rWotD Episode 2688: Stanisław Tatar Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 12 September 2024 is Stanisław Tatar.Stanisław Tatar nom de guerre "Stanisław Tabor" (3 October 1896 – 16 December 1980) was a Polish Army colonel in the interwar period and, during World War II, one of the commanders of Armia Krajowa, Polish resistance movement. He was appointed brigade general in 1943 and half-a-year later flew from occupied Poland to London.After the war ended, Tatar betrayed the London-based Polish government-in-exile by organising an illegal handover of its vast reserves of money and gold (donated by the nation and called the Fund of National Defense), to the communist regime. The first batch of money was stolen en route by a consul in 1945, yet Tatar went on with his plan in 1947. He came back to Poland in 1949 on the promise of military leadership with LWP, only to be arrested and falsely accused of conspiracy against the party by the Stalinist secret police (Urząd Bezpieczeństwa). Subsequently, Tatar was tried and sentenced to life imprisonment in the so-called Trial of the Generals, but released from prison during Polish October of 1956.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Thursday, 12 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Stanisław Tatar on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

Jeff welcomes retired attorney and businessperson Susan Hunter. Before developing a state-of-the-art indoor dog park and boarding-grooming-training facility in Nevada, Susan ran a successful elder law firm in Indiana. Back then, Susan and Jeff took time from their practices to co-teach a systematized approach of practice to elder law, estate planning, and asset protection attorneys. Through their work as Lawyers with Purpose® members, Susan and Jeff significantly contributed to what is now a nationwide network of highly skilled and effective estate and elder law attorneys. BARK!

Dla wierchuszki LWP rok 1989 był totalnym szokiem - wskazuje historyk.

Just because you've been in therapy for 15 years (or however long) and you still go doesn't mean something is wrong with you or that it's not working. Some people seem to think that there is a final destination when it comes to personal growth and that's just not the case. This topic came up because of today's quote: “Debating if I should continue my healing journey or go insane?” (this made us Lol because it most definitely hits home for some days!)   Does Amy have some weird disease?? Amy has an underlying issue that is causing her mouth to be really dry. If anyone has any idea what this could be….let us know!    Shoutout Little Words Project!! Amy was given LWP bracelets by two different friends at a radio seminar this last weekend. One friend gave her ‘BLOOM' and another gave her ‘KEEP GOING' - these bracelets are so cute!    Do you know the difference between unplugging and recharging? It's very important to know the difference and make sure you're doing both!    What does Amy do with her wedding ring now that she is divorced? Jewelry is precious, so keeping it in the family is likely what she will do! Thoughts?   Amy & Kat talk about all of this & MORE! Hope you enjoy and have the day you need to have!!   HOSTS:Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy Kat Defatta // @Kat.Defatta // @YouNeedTherapyPodcast // YouNeedTherapyPodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Connect our private feed with your favourite pod-catcher at https://thevoicesofwar.supercast.com/ ---- My guest today is Amos Fox, who is an officer in the US Army with more than 24 years of service in uniform. Amos has written extensively on war and conflict over the past decade, producing over 60 publications. His work focuses on causal mechanisms to explain patterns in armed conflict. Much of Amos' current writing addresses proxy war, land warfare, the Russo-Ukrainian War, and military thinking. He joined me to discuss some of his views on the state of Western military thinking, particularly our potential over-reliance on the concept of manoeuvre warfare. Some of the topics we covered are: Amos' background in the military and path into academia Influences of Amos' first operational deployment in Iraq Understanding the reality on the ground – when intentions clash Defining manoeuvre warfare and its adoption by Western militaries Lack of pragmatism and reality in Western doctrine – what you need to know Why accurate and relevant doctrine matters for success in war Learning from Liddell Hart and his relevance today Debunking the illusion of manoeuvre in modern battles Avoiding misapplication of past terminology in today's warfare Battle of Mosul – Western usage of sieges examined The Precision Paradox – what it means for modern warfare Expanding doctrine to include Sieges, Urban Warfare, Proxy Warfare and re-imagined combined arms/joint warfare Russian invasion of Ukraine – A case in point for modern warfare The importance of questioning preconceived ideas for effective learning During our chat, I made reference to my conversation with Marc Garlasco, Chief of High Value Targeting at the Pentagon between 1997 and 2003 where he led targeting teams during operations Iraqi Freedom, Desert Fox, and Allied Force.

Lisa and Dave are joined by David and Julie Salter, of Salter Law, in Minnesota. David and Julie are a husband and wife power team. When things got a little crazy during the pandemic, they decided to join LWP to help focus the firm on being a business as opposed to simply a law firm. When David originally took over the business, he thought he'd have enough incoming leads from referrals that he wouldn't have to do any marketing. After a few years, and a global pandemic, it became clear that wasn't the case. However, marketing always remained at the bottom of his list. It was an epiphany that David needed to have on his own, but once he was ready Julie was there to help him implement a strategy. And LWP's tools really helped them determine what to focus on and where to take the firm. Their advice to any lawyers who feel like they are coming to a similar realization? Identify what is holding you back and figure out how to overcome it. It's hard to break out and realize you need help with the business, as opposed to just carrying on as a lawyer. But you'll be glad you asked for help, they guarantee it.

Lisa and Dave are joined by Mitchell Lansky, of the Lansky Law Firm, in Nashville, Tennessee. Mitchell has been practicing almost 40 years! He calls his journey “a little strange” in the beginning because he first got his Masters in Tax. Mitchell worked for a corporation for a few years and even ended up as the General Counsel in his early 30s – young for that seat. But he always wanted to practice estate planning. In 2014, he found that taxes no longer drove estate planning and he knew he needed to update his knowledge and skill set in order to keep helping people. In searching for where he could learn more, Mitchell found LWP. And he will be the first to call his time with LWP a journey, a journey he says he may never end. At his core, Mitchell cares about helping people and he's dedicated to being a forever student so he can continue to do just that. As a more mature attorney, Mitchell leaves us with this salient point…in today's world if you're not growing at least a little bit you're fading away. He wants to keep growing. And if you do too, then you have to give this episode a listen! Mitchell inspires us all to keep growing and expanding, pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones.

Lisa and Dave are joined by Adam O'Dell, of Gordon Law Group, in Nashville, Tennessee. Adam always knew he wanted to be an attorney. He started his career as a Marine JAG officer, but 18 months in he unfortunately sustained an injury and found himself faced with a decision. He joined his current firm eight years ago, but at the time the firm looked very different than it does today. The firm started as an entertainment firm, representing country music artists, and was litigation heavy. In fact, estate planning was only about 2% of the business. When Adam came on board, he did whatever the others needed him to do, but business and estate planning were always what called to him. Personally, he'd seen it work really well on one side of his family and wanted to help others achieve the same success. The firm then joined LWP in 2017, and through what they've learned and implemented they have been able to eliminate the need for litigation, increased revenue, and decreased stress. The key word in this episode? Pivot. Knowing when to pivot and how to do it in a way that is best for you and your business. Dave and Adam talk about how LWP can help your entire firm find and achieve a work/life balance, fulfillment, and success. By the end of this episode, you'll be ready to take the plunge too! So, don't let fact-finding get in the way, give it a listen today.

In this episode LWP host Martha Newcomb breaks down the story of the Lost Son and why it is a story that no Christian should forget.

Kezia lost 50 lbs (and counting) while spending less time in the kitchen and making her system easy.Here's what she said:“in January when the doors were open for LWP I wasn't quite ready to jump in, I felt like I had all of the knowledge and understanding and I could do it on my own. So I decided to give myself some time to try it alone. Alas, I was able to eat the right things but then weekends would come and my consistency would fly out the window. So here I am signed up for LWP this round and already just investing the money in it is giving me the push I need to practice my consistency and reach my goals!” (July 2021)Since then she's focused on layering habits like her home habit, then weekends, then eating out.It's crazy what can happen with small, consistent action and learning to trust yourself again.If you want to experience this for YOUR weight loss, then join Lean with Plants!We're open for enrolment very soon.Check out the link to get on the waitlist

Będziemy mówić o żołnierzach, którzy są nazywani wyklętymi bądź niezłomnymi. Co oznacza ta nazwa? Wyklęci to coś w rodzaju przeklęci. Komuniści chcieli aby ludzie o nich zapomnieli albo myśleli same złe rzeczy.Było ich naprawdę wielu tak więc w tej audycji skupimy się głównie na Zygmuncie Szendzielarzu, który był znany pod pseudonimem: “Łupaszko”. Będziemy jednak także mówić o innych wyklętych jednak głównie będziemy się posługiwać ich pseudonimami, a nie prawdziwymi nazwiskami. Będziemy więc mówić o Łupaszce, generale Wilku, o Lalku, Kmicicu i innych.Zygmunt Szendzielarz, który jest znany jako Łupaszko walczył we wrześniu 1939 roku. Później przeszedł do konspiracji. Jego żona Anna została aresztowana w 1943 roku i wywieziona na przymusowe roboty do Niemiec. Łupaszkę skierowano wtedy do wileńskiej partyzantki.Z kim walczył Łupaszko? Polacy i Rosjanie mieli wspólnego wroga czyli Niemców. Powinni więc walczyć razem. Niestety tak się nie stało. Na Wileńszczyźnie istniał oddział partyzancki. Dowodził nim Antoni Burzyński pseudonim “Kmicic”. Partyzanci polscy i rosyjscy umawiali się, że wspólnie zaatakują Niemców. Niestety Rosjanie oszukali i zabili Kmicica i część jego ludzi. Dowództwo AK wysłało więc Łupaszkę, aby został dowódcą tego oddziału.Łupaszko nazwał swój oddział: 5 Wileńską Brygadą AK. Walczył on (Łupaszko i jego oddział) nie tylko z Niemcami. 31 stycznia 1944 roku Łupaszko rozbił oddział Wehrmachtu czyli armii niemieckiej pod Worzianami. Łupaszko został wtedy ranny. Dwa dni później czyli 2 lutego 1944 roku rosyjscy partyzanci zaatakowali oddział Łupaszki. Myśleli, że po bitwie z Wehrmachtem będzie on słaby. Łupaszko jednak pamiętał, że ci rosyjscy partyzanci zabili poprzedniego dowódcę Kmicica. Tak więc Łupaszko wiedział, że rosyjscy partyzanci są groźni.Krótko po stworzeniu tej brygady doszło do czegoś złego o czym jednak nie wiemy wszystkiego. Litewscy policjanci, którzy współpracowali z Niemcami zamordowali 39 Polaków w miejscowości Glinciszki. Polscy żołnierze więc poszli do wsi Dubinki, gdzie mieszkali ci policjanci. Tam doszło do walki i zginęło 27 osób, które były Litwinami. Wielu ludzi po wojnie oskarżało Łupaszkę, że to on nakazał zabić tych Litwinów. Mogło jednak być tak, że żołnierze sami postanowili się zemścić. Mogło też być tak, że Polacy poszli zaaresztować tych litewskich policjantów, ale doszło do walki i zginęli także cywile.A co wy o tym myślicie?Zachodzi jednak pytanie. Dlaczego Polacy i Litwini walczyli ze sobą? Przecież kiedyś byli jednym państwem? Zarówno Polacy jak i Litwini chcieli mieć Wilno. Ci litewscy policjanci współpracowali z Niemcami, bo myśleli, że Niemcy im dadzą Wilno. Właśnie o to miasto później walczono.Co to była operacja “Ostra Brama”? Operacja “Ostra Brama” była częścią akcji “Burza”. O akcji “Burza” być może już słyszeliście w związku z powstaniem warszawskim. Akcja “Burza” to było wyzwalanie różnych miast gdy podchodziła Armia Czerwona czyli armia rosyjska. Najbardziej znaną częścią akcji “Burza” jest właśnie powstanie warszawskie, ale ta operacja (“Ostra Brama”) zaczęła się dużo wcześniej. Powstanie warszawskie wybuchło 1 sierpnia 1944 roku, a operacja “Ostra Brama” zaczęła się prawie miesiąc wcześniej 7 lipca 1944 roku.Wojskami na Wileńszczyźnie czyli w okolicach Wilna dowodził generał “Wilk”. Wilk to był pseudonim taki jak “Łupaszko”. Operacja wyzwolenia Wilna nazywała się “Ostra Brama”. Jest to bardzo stara brama w Wilnie. Znajduje się tam obraz i kaplica. O tym miejscu wspomina Adam Mickiewicz w książce “Pan Tadeusz”. Wielu żołnierzy czytało “Pana Tadeusza” i być może dlatego nadali taką nazwę operacji “Ostra Brama”.Plan tej operacji był bardzo podobny do późniejszego powstania warszawskiego. Czekano aż w okolicach miasta pojawią się wojska rosyjskie, a potem próbowano zdobyć miasto. Podczas operacji “Ostra Brama” to się udało i oddziały generała “Wilka” zdobyły Wilno. Niestety później podczas powstania warszawskiego nie udało się wyzwolić Warszawy.Po wyzwoleniu jednak generał “Wilk” dalej współpracował z Rosjanami. Łupaszko jednak pamiętał, że rosyjscy partyzanci zabili Kmicica i potem także jego atakowali. Tak więc Łupaszko odszedł ze swoim oddziałem. Okazało się, że miał rację, że nie ufał Rosjanom. Udawali oni, że chcą rozmawiać z generałem “Wilkiem”, a tak naprawdę wszystkich aresztowali. Żołnierzom Wilka kazano wtedy wstąpić do LWP czyli Ludowego Wojska Polskiego. Było to wojsko polskie, którym kierowali jednak Rosjanie. Jednym z żołnierzy, który został zmuszony do wstąpienia do LWP był Leon Beynar. Później jednak uciekł i dołączył do oddziału Łupaszki. Został jego adiutantem. Niestety został później ranny i ukrywał się u proboszcza we wsi Jasienica. Zmienił wtedy nazwisko i nazywał się później Paweł Jasienica. Przed wojną studiował on historię i napisał wiele książek historycznych. Kiedy dorośniecie możecie przeczytać “Polskę Piastów”, “Polskę Jagiellonów” i inne książki Pawła Jasienicy. A gdy będziecie je czytać pamiętajcie, że Jasienica był przez parę miesięcy adiutantem Łupaszki.Ponieważ Rosjanie korzystali z pomocy Armii Krajowej w walce, ale później zawsze aresztowali żołnierzy AK postanowiono, że Armia Krajowa nie będzie się już więcej ujawniać. Armia Krajowa została rozwiązana 19 stycznia 1945 roku. Łupaszko dalej dowodził oddziałem. W lutym tego samego 1945 roku w Niemczech zginęła żona Łupaszki Anna.Dlaczego Łupaszko i inni dalej chcieli walczyć chociaż Niemcy zostali pokonani? Niemców wprawdzie wygnano z Polski, ale za to przybyli Rosjanie i wyszli z Polski dopiero w 1991 roku. Łupaszko chciał niepodległości i o to starał się walczyć. Komuniści kilkakrotnie proponowali mu rozwiązanie oddziału i powrót do cywila bez żadnej kary, ale Łupaszko im nie wierzył. W 1947 roku spotkał się ponownie z historykiem Pawłem Jasienicą, który przekonał go do powrotu do cywilnego życia, ale w tajemnicy. Łupaszko najpierw zamieszkał na Śląsku, a gdy komuniści chcieli go aresztować przeniósł się w góry niedaleko Zakopanego. Został tam pojmany i skazany na karę śmierci. Jego narzeczona Lidia także została aresztowana. Wyszła na wolność dopiero w 1956 roku i została archeolożką.Łupaszko nie był pierwszym ani ostatnim skazanym na karę śmierci przez komunistów. 1 marca 1951 roku wykonano wyrok śmierci na siedmiu członkach IV Zarządu Głównego Zrzeszenia „Wolność i Niezawisłość”. Z tego powodu, że oni zginęli właśnie 1 marca to w ten dzień wyznaczono na dzień pamięci o żołnierzach wyklętych.Kto najdłużej walczył? Józef Franczak pseudonim “Lalek” walczył od początku wojny czyli od 1939 roku aż do 1963 roku czyli łącznie 24 lata. Zginął 21 października 1963 roku.Co pamiętacie o Łupaszce? Z kim walczył oddział Łupaszki? Dlaczego w PRLu tak źle mówiono o Łupaszce? Co się wydarzyło 1 marca?Historia żołnierzy wyklętych jest bardzo skomplikowana. Zygmunt Szendzielarz, który miał pseudonim Łupaszko walczył od 1939 roku aż do aresztowania w dniu 30 czerwca 1948. Nie ufał Rosjanom i nie ufał komunistom i dlatego chciał dalej walczyć. Był w tym niezłomny i tak też się nazywa żołnierzy wyklętych. Nazywa się ich też żołnierzami niezłomnymi.

If you want it, you can achieve it. Adriana Carrig went against the grain by proving the naysayers wrong and turning her experience as a victim of bullying into a vision of kindness. Little Words Project (LWP) was born out of a need to nurture the notion that each and every one of us is worthy of hope, love, kindness, and even empowerment. Words matter and Adriana encourages the LWP community to “use kind ones.” Little words, big ideas. This female-founded brand was created to promote the concept that kindness is a universal idea. The nostalgic bracelets are a symbol of hope as they serve to provide little reminders in a big way to those that need it most, and then when the time comes, pay it forward. Hosted on Acast.

My podcast guest this week is a lung doctor and a medical research scientist whom I’ve known since we were both little kids. Katie Hisert, MD, PhD, has an even wider scope than most experts on how microbes like SARS-CoV-2 virus operate, having observed them both from the hospital bedside and in the laboratory.Media reports on Covid-19 have become so politicized that I’ve found it nearly impossible to find reliable answers to basic questions about transmissibility, what’s known and unknown about the vaccines, and other critical questions. You can’t get any more reliable than someone like Katie, so I took this opportunity to get into some of the dicier stuff: Ivermectin, vaccine risks, etc. I learned an enormous amount from this discussion and sincerely hope that others will, too. I highly recommend giving this episode a listen.—LWP.S.

FreeBSD 11.1-Beta1 is out, we discuss Kernel address randomized link (KARL), and explore the benefits of daily OpenBSD source code reading This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeBSD 11.1-Beta1 now available (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2017-June/087242.html) Glen Barber, of the FreeBSD release engineering team has announced that FreeBSD 11.1-Beta1 is now available for the following architectures: 11.1-BETA1 amd64 GENERIC 11.1-BETA1 i386 GENERIC 11.1-BETA1 powerpc GENERIC 11.1-BETA1 powerpc64 GENERIC64 11.1-BETA1 sparc64 GENERIC 11.1-BETA1 armv6 BANANAPI 11.1-BETA1 armv6 BEAGLEBONE 11.1-BETA1 armv6 CUBIEBOARD 11.1-BETA1 armv6 CUBIEBOARD2 11.1-BETA1 armv6 CUBOX-HUMMINGBOARD 11.1-BETA1 armv6 GUMSTIX 11.1-BETA1 armv6 RPI-B 11.1-BETA1 armv6 RPI2 11.1-BETA1 armv6 PANDABOARD 11.1-BETA1 armv6 WANDBOARD 11.1-BETA1 aarch64 GENERIC Note regarding arm/armv6 images: For convenience for those without console access to the system, a freebsd user with a password of freebsd is available by default for ssh(1) access. Additionally, the root user password is set to root. It is strongly recommended to change the password for both users after gaining access to the system. The full schedule (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/schedule.html) for 11.1-RELEASE is here, the final release is expected at the end of July It was also announced there will be a 10.4-RELEASE scheduled for October (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.4R/schedule.html) *** KARL – kernel address randomized link (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=149732026405941&w=2) Over the last three weeks I've been working on a new randomization feature which will protect the kernel. The situation today is that many people install a kernel binary from OpenBSD, and then run that same kernel binary for 6 months or more. We have substantial randomization for the memory allocations made by the kernel, and for userland also of course. Previously, the kernel assembly language bootstrap/runtime locore.S was compiled and linked with all the other .c files of the kernel in a deterministic fashion. locore.o was always first, then the .c files order specified by our config(8) utility and some helper files. In the new world order, locore is split into two files: One chunk is bootstrap, that is left at the beginning. The assembly language runtime and all other files are linked in random fashion. There are some other pieces to try to improve the randomness of the layout. As a result, every new kernel is unique. The relative offsets between functions and data are unique. It still loads at the same location in KVA. This is not kernel ASLR! ASLR is a concept where the base address of a module is biased to a random location, for position-independent execution. In this case, the module itself is perturbed but it lands at the same location, and does not need to use position-independent execution modes. LLDB: Sanitizing the debugger's runtime (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/lldb_sanitizing_the_debugger_s) The good Besides the greater enhancements this month I performed a cleanup in the ATF ptrace(2) tests again. Additionally I have managed to unbreak the LLDB Debug build and to eliminate compiler warnings in the NetBSD Native Process Plugin. It is worth noting that LLVM can run tests on NetBSD again, the patch in gtest/LLVM has been installed by Joerg Sonnenberg and a more generic one has been submitted to the upstream googletest repository. There was also an improvement in ftruncate(2) on the LLVM side (authored by Joerg). Since LLD (the LLVM linker) is advancing rapidly, it improved support for NetBSD and it can link a functional executable on NetBSD. I submitted a patch to stop crashing it on startup anymore. It was nearly used for linking LLDB/NetBSD and it spotted a real linking error... however there are further issues that need to be addressed in the future. Currently LLD is not part of the mainline LLDB tasks - it's part of improving the work environment. This linker should reduce the linking time - compared to GNU linkers - of LLDB by a factor of 3x-10x and save precious developer time. As of now LLDB linking can take minutes on a modern amd64 machine designed for performance. Kernel correctness I have researched (in pkgsrc-wip) initial support for multiple threads in the NetBSD Native Process Plugin. This code revealed - when running the LLDB regression test-suite - new kernel bugs. This unfortunately affects the usability of a debugger in a multithread environment in general and explains why GDB was never doing its job properly in such circumstances. One of the first errors was asserting kernel panic with PT*STEP, when a debuggee has more than a single thread. I have narrowed it down to lock primitives misuse in the doptrace() kernel code. The fix has been committed. The bad Unfortunately this is not the full story and there is further mandatory work. LLDB acceleration The EV_SET() bug broke upstream LLDB over a month ago, and during this period the debugger was significantly accelerated and parallelized. It is difficult to declare it definitely, but it might be the reason why the tracer's runtime broke due to threading desynchronization. LLDB behaves differently when run standalone, under ktruss(1) and under gdb(1) - the shared bug is that it always fails in one way or another, which isn't trivial to debug. The ugly There are also unpleasant issues at the core of the Operating System. Kernel troubles Another bug with single-step functions that affects another aspect of correctness - this time with reliable execution of a program - is that processes die in non-deterministic ways when single-stepped. My current impression is that there is no appropriate translation between process and thread (LWP) states under a debugger. These issues are sibling problems to unreliable PTRESUME and PTSUSPEND. In order to be able to appropriately address this, I have diligently studied this month the Solaris Internals book to get a better image of the design of the NetBSD kernel multiprocessing, which was modeled after this commercial UNIX. Plan for the next milestone The current troubles can be summarized as data races in the kernel and at the same time in LLDB. I have decided to port the LLVM sanitizers, as I require the Thread Sanitizer (tsan). Temporarily I have removed the code for tracing processes with multiple threads to hide the known kernel bugs and focus on the LLDB races. Unfortunately LLDB is not easily bisectable (build time of the LLVM+Clang+LLDB stack, number of revisions), therefore the debugging has to be performed on the most recent code from upstream trunk. d2K17 Hackathon Reports d2k17 Hackathon Report: Ken Westerback on XSNOCCB removal and dhclient link detection (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170605225415) d2k17 Hackathon Report: Antoine Jacoutot on rc.d, syspatch, and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170608074033) d2k17 Hackathon Report: Florian Obser on slaacd(8) (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170609013548) d2k17 Hackathon Report: Stefan Sperling on USB audio, WiFi Progress (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170602014048) News Roundup Multi-tenant router or firewall with FreeBSD (https://bsdrp.net/documentation/examples/multi-tenant_router_and_firewall) Setting-up a virtual lab Downloading BSD Router Project images Download BSDRP serial image (prevent to have to use an X display) on Sourceforge. Download Lab scripts More information on these BSDRP lab scripts available on How to build a BSDRP router lab (https://bsdrp.net/documentation/examples/how_to_build_a_bsdrp_router_lab). Start the lab with full-meshed 5 routers and one shared LAN, on this example using bhyve lab script on FreeBSD: [root@FreeBSD]~# tools/BSDRP-lab-bhyve.sh -i BSDRP-1.71-full-amd64-serial.img.xz -n 5 -l 1 Configuration Router 4 (R4) hosts the 3 routers/firewalls for each 3 customers. Router 1 (R1) belongs to customer 1, router 2 (R2) to customer 2 and router 3 (R3) to customer 3. Router 5 (R5) simulates a simple Internet host Using pf firewall in place of ipfw pf need a little more configuration because by default /dev/pf is hidden from jail. Then, on the host we need to: In place of loading the ipfw/ipfw-nat modules we need to load the pf module (but still disabling pf on our host for this example) Modify default devd rules for allowing jails to see /dev/pf (if you want to use tcpdump inside your jail, you should use bpf device too) Replacing nojail tag by nojailvnet tag into /etc/rc.d/pf (already done into BSDRP (https://github.com/ocochard/BSDRP/blob/master/BSDRP/patches/freebsd.pf.rc.jail.patch)) Under the hood: jails-on-nanobsd BSDRP's tenant shell script (https://github.com/ocochard/BSDRP/blob/master/BSDRP/Files/usr/local/sbin/tenant) creates jail configuration compliant with a host running nanobsd. Then these jails need to be configured for a nanobsd: Being nullfs based for being hosted on a read-only root filesystem Have their /etc and /var into tmpfs disks (then we need to populate these directory before each start) Configuration changes need to be saved with nanobsd configuration tools, like “config save” on BSDRP And on the host: autosave daemon (https://github.com/ocochard/BSDRP/blob/master/BSDRP/Files/usr/local/sbin/autosave) need to be enabled: Each time a customer will issue a “config save” inside a jail, his configuration diffs will be save into host's /etc/jails/. And this directory is a RAM disk too, then we need to automatically save hosts configuration on changes. *** OpenBSD Daily Source Reading (https://blog.tintagel.pl/2017/06/09/openbsd-daily.html) Adam Wołk writes: I made a new year's resolution to read at least one C source file from OpenBSD daily. The goal was to both get better at C and to contribute more to the base system and userland development. I have to admit that initially I wasn't consistent with it at all. In the first quarter of the year I read the code of a few small base utilities and nothing else. Still, every bit counts and it's never too late to get better. Around the end of May, I really started reading code daily - no days skipped. It usually takes anywhere between ten minutes (for small base utils) and one and a half hour (for targeted reads). I'm pretty happy with the results so far. Exploring the system on a daily basis, looking up things in the code that I don't understand and digging as deep as possible made me learn a lot more both about C and the system than I initially expected. There's also one more side effect of reading code daily - diffs. It's easy to spot inconsistencies, outdated code or an incorrect man page. This results in opportunities for contributing to the project. With time it also becomes less opportunitstic and more goal oriented. You might start with a https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=149591302814638&w=2 (drive by diff to kill) optional compilation of an old compatibility option in chown that has been compiled in by default since 1995. Soon the contributions become more targeted, for example using a new API for encrypting passwords in the htpasswd utility after reading the code of the utility and the code for htpasswd handling in httpd. Similarly it can take you from discussing a doas feature idea with a friend to implementing it after reading the code. I was having a lot of fun reading code daily and started to recommend it to people in general discussions. There was one particular twitter thread that ended up starting something new. This is still a new thing and the format is not yet solidified. Generally I make a lot of notes reading code, instead of slapping them inside a local file I drop the notes on the IRC channel as I go. Everyone on the channel is encouraged to do the same or share his notes in any way he/she seems feasable. Check out the logs from the IRC discussions. Start reading code from other BSD projects and see whether you can replicate their results! *** Become FreeBSD User: Find Useful Tools (https://bsdmag.org/become-freebsd-user-find-useful-tools/) BSD Mag has the following article by David Carlier: If you're usually programming on Linux and you consider a potential switch to FreeBSD, this article will give you an overview of the possibilities. How to Install the Dependencies FreeBSD comes with either applications from binary packages or compiled from sources (ports). They are arranged according to software types (programming languages mainly in lang (or java specifically for Java), libraries in devel, web servers in www …) and the main tool for modern FreeBSD versions is pkg, similar to Debian apt tools suite. Hence, most of the time if you are looking for a specific application/library, simply pkg search without necessarily knowing the fully qualified name of the package. It is somehow sufficient. For example pkg search php7 will display php7 itself and the modules. Furthermore, php70 specific version and so on. Web Development Basically, this is the easiest area to migrate to. Most Web languages do not use specific platform features. Thus, most of the time, your existing projects might just be “drop-in” use cases. If your language of choice is PHP, you are lucky as this scripting language is workable on various operating systems, on most Unixes and Windows. In the case of FreeBSD, you have even many different ports or binary package versions (5.6 to 7.1). In this case, you may need some specific PHP modules enabled, luckily they are available atomically, or if the port is the way you chose, it is via the www/php70-extensions's one. Of course developing with Apache (both 2.2 and 2.4 series are available, respectively www/apache22 and www/apache24 packages), or even better with Nginx (the last stable or the latest development versions could be used, respectively www/nginx and www/nginx-devel packages) via php-fpm is possible. In terms of databases, we have the regular RDMBS like MySQL and PostgreSQL (client and server are distinct packages … databases/(mysql/portgresql)-client, and databases/(mysql/postgresql)-server). Additionally, a more modern concept of NoSQL with CouchDB, for example (databases/couchdb), MongoDB (databases/mongodb), and Cassandra (databases/cassandra), to name but a few. Low-level Development The BSDs are shipped with C and C++ compilers in the base. In the case of FreeBSD 11.0, it is clang 3.8.0 (in x86 architectures) otherwise, modern versions of gcc exist for developing with C++11. Examples are of course available too (lang/gcc … until gcc 7.0 devel). Numerous libraries for various topics are also present, web services SOAP with gsoap through User Interfaces with GTK (x11-toolkits/gtk), QT4 or QT 5 (devel/qt), malware libraries with Yara (security/yara), etc. Android / Mobile Development To be able to do Android development, to a certain degree, the Linux's compatibility layer (aka linuxulator) needs to be enabled. Also, x11-toolkits/swt and linux-f10-gtk2 port/package need to be installed (note that libswt-gtk-3550.so and libswt-pi-gtk-3550.so are necessary. The current package is versioned as 3557 and can be solved using symlinks). In the worst case scenario, remember that bhyve (or Virtualbox) is available, and can run any Linux distribution efficiently. Source Control Management FreeBSD comes in base with a version of subversion. As FreeBSD source is in a subversion repository, a prefixed svnlite command prevents conflicts with the package/port. Additionally, Git is present but via the package/port system with various options (with or without a user interface, subversion support). Conclusion FreeBSD has made tremendous improvements over the years to fill the gap created by Linux. FreeBSD still maintains its interesting specificities; hence there will not be too much blockers if your projects are reasonably sized to allow a migration to FreeBSD. Notes from project Aeronix, part 10 (https://martin.kopta.eu/blog/#2017-06-11-16-07-26) Prologue It is almost two years since I finished building Aeronix and it has served me well during that time. Only thing that ever broke was Noctua CPU fan, which I have replaced with the same model. However, for long time, I wanted to run Aeronix on OpenBSD instead of GNU/Linux Debian. Preparation I first experimented with RAID1 OpenBSD setup in VirtualBox, plugging and unplugging drives and learned that OpenBSD RAID1 is really smooth. When I finally got the courage, I copied all the data on two drives outside of Aeronix. One external HDD I regulary use to backup Aeronix and second internal drive in my desktop computer. Copying the data took about two afternoons. Aeronix usually has higher temperatures (somewhere around 55°C or 65°C depending on time of the year), and when stressed, it can go really high (around 75°C). During full speed copy over NFS and to external drive it went as high as 85°C, which made me a bit nervous. After the data were copied, I temporarily un-configured computers on local network to not touch Aeronix, plugged keyboard, display and OpenBSD 6.1 thumb drive. Installing OpenBSD 6.1 on full disk RAID1 was super easy. Configuring NFS Aeronix serves primarily as NAS, which means NFS and SMB. NFS is used by computers in local network with persistent connection (via Ethernet). SMB is used by other devices in local network with volatile connection (via WiFi). When configuring NFS, I expected similar configuration to what I had in Debian, but on OpenBSD, it is very different. However, after reading through exports(5), it was really easy to put it together. Putting the data back Copying from the external drive took few days, since the transfer speed was something around 5MB/s. I didn't really mind. It was sort of a good thing, because Aeronix wasn't overheating that way. I guess I need to figure new backup strategy though. One interesting thing happened with one of my local desktops. It was connecting Aeronix with default NFS mount options (on Archlinux) and had really big troubles with reading anything. Basically it behaved as if the network drive had horrible access times. After changing the default mount options, it started working perfectly. Conclusion Migrating to OpenBSD was way easier than I anticipated. There are various benefits like more security, realiable RAID1 setup (which I know how will work when drive dies), better documentation and much more. However, the true benefit for me is just the fact I like OpenBSD and makes me happy to have one more OpenBSD machine. On to the next two years of service!

Another exciting week on BSDNow, we are queued up with LLVM / Linking news, a look at NetBSD's scheduler, This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeBSD Kernel and World, and many Ports, can now be linked with lld (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23214#c40) “With this change applied I can link the entirety of the FreeBSD/amd64 base system (userland world and kernel) with LLD.” “Rafael's done an initial experimental Poudriere FreeBSD package build with lld head, and found almost 20K out of 26K ports built successfully. I'm now looking at getting CI running to test this on an ongoing basis. But, I think we're at the point where an experimental build makes sense.” Such testing will become much easier once llvm 4.0 is imported into -current “I suggest that during development we collect patches in a local git repo -- for example, I've started here for my Poudriere run https://github.com/emaste/freebsd-ports/commits/ports-lld” “It now looks like libtool is responsible for the majority of my failed / skipped ports. Unless we really think we'll add "not GNU" and other hacks to lld we're going to have to address libtool limitations upstream and in the FreeBSD tree. I did look into libtool a few weeks ago, but unfortunately haven't yet managed to produce a patch suitable for sending upstream.” If you are interested in LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB etc, check out: A Tourist's Guide to the LLVM Source Code (http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1453) *** Documenting NetBSD's scheduler tweaks (http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20170109_2108.html) A followup to our previous coverage of improvements to the scheduler in NetBSD “NetBSD's scheduler was recently changed to better distribute load of long-running processes on multiple CPUs. So far, the associated sysctl tweaks were not documented, and this was changed now, documenting the kern.sched sysctls.” kern.sched.cacheht_time (dynamic): Cache hotness time in which a LWP is kept on one particular CPU and not moved to another CPU. This reduces the overhead of flushing and reloading caches. Defaults to 3ms. Needs to be given in ``hz'' units, see mstohz(9). kern.sched.balance_period (dynamic): Interval at which the CPU queues are checked for re-balancing. Defaults to 300ms. kern.sched.min_catch (dynamic): Minimum count of migratable (runable) threads for catching (stealing) from another CPU. Defaults to 1 but can be increased to decrease chance of thread migration between CPUs. It is important to have good documentation for these tunables, so that users can understand what it is they are adjusting *** FreeBSD Network Gateway on EdgeRouter Lite (http://codeghar.com/blog/freebsd-network-gateway-on-edgerouter-lite.html) “EdgeRouter Lite is a great device to run at the edge of a home network. It becomes even better when it's running FreeBSD. This guide documents how to setup such a gateway. There are accompanying git repos to somewhat automate the process as well.” “Colin Percival has written a great blog post on the subject, titled FreeBSD on EdgeRouter Lite - no serial port required (http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2016-01-10-FreeBSD-EdgeRouter-Lite.html) . In it he provides and describes a shell script to build a bootable image of FreeBSD to be run on ERL, available from GitHub in the freebsd-ERL-build (https://github.com/cperciva/freebsd-ERL-build/) repo. I have built a Vagrant-based workflow to automate the building of the drive image. It's available on GitHub in the freebsd-edgerouterlite-ansible (https://github.com/hamzasheikh/freebsd-edgerouterlite-ansible) repo. It uses the build script Percival wrote.” “Once you've built the disk image it's time to write it to a USB drive. There are two options: overwrite the original drive in the ERL or buy a new drive. I tried the second option first and wrote to a new Sandrive Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ43-032G-GAM46). It did not work and I later found on some blog that those drives do not work. I have not tried another third party drive since.” The tutorial covers all of the steps, and the configuration files, including rc.conf, IP configuration, DHCP (and v6), pf, and DNS (unbound) “I'm pretty happy with ERL and FreeBSD. There is great community documentation on how to configure all the pieces of software that make a FreeBSD-based home network gateway possible. I can tweak things as needed and upgrade when newer versions become available.” “My plan on upgrading the base OS is to get a third party USB drive that works, write a newer FreeBSD image to it, and replace the drive in the ERL enclosure. This way I can keep a bunch of drives in rotation. Upgrades to newer builds or reverts to last known good version are as easy as swapping USB drives.” Although something more nanobsd style with 2 partitions on the one drive might be easier. “Configuration with Ansible means I don't have to manually do things again and again. As the configs change they'll be tracked in git so I get version control as well. ERL is simply a great piece of network hardware. I'm tempted to try Ubiquiti's WiFi products instead of a mixture of DD-WRT and OpenWRT devices I have now. But that is for another day and perhaps another blog post.” *** A highly portable build system targeting modern UNIX systems (https://github.com/michipili/bsdowl) An exciting new/old project is up on GitHub that we wanted to bring your attention to. BSD Owl is a highly portable build-system based around BSD Make that supports a variety of popular (and not so popular) languages, such as: C programs, compiled for several targets C libraries, static and shared, compiled for several targets Shell scripts Python scripts OCaml programs OCaml libraries, with ocamldoc documentation OCaml plugins TeX documents, prepared for several printing devices METAPOST figures, with output as PDF, PS, SVG or PNG, either as part of a TeX document or as standalone documents What about features you may ask? Well BSD Owl has plenty of those to go around: Support of compilation profiles Support of the parallel mode (at the directory level) Support of separate trees for sources and objects Support of architecture-dependant compilation options Support GNU autoconf Production of GPG-signed tarballs Developer subshell, empowered with project-specific scripts Literate programming using noweb Preprocessing with m4 As far as platform support goes, BSD Owl is tested on OSX / Debian Jesse and FreeBSD > 9. Future support for OpenBSD and NetBSD is planned, once they update their respective BSD Make binaries to more modern versions News Roundup find -delete in OpenBSD. Thanks to tedu@ OpenBSD will have this very handy flag to in the future. (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=148342051832692&w=2) OpenBSD's find(1) utility will now support the -delete operation “This option is not posix (not like that's stopped find accumulating a dozen extensions), but it is in gnu and freebsd (for 20 years). it's also somewhat popular among sysadmins and blogs, etc. and perhaps most importantly, it nicely solves one of the more troublesome caveats of find (which the man page actually covers twice because it's so common and easy to screw up). So I think it makes a good addition.” The actual code was borrowed from FreeBSD Using the -delete option is much more performant than forking rm once for each file, and safer because there is no risk of mangling path names If you encounter a system without a -delete option, your best bet is to use the -print0 option of find, which will print each filename terminated by a null byte, and pipe that into xargs -0 rm This avoids any ambiguity caused by files with spaces in the names *** New version of the Lumina desktop released (https://lumina-desktop.org/version-1-2-0-released/) Just in time to kickoff 2017 we have a new release of Lumina Desktop (1.2.0) Some of the notable changes include fixes to make it easier to port to other platforms, and some features: New Panel Plugins: “audioplayer” (panel version of the desktop plugin with the same name): Allows the user to load/play audio files directly through the desktop itself. “jsonmenu” (panel version of the menu plugin with the same name): Allows an external utility/script to be used to generate a menu/contents on demand. New Menu Plugins: “lockdesktop”: Menu option for instantly locking the desktop session. New Utilities: lumina-archiver: This is a pure Qt5 front-end to the “tar” utility for managing/creating archives. This can also use the dd utility to burn a “*.img” file to a USB device for booting.“ Looks like the news already made its rounds to a few different sites, with Phoronix and Softpedia picking it up as well Phoronix (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Lumina-1.2-Released) Softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/lumina-1-2-desktop-environments-launches-for-trueos-with-various-enhancements-511495.shtml) TrueOS users running the latest updates are already on the pre-release version of 1.2.1, so nothing has to be done there to get the latest and greatest. dd is not a disk writing tool (http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/blog/?p=479) “If you've ever used dd, you've probably used it to read or write disk images:” > # Write myfile.iso to a USB drive > dd if=myfile.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M “Usage of dd in this context is so pervasive that it's being hailed as the magic gatekeeper of raw devices. Want to read from a raw device? Use dd. Want to write to a raw device? Use dd. This belief can make simple tasks complicated. How do you combine dd with gzip? How do you use pv if the source is raw device? How do you dd over ssh?” “The fact of the matter is, dd is not a disk writing tool. Neither “d” is for “disk”, “drive” or “device”. It does not support “low level” reading or writing. It has no special dominion over any kind of device whatsoever.” Then a number of alternatives are discussed “However, this does not mean that dd is useless! The reason why people started using it in the first place is that it does exactly what it's told, no more and no less. If an alias specifies -a, cp might try to create a new block device rather than a copy of the file data. If using gzip without redirection, it may try to be helpful and skip the file for not being regular. Neither of them will write out a reassuring status during or after a copy.” “dd, meanwhile, has one job*: copy data from one place to another. It doesn't care about files, safeguards or user convenience. It will not try to second guess your intent, based on trailing slashes or types of files. When this is no longer a convenience, like when combining it with other tools that already read and write files, one should not feel guilty for leaving dd out entirely.” “dd is the swiss army knife of the open, read, write and seek syscalls. It's unique in its ability to issue seeks and reads of specific lengths, which enables a whole world of shell scripts that have no business being shell scripts. Want to simulate a lseek+execve? Use dd! Want to open a file with O_SYNC? Use dd! Want to read groups of three byte pixels from a PPM file? Use dd!” “It's a flexible, unique and useful tool, and I love it. My only issue is that, far too often, this great tool is being relegated to and inappropriately hailed for its most generic and least interesting capability: simply copying a file from start to finish.” “dd actually has two jobs: Convert and Copy. Legend has it that the intended name, “cc”, was taken by the C compiler, so the letters were shifted by one to give “dd”. This is also why we ended up with a Window system called X.” dd countdown (https://eriknstr.github.io/utils/dd-countdown.htm) *** Bhyve setup for tcp testing (https://www.strugglingcoder.info/index.php/bhyve-setup-for-tcp-testing/) FreeBSD Developer Hiren Panchasara writes about his setup to use bhyve to test changes to the TCP stack in FreeBSD “Here is how I test simple FreeBSD tcp changes with dummynet on bhyve. I've already wrote down how I do dummynet (https://www.strugglingcoder.info/index.php/drop-a-packet/) so I'll focus on bhyve part.” “A few months back when I started looking into improving FreeBSD TCP's response to packet loss, I looked around for traffic simulators which can do deterministic packet drop for me.” “I had used dummynet(4) before so I thought of using it but the problem is that it only provided probabilistic drops. You can specify dropping 10% of the total packets” So he wrote a quick hack, hopefully he'll polish it up and get it committed “Setup: I'll create 3 bhyve guests: client, router and server” “Both client and server need their routing tables setup correctly so that they can reach each other. The Dummynet node is the router / traffic shaping node here. We need to enable forwarding between interfaces: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1” “We need to setup links (called ‘pipes') and their parameters on dummynet node” “For simulations, I run a lighttpd web-server on the server which serves different sized objects and I request them via curl or wget from the client. I have tcpdump running on any/all of four interfaces involved to observe traffic and I can see specified packets getting dropped by dummynet. sysctl net.inet.ip.dummynet.iopktdrop is incremented with each packet that dummynet drops.” “Here, 192.* addresses are for ssh and 10.* are for guests to be able to communicate within themselves.” Create 2 tap interfaces for each end point, and 3 from the router. One each for SSH/control, and the others for the test flows. Then create 3 bridges, the first includes all of the control tap interfaces, and your hosts' real interface. This allows the guests to reach the internet to download packages etc. The other two bridges form the connections between the three VMs The creation and configuration of the VMs is documented in detail I used a setup very similar to this for teaching the basics of how TCP works when I was teaching at a local community college *** Beastie Bits Plan9 on Bhyve (https://twitter.com/pr1ntf/status/817895393824382976) Get your name in the relayd book (http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2832) Ted Unangst's 2016 Computer Reviews (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/2016-computer-review) Bryan Cantrill on Developer On Fire podcast (http://developeronfire.com/episode-198-bryan-cantrill-persistence-and-action) 2016 in review: pf/ipfw's impact on forwarding performance over time, on 8 core Atom (http://dev.bsdrp.net/benchs/2016.SM5018A-FTN4-Chelsio.png) #Wayland Weston with X and EGL clients, running on #FreeBSD in VBox with new scfb backend.
