to allow applications to multiplex their I/O. Consider a simple application like a remote login. It has descriptors for reading from and writing to the terminal and a descriptor for the (bidirectional) socket. It needs to read from the terminal keyboard and write those characters to the socket. It also needs to read from the socket and write to the terminal. Reading from a descriptor that has nothing queued causes the application to block until data arrives. The application does not know whether to read from the terminal or the socket and if it guesses wrong will incorrectly block. So select was added to let it find out which descriptor had data ready to read. If neither, select blocks until data arrives on one descriptor and then awakens telling which descriptor has data to read. [...] Non-blocking was added at the same time as select. But using non-blocking when reading descriptors does not work well. Do you go into an infinite loop trying to read each of your input descriptors? If not, do you pause after each pass and if so for how long to remain responsive to input? Select is just far more efficient. Select also lets you create a single inetd daemon rather than having to have a separate daemon for every service. The article then wraps up with an interesting conclusion: > CSP = Communicating sequential processes In this discussion I was afraid to phrase the core question. Were Unix processes intended to be CSP-style processes? Are file descriptors a CSP-derived "channels"? Is select equivalent to ALT statement? I think: no. Even if there are design similarities, they are accidental. The file-descriptor abstractions were developed well before the original CSP paper. It seems that an operating socket API's evolved totally disconnected from the userspace CSP-alike programming paradigms. It's a pity though. It would be interesting to see an operating system coherent with the programming paradigms of the user land programs. A long (but good) read, and worth your time if you are interested in the history how modern multiplexing came to be. *** How to start CLion on FreeBSD? (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206525024-How-to-start-CLion-on-FreeBSD) CLion (pronounced "sea lion") is a cross-platform C and C++ IDE By default, the Linux version comes bundled with some binaries, which obviously won't work with the native FreeBSD build Rather than using Linux emulation, you can replace these components with native versions pkg install openjdk8 cmake gdb Edit clion-2016.3/bin/idea.properties and change run.processes.with.pty=false Start CLion and open Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains Specify CMake path: /usr/local/bin/cmake and GDB path: /usr/local/bin/gdb Without a replacement for fsnotifier, you will get a warning that the IDE may be slow to detect changes to files on disk But, someone has already written a version of fsnotifier that works on FreeBSD and OpenBSD fsnotifier for OpenBSD and FreeBSD (https://github.com/idea4bsd/fsnotifier) -- The fsnotifier is used by IntelliJ for detecting file changes. This version supports FreeBSD and OpenBSD via libinotify and is a replacement for the bundled Linux-only version coming with the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. *** Beastie Bits TrueOS Pico – FreeBSD ARM/RPi Thin Clients (https://www.trueos.org/trueos-pico/) A Puppet package provider for FreeBSD's PkgNG package manager.

In this episode Kenneth turns the table on Kevin and chats about a recent successful migration between clouds and architectures. Kevin and his team at Platform45 recently migrated a well established application (www.resourceguruapp.com) from AWS and EngineYard to Google Container Engine. This was a non-trivial migration from a managed platform and a collection of third-party services to a containerised deployment with minimal external dependencies. We talked about the challenges they faced (turned out to be not too many), the new stack they're building on and how Google Container Engine works. We dive deeply into the various components offered by Google's Kubernetes project, the open source technology that powers Google Container Engine, and how Kevin leverages them to take control of his environment. Technology aside, this does highlight the fact that it is possible to move between cloud providers. The team retooled their deployments to take advantage of Kubernetes' rolling deployments, they migrated their state from AWS to Google Cloud, communicated clearly with their customers and handled one unexpected event gracefully. In this age of containerised deployments this could potentially become the norm, whether you move between your own data centers, or between clouds.

Which is totally awesome.  Finishing up was an edited version of Mad by Mikey Mason, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some electronic music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring funny music, all of which has lyrics.Quantum Entanglement (2:36) - The FuMP - BandCampAA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife (3:33)Love and Romance Game (3:03) - Jamendo - Internet ArchiveYou Might Be (4:29)It's F***ing Cold Outside (edited) (1:29)That was Quantum Entanglement by Glen Raphael, which is available from The Funny Music Project or his BandCamp website.  While you're at it check out some of his other songs on his BandCamp site - he's got some really hilarious stuff on there.  After that was AA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife by Look Left, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  Then we had Love and Romance Game by Mind Cabaret, which used to be available from Jamendo but is now available at The Internet Archive.  Next up was You Might Be by Insane Ian, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  Finishing up was a maybe just a wee bit censored version of It's F***ing Cold Outside by Fortress of Attitude, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.As of right now, when I'm putting this episode together, that song's currently hilariously relatable, however from the weather it's looking like by the time this airs it'll be a bit warmer.  Regardless, I don't normally like to play songs that I have to heavily censor, but that song was such a humdinger I figured it was worth censoring anyway.  I try to keep this podcast pretty much squeaky clean.  Hope you enjoyed it.Kittens for Sale (2:45)Firm Thighs (2:08)Sprinkles On My Donut (4:30)Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) (edited) (4:43)I Love Doritos (2:05)That was Kittens for Sale by TV's Kyle, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  After that was Firm Thighs by Fuzzy Logic, which is available from Jamendo. Then we had Sprinkles On My Donut by Art Paul Schlosser, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow.  And, yeah, pretty much all of his songs are like that.  Next up was a somewhat edited version of Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) by Devo Spice, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  And finishing up was I Love Doritos by Todd Chappelle, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow.  All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.Today's app-of-the-day is Mozilla Thunderbird, an e-mail client program.  It has functionality for checking, organizing, and sending e-mail from multiple providers and has a ton of plugins available which allow you to add even more functionality to it.  One plugin in particular I like is called Lightning, which adds calendar functionality.  It's very easy to use, easy to install, and is free and open source.  It's available for Linux, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today from mozilla.org/thunderbirdNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.  And as a heads-up, the first song in the next set is a really hard to locate joke that, if you get it, is hilarious, but if you miss or otherwise can't understand the first couple words it won't make any sense.  The joke is explained afterward, but keep your ears peeled.The FuMPLorem Ipsum (4:33)Free Water (edited) (4:21)Best Game Ever (edited) (4:31)T.F.O.S. (2:35)The New Me (edited) (3:30)That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Lorem Ipsum by kerrymarsh, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Those of you with design experience may have recognized that they were singing filler text called Lorem Ipsum.  Anyway, then we had a slightly edited version of Free Water by Redbox and the Chilipeppers, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Now, you'd think this'd be common sense, but based on conversations with some people, please don't do that.  Someone has to pay for your utility usage, be it water, gas, electricity, or otherwise and if it's not you it's just going to be made up for in your costs somewhere else eventually. Rant aside, next up was a slightly edited version of Best Game Ever by Mikey Mason, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was T.F.O.S. by Eoghnved Mmrkuudnen, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  And finishing up was an edited version of The New Me by Dino-Mike, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some steampunk music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring instrumental acoustic music.Buckarooster (2:58)A la Roberto, tema II (Quien fuera) (1:27)Lessons Instrumental (2:41)Joe's Acoustic (3:31)Thursday (2:28)5:4 (1:15)That was Buckarooster by Doug Jamieson, and A la Roberto, tema II (Quien fuera) by clbustos, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Lessons Instrumental by Mission8, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Joe's Acoustic, which was available from SoundCloud but has since been removed, and was licensed under an Attribution license as of November 25, 2012.  Next up was Thursday by Andrew Aycoth and finishing up was 5:4 by shkadarns, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.I love alternative time signatures like 5:4.  I once tried putting together an episode of all songs in alternative time signatures, but they're a little hard to find since most people don't choose titles for songs based on their time signature.  I've had the same problem with finding songs which use a particular instrument.  So, on that note, if you know of any good open licensed 5:4 or 7:8 songs or anything like that, please let me know.I40 - INTERSTATE (4:52)Learn to Fly (Instrumental Version) (3:24)East Side Bar (Instrumental) (3:15)Five Seconds (instrumental) (2:39)Spanish-ish (3:01)Major12 (2:45)Not A Thing To Be Grasped (1:17)That was I40 - INTERSTATE by Bane Djakovic, which is available from Jamendo.  After that was Learn to Fly (Instrumental Version) followed by East Side Bar (Instrumental), both by Josh Woodward (Instrumental Versions) and available from Jamendo.  Next up was Five Seconds (instrumental) by The Background Clown, Spanish-ish and Major12 by (c) Jun Sugiyama 2012, and finishing up was Not A Thing To Be Grasped by JohnStuart, which are available from SoundCloud.  All seven songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is vim.  It's a command-line text editor, and it runs pretty well everywhere, including on my phone.  It has a relatively easy-to-learn basic command set with a ton of more powerful commands and the ability to install all kinds of plugins.  It's available for Linux, BSD, AmigaOS, OS/2, Android, iOS, Windows CE, MorphOS, MacOS Classic, DOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and many more.  Download it today at vim.orgNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.Around the World in 80 DaysSereno(Acústico) (3:24)Death On The Wind (4:17)4am (3:24)Serenite (5:10)To gather around (3:19)Let Me Be Your Cure (3:49)That was Sereno(Acústico) by clbustos, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Death On The Wind by Pattanga, and 4am by Bowl Of Ice Cream, which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Serenite by Oursvince, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Next up was To gather around by michele cigna, and finishing up was Let Me By Your Cure by Pattanga, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some funny music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring chiptunes.Skyball (3:17)BossaNova (1:17)Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] (3:22)Asymmetrical Mode; ON (1:54)Itty Bitty 8 Bit (3:13)Spiff Tune - And so it Begins (2:53)Dstort (3:31)Colored Pixels (3:34)That was Skyball by DJ Bouche, BossaNova by 8-BITchin'tendo, Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] by ipidev, and Asymmetrical Mode; ON by Claudia Andrea Hermosilla, all four of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Itty Bitty 8 Bit by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Spiff Tune - And so it Begins by Spiff Tune, which used to be available from SoundCloud but has since been removed and was licensed under an Attribution license as of February 1, 2013.  Next up was Dstort by ChrisLody, and finishing up was Colored Pixels by 8-BITchin'tendo, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.This week's another Attribution week, so feel free to reuse this music.  Or, for that matter, the parts where I'm talking if you somehow found a good use for it.  The Attribution license is a wonderful thing.On that note, since this podcast is all audio, I should mention a few resources for Attribution-licensed visual media:- First, the photo sharing website Flickr.  If you use their Advanced Search function, you can limit your searches to only those which are licensed as Attribution or possibly Attribution Share-Alike.  They have some excellent photos on there as well as lots of stuff you can use as pieces of things.- DeviantArt is also very good.  They don't provide a nice Creative Commons search feature like Flickr, but they do offer Creative Commons licensing choices for works uploaded to their system and there are a few groups dedicated to building collections of CC-licensed works.  One such group is Creative-Commons which also has instructions for how to use a search engine to find Creative Commons works on DeviantArt under particular search terms.  Bit of a hack, but there is some very nice artwork on DeviantArt which doesn't quite fit on Flickr, though not as much is under pure Attribution licenses.- OpenGameArt is another one.  I've mentioned them before and I'll mention them again.  They have 3D models, tile sets, sprite sheets, music, textures, sound effects, and much of it under very permissive licenses.  With the resources on OpenGameArt, you could truly build a game without having to create any of the artwork from scratch.And, with that, it's high time we get back to music.Darker Waves (1:55)Deathmatch Psycho (2:37)Usual Day (3:01)JRPG_fields_loop (2:01)Some Dealings With The Office Of Magic (3:24)Pure NES (1:03)Strawberry Tea (1:45)Yerzmyey - Ai (4:21)Vectorverse Tier 2 (4:14)Blow into the cartridge! (0:20)That was Darker Waves by Zander Noriega, which is available from OpenGameArt.  After that was Deathmatch Psycho by Andrey Avkhimovich, which is available from Jamendo.  Then we had Usual Day [NSF (Classical)][FCM10] by ipidev, which is available from SoundCloud.  Next up was JRPG_fields_loop from the JRPG Collection by Yubatake, which is available from OpenGameArt.  After that was Some Dealings With The Office Of Magic by elmusho, Pure NES by Sam Shideler, Strawberry Tea by Tenlki, Yerzmyey - Ai by YERZMYEY, Vectorverse Tier 2 by Nicholas Shooter, and finishing up was Blow into the cartridge! by Nicholas Shooter, all six of which are available from SoundCloud.  All ten songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is Audacity.  Audacity is a fairly full-featured open-source audio editing and effects program.  It's what I used to record my voice and edit this podcast together.  One of the features I like about it most is its noise cancelling functionality, which I've been able to successfully use to remove noise even in situations where the noise was about as loud as the signal, and even when commercial solutions have fallen flat.  It's cross-platform as well, so whether you're running Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, or I think BSD, you can still use it.  Download it today at audacity.sourceforge.netNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.LibrivoxWrong Kind Of Tea (1:59)Mean Streets (3:00)Kamaria's OP (1:38)JRPG_town_loop (2:14)Yerzmyey - Proof of concept (2:36)Khone - Sirius (1:31)That was Wrong Kind Of Tea by elmusho, Mean Streets by Firage, and Kamaria's OP by Patashu, all three of which are available from SoundCloud.  After that was JRPG_town_loop from the JRPG Collection by Yubatake, which is available from OpenGameArt.  Then we had Yerzmyey - Proof of concept by YERZMYEY, and finishing up was Khone - Sirius by Khone, both of which are available from SoundCloud.  All six songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some instrumental acoustic music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring pirate music and other stuff that's not necessarily pirate music but I think goes well with it.  Some of the music this week does have lyrics.Into Aer Cumri (3:28)Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:15)Parisian (0:43)Talijanska (1:56)Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:39)Poirot (2:38)That was Into Aer Cumri by Mattias Westlund, which was formerly available from Jamendo and is now available from The Internet Archive, which is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Parisian by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Talijanska by Balkan Balagan, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Poirot by Michael Lambright, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.MusOpen's back on KickStarter again with a new project to record more classical music to release as public domain.  Most of the classical music out there is public domain due to how old it is, but that's the music itself.  Recordings of said classical music are generally newer and are covered by copyright, preventing them from being reused without explicit licensing.  Musopen's goal is to change that.  Their previous KickStarter campaign successfully allowed them to record a bunch of well-known music which they released to The Internet Archive as public domain.  Now their goal is to record the complete works of Chopin, and as of the time of this episode they have almost reached their goal already.  To take a look and help out, please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/set-chopin-freeVolant (7:25)Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg (edited) (6:14)Miri's Magic Dance (1:36)Amari Szi (4:37)That was Volant by La Troba Kung-Fu and an edited version of Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg by MetroFolk, both of which are available from Free Music Archive and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Miri's Magic Dance by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Amari Szi by The Underscore Orkestra, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.Today's app-of-the-day is Synergy.  Synergy is a neat little system to let you use one keyboard and mouse to run multiple computers.  So, for example, in my normal computer setup I have my desktop running Xubuntu Linux with its two monitors set up with the keyboard and mouse, and I have Synergy set up on my Gentoo Linux laptop so the cursor and keyboard smoothly move right over to it without having to plug in or unplug anything.  Basically when my mouse hits the edge of the desktop's screen, it pops over onto the laptop's.  And the great thing is that the computers involved don't have to run the same operating system.  They have downloads for Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and iOS for iPad and iPhone devices, though I have little doubt there's a port available for BSD, OpenIndiana, etc.  It's available from synergy-foss.org and is very simple to set up.Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.Treasure IslandFrench Blues (2:55)Sailor's Saturday Night B-dur (3:38)The Battle of Gavelburg (4:18)Black Flag Flying (edited) (3:47)That was French Blues by The Joy Drops, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Sailor's Saturday Night B-dur by HEINZ ALMSTEDT, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had The Battle of Gavelburg by Mattias Westlund, formerly available from Jamendo and now available from The Internet Archive, which is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was a slightly edited version of Black Flag Flying by davidrovics, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember -

Just a quick note, because I've had a few people request this.  This is not a full list, but here are a few of the places I commonly get music from:ccMixterFreeMusicArchiveFreeSoundIncompetechJamendoOpenGameArtSoundCloudThe Funny Music ProjectZero-ProjectYou can also find this information in the sidebar of the website.- RalphHi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring electronic music.Luceds - Going Steampunk (3:20)Adibudi - Special sounds for special girl (Final version) (3:04)Edge (2:52)Melodia F (1:20)That was Luceds - Going Steampunk by Luceds, which was available from SoundCloud.  After that was Adibudi - Special sounds for special girl (Final version) by Adibudi, which is available from Jamendo.  Then we had Edge by Mystery Mammal and finishing up was Melodia F by BrunoXe, which are both available from SoundCloud.  All four of the songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.There seems to be a lot of confusion about which license to choose when publishing something that you want to open license.  Now, right upfront, I'm going to say that I'm not an attorney and this is not to be construed as legal advice.  However, wonder no more, because there are a number of good guides out there.  If your work is of a creative nature, the Creative Commons licenses are very popular and easy to choose from.  Just visit http://creativecommons.org/choose/ to get started.  They'll let you choose the terms and conditions under which you want to license your work.  And that popularity thing I mentioned earlier?  That's one of the big advantages of Creative Commons licenses.  Not all licenses can legally have their stuff combined together.  Many licenses explicitly state which other licenses they can be combined with.  Well, because the Creative Commons licenses are so easy to use and so popular, there's a whole ecosystem of compatible-licensed stuff that, by licensing your work under a Creative Commons license, other people can combine your work with to build more cool stuff.That said, the Creative Commons licenses are generally not recommended for computer programs, with the exception of the CC0 license which is just plain awesome anyway, because there are other licenses which are generally better-suited to licensing code.  For a generally easy-to-read guide to available source code licenses, check out the Free Software Foundation's license guide at https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html which has a very large list of licenses, the terms they cover, how they can be combined, etc.  Personally I'm a big fan of CC0 and the zlib license, but there are a whole bunch of other very good licenses on there for different purposes.Anyway, it's about time I quit yakking and get back to music.Copycat (Sunrise Mix) (ft. Fredrik Wasberger, Shannon Hurley) (5:29)Breathless (ft. Jen Someone) (4:05)Nightmare Night Showdown (5:51)Electronic Engineering (3:15)That was Copycat (Sunrise Mix) (ft.

Jen Someone), both by Ic3m4n, available from ccMixter, and licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Nightmare Night Showdown by Sonikkureinbumu, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Finishing up was Electronic Engineering by Katharine Priegues, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is PuTTY, a cross-platform terminal, telnet, and SSH client.  It gives you the ability to open terminal windows to many different types of command-line terminal servers, encrypted and not, network and serial.  If you've been in IT for very much time, you've probably used this program at one point in time or another, and if you haven't yet, you probably will.  What surprised me is that it's also available for platforms other than Microsoft Windows now.  I'm used to using command-line ssh from Linux, but apparently now PuTTY is available for Linux, BSD, Symbian, Classic Mac OS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Windows Mobile.  It's available for download at www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puttyNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.The FuMPSummer Night (3:13)He Is The Pirate Lord (2:58)Barbershop (5:16)IFIF - Dark Carnival (4:54)Dj Goubz - Synth 3 (4:00)the last sunset(versione dance) (3:41)That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from thefump.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Summer Night by Eclectic Electronic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had He Is The Pirate Lord by Eilios, which was available from SoundCloud and was licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Barbershop by Rataxes, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was IFIF - Dark Carnival by IFIF, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Dj Goubz - Synth 3 by Dj Goubz, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Hi folks!Sorry for the lack of updates.  Life happened, and it took me a while to catch up.  For now, the schedule for this podcast is being changed from once a week (followed by nothing for months...) to once a whenever.  At least until I get more of a buffer built back up.  Anyway, happy listening!- RalphHi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring pop and rock.  Much of the music this week has vocals, so with that out of the way, let's get started.Released.cc - Overture Cello Hardcore (3:16)Mississippi ( The Phoenix Mix ) (5:46)Doing Eurodisco (Overboard) (ft.

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring celtic music, probably about half of which has lyrics, but much of which is very traditional songs.  It's also a bit of a mix of old and new and not limited to Irish music.  So let's get started!Whisky in the jar (2:43)Reels: Tom Ward's Downfall / Sligo Maid / Mountain Road (4:17)Up Kilkenny (Instrumental Version) (2:52)Drink It Up (2:07)Whisky You're the Devil (2:48)The king of the fairies/the mermaid (2:33)Achaidh Cheide (2:16)That was Whisky in the jar by Brigan, which is available from Jamendo.  After that was Reels: Tom Ward's Downfall / Sligo Maid / Mountain Road by Lon Dubh, which is available from SoundCloud.  You actually see that style of playing celtic music quite frequently - traditional celtic songs tend to be a bit on the short side, so by stringing a mix of them back-to-back, you can put together kind of a nice mix.  They end up being a bit like building blocks.  All of those songs are considered a type of song called a "reel", so they all match and go together well.  Anyway, then we had Up Kilkenny (Instrumental Version) by Josh Woodward (Instrumental Versions), which is available from Jamendo.  Next up were Drink It Up and Whisky You're the Devil by 3 Sheets To The Wind, which are both available from SoundCloud.  After that was The king of the fairies/the mermaid by Brigan, which is available from Jamendo.  Finishing up was Achaidh Cheide by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  All seven songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.Long Road Ahead (2:29)Jigger (Traditional goes Rock) (2:09)Star of the County Down (5:11)Irish (1:20)04 Carousel 2 (4:03)Folk Round (3:06)That was Long Road Ahead by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Jigger (Traditional goes Rock) by vvsmusic and Star of the County Down by Marijanh, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had Irish by Alas Media and 04 Carousel 2 by Neilhammond, which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Folk Round by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is Marble, a cross-platform globe viewing program which up until recently I'd never heard of.  It's similar to another very popular earth viewing program.  It has some nifty features like selectable map graphics for showing satellite vs. road map vs. a map from 1689.  It also includes driving directions functionality, though it doesn't seem to be as far along in development.  Anyway, it's available for Linux, Maemo, MeeGo, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Check it out today at marble.kde.orgNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.LibrivoxIrish Mexicana (2:24)Whisky in the Jar (2:58)sous la pluie (3:48)Skibbereen feat Heydline (4:34)The Voice of Moss (2:17)The Pullet and the Cock (2:11)That was Irish Mexicana by Droxiav, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Whisky in the Jar by 3 Sheets To The Wind, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had sous la pluie by Adragante, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Skibbereen feat Heydline by Marijanh, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was The Voice of Moss by Walid Feghali, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Finishing up was The Pullet and the Cock by duck, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some pop and rock.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Durango-Silverton RR Dec 01 | 24 bit (1:33)Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring steampunk music.  A bunch of the songs this week have vocals, but there are also a bunch of instrumentals, too.  So let's get started!The Watchmaker's Apprentice (5:41)Fig Leaf Rag - distressed (3:29)Battle In The Sky - A Steampunk Orchestra (3:01)Eighteenth Century (1:51)"Epic" Orchestral Piece (3:00)The Clockwork City (12/14) (1:55)Frost Waltz (2:18)That was a chunk of Durango-Silverton RR Dec 01 | 24 bit by BoilingSand, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under an Attribution license.  If you ever get a chance to ride the Durango and Silverton, it is an excellent ride and well worth it to go see.  After that was The Watchmaker's Apprentice by The Clockwork Quartet, which is available from their website at clockworkquartet.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had Fig Leaf Rag - distressed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Battle In The Sky - A Steampunk Orchestra by Walid Feghali and Eighteenth Century by Niklas Stagvall, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was "Epic" Orchestral Piece by Steven O'Brien and The Clockwork City (12/14) by David Cordero Chang, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Frost Waltz by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.Although I'm a big fan of open licensing, I also very much enjoy music from artists who are either independent or are on labels which kind of buck the trend of seemingly the majority of the mainstream music industry and actually like the fact that they have people listening to their music.  And with steampunk music, although I can't play it on here, there is a lot of really good stuff either direct published or on small labels.  A few songs I can heartily recommend listening to include:- Airship Pirate by Abney Park- Steph(v)enson by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing (who actually released a version of that album on wax cylinder)- All Hail the Chap by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer- I Want Only You by The Cog Is Dead- Just Glue Some Gears On It (And Call It Steampunk) by Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire- Roustabout by Beats Antique- and Lament for a Toy Factory by Dr. SteelMost of this week's music was chosen more for a mechanical sound than for anachronistic style combinations.  Stuff that just sounded to me like it went well with a slow speed reciprocating engine.  Not everyone considers the same things "steampunk music", since it's not a particularly well-defined genre, but this kind of thing falls pretty squarely into that category for me.Steam Train Interior (2:16)Railroad (1:42)Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo (0:36)Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) (1:01)Clockwork Symphony (2:30)04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry (4:10)That was a chunk of Steam Train Interior by allh, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under the CC0 license.  After that was Railroad by Jake Tickner and Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo by Walid Feghali, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) by Tim Reed, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Clockwork Symphony by Psarius and finishing up was 04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry by stereochemistrymusic, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is OpenTTD, a transportation network simulator where your job is to build a system of road, rail, air, and ship routes to connect together towns and industries to move people and goods around the map in the most efficient way possible.  It's a little like if you took just the transportation components of a city simulator and extended it into its own game.  For example, not only do you build train stations and tracks, but the terrain of the tracks will slow down your trains if they hit a hill.  You also have to do regular maintenance on your vehicles and even build their routes and schedules.  I'll admit I'm pretty terrible at playing it, partially due to my propensity to overuse trains instead of other forms of transportation, but I still have a lot of fun playing it.  It's available for Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, AmigaOS and MorphOS, BeOS and Haiku, OS/2, RISC OS, Android, PalmOS, Symbian, Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at openttd.orgNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.20000 Leagues under the SeasTower Bridge old machine room (1:00)CONCERNS (3:36)Monomental (3:20)Prelude No. 7 in A major, Op. 2g on a crappy old, out of tune, upright piano (1:44)Shine On, Harvest Moon (1:55)Ain't Nobody's Business (5:44)Steampunk Girl (3:56)That was Tower Bridge old machine room by The London Sound Survey, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was CONCERNS by AKAJULES and Monomental by aledjones_musics, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had Prelude No. 7 in A major, Op. 2g on a crappy old, out of tune, upright piano by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Shine On, Harvest Moon by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth and performed by Bill Kramme singing with himself, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Ain't Nobody's Business by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins and performed by Cryindtbuffkin, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Steampunk Girl by John Anealio, which is available from his website at johnanealio.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.So, that's all for today.  Remember -

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring cartoon music.The Honors March (0:45 @ 0:10)Habanera (4:07 @ 0:51)Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) (1:38 @ 5:01)Hebrides Overture/Fingal's Cave (11:22 @ 6:36)That was The Honors March by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the US Navy Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  After that was Habanera from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) by Léo Delibes and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was The Hebrides overture or Fingal's Cave by Felix Mendelssohn and performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the Musopen project, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.As you've just heard, this week's episode is not all Public Domain like I usually aim for for cartoon music episodes.  But it is still Attribution, so there's still plenty you can do with this music.So with that said, let's get back to music.Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus (from Lohengrin) (6:33 @ 18:54)Home Sweet Home (1:17 @ 25:26)The Messiah, Hallelujah (3:51 @ 26:43)La Cumparsita (3:47 @ 30:36)Canon in D Major (5:55 @ 34:25)That was Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner and performed by the United States Marine band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  After that was Home Sweet Home by Sir Henry Bishop and performed by Lucas Gonze, which is available from soupgreens.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  That recording could probably be considered a form of historical preservation - he used not only sheet music but instruments from 1900 and earlier to play it and has the sheet music available on his website if you want to try playing it yourself.  Then we had The Messiah, Hallelujah by George Frideric Handel and performed by Orchestra Gli Armonici, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  Next up was La cumparsita by Gerardo Matos Rodríguez, which is available from Wikipedia and is licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is DOSBox, an x86 emulator specifically intended for running old games.  For those of you unfamiliar with emulators, when you run DOSBox, it basically boots up a simulation of an old computer inside of your new one, allowing you to run old programs that no longer run properly on modern computers.  DOSBox runs pretty much everywhere - there's even a port of it for my cell phone.  It's available for Linux, BSD, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BeOS and Haiku, Kolibrios, RISC OS, XBox, PSP, Wii, Palm OS, webOS, Symbian, Maemo, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and probably many more.  Check it out today at dosbox.comNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.Nonsense NovelsAlso Sprach Zarathustra (1:26 @ 44:03)Rock-A-Bye Baby (5:22 @ 45:25)Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box (0:16 @ 50:46)Sobre las Olas (7:27 @ 51:02)Manhattan Beach (2:17 @ 58:30)That was the Sunrise fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Rock-A-Bye Baby by an unknown composer and performed by Nexus 6, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box, again originally by an unknown composer, performed by cgrote, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Sobre las Olas by Juventino Rosas and synthesized by, and I'm going to give this my best shot, Alberto Eliseo Méndez Blackaller y orquesta XYZ Antares, which is available from IMSLP and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Manhattan Beach by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the United States Marine Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.So, that's all for today.  Remember -

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring harp music.  As a heads-up, this episode is not safe for work.  Not for language, inappropriate content, or anything else except one thing: this stuff puts me to sleep.  Like, industrial strength lullabies.  Absolutely perfect for right before bed, but if you need to stay awake, you might want to wait to listen until another time.  So, with that, let's take a listen.  Sweet dreams!Dante Axe - Harp Harmony (0:24 @ 0:31)Piece for Flute and Harp (2:13 @ 0:55)Harp Phrase 1 (0:24 @ 3:07)Harp Fantasy (5:18 @ 3:26)星へ (2:25 @ 8:40)Harp Phrase 2 (0:14 @ 11:04)The woman crying on the staircase (1:42 @ 11:16)That was Dante Axe - Harp Harmony by DanteAxeProduction, Piece for Flute and Harp by Steven O'Brien, Harp Phrase 1 by Chino Yoshio, Harp Fantasy by Tom Yeshe, 星へ by ju-nya, Harp Phrase 2 by Chino Yoshio, and finishing up was The woman crying on the staircase by pmiedzinska, all seven of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.This week's another Attribution episode.  There's all kinds of stuff you can do to reuse this music and pass it along for others to enjoy.  All of the music this week is also from only one website - SoundCloud - which happened to have a ton of harp music under an Attribution license.  Jamendo had a few good ones, but the licensing was more restrictive, so they'll have to wait for another episode.  Anyway, with that, let's get back to listening to music.Harp (3:50 @ 13:44)Harp loop (0:32 @ 17:32)SwiftBeats - harp (0:11 @ 18:04)FiskaHarp (1:03 @ 18:13)Another princess of mars (2:10 @ 19:13)medieval boys (1:18 @ 21:22)Memories (4:03 @ 22:41)Celestia's Dusk (2:32 @ 26:44)Guzheng practice (2:22 @ 29:16)Siren ~ Original Song (1:31 @ 31:41)Lalo (6:01 @ 33:12)That was Harp by Chino Yoshio, Harp loop by ruchir-sharma, SwiftBeats - harp by Swift Beats, FiskaHarp by Jonathan Krüger, Another princess of mars by sanefiftyfour, medieval boys by clynos, Memories by Tudor Anghelina, Celestia's Dusk by NightBreeze7, Guzheng practice by Makavox, Siren ~ Original Song by Merryberry, and finishing up was Lalo by Alas Media, all eleven of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is Mumble, an amazingly easy-to-use voice-over-IP solution.  It works a little like a conference call - multiple people can join a server and talk to each other.  In practice, it feels more like a walkie talkie or like you're in the same room as someone else rather than the formality of a phone call.  There is an integrated chat system, and all communications are encrypted.  The cool thing is that it pretty much comes with all the defaults to just kind of work, and what there isn't a default for, it walks you through setting up the first time you launch it.  It's available for Linux, BSD, Maemo, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and probably buildable for just about any other platform supported by Qt.  Check it out today at mumble.sourceforge.netNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.LibrivoxThe garden of earthly delights (3:36 @ 40:55)Tο παιχνίδι (The Game) (6:04 @ 44:16)仮歌用 (1:45 @ 50:21)By the Fire (1:59 @ 52:06)Morning Glory (2:43 @ 54:02)That was The garden of earthly delights by pmiedzinska, Tο παιχνίδι (The Game) by CallMeViking, 仮歌用 by ju-nya, By the Fire by Ralf Kleemann - Harpist, and finishing up was Morning Glory by Alphonsin, all five of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some cartoon music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Airtone) by J.Lang, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is Cube Trains, a neat little puzzle game where you have to route trains to get them from the start to the end without colliding with each other.  The red trains and green trains each have two stations you have to build routes between without letting them collide.  The challenge comes in that you're building in an urban environment and have limited space between the buildings.  So you have to start thinking vertically, adding multiple levels and building bridges to route tracks over the top of each other.  It's a very cool game, and one which you should try.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at cubetrains.comNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.ccMixter Rap (with Music)Light Patterns (3:44 @ 42:08)Ethereal Space (cdk Mix) (ft. snowflake) (3:58 @ 45:48)(tomorrow's) (2:57 @ 49:43)Barrilada no (1:57 @ 52:39)Ambiphonic (5:06 @ 54:31)That was ccMixter Rap (with Music) by Togora and Light Patterns by morgantj, both of which are available from ccMixter and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Ethereal Space (cdk Mix) (ft. snowflake) by cdk, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had (tomorrow's) by Sheep Studio~* and Barrilada no by BrunoXe, and finishing up was Ambiphonic by Zeropage, all three of which are available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some harp music.  See 'ya!Download MP3Episode 39: Electronic by Ralph Wacksworth is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring chiptunes.Press Start (0:52 @ 0:10)130 Chiptune Lead A (0:07 @ 1:01)Continue 2 (1:19 @ 1:09)16 (1:16 @ 2:26)Close To You (edited) (1:33 @ 3:42)Boss (1:07 @ 5:11)Tasty (3:36 @ 6:16)Snegurochka's Gameboy (0:50 @ 9:51)One Hour Compo: Mechanized Whalesong [Famitracker Chiptune] (2:08 @ 10:41)That was Press Start by Andrey Avkhimovich, which is available from Jamendo.  After that was 130 Chiptune Lead A by Rave.Vic Sample Pool, Continue 2 by 8-BITchin'tendo, 16 by bobbobowitz, a slightly edited version of Close To You by Killer Katana, Boss by 8-BITchin'tendo, Tasty by lightsoda, Snegurochka's Gameboy by Brettstuff, and finishing up was One Hour Compo: Mechanized Whalesong [Famitracker Chiptune] by Patashu, all eight of which are available from SoundCloud.  All nine songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.This week's another Attribution music week, partially because I love the permissiveness of the license and partially because due to that I'd love to see someone use some of this music to make some more open source games.  There are a ton of games already that run on Linux, but open licensed songs are a great way to push a game idea forward without it being quite as difficult.And on that note, I'd like to mention OpenGameArt again.  They have all kinds of open licensed resources for making games, including graphics, sound effects, music, and 3D models.  If you're interested more in programming or level design than drawing sprites, or even if you just want some stand-in graphics to prototype your game with, this site is a great resource.  Check it out at opengameart.orgSo, with that, let's get back to listening to music.Spiff Tune -

Sorry, folks, for the delay this week.  This episode has been queued up since Monday but I couldn't get the file to upload.  Just got it to work, though.  At any rate, I forgot to mention that the The Internet Archive (which hosts the audio files for this podcast) is doing a fundraising drive.  If you could help them out, I'm sure they'd appreciate it!  Here's the link.Thanks for listening!- RalphHi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring electronic music.06 - Qvic (3:21 @ 0:11)The New Music (ft.

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring nontraditional Christmas music.  You can expect a bunch of songs with lyrics, some familiar and some not, along with many different styles of music that really just don't fit any other time of the year.  Some of them, particularly later in the episode, are really fun but a bit harsh.  So, without further ado, let's get started.Chiron Beta Prime (2:50 @ 0:25)O Tanning Bed (1:59 @ 3:13)O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) (ft. Admiral Bob) (2:54 @ 5:11)Silent night (1:55 @ 8:00)Wenceslas (2:53 @ 9:48)Sugar Plum Dark Mix (2:05 @ 12:35)That was Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton, which is available from his website at jonathancoulton.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was O Tanning Bed by Max DeGroot, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) (ft. Admiral Bob) by unreal_dm, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Silent night by richjens and Wenceslas by Bad Hat, both of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Sugar Plum Dark Mix by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.The next set is composed of 11 variations of 4 songs.  So, let's take a listen.The Little Drummer Boy (2:37 @ 15:22)Little (Punk) Drummer Boy (3:18 @ 17:58)Wesley Dysart - Little Drummer Bot (2:54 @ 21:14)Carol of the Bells (1:09 @ 24:08)Carol of the Bells (1:54 @ 25:16)Carol of the Bells (1:07 @ 27:11)Angels We Have Heard on High (ft.

Sunshine Paul, Bob Sorem, Rocavaco/SackJo22, Morusque) by texasradiofish, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Angels on high by gbmusic and Jingle Bells by Harold Morton, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Jingle Bells (ft. SackJo22) by unreal_dm, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Finishing up was Hardcore Jingle Bells by Storyboards, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Some of the songs this week are more nontraditional than others, and that one takes the cake.  I really really want to see it worked into some kind of a humorous open source Christmas-themed game.  Anyway...Today's app-of-the-day is Trigger Rally Online Edition, a browser-based obstacle course racing game with the same crazy physics I'm used to from racing games of the 90's.  Seriously, it's cool.  You'll need a very modern browser, I believe only Firefox and WebKit-based browsers and possibly Opera currently support it, and it uses the keyboard for controls.  If you have that, which I normally surf the web with anyway, the graphics are amazingly good, though if you play Version 1 you might want to play it without sound right now as they seem to be having some problems with that as of late.  Anyway, check it out today at triggerrally.comNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.The FuMPPodsafe Christmas Song (edited) (2:44 @ 47:23)02 Go Tell it on the Mountain (3:00 @ 50:05)11 The Bells (1:31 @ 53:05)Deck The Halls (Elves and Trumpets Mix) (ft.

Admiral Bob) (2:31 @ 1:02:18)That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from thefump.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was an edited version of Podsafe Christmas Song by Jonathan Coulton, which is available from his website at jonathancoulton.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  The cool thing about that song is that a few years ago it was very accurate.  I remember looking for open licensed Christmas music and could hardly find anything.  Nowadays, as evidenced by this week's and last week's episodes, we have tons of open licensed Christmas music thanks to all of the artists out there who are sharing their music and the websites that support and encourage open licensing.  Anyway, next up was 02 Go Tell it on the Mountain and 11 The Bells, both by the_2nd_tenor, available from SoundCloud, and licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Deck The Halls (Elves and Trumpets Mix) (ft. James Edwards) by spinningmerkaba, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was The Headbangin' Christmas Medley by christopian, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Auld Lang Syne (ft.

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring traditional Christmas music.  As such, there are a number of songs this week with vocals, but they're pretty well-known ones, so let's get started.Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies (1:48 @ 0:17)O Holy Night (edited) (6:18 @ 1:59)Deck the Halls B (4:29 @ 8:04)We Wish You a Merry Christmas (0:52 @ 12:21)What Child Is This/ Greensleeves (Duet) (0:48 @ 13:09)That was Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had an edited version of O Holy Night by Karen Savage for Librivox, which is available from The Internet Archive and is licensed as Public Domain.  After that was Deck the Halls B by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was We Wish You a Merry Christmas by the United States Marine Band, which is available from FreeMusicArchive and is licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was What Child Is This/ Greensleeves (Duet) by TubaChick23, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.Although I very much appreciate all of the artists who have open licensed their music, I've got to send a special thank you this week to Kevin MacLeod for all the Christmas music he's got open licensed.  You'll probably notice his name coming up a lot this week.  He's got a ton of very good Christmas music in many different styles which went a long way toward making this episode very easy to put together.I'd also like to thank all of the artists this week for licensing their music under very permissive licenses.  All of the music this week is Attribution or compatible, with a lot of it being Public Domain.  That's pretty awesome, and really helps resolve the problem from a few years ago where we had close to zero Christmas music recordings which were open licensed.  Now there's quite a bit, and it's all thanks to the artists who share their music.  So, thank you folks!And with that, let's get back to listening to some more music.Silent Night (2:14 @ 15:21)Oh Christmas Tree (3:56 @ 17:32)It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (4:25 @ 21:21)Carol of the Bells (3:38 @

licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was Away in a Manger by Chino Yoshio, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is fluid_table_tennis, a really interesting HTML5 game that's a little bit hard to describe.  Essentially, it's the classic ping-pong game with the added twist that each paddle can shoot a jet of fluid, creating little whirlpools and other flow patterns that dramatically change the trajectory of the ball.  You really kind of have to just try it.  It can be played single player or local two player and runs in a browser.   Check it out today at https://github.com/anirudhjoshi/fluid_table_tennisNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.A Christmas Carol

Carica05 (0:04)music box loop 29 (0:15)Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring steampunk music.  We've got a few songs with vocals this week, but without further ado, let's get started.The Doctor's Wife (5:47)London, 1856 - A Steampunk Orchestra (3:41)Remember The Name (Fort Minor) (Sinister Strings Mix) (4:52)Rom Bart-Insomnia [Soundtrack] (1:36)Wooden Rocks (1:05)steam engine at museum (0:59)wrenches_thrown_or_dropped (0:21)Ratchet1 (0:20)construction metal lumber (0:56)Metal Hammer on Metal on Wood Impact Collision Bang 44.1kHz (0:52)So, starting out the episode were two sound effects from FreeSound - Carica05 by melarancida and music box loop 29 by klankbeeld, which are both licensed under the CC Zero license.  After the introduction was The Doctor's Wife by The Clockwork Quartet, which is available from their website at clockworkquartet.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had London, 1856 - A Steampunk Orchestra by Walid Feghali, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Remember The Name (Fort Minor) (Sinister Strings Mix) by tekp, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Rom Bart-Insomnia [Soundtrack] by Rom Bart, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Wooden Rocks by Christiaan Bakker, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was a mix I put together of a few industrial sound effects from FreeSound: steam engine at museum by 3bagbrew, which is licensed under an Attribution license, and wrenches_thrown_or_dropped by vibe_crc, Ratchet1 by orestes910, a chunk of construction metal lumber by cognito perceptu, and Metal Hammer on Metal on Wood Impact Collision Bang 44.1kHz by qubodup, all four of which are licensed under the CC Zero license.I've been a big fan of steampunk for years.  I love the visual style, I love the dedication to craftsmanship, learning different construction techniques, and in general making things that not only function but look nice doing what they do.  As long as I can remember, I've been a big fan of steam-powered devices and gears anyway, mainly because you can see how things work, and steampunk brings those together into an awesome aesthetic.  Plus there's the element of classic literary influences mixed in, and as I'm sure you can probably tell from the audio books advertised on this podcast in the noncommercial breaks, I'm quite fond of that.  It's just an all-around cool movement, and I'd love to see more people really taking part in it in not just a trend way, but in a paradigm way.  Do what you do with quality to last.  Fix things if you can.  Take a pass on the throwaway society we've developed and learn the cool stuff your ancestors and predecessors knew.With that said, with the wide variety of people who have gotten into steampunk over the last few years, there's quite a bit of variation in what people do and do not consider steampunk music.  I tend to think of it more as music that sounds very mechanical or which blends elements of old and new musical styles, and there's plenty of open licensed music out there which fits that.  So much that I had to split the episode up so I could keep this at about an hour and do another episode later.  Speaking of which, this episode's going to be long enough as is, so let's get back to things.traction engine x2 (1:31)Getaway (otra vez rmx) (voiceless mix) (4:19)BEAUTY FULL - sidecar tommy (3:06)Jester's Tear (2:43)That was another sound effect from FreeSound named traction engine x2 by NLM, which is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  The first song in the set was Getaway (otra vez rmx) (voiceless mix) by gmz, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was BEAUTY FULL - sidecar tommy by sidecartommy, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Jester's Tear by Celestial Aeon Project, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.Today's app-of-the-day is Emberwind, an HTML5 side-scroller game where you play as a gnome and run around helping people and whacking things with a stick.  Pretty much a basic classic side-scroller, but it runs in a browser, and runs quite well.  Try it out today at http://operasoftware.github.com/Emberwind/ with a capital E or take a look at the source code from https://github.com/operasoftware/Emberwind/ with a capital E.Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.20000 Leagues under the SeasUntitled 4 (ft. The3amAssociation, audiotechnica) (6:22)Pieza pequeña (1:01)Conjuring Steam (3:02)Roll Jordan Roll (2:19)The Guava Rag (1:04)Spirit of St. Louis (3:18)Live recording of In the jail house now (4:08)End of a story (2:29)That was Untitled 4 (ft. The3amAssociation, audiotechnica) by teru, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Pieza pequeña by BrunoXe, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Conjuring Steam by MLucas, Roll Jordan Roll by The Joy Drops, and The Guava Rag by Brettstuff, all three of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Following that was Spirit of St. Louis by Lena Selyanina, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Live recording of In the jail house now by Sid Qualls, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was End of a story by zero-project, which is available from zero-project.gr and is licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some traditional Christmas music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring instrumental acoustic music.La pêche au thon - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION (2:58)A la Roberto, tema I (1:37)Ragtime Guitar (0:36)Slightly On The Mash (version 2) (1:18)Austerity Rag (3:20)Cama Plana (2:04)That was La pêche au thon - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION by Löhstana David and A la Roberto, tema I by Clbustos, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Ragtime Guitar by Sean Davoust, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Slightly On The Mash (version 2) by lucas_gonze, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under the CC-Zero license.  Following that was Austerity Rag by The Naughty Step and finishing up was Cama Plana by mpintar, both of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.This week's music is all Attribution or compatible again.  You may also notice that a lot of the music this week is from SoundCloud.  That's because, although there's a lot of good acoustic music on other sites, I ran into a lot of it that was either Attribution Noncommercial or Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike, and since I wanted to do an Attribution-only episode, I ended up cutting a bunch of it.  It'll probably make it into a future episode, though - some of it's really good.And for all of you folks that just happen to have a 4K display already, apparently the short film Sintel is available for download in 4K resolution, or 4096x1744 pixels.  I find this rather fascinating, since we now have open media at the forefront of technological advancements in commercial display resolution.  By making this available, they're giving early adopters and anyone playing around with the technology free media to test it with, which benefits not only the general public and the open content community but the commercial media distribution companies as well.  The 4K version of Sintel is available from the Xiph Test Media site at media.xiph.org and is licensed under an Attribution license.Anyway, let's continue with some more music.Entertainer part 1 (1:19)Sad (3:07)Imposto (3:36)A Night Of Stars (4:50)Grünes Land VIIb (4:44)Camila - Instrumental (2:37)Primavera (4:19)Amy Waltz (0:53)Acoustic theme (2:10)Juba Breakdown (1:10)That was Entertainer part 1 by mikefilonov, Sad by eshmatov, Imposto by mpintar, and A Night Of Stars by Acoustic Size, all four of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Grünes Land VIIb by Still Playing Guitar, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Camila - Instrumental by mpintar, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Primavera by Distimia (España), which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Amy Waltz (Nov 12 2012) by lucas_gonze and Acoustic theme by Korgluva, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Juba Breakdown by lucas_gonze, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under the CC-Zero license.Today's app-of-the-day is Agent 008 Ball, a neat little HTML5 open source billiards game.  The object of the game is to get all of the pool balls scored as fast as possible.  It's quick loading and easy to try, has nice graphics and sound, runs very smoothly, and is licensed under an MIT license.  Try it out today at agent8ball.comNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music, and although this book is filled with really terrible and outdated stereotypes, it has some really clever puns and wordplay, and as such, I very much enjoy it.The Foolish DictionaryCerises - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION (3:40)Ratty's return (3:02)1001 Rag (3:46)Telling a Repetitive Anecdote (Instrumental) (3:39)That was Cerises - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION by Löhstana David, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Ratty's return by The Naughty Step, 1001 Rag by HeatherEnidWells, and finishing up was Telling a Repetitive Anecdote (Instrumental) by Geoff Bennett, all three of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some steampunk music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring trance music.  As a heads-up, many of the songs this week have vocals.  So with that, let's get started.Trance Guitar (5:08)Ghosts and Monsters (4:04)Lift me up (3:28)Randos - Mystery (6:40)That was Trance Guitar by Centralsoft, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Ghosts and Monsters (ft. eshar46) by George_Ellinas and Lift me up by tkdsky, which are both available from ccMixter and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Finishing up was Randos - Mystery by Ranzor, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.At this point, you've still got a few more days for the Humble Bundle.  They added another five games which you get if you pay more than the average.  I haven't tried them all yet, but I can tell you that I very much like Splice, Eufloria, and Cogs.  They're nice peaceful settings that lend themselves well to picking them up and playing for a few minutes, provided you can pry yourself away from them.  I believe all of the games in this bundle are available for Linux, Android, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows, though I think one or two do not work on smaller Android devices like phones due to the small screen sizes.  Check it out today at humblebundle.comTrance (7:39)Face to face (3:35)return to the future (3:10)That was Trance by Kaerus, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Face to face by GenDy, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was return to the future by Sekula Wieslaw, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.Today's app-of-the-day is Audacious, the music player I use to organize my playlists.  I didn't realize this until recently, but it's available for platforms other than Linux.  Audacious is just an incredibly simple and basic music player.  Not many bells and whistles, and that's why I like it.  When you're working with different playlists as much as I do for this podcast, the stability of that functionality becomes a hugely important feature, and unlike other music players Audacious delivers on that point.  They have downloads on their website for Linux and Microsoft Windows, and it looks quite easy to compile for Mac OS X.  Check out the podcast website for a link to a howto for compiling it for Mac OS X, or to download the official version for Linux or Microsoft Windows, check out audacious-media-player.orgNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, which this week is also a song, followed by some more music.CCmixter.org (6:36)Behind Fantasy (4:15)Infinity (7:05)[www.electrobel.it]felixjd800 - you_bite_and_scratches (7:03)That was CCmixter.org by Nitropox@CCmixter, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Behind Fantasy by CORIN-Music, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Infinity by zero-project, which is available from zero-project.gr and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was [www.electrobel.it]felixjd800 - you_bite_and_scratches by Felixjd, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some instrumental acoustic music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring mystery and spy music.La Prima Noche Versus Carmão 1 Pulmão EP 2009 (2:36)Noir - 01 (2:19)I Knew a Guy (2:46)Vicenzo Bosa - Jazz (1:24)Noir guitar soundtrack samples (1:25)café connection (Instrumental) (3:12)That was La Prima Noche Versus Carmão 1 Pulmão EP 2009 by Avante Royale and Noir - 01 by grimorio, which are both available from SoundCloud.  Then we had I Knew a Guy by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  After that was Vicenzo Bosa - Jazz by vicenzobosa and Noir guitar soundtrack samples by Stevies Amp Shack, which are both available from SoundCloud.  Finishing up was the instrumental version of café connection by morgantj, which is available from ccMixter.  All six of them in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.This week's another "at least as permissive as Attribution" week.  As usual, I'm a big fan of the more permissive licenses sine there's so much more you can do with them.  While I understand the position of people wanting to restrict their works to noncommercial or something like that, I tend to be more of the opinion with my own works that if you're going to give people the freedom to reuse your works, you might as well give them the freedom to build whatever kind of cool stuff they want with them.  No sense in making them redo what you've already done just because they want to use it in a way you didn't anticipate.  That's why I like doing these episodes.  If I use anything more restrictive, I have to place restrictions on the whole episode.  This way, you've got a nice collection of stuff to easily reuse for just about anything.  I'd love to see one of you listeners use this music for an open movie or a new game.  That would be truly awesome.  And if you do, please let me know.  I'd love to see what you did and try it out!Speaking of games, the Humble Bundle folks are back again with another bundle of games for Android, Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  There a number of really fun-looking games that I'm looking forward to trying when I get some time.  Pay what you want, and depending on your pricing level there's a bonus game.  Plus, they come with soundtracks.  Check it out today at humblebundle.comNow, back to music.Thoughtful Spy (2:27)Escape From Tridion (2:02)Fast Talkin (1:01)Desert Spy (2:09)Rain & Mystery (2:50)Soundtrack: solo electric blues guitar (1:14)Long Note Three (edited) (3:15)Interloper (4:25)Soundtrack (edited) (5:37)That was Thoughtful Spy by Reality Catcher, which is available from SoundCloud.  After that was Escape From Tridion by Pirato Ketchup, which is available from Jamendo.  Then we had Fast Talkin by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  Next up was Desert Spy by KrugerKnight, Rain & Mystery by Royaltyfree, and Soundtrack: solo electric blues guitar by Barrettt, which are available from SoundCloud.  After that was a slightly edited version of Long Note Three followed by Interloper, both by Kevin MacLeod and available from incompetech.com.  Finishing up was an edited version of Soundtrack by nathanschlawin, which is available from SoundCloud.  All nine of the songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is Ri-Li, a game where you have to route toy trains around a track without letting your train collide with itself.  It's a lot like the classic snake game where as you collect items from the track, your train gets longer.  The catch is that, unlike a snake game, you're limited to running on the existing tracks instead of having a whole field of open space to use.  Makes for some interesting strategy.  It's available for Linux, AmigaOS, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at ri-li.sourceforge.netNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.The Adventures of Sherlock HolmesCovert Affair (3:14)Night Surfing (2:56)Agent Orange (edited) (1:36)Speed Surfer (edited) (1:43)Los impresionistas (2:38)That was Covert Affair by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  After that was Night Surfing by Bogstomp, which is available from SoundCloud, an edited version of Agent Orange (ft. Colin Mutchler) by Sawtooth, which is available from ccMixter, and a slightly edited version of Speed Surfer by Pirato Ketchup, which is available from Jamendo.  Finishing up was Los impresionistas by LOS SEDIENTOS SURFISTAS, which is available from SoundCloud.  All five of the songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast areavailable on the website.  Listen in next time for some trance music.  See 'ya!Download MP3
