One of the biggest downsides of consumer AI?It doesn't have up-to-date access to your enterprise data. Even as frontier labs work tirelessly to connect and integrate AI chatbots with your data, we're a far way off from that happening. Unless you're using a platform like IBM's watsonx. And if you are using watsonx, your go-to enterprise AI platform just got a TON more powerful. IBM just unveiled updates across its watson ecosystem at its Think 2025 conference. We've been here covering every step of it, so we're jumping into what you need to know.Newsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletterMore on this Episode: Episode PageJoin the discussion: Thoughts on this?

Be picky about who you recruit. They're the foundation of your business...   Today, I'm gonna teach you why you should not recruit everybody.   This one concept has been very challenging for me to get across to a lot of new MLM-ers. They have the inclination to recruit anything that has a heartbeat. I totally get it because we start thinking, "If I just got three people, and then they each got three people, and then they all got three people, the next big question I have to answer is, what island will I buy?"   There's two things I wanna show in this episode: Why you should not recruit anybody The things I make people go through when they're trying to join my downline   Yes, trying to join my downline.   WHO GETS TO JOIN MY DOWNLINE?   Imagine MLM as a whole.   The average person is recruiting two people. You better be recruiting some freaking rock stars!   There's no way that you're gonna go grow an asset if you’re only using the methods that MLM is teaching you to go do. There's just not.   Do you know what’s going to make your life easier? Get very focused on who you actually want.   There are multiple kinds of people inside of any MLM.   I want people who are already in MLM to join my downline.   I'm not leaving MLM. I'm telling people who are already in it, easier and better ways to recruit.   I'm NOT telling people who are NOT already in MLM to join my downline.     People still doing 9 to 5 that haven't left it People who have never tried anything else Someone who’s a complainer The person who’s started a small business People who are freelancers     I’m not trying to convince people. I’m not telling them to abandon what they’re doing. I’m not telling people to come and join my downline.   I want you to understand what I'm doing, and why my team kills it.   WHY I DON’T NEED TO RECRUIT ANYBODY   There are 18.2 million people actively in MLM in the USA alone.   Do you think all of them are happy? No.   Do you think all of them are being successful? No.   As with anything in life, some people make it and some people don’t.   Do you want to know the reason I recruit so much? I am not reaching out to those who are not already in MLM. I'm reaching to those are already in MLM.   I'm talking to people inside downlines. THERE ARE 18.2 MILLION OF THEM!     EXAMPLE: This guy right here.   He freaking hates what he’s doing. He knows that MLM is a good opportunity. He hates his MLM’s tactics. He hates that he can't get more people inside of his opportunity. He's seeing it sail without him in it. The ship is move, and he's not on board. He's trying so hard to get on board but no one is helping him.   That's who I sell. I sell the people inside of existing MLMs. I don't have to deal with stupid questions like, "Is it a pyramid scheme?"   I don't just recruit anybody that has a heartbeat.   I don't let anybody in just because they want to. I actually people through an application process. A real application. Right off the bat, I kill at least half the applications.   This year I’ve had 700 people asking to join my downline.   This is a business. I am not running it as a hobby. It is a business. They're going through an interview. If they want the assets that I have for them:   Prebuilt systems My connections My Rolodex   I'm gonna make it hard.   DON’T JUST RECRUIT ANYBODY   Just because they have the money…   Just because they are able…   Doesn't mean they're willing.   Just because they have the money doesn't mean that they are willing to go do what it takes.   The way that you bring people into your downline is so important. It determines how successful they'll be after they join you.   Imagine if anybody could join and get inside any country they want willy-nilly. Passport or not. That would cause massive issue.   Treat yourself like a country. I’M AN ISLAND, BABY!   You can't get on my island unless you have the right credentials.   I take a lot of people who are brand new. What I'm looking for is beliefs and mentalities. Their willingness to run forward.   I’ve got a quote on my wall that says, "Is this friend a growth friend or a maintenance friend?"   Is this person a growth friend or a maintenance friend?   MLM is a business, NOT A HOBBY! I do not take on a maintenance recruit. I only take on growth recruits.   Not everyone inside an MLM is created equal.   Not everyone has the same goals.   Not everyone has the same time.   Not everyone has the same backgrounds or skill sets.   IF MY MLM TOLD ME TO RECRUIT ANYBODY…   I flip the table on the script. I do exactly the opposite of what my MLM tells me to do.   "Go talk to everybody!" No.   "Go do phone meetings!" Absolutely not.   The last time I did any of that was in my first MLM. I HATED it and thought to myself, "I'm never doing this again. I'm gonna find another way to do this."   And I did.   Not everyone has the same ambition or audacity. If I let people join my downline really easily, they leave really easily. If I let people in, and there's no expectation, they’re not going to do anything.   I set precedents with the way I let people join my downline. Their attitudes have everything to do with the way I let them in my downline.   I don't make it easy to join my downline. I've had people complain about it, "Dude, I'm just trying to freaking join you." I'm like, "Yeah, I know. But I'm trying to see if you're a good fit for me." And they'd be like, "What are you talking about?"   I've had people get mad about it.   I have a recruiting funnel that automates the whole process. They even sign an NDA. No joke.   I'm about to give them a whole bunch of industry secrets. All the stuff that makes my processed work. They sign an NDA on the way in. You can actually check it out if you want to at joinmydownline.com. Joinmydownline.com. The largest oversight in all of the MLM industry. Why on earth was that domain available? I have no idea. joinmydownline.com was available. What?   We only recently added in an NDA. We were looking for ways to make it even more intense. We want serious applicants.   I'm not pitching you, okay. I just want you to take the same thing and put it in your downline.   This is some of the stuff I teach inside of Secret MLM Hacks. I've got this recruiting funnel. People go through a series of steps when they want to apply:   They're gonna fill out and sign the NDA They're gonna fill out the actual application on this step They're gonna watch a presentation from our team right here They're gonna download all the assets they need to start blowing it up   I don't take the human out of the machine.   The question I get most about this is, "Stephen, that's really cool that you built that. How do you get traffic to that?"   I only target people who are already in MLM. They love it. MLM's cool and I don’t need to convince them of that fact.   People ask me, "How do you get those people to see this page?"   HOW DO I GET PEOPLE TO JOIN MY DOWNLINE?   I want you to ask yourself these question:     Who do I want to join my downline? Who would be my dream recruit? What are they like? What are they not like?     That's the biggest mistake people make in the MLM game is to ask, who COULD I get.   You should be asking yourself, who SHOULD I get.   Who would be a key player? It might take a little bit longer to recruit them. You might have slower growth at the beginning. That's okay. You are building a ramp to launch off of. And it will explode.   Part of my rule is that people come to me. I do not force anybody to join my downline. When I look at my downline now, the quality of individuals is huge. I have 223 people in my downline from using that strategy.   I'm trying to teach you to do the same, not pressure you to join my downline. I don’t just recruit anybody. I make the act of joining my down line an offer.   I let people come to me. I do subtle drops in my podcast. I do subtle drops in other areas as well. When people want to, they can find me and follow me.   What I'm delivering is so valuable that people are drawn to me without over the top pitching.   It creates this desire, “I have got to get in freakin' Steve Larsen's down line."  I'm trying to teach you the same in your downline. I'm not pulling you into mine, okay? Go do it in yours.   Make the act of joining your downline attractive and sexy. Solved peoples problems that people will have after you recruit them. That will remove all their fears and the major issues that they have. They don't have stresses anymore when they're in your down line anymore.   Give them everything they need, "I got a system for my leads. Sweet. That's amazing. I have this whole other revenue stream coming in. I get paid to prospect. Holy smokes, look at this. I'm becoming an industry leader and people are coming up. What the heck?"   THE DOWNLINE LIGHT BULB MOMENT   I had this whole idea five years ago. I was sat on our couch in Rexburg, Idaho. I realized, “Good grief, no one's doing this.”   There's people that have come close, but nobody really teaches marketing. I don't mean Facebook ads. That's a way to market, but that's not marketing.     No one's teaching funnels No one's teaching become an attractive character No one's teaching go publish a lot     I launched the first version of Secret MLM Hacks a year and a half ago. I’ve had time to refine and improve my offer based on what the market told me. Figure out where your offer fits in the market. Who do you want to recruit? Don’t just recruit anybody.   You could recruit MLMer's who also like workout. You could appeal to MLMer's who also like investing. Don't just try and recruit the general MLMist. I don't want them in here. I want to attract extraordinary individuals and get them to join my downline.   Remember when you were normal? You weren't an entrepreneur. Remember how boring that was? Everything was in black and white? There's elevator music constantly playing in the background? Everything's sad.   Then you realize... Entrepreneurship! Oh Mylanta!   BE PICKY ABOUT WHO JOINS YOUR DOWNLINE     You guys are not normal people. You're not normal individuals, you understand? You get it. You see the vision.   Figure out who you want to join your downline. Get picky about it. Real picky! You're going to be spending time with these people. Lots of it. Get picky. Don't recruit anybody just because you could.   That was my first mistake in my first MLM. It sucked so bad.   Figure out what bait gets that kind of person.   They should be slightly hard to get a hold of They should be slightly hard to convince to come in to your group They should be people already in motion   You don’t want somebody who never had success before. That is a rough customer. Customers are not all created equal.   That's the big secret. It took me a couple years to nail down. I found a way to deliver it uniquely and bring them to me. That's what I'm trying to help you guys understand and teach and learn.   I sucked so bad at first. That’s what’s helped me to learn and grow as an MLMer.   I changed the story that was going on in my head. It changed my belief and what I did physically. It's one of the reasons I went into the army. It's one of the reasons I did MLM the first time.   I did door-to-door sales because it freaked me out! That's WHY I did it. I wanted to learn sales in the hardest environments. It was an active decision of mine.   Telemarketing. Freakin' hated it. I did it because of that.   You can all do it as well. I'm trying to develop you into attractive characters and leaders. I'm trying to develop you into individuals that people want to follow.   If you Google MLM funnels, my stuff's there. If you Google ClickFunnels, I'm ranking for that.   I had to be willing to develop. I had to be willing to suck. I had to be willing to publish while I sucked. And that's okay.

Wordpress themes are everywhere, there are so many choices available today including those as part of frameworks as well as stand-alones. They make life easy and you can save a lot of time and money. But should you use them? Would you be better served by getting a well optimised custom design? We discuss your options in today's episode. https://youtu.be/xy0eDdaRClQResources for this Episode Darryl: Hi I'm Daryl King and my co-host Ed Pelgen we're a couple of old internet guides have been running our online agencies for over 20 years we get together weekly to talk about all the things online especially for small and medium business owners who still refer through their bloody website each week we look at tackling a range of online issues and put them in plain language so anyone can understand how to make the websites work better for their businesses Ed this is episode 25 we're gonna touch on a whole lot of WordPress theme issues I believe how are you? Edmund: Very good and yourself Darryl? Darryl: yeah excellent mate excellent I reckon I reckon we should I want you to tell our audience some of the experiences you have with WordPress you've been hacking WordPress sites for 20 odd years or not quite that long hasn't always been around but and you and I chat sometimes when you have frustrations or things that have come Edmund: Yeah Darryl: along and over the last few years I've shake your view on that but I think you have insight probably quite similar to a lot of the people in the audience that are building sites on their own got people building them for them putting a lot of trust in the end result that they get and maybe you might have some insight how how do you go about handling making your WordPress look pretty Edmund: absolutely so my I guess my experience with WordPress is similar to a lot of other people who wanna get actively involved in building their sites right many years ago when I was a small business owner just starting out and I wanted to build a website I didn't have the budget to pay an expensive web developer or agency to build it for me and but I also had an interest in learning how to use it and you know WordPress was the choice the CMS the content management system of choice for startup type businesses and small businesses entrepreneurs and so I got into WordPress that way and the challenge was like everyone you wanted to make your website your business look good you wanted it to function well and you wanted it to make you look professional because there are a million in one really crappy looking WordPress websites out there and so my experience was you know basically because I don't have a design bone in my body but I know what I like led me to WordPress themes to to get the look and feel I guess that I was after to make me look bigger and better than I was I suppose and that's where it started Darryl: and going beyond that pathway and then look the environment has changed from the early days of WordPress to where we are now you know from a blogging platform we kind of skinned it and most people use the default to what we have now which is proper content management systems and I think with Gutenburg coming you know like in page editing the whole lot so it's changed a lot but what were the or what problems have you come across when you you know it's install a theme and then you didn't like it after a while change or what but but what things in general what problems have you come across with with getting a theme Edmund: well I mean I guess the first thing was that I would install a theme and back in the early days getting the configuring the theme was really challenging right back in the early days I don't think there were any default rules about how to do it and each developer had their own style or their own approach to building out the the content elements on the page and so as a business owner and I'm still new to this it was frustrating right some of the instructions weren't as good as th...

OpenBSD firewalling Windows 10, NetBSD’s return to ptrace, TCP Alternative Backoff, the BSD Poetic license, and AsiaBSDcon 2018 videos available. RSS Feeds: MP3 Feed | iTunes Feed | HD Vid Feed | HD Torrent Feed Become a supporter on Patreon: - Show Notes: - Headlines Preventing Windows 10 and untrusted software from having full access to the internet using OpenBSD Whilst setting up one of my development laptops to port some software to Windows I noticed Windows 10 doing crazy things like installing or updating apps and games by default after initial setup. The one I noticed in particular was Candy Crush Soda Saga which for those who don't know of it is some cheesy little puzzle game originally for consumer devices. I honestly did not want software like this near to a development machine. It has also been reported that Windows 10 now also updates core system software without notifying the user. Surely this destroys any vaguely deterministic behaviour, in my opinion making Windows 10 by default almost useless for development testbeds. Deciding instead to start from scratch but this time to set the inbuilt Windows Firewall to be very restrictive and only allow a few select programs to communicate. In this case all I really needed to be online was Firefox, Subversion and Putty. To my amusement (and astonishment) I found out that the Windows firewall could be modified to give access very easily by programs during installation (usually because this task needs to be done with admin privileges). It also seems that Windows store Apps can change the windows firewall settings at any point. One way to get around this issue could be to install a 3rd party firewall that most software will not have knowledge about and thus not attempt to break through. However the only decent firewall I have used was Sygate Pro which unfortunately is no longer supported by recent operating systems. The last supported versions was 2003, XP and 2000. In short, I avoid 3rd party firewalls. Instead I decided to trap Windows 10 (and all of it's rogue updaters) behind a virtual machine running OpenBSD. This effectively provided me with a full blown firewall appliance. From here I could then allow specific software I trusted through the firewall (via a proxy) in a safe, controlled and deterministic manner. For other interested developers (and security conscious users) and for my own reference, I have listed the steps taken here: 1) First and foremost disable the Windows DHCP service - this is so no IP can be obtained on any interface. This effectively stops any communication with any network on the host system. This can be done by running services.msc with admin privileges and stopping and disabling the service called DHCP Client. 2) Install or enable your favorite virtualization software - I have tested this with both VirtualBox and Hyper-V. Note that on non-server versions of Windows, in order to get Hyper-V working, your processor also needs to support SLAT which is daft so to avoid faffing about, I recommend using VirtualBox to get round this seemingly arbitrary restriction. 3) Install OpenBSD on the VM - Note, if you decide to use Hyper-V, its hardware support isn't 100% perfect to run OpenBSD and you will need to disable a couple of things in the kernel. At the initial boot prompt, run the following commands. config -e -o /bsd /bsd disable acpi disable mpbios 4) Add a host only virtual adapter to the VM - This is the one which we are going to connect through the VM with. Look at the IP that VirtualBox assigns this in network manager on the host machine. Mine was [b]192.168.56.1[/b]. Set up the adapter in the OpenBSD VM to have a static address on the same subnet. For example [b]192.168.56.2[/b]. If you are using Hyper-V and OpenBSD, make sure you add a "Legacy Interface" because no guest additions are available. Then set up a virtual switch which is host only. 5) Add a bridged adapter to the VM - then assign it to whichever interface you wanted to connect to the external network with. Note that if using Wireless, set the bridged adapters MAC address to the same as your physical device or the access point will reject it. This is not needed (or possible) on Hyper-V because the actual device is "shared" rather than bridged so the same MAC address is used. Again, if you use Hyper-V, then add another virtual switch and attach it to your chosen external interface. VMs in Hyper-V "share" an adapter within a virtual switch and there is the option to also disable the hosts ability to use this interface at the same time which is fine for an additional level of security if those pesky rogue apps and updaters can also enable / disable DHCP service one day which wouldn't be too surprising. 6) Connect to your network in the host OS - In case of Wireless, select the correct network from the list and type in a password if needed. Windows will probably say "no internet available", it also does not assign an IP address which is fine. 7) Install the Squid proxy package on the OpenBSD guest and enable the daemon ``` pkg_add squid echo 'squid_flags=""' >> /etc/rc.conf.local /etc/rc.d/squid start ``` We will use this service for a limited selection of "safe and trusted" programs to connect to the outside world from within the Windows 10 host. You can also use putty on the host to connect to the VM via SSH and create a SOCKS proxy which software like Firefox can also use to connect externally. 8) Configure the software you want to be able to access the external network with Firefox - go to the connection settings and specify the VMs IP address for the proxy. Subversion - modify the %HOME%AppDataRoamingSubversionservers file and change the HTTP proxy field to the VMs IP. This is important to communicate with GitHub via https:// (Yes, GitHub also supports Subversion). For svn:// addresses you can use Putty to port forward. Chromium/Chrome - unfortunately uses the global Windows proxy settings which defeats much of the purpose of this exercise if we were going to allow all of Windows access to the internet via the proxy. It would become mayhem again. However we can still use Putty to create a SOCKS proxy and then launch the browser with the following flags: --proxy-server="socks5://:" --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE " 9) Congratulations, you are now done - Admittedly this process can be a bit fiddly to set up but it completely prevents Windows 10 from making a complete mess. This solution is probably also useful for those who like privacy or don't like the idea of their software "phoning home". Hope you find this useful and if you have any issues, please feel free to leave questions in the comments. LLDB restoration and return to ptrace(2) I've managed to unbreak the LLDB debugger as much as possible with the current kernel and hit problems with ptrace(2) that are causing issues with further work on proper NetBSD support. Meanwhile, I've upstreamed all the planned NetBSD patches to sanitizers and helped other BSDs to gain better or initial support. LLDB Since the last time I worked on LLDB, we have introduced many changes to the kernel interfaces (most notably related to signals) that apparently fixed some bugs in Go and introduced regressions in ptrace(2). Part of the regressions were noted by the existing ATF tests. However, the breakage was only marked as a new problem to resolve. For completeness, the ptrace(2) code was also cleaned up by Christos Zoulas, and we fixed some bugs with compat32. I've fixed a crash in *NetBSD::Factory::Launch(), triggered on startup of the lldb-server application. Here is the commit message: ``` We cannot call process_up->SetState() inside the NativeProcessNetBSD::Factory::Launch function because it triggers a NULL pointer deference. The generic code for launching a process in: GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS::LaunchProcess sets the mdebuggedprocessup pointer after a successful call to mprocessfactory.Launch(). If we attempt to call processup->SetState() inside a platform specific Launch function we end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in NativeProcessProtocol::GetCurrentThreadID(). Use the proper call processup->SetState(,false) that sets notifydelegates to false. ``` Sanitizers I suspended development of new features in sanitizers last month, but I was still in the process of upstreaming of local patches. This process was time-consuming as it required rebasing patches, adding dedicated tests, and addressing all other requests and comments from the upstream developers. I'm not counting hot fixes, as some changes were triggering build or test issues on !NetBSD hosts. Thankfully all these issues were addressed quickly. The final result is a reduction of local delta size of almost 1MB to less than 100KB (1205 lines of diff). The remaining patches are rescheduled for later, mostly because they depend on extra work with cross-OS tests and prior integration of sanitizers with the basesystem distribution. I didn't want to put extra work here in the current state of affairs and, I've registered as a mentor for Google Summer of Code for the NetBSD Foundation and prepared Software Quality improvement tasks in order to outsource part of the labour. Userland changes I've also improved documentation for some of the features of NetBSD, described in man-pages. These pieces of information were sometimes wrong or incomplete, and this makes covering the NetBSD system with features such as sanitizers harder as there is a mismatch between the actual code and the documented code. Some pieces of software also require better namespacing support, these days mostly for the POSIX standard. I've fixed few low-hanging fruits there and requested pullups to NetBSD-8(BETA). I thank the developers for improving the landed code in order to ship the best solutions for users. BSD collaboration in LLVM A One-man-show in human activity is usually less fun and productive than collaboration in a team. This is also true in software development. Last month I was helping as a reviewer to port LLVM features to FreeBSD and when possible to OpenBSD. This included MSan/FreeBSD, libFuzzer/FreeBSD, XRay/FreeBSD and UBSan/OpenBSD. I've landed most of the submitted and reviewed code to the mainstream LLVM tree. Part of the code also verified the correctness of NetBSD routes in the existing porting efforts and showed new options for improvement. This is the reason why I've landed preliminary XRay/NetBSD code and added missing NetBSD bits to ToolChain::getOSLibName(). The latter produced setup issues with the prebuilt LLVM toolchain, as the directory name with compiler-rt goodies were located in a path like ./lib/clang/7.0.0/lib/netbsd8.99.12 with a varying OS version. This could stop working after upgrades, so I've simplified it to "netbsd", similar to FreeBSD and Solaris. Prebuilt toolchain for testers I've prepared a build of Clang/LLVM with LLDB and compiler-rt features prebuilt on NetBSD/amd64 v. 8.99.12: llvm-clang-compilerrt-lldb-7.0.0beta_2018-02-28.tar.bz2 Plan for the next milestone With the approaching NetBSD 8.0 release I plan to finish backporting a few changes there from HEAD: Remove one unused feature from ptrace(2), PTSETSIGMASK & PTGETSIGMASK. I've originally introduced these operations with criu/rr-like software in mind, but they are misusing or even abusing ptrace(2) and are not regular process debuggers. I plan to remove this operation from HEAD and backport this to NetBSD-8(BETA), before the release, so no compat will be required for this call. Future ports of criu/rr should involve dedicated kernel support for such requirements. Finish the backport of UCMACHINE_FP() to NetBSD-8. This will allow use of the same code in sanitizers in HEAD and NetBSD-8.0. By popular demand, improve the regnsub(3) and regasub(3) API, adding support for more or less substitutions than 10. Once done, I will return to ptrace(2) debugging and corrections. DigitalOcean Working with the NetBSD kernel Overview When working on complex systems, such as OS kernels, your attention span and cognitive energy are too valuable to be wasted on inefficiencies pertaining to ancillary tasks. After experimenting with different environmental setups for kernel debugging, some of which were awkward and distracting from my main objectives, I have arrived to my current workflow, which is described here. This approach is mainly oriented towards security research and the study of kernel internals. Before delving into the details, this is the general outline of my environment: My host system runs Linux. My target system is a QEMU guest. I’m tracing and debugging on my host system by attaching GDB (with NetBSD x86-64 ABI support) to QEMU’s built-in GDB server. I work with NetBSD-current. All sources are built on my host system with the cross-compilation toolchain produced by build.sh. I use NFS to share the source tree and the build artifacts between the target and the host. I find IDEs awkward, so for codebase navigation I mainly rely on vim, tmux and ctags. For non-intrusive instrumentation, such as figuring out control flow, I’m using dtrace. Preparing the host system QEMU GDB NFS Exports Building NetBSD-current A word of warning Now is a great time to familiarize yourself with the build.sh tool and its options. Be especially carefull with the following options: -r Remove contents of TOOLDIR and DESTDIR before building. -u Set MKUPDATE=yes; do not run "make clean" first. Without this, everything is rebuilt, including the tools. Chance are, you do not want to use these options once you’ve successfully built the cross-compilation toolchain and your entire userland, because building those takes time and there aren’t many good reasons to recompile them from scratch. Here’s what to expect: On my desktop, running a quad-core Intel i5-3470 at 3.20GHz with 24GB of RAM and underlying directory structure residing on a SSD drive, the entire process took about 55 minutes. I was running make with -j12, so the machine was quite busy. On an old Dell D630 laptop, running Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 at 2.20GHz with 4GB of RAM and a slow hard drive (5400RPM), the process took approximatelly 2.5 hours. I was running make with -j4. Based on the temperature alerts and CPU clock throttling messages, it was quite a struggle.

ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response. More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn The implementation introduces four new sysctls: net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections. net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.betaecn set the multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e. beta=50 and betaecn=80. net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore. The values of beta and betaecn can also be set per-connection by way of the TCPCCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CCNEWRENOBETA or CCNEWRENOBETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.

Once in Dunedin the hacking commenced. The background was a regular tick of new meltdown diffs to test in addition to whatever work one was actually engaged in. I was lucky (?) in that none of the problems with the various versions cropped up on my laptop. ``` ``` I worked with rpe@ and tb@ to make the install script create the 'correct' FQDN when dhclient was involved. I worked with tb@ on some code cleanup in various bits of the base. dhclient(8) got some nice cleanup, further pruning/improving log messages in particular. In addition the oddball -q option was flipped into the more normal -v. I.e. be quiet by default and verbose on request. More substantially the use of recorded leases was made less intrusive by avoiding continual reconfiguration of the interface with the same information. The 'request', 'require' and 'ignore' dhclient.conf(5) statement were changed so they are cumulative, making it easier to build longer lists of affected options. I tweaked softraid(4) to remove a handrolled version of duid_format(). I sprinkled a couple of M_WAITOK into amd64 and i386 mpbios to document that there is really no need to check for NULL being returned from some malloc() calls. I continued to help test the new filesystem quiescing logic that deraadt@ committed during the hackathon. I only locked myself out of my room once! Fueled by the excellent coffee from local institutions The Good Earth Cafe and The Good Oil Cafe, and the excellent hacking facilities and accommodations at the University of Otago it was another enjoyable and productive hackathon south of the equator. And I even saw penguins. Thanks to Jim Cheetham and the support from the project and the OpenBSD Foundation that made it all possible ``` Poetic License I found this when going through old documents.

It’s a redrafting of the BSD licence, in poetic form. Maybe I had plans to do other licences one day; I can’t remember. I’ve interleaved it with the original license text so you can see how true, or otherwise, I’ve been to it. Enjoy :-) ``` Copyright (c) , All rights reserved.

Developing websites is no easy task. But when you do it for every one of your 9,500 domain names, you start to get a system down. So David Wieland built his own system: PreBuilt.com.

Flash has had templates built-in, but none like this!  Now you can create a video presentation or your own web gallery in minutes all by using these new templates.

This week Lando and I are discussing a topic with two very different approaches, each of us being very familiar with one side. We're talking about the idea of buying or building a new computer, and the benefits and risks associated with going either way. Lando has a thorough history in the area of buying pre-built machines, and I have been building systems for years for not only myself but others. This isn't so much a "which route is better" discussion, but instead a study of the inherent factors that play into both choices. Because of the show length and the clear break where we switch from one topic to another, we've broken the show into 2 parts, this first one covering our standard pre-ramble and buying a pre-built computer. Enjoy the show and your holidays, whatever they may be! Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London
