Tom is taking a week off to care for his ailing German Shepherd. This week we will be doing a "Best of" series featuring highly rated previous episodes. Today's episode is Ad Tracking and Split Testing. *** Screen capture video is something that I'm pretty sure you'll want to embrace after you see all the cool stuff it will do for your business. And the very last segment is how I make really big money with it. Most people understand a basic screen capture. That's where you pretty much take a picture of what's displayed on your screen. You can even do it on cell phones by pressing a certain button combination. That's not what I'm talking about here. It's similar, but definitely not the same.

Good Friday morning, this is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, April 22nd, 2022. Let’s kick things off with a question… are you registered for the CrossPoltiic Liberty Tour’s final stop? I know, say it isn’t so! I know folks, I know, but we gotta get ready for our conference in Knoxville. But, if you want to see us in Phoenix Arizona, on May 19th, you can register at crosspolitic.com/libertytour. Tickets will go fast, especially because I spent all day yesterday reaching out to club members in Arizona. We’ll be joined by Jeff Durbin, and Delano Squires, as we discuss The Five Stones of True Freedom. Doesn’t that just scream MERICAN? Anyways, in other news, CNN+ is off to a great start. Let’s see how it’s going. Car Jumps Off Cliff Meme-Play Video 0:00-0:06 Oh yikes… CNN+ is actually shutting down after less than a month after it’s launch. https://nypost.com/2022/04/21/cnn-is-shutting-down-less-than-a-month-after-ill-fated-launch/ According to the New York Post, CNN boss Chris Licht, who officially starts his new job on May 1, told staffers at a midday meeting Thursday that “this was an incredibly successful launch” but that it wasn’t compatible with Warner Bros Discovery’s new plans, according to a report by CNN. “It’s not your fault that you had the rug pulled out from underneath you,” Licht said, the network reported. According to CNN, Andrew Morse, the executive vice president in charge of CNN+ and all of CNN’s digital businesses, will depart the company. The report said that during the meeting, CEO and president of Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming and interactive entertainment, JB Perrette expressed frustration with CNN’s “prior leadership,” which was led by Jeff Zucker until February, and WarnerMedia, which was led by Jason Kilar until early April. I guess Jeff Zucker had other things on his mind at the time. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/business/media/jeff-zucker-cnn.html - Screen Capture title of article. Licht circulated a memo obtained by The Post ahead of a midday meeting thanking them for “flawlessly launching CNN+ in a very short period of time.” He added that as part of the transition, all CNN+ employees will continue to be paid and receive benefits for the next 90 days and are encouraged to explore job openings at CNN, CNN Digital, and elsewhere in the Warner Bros. Discovery family. At the end of that period, departing CNN+ employees will receive a minimum of six-months severance, depending on length of service at CNN. The few who had subscribed to CNN+ will receive prorated refunds of the $5.99 a month subscription fee, the company said. Prior to Thursday’s decision, the future of CNN+ was in doubt as new corporate parent Warner Bros. Discovery was looking to cut costs and reorganize the company. Warner Bros. Discovery, which formed last week out of the merger between Discovery and WarnerMedia, is in the process of shoring up at least $3 billion in cost savings in 2023. Under previous ownership, CNN+ execs were hoping to attract 2 million subscribers in the first year and 15 million to 18 million over four years, Axios said. Roughly $300 million has been spent and hundreds of jobs have been created to support the streaming service to date. Dime Payments Dime Payments is a Christian owned processing payment business.

Some say the feds should have a relatively large role while others say it should be relatively small. But while most people believe there should be at least some federal oversight, some believe there should be none at all. Rep. Thomas Massie is one of those who believes there should be no federal involvement in education, and he is actively working to make that a reality. In February 2021, he introduced H.R. 899, a bill that perfectly encapsulates his views on this issue. It consists of one sentence: This bill terminates the Department of Education on December 31, 2022. Massie is not alone. The bill had eight cosponsors when it was introduced and has been gaining support ever since. On Monday, Massie announced that Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) decided to cosponsor the bill, bringing the total number of cosponsors to 18. Massie is echoing sentiments expressed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, who advocated dismantling the Department of Education even though it had just begun operating in 1980. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-house-passes-bill-stripping-disney-of-self-governing-status Florida House passes bill stripping Disney of self governing status The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would dissolve Walt Disney World’s special governing power in the state. The move could have huge tax implications for Disney, whose series of theme parks have transformed Orlando into one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, and serves to further sour the relationship between the Republican-led government and a major political player in the state. Democratic lawmakers could be heard shouting in the background as they attempted to protest the bill as it was passed. https://twitter.com/i/status/1517189688523689985 - Play Video Leftists once again proving that they are the party of tolerance and acceptance. The bill will now head to the desk of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis who has been involved in a war of words with the company after it publicly opposed a bill he signed which prohibits classroom instruction on "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" with children in third grade or younger "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards." The passage in the Florida House comes the day after the Florida Senate passed the measure by a vote of 23-16 to dissolve Disney's special status that it was granted by the state over 50 years ago. The special status, known as The Reedy Creek Improvement Act, was signed into law in May 1967 by Gov. Claude Kirk in response to lobbying efforts by Disney. The entertainment giant proposed building a recreation-oriented development on 25,000 acres of property in a remote area of Central Florida's Orange and Osceola counties, which consisted of 38.5 square miles of largely uninhabited pasture and swampland. Orange and Osceola County did not have the services or resources needed to bring the project to life, so the state legislature worked with Disney to establish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special taxing district that allows the company to act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government. This year our national conference is in Knoxville, TN October 6th-8th. The theme of this year’s conference is Lies, Propaganda, Storytelling and the Serrated Edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVIDpanic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and to grab more power. Because Christians have not been reading their bibles, we are susceptible to lies and weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us His word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God’s word, its serrated edge and all. Mark your calendars for October 6th-8th, as we fight, laugh and feast with fellowship, beer and Psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, hanging with our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and more. Early bird tickets are on sale until June 1st. https://www.theepochtimes.com/a-staggering-number-of-athletes-collapsed-this-past-year_4413773.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Now it’s on to sports… where… A Staggering Number of Athletes Collapsed This Past Year I wonder what could have caused that? Well according to the Epoch Times, More than 769 athletes have collapsed on the field during a game from March 2021 to March 2022. The shocking statistic was revealed by One America News Network (OAN), which also found the average age of the athletes who suffered cardiac arrest is just 23 years old.[1] The unprecedented surge in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes coincides with the rollout of COVID-19 jabs. In the article, which is linked in the show notes, there is a 42-minute video of an interview with English Football legend and broadcaster, Matt Le Tissier, who was of course, labeled an “anti-vaxxer” for even daring to question the narrative. Here’s the first minute or so of that video. https://rumble.com/vtsp9u-matt-le-tissier-on-the-record-oracle-films.html - Play 0:00-1:05. The Miami Open made headlines in early April 2022 after 15 players — all of whom had reportedly received COVID-19 injections[2] — dropped out. Among them were favorites Paula Badosa and Jannik Sinner. Badosa left the court in tears after becoming unwell, and Sinner’s opponent said he saw him “bend over” on the court, noting “it was very strange.”[3] Even the fans were confused, with one stating, “What is going on?”[4] As Pearson Sharp of OAN explained, “These are just two of more than 769 athletes who have collapsed during a game, on the field, over the last year.” He continued:[5] “How many 23-year-old athletes were collapsing and suffering heart attacks before this year? Do you know any 23-year-old people who had heart attacks before now? And these are just the ones we know about. How many have gone unreported? Nearly 800 athletes — young, fit people in the prime of life — falling down on the field. In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago. Coincidence? When the Pfizer vaccine is known to cause heart inflammation? No. In fact, many doctors treating these players list their injuries and deaths as being directly caused by the vaccine … This is not a coincidence.” As of April 1, 2022, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is where adverse events caused by COVID-19 jabs in the U.S. are supposed to be collected, lists 26,693 deaths along with 147,677 hospitalizations in association with the COVID-19 shot.[6] There are also 13,677 heart attacks and 38,024 cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue sac surrounding the heart). Myocarditis and pericarditis cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath and a fluttering or pounding heart. Cases have occurred most often after mRNA COVID-19 injections (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults, according to the CDC. Further, myocarditis occurs more often after the second injection, usually within a week.[7] Past investigations have shown only between 1%[8] and 10%[9] of adverse reactions are ever reported to VAERS, which is a passive, voluntary reporting system, so the actual number could be much higher. Kyle Warner is one athlete who filed a VAERS report about his own health injuries following the COVID-19 jab. It took him 45 minutes to complete — a length of time that many doctors can’t or won’t devote when it comes to reporting adverse vaccine reactions seen among their patients. Warner, who is 29 years old, was at the peak of his career as a professional mountain bike racer when, in June 2021, he got his second dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot. He suffered a reaction so severe that, months later, he was still spending days in bed, easily overwhelmed by too much mental or physical exertion. When asked about it, he said, “I believe where there is risk, there needs to be choice,” Instead, “People are being coerced into making a decision based on lack of information versus being convinced of a decision based on total information transparency.”[11] Despite the rising number of adverse effects being reported in VAERS, top government officials, such as NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, have attempted to discredit it. There are Unprecedented Cases of Athletes Collapsing and Dying. By December 2021, 300 reports of athletes collapsing, and some dying, had already been collected,[18] including high-profile European Soccer star Adama Traore, who clutched his chest and collapsed on the field. An updated report by Good Sciencing, a team of investigators, news editors, journalists and “truth seekers,” has detailed 890 cardiac arrests and other serious issues among athletes, including 579 deaths, following COVID-19 shots. Even the main-stream media in Australia questioned the COVID Vaccines after a https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1513542808531046409 -Play Video “We’re not anti-vaxxers” they said… The video is from a mainstream sports channel in Australia,[22] detailing another professional athlete, Ollie Wines, who is out of the game due to nausea, dizziness and heart palpitations. With cases like this becoming impossible to ignore, the “Sunday Footy Show” panel speculated that the health issues could be linked to COVID-19 shots, and one of the hosts acknowledged that multiple players have suffered from heart issues and Bell’s palsy following COVID-19 booster shots. “Wards filled with people suffering the same issues,” he said.

Do you know any 23-year-old people who had heart attacks before now? And these are just the ones we know about. How many have gone unreported? Nearly 800 athletes — young, fit people in the prime of life — falling down on the field. In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago. Coincidence? When the Pfizer vaccine is known to cause heart inflammation? No. In fact, many doctors treating these players list their injuries and deaths as being directly caused by the vaccine … This is not a coincidence.” As of April 1, 2022, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is where adverse events caused by COVID-19 jabs in the U.S. are supposed to be collected, lists 26,693 deaths along with 147,677 hospitalizations in association with the COVID-19 shot.[6] There are also 13,677 heart attacks and 38,024 cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue sac surrounding the heart). Myocarditis and pericarditis cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath and a fluttering or pounding heart. Cases have occurred most often after mRNA COVID-19 injections (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults, according to the CDC. Further, myocarditis occurs more often after the second injection, usually within a week.[7] Past investigations have shown only between 1%[8] and 10%[9] of adverse reactions are ever reported to VAERS, which is a passive, voluntary reporting system, so the actual number could be much higher. Kyle Warner is one athlete who filed a VAERS report about his own health injuries following the COVID-19 jab. It took him 45 minutes to complete — a length of time that many doctors can’t or won’t devote when it comes to reporting adverse vaccine reactions seen among their patients. Warner, who is 29 years old, was at the peak of his career as a professional mountain bike racer when, in June 2021, he got his second dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot. He suffered a reaction so severe that, months later, he was still spending days in bed, easily overwhelmed by too much mental or physical exertion. When asked about it, he said, “I believe where there is risk, there needs to be choice,” Instead, “People are being coerced into making a decision based on lack of information versus being convinced of a decision based on total information transparency.”[11] Despite the rising number of adverse effects being reported in VAERS, top government officials, such as NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, have attempted to discredit it. There are Unprecedented Cases of Athletes Collapsing and Dying. By December 2021, 300 reports of athletes collapsing, and some dying, had already been collected,[18] including high-profile European Soccer star Adama Traore, who clutched his chest and collapsed on the field. An updated report by Good Sciencing, a team of investigators, news editors, journalists and “truth seekers,” has detailed 890 cardiac arrests and other serious issues among athletes, including 579 deaths, following COVID-19 shots. Even the main-stream media in Australia questioned the COVID Vaccines after a https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1513542808531046409 -Play Video “We’re not anti-vaxxers” they said… The video is from a mainstream sports channel in Australia,[22] detailing another professional athlete, Ollie Wines, who is out of the game due to nausea, dizziness and heart palpitations. With cases like this becoming impossible to ignore, the “Sunday Footy Show” panel speculated that the health issues could be linked to COVID-19 shots, and one of the hosts acknowledged that multiple players have suffered from heart issues and Bell’s palsy following COVID-19 booster shots. “Wards filled with people suffering the same issues,” he said.

Hi all, this is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Monday, April 18th, 2022. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with you and yours’ so let’s see what happened with the news while we were away. First, in his last news brief on Friday, Pastor Toby Sumpter went over a new abortion ban bill that has been signed in Oklahoma. Well later that same day, Florida Governor Ron Desantis got in on the action as well, by signing House Bill 5, which bans abortions after the 15-week mark. https://www.npr.org/2022/04/14/1084485963/florida-abortion-law-15-weeks Governor DeSantis released a statement saying: “House Bill 5 protects babies in the womb who have beating hearts, who can move, who can taste, who can see, and who can feel pain. Life is a sacred gift worthy of our protection, and I am proud to sign this great piece of legislation which represents the most significant protections for life in the state's modern history." The new Florida law, which takes effect July 1, will replace a previous one that allowed abortions until 24 weeks of pregnancy. The new 15-week ban does not make exceptions for cases of incest, rape or human trafficking. It does allow an abortion if it would save the life of a pregnant person or prevent serious injury to them. Yeah, believe it or not, it’s not okay to murder a baby just because the child was created through terrible circumstances. Now of course, murderous dictator, or rather, Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson, had to release her own statement, saying: "We've entered a dangerous time for Floridians' reproductive freedom. In just a few months, thousands of pregnant people in Florida will no longer be able to access the care they need without leaving their state. The supporters of this bill have put their own political ambitions and beliefs before the health and futures of their constituents." I think the term or phrase you’re looking for Alexis, is “the supporters of this bill want to save babies from being slaughtered.” Now, it should be noted that this bill definitely doesn’t go far enough. Until all abortions are made illegal in this country, at ANY period, not just the 15-week mark, but, the winds seem to be shifting in a favorable direction, across the country. Our nation needs to fall on it’s knees in repentance to our creator, but our nation’s pride refuses to buckle. It’s comical really, as we’ve all seen how prideful nations’ end up in the Bible… Speaking of which, Not so long ago, the American dream was alive and well. Employees who worked hard were rewarded, and employers looked for people who could do the job, not for people who had the right political views. RedBalloon.work (www.redballoon.work/flf/) is a job site designed to get us back to what made American businesses successful: free speech, hard work, and having fun. If you are a free speech employer who wants to hire employees who focus on their work and not identity politics, then post a job on RedBalloon. If you are an employee who is being censored at work or is being forced to comply with the current zeitgeist, post your resume on RedBalloon and look for a new job. www.redballoon.work/flf/, the job site where free speech is still alive! www.redballoon.work/flf/ Musk says Twitter board will be paid nothing if he acquires the company https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/18/musk-twitter-board-will-be-paid-nothing-if-he-acquires-the-company.html Elon Musk said Monday that Twitter’s board of directors won’t be compensated for serving if he acquires the company. “Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that’s ~$3M/year saved right there,” Musk said in a tweet. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1516056299376623626?s=20&t=z3XQXE3sYv2qJjpRDIRjAA -Show Tweet It’s not clear who would be appointed to serve the board of a Musk-owned Twitter. Currently, Twitter spends about $2.9 million in cash and stock awards to board members, according to a filing with the SEC. Executives do not receive additional compensation for their seats, so that does not include payments for CEO Parag Agrawal and former chief Jack Dorsey. As Toby reported on Friday, Elon Musk made a $43 billion bid for Twitter. In response, Twitter adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan, often referred to as a “poison pill,” in an effort to fend off a potential hostile takeover. This “poison pill'' is basically a limited duration shareholder rights plan that would allow shareholders to buy stock at a discount if any one person or entity amasses at least 15% of outstanding common stock without the board’s prior approval. Musk recently revealed a more than 9% stake in the company before his takeover bid. Musk may also be considering a potential tender offer to Twitter shareholders to take control of the company. Musk has argued Twitter needs to be “transformed” into a private company so it can become a forum for free speech. He also said that Twitter’s board members’ interests “are simply not aligned with shareholders” and that the board “owns almost no shares” of the company. Even former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has gotten in on the action, as he criticized the company’s board in a series of tweets on Sunday. Responding to another Twitter user describing the “plots and coups” that played out early on in the history of Twitter’s board, Dorsey replied, “it’s consistently been the dysfunction of the company.” https://twitter.com/jack/status/1515549577352564740 -Show Tweet Earlier, he responded to another tweet in the same thread. It quoted venture capitalist Fred Destin citing what he called a “Silicon Valley proverb”: “Good boards don’t create good companies, but a bad board will kill a company every time.” Dorsey responded, “big facts.” Dorsey still sits on Twitter’s board but plans to leave once his term expires at the 2022 meeting of shareholders, which is scheduled for late May. Cori Bush surpasses $300K spent on private security as she continues calls to defund the police https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cori-bush-surpasses-300k-spent-private-security-she-continues-calls-defund-police Bush’s campaign has dropped another $70 thousand on private security in 2022 alone… and it’s only April by the way… Bush's newest security checks follow the $233,663 her committee spent on the services in 2021, FEC records show. She has now paid out $304,152 for security this election cycle. Here’s a brief clip of her talking saying the part that she shouldn’t say outloud: https://twitter.com/i/status/1423257378993147907 -Play Video Now, if what she said is true, and there have been attempts made on her life, then that’s terrible… but who is she going to call exactly if another attempt were to occur? Untrained social workers who definitely don’t have the capabilities to deal with a dangerous individual? No, she wants the police gone for us plebeians, but she can rely on her $300 thousand security team. So this begs the question… do our African American brothers and sisters really want the police defunded? Well according to a 2020 Gallup poll, in the height of Black Lives Matter, which by the way, we don’t hear that phrase much anymore, because the mob has shifted focus on sexually grooming our kids, but anyways, the poll said When asked whether they want the police to spend more time, the same amount of time or less time than they currently do in their area, most Black Americans -- 61% -- want the police presence to remain the same. This is similar to the 67% of all U.S. adults preferring the status quo, including 71% of White Americans. Meanwhile, nearly equal proportions of Black Americans say they would like the police to spend more time in their area (20%) as say they'd like them to spend less time there (19%). https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx - Screen Capture first graph You see, Cori Bush really isn’t listening to those in her communities. Because believe it or not, more of a police presence, typically means, less criminals roaming the streets… who’d have thought?

Back to race relations… Public Library Hosts a Dance Class for the Elderly — No Whites Allowed https://redstate.com/alexparker/2022/04/17/public-library-hosts-a-dance-class-for-the-elderly-no-whites-allowed-n551605 Doesn’t that just warm your heart? These days — not wholly dissimilar to seventy years ago — segregation is all the rage. And at Wisconsin’s Madison Public Library, they’re keeping things contemporary. Therefore, the library’s offering an elderly Movement & Meditation class with a ban on white people. Per an online announcement, sessions will be held in May at both Goodman South Madison Library and Meadowridge Library. Here’s what the nonwhites will enjoy: Movement & Meditation is a movement class where elements of mindfulness and movement intersect for one hour! … Adaptable movements will be shared for all abilities. … Notebooks and writing materials will be provided. This is an invitation to get to know your community while learning more about dance, movement and mindfulness. The library evidently takes the increasingly popular position that “community” regards those who share a shade of skin. And as for getting to know one’s “community,” that might include transgender individuals: All identities, skill levels, and capabilities are encouraged and welcomed. But if you identify as white, it’s a no-go: This program is intended for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) seniors 55+. Space is limited, so register to reserve your spot… For those of you who don’t know what BIPOC means, you’re a bigot and you’re triggering me, where’s Kyle from the Bee when you need him? The Caucasian-free foray is “presented by KLJ Movement.” The end of each class “will include time for reflection and connection.” Might anyone reflect on the idea that segregation is antithetical to much-needed national unity? It’s doubtfully on the docket. But at least they’ll be connecting — with the past: https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1319673465809453058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1319673465809453058%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Falexparker%2F2022%2F04%2F17%2Fpublic-library-hosts-a-dance-class-for-the-elderly-no-whites-allowed-n551605 -Neil, can you show these in a side-by-side? Moving on, it’s time for this day in history. By the way, my mom called me out for not mentioning her birthday last Monday while doing on this day in history, so happy belated birthday mom! Love you! What a great son I am… anyways, On to a big day in our nation’s history, April 18th, American Revolution: George Washington issues General Order announcing the end of hostilities with Britain, giving thanks to the Almighty, and offering congratulations and authorizing an extra ration of alcohol to the troops to celebrate. I have a feeling Washington would have an aneurysm seeing the state of our nation. Earlier in that same week, on April 11th, 1783, Hostilities formally cease in the American Revolutionary War, and on the 15th, the Continental Congress ratified preliminary articles of peace, ending the seven-year-long war with Great Britain.

Screen Capture from Class Demo Video Paula Rebsom describes herself as an Artist, Mother, Educator, and Trickster. All of these identities inform her interdisciplinary visual art practice which includes making sculptures from wood and fabric, site-specific installations, and image-based work using motion-sensor cameras. She's always had an interest in science, specifically wildlife ecology, and applies elements of that into her work. Born and raised in Southwest North Dakota she spent a great deal of time exploring nature and learning to sew and craft. Much of her work after grad school was situated outdoors and used motion-sensor cameras to document animal interactions with site-specific installations. Becoming a mother 6 years ago radically shifted her practice. No longer able to spend extended periods of time in remote locations, she returned to sewing, making quilts in order to process the raw emotions she was experiencing as a new mother. She is currently returning towards more image-based surveillance work by documenting the flora and fauna using her backyard and neighborhood greenspaces as installation sites. She is currently full-time faculty in the art department at North Seattle College. Her work has been exhibited across the US, including group shows in New York City, Philadelphia, Miami, and Los Angeles, along with solo exhibitions at The Art Gym in Portland, OR, Gallery of Contemporary Art in Colorado Springs and SOIL Gallery in Seattle.

Screen capture video is something that I’m pretty sure you’ll want to embrace after you see all the cool stuff it will do for your business. And the very last segment is how I make really big money with it. Most people understand a basic screen capture. That’s where you pretty much take a picture of what’s displayed on your screen. You can even do it on cell phones by pressing a certain button combination. That’s not what I’m talking about here. It’s similar, but definitely not the same.

We recap EuroBSDcon in Paris, tell the story behind a pf PR, and show you how to do screencasting with OpenBSD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Recap of EuroBSDcon 2017 in Paris, France (https://2017.eurobsdcon.org) EuroBSDcon was held in Paris, France this year, which drew record numbers this year. With over 300 attendees, it was the largest BSD event I have ever attended, and I was encouraged by the higher than expected number of first time attendees. The FreeBSD Foundation held a board meeting on Wednesday afternoon with the members who were in Paris. Topics included future conferences (including a conference kit we can mail to people who want to represent FreeBSD) and planning for next year. The FreeBSD Devsummit started on Thursday at the beautiful Mozilla Office in Paris. After registering and picking up our conference bag, everyone gathered for a morning coffee with lots of handshaking and greeting. We then gathered in the next room which had a podium with microphone, screens as well as tables and chairs. After developers sat down, Benedict opened the devsummit with a small quiz about France for developers to win a Mogics Power Bagel (https://www.mogics.com/?page_id=3824). 45 developers participated and DES won the item in the end. After introductions and collecting topics of interest from everyone, we started with the Work in Progress (WIP) session. The WIP session had different people present a topic they are working on in 7 minute timeslots. Topics ranged from FreeBSD Forwarding Performance, fast booting options, and a GELI patch under review to attach multiple providers. See their slides on the FreeBSD wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/DevSummit/201709). After lunch, the FreeBSD Foundation gave a general update on staff and funding, as well as a more focused presentation about our partnership with Intel. People were interested to hear what was done so far and asked a few questions to the Intel representative Glenn Weinberg. After lunch, developers worked quietly on their own projects. The mic remained open and occasionally, people would step forward and gave a short talk without slides or motivated a discussion of common interest. The day concluded with a dinner at a nice restaurant in Paris, which allowed to continue the discussions of the day. The second day of the devsummit began with a talk about the CAM-based SDIO stack by Ilya Bakulin. His work would allow access to wifi cards/modules on embedded boards like the Raspberry Pi Zero W and similar devices as many of these are using SDIO for data transfers. Next up was a discussion and Q&A session with the FreeBSD core team members who were there (missing only Benno Rice, Kris Moore, John Baldwin, and Baptiste Daroussin, the latter being busy with conference preparations). The new FCP (FreeBSD community proposals) were introduced for those who were not at BSDCan this year and the hows and whys about it. Allan and I were asked to describe our experiences as new members of core and we encouraged people to run for core when the next election happens. After a short break, Scott Long gave an overview of the work that's been started on NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Architecture), what the goals of the project are and who is working on it. Before lunch, Christian Schwarz presented his work on zrepl, a new ZFS replication solution he developed using Go. This sparked interest in developers, a port was started (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12462) and people suggested to Christian that he should submit his talk to AsiaBSDcon and BSDCan next year. Benedict had to leave before lunch was done to teach his Ansible tutorial (which was well attended) at the conference venue. There were organized dinners, for those two nights, quite a feat of organization to fit over 100 people into a restaurant and serve them quickly. On Saturday, there was a social event, a river cruise down the Seine. This took the form of a ‘standing' dinner, with a wide selection of appetizer type dishes, designed to get people to walk around and converse with many different people, rather than sit at a table with the same 6-8 people. I talked to a much larger group of people than I had managed to at the other dinners. I like having both dinner formats. We would also like to thank all of the BSDNow viewers who attended the conference and made the point of introducing themselves to us. It was nice to meet you all.

Next year, EuroBSDcon will be in Bucharest, Romania. *** The story of PR 219251 (https://www.sigsegv.be//blog/freebsd/PR219251) The actual story I wanted Kristof to tell, the pf bug he fixed at the Essen Hackathon earlier this summer. As I threatened to do in my previous post, I'm going to talk about PR 219251 for a bit. The bug report dates from only a few months ago, but the first report (that I can remeber) actually came from Shawn Webb on Twitter, of all places Despite there being a stacktrace it took quite a while (nearly 6 months in fact) before I figured this one out. It took Reshad Patuck managing to distill the problem down to a small-ish test script to make real progress on this. His testcase meant that I could get core dumps and experiment. It also provided valuable clues because it could be tweaked to see what elements were required to trigger the panic. This test script starts a (vnet) jail, adds an epair interface to it, sets up pf in the jail, and then reloads the pf rules on the host. Interestingly the panic does not seem to occur if that last step is not included. Obviously not the desired behaviour, but it seems strange. The instances of pf in the jails are supposed to be separate. We try to fetch a counter value here, but instead we dereference a bad pointer. There's two here, so already we need more information. Inspection of the core dump reveals that the state pointer is valid, and contains sane information. The rule pointer (rule.ptr) points to a sensible location, but the data is mostly 0xdeadc0de. This is the memory allocator being helpful (in debug mode) and writing garbage over freed memory, to make use-after-free bugs like this one easier to find. In other words: the rule has been free()d while there was still a state pointing to it. Somehow we have a state (describing a connection pf knows about) which points to a rule which no longer exists. The core dump also shows that the problem always occurs with states and rules in the default vnet (i.e. the host pf instance), not one of the pf instances in one of the vnet jails. That matches with the observation that the test script does not trigger the panic unless we also reload the rules on the host. Great, we know what's wrong, but now we need to work out how we can get into this state. At this point we're going to have to learn something about how rules and states get cleaned up in pf. Don't worry if you had no idea, because before this bug I didn't either. The states keep a pointer to the rule they match, so when rules are changed (or removed) we can't just delete them. States get cleaned up when connections are closed or they time out. This means we have to keep old rules around until the states that use them expire. When rules are removed pfunlinkrule() adds then to the Vpfunlinkedrules list (more on that funny V prefix later). From time to time the pf purge thread will run over all states and mark the rules that are used by a state. Once that's done for all states we know that all rules that are not marked as in-use can be removed (because none of the states use it). That can be a lot of work if we've got a lot of states, so pfpurgethread() breaks that up into smaller chuncks, iterating only part of the state table on every run. We iterate over all of our virtual pf instances (VNETFOREACH()), check if it's active (for FreeBSD-EN-17.08, where we've seen this code before) and then check the expired states with pfpurgeexpiredstates(). We start at state 'idx' and only process a certain number (determined by the PFTMINTERVAL setting) states. The pfpurgeexpiredstates() function returns a new idx value to tell us how far we got. So, remember when I mentioned the odd V_ prefix? Those are per-vnet variables. They work a bit like thread-local variables. Each vnet (virtual network stack) keeps its state separate from the others, and the V_ variables use a pointer that's changed whenever we change the currently active vnet (say with CURVNETSET() or CURVNETRESTORE()). That's tracked in the 'curvnet' variable. In other words: there are as many Vpfvnetactive variables as there are vnets: number of vnet jails plus one (for the host system). Why is that relevant here? Note that idx is not a per-vnet variable, but we handle multiple pf instances here. We run through all of them in fact. That means that we end up checking the first X states in the first vnet, then check the second X states in the second vnet, the third X states in the third and so on and so on. That of course means that we think we've run through all of the states in a vnet while we really only checked some of them. So when pfpurgeunlinkedrules() runs it can end up free()ing rules that actually are still in use because pfpurgethread() skipped over the state(s) that actually used the rule. The problem only happened if we reloaded rules in the host, because the active ruleset is never free()d, even if there are no states pointing to the rule. That explains the panic, and the fix is actually quite straightforward: idx needs to be a per-vnet variable, Vpfpurge_idx, and then the problem is gone. As is often the case, the solution to a fairly hard problem turns out to be really simple. As you might expect, finding the problem takes a lot more work that fixing it Thanks to Kristof for writing up this detailed post explaining how the problem was found, and what caused it. *** vBSDcon 2017: BSD at Work (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/vbsdcon-2017-dexter/) The third biennial vBSDcon hosted by Verisign took place September 7th through 9th with the FreeBSD Developer Summit taking place the first day. vBSDcon and iXsystems' MeetBSD event have been alternating between the East and West coasts of the U.S.A. and these two events play vital roles in reaching Washington, DC-area and Bay Area/Silicon Valley audiences. Where MeetBSD serves many BSD Vendors, vBSDcon attracts a unique government and security industry demographic that isn't found anywhere else. Conference time and travel budgets are always limited and bringing these events to their attendees is a much-appreciated service provided by their hosts. The vBSDcon FreeBSD DevSummit had a strong focus on OpenZFS, the build system and networking with the FreeBSD 12 wish list of features in mind. How to best incorporate the steady flow of new OpenZFS features into FreeBSD such as dataset-level encryption was of particular interest. This feature from a GNU/Linux-based storage vendor is tribute to the growth of the OpenZFS community which is vital in light of the recent “Death of Solaris and ZFS” at Oracle. There has never been more demand for OpenZFS on FreeBSD and the Oracle news further confirms our collective responsibility to meet that demand. The official conference opened with my talk on “Isolated BSD Build Environments” in which I explained how the bhyve hypervisor can be used to effortlessly tour FreeBSD 5.0-onward and build specific source releases on demand to trace regressions to their offending commit. I was followed by a FreeNAS user who made the good point that FreeNAS is an exemplary “entry vector” into Unix and Enterprise Storage fundamentals, given that many of the vectors our generation had are gone. Where many of us discovered Unix and the Internet via console terminals at school or work, smart phones are only delivering the Internet without the Unix. With some irony, both iOS and Android are Unix-based yet offer few opportunities for their users to learn and leverage their Unix environments. The next two talks were The History and Future of Core Dumps in FreeBSD by Sam Gwydir and Using pkgsrc for multi-platform deployments in heterogeneous environments by G. Clifford Williams. I strongly recommend that anyone wanting to speak at AsiaBSDCon read Sam's accompanying paper on core dumps because I consider it the perfect AsiaBSDCon topic and his execution is excellent. Core dumps are one of those things you rarely think about until they are a DROP EVERYTHING! priority. G. Clifford's talk was about what I consider a near-perfect BSD project: pkgsrc, the portable BSD package manager. I put it up there with OpenSSH and mandoc as projects that have provided significant value to other Open Source operating systems. G. Clifford's real-world experiences are perfectly inline with vBSDcon's goal to be more production-oriented than other BSDCons. Of the other talks, any and all Dtrace talks are always appreciated and George Neville-Neil's did not disappoint. He based it on his experiences with the Teach BSD project which is bringing FreeBSD-based computer science education to schools around the world. The security-related talks by John-Mark Gurney, Dean Freeman and Michael Shirk also represented vBSDcon's consideration of the local community and made a convincing point that the BSDs should make concerted efforts to qualify for Common Criteria, FIPS, and other Government security requirements. While some security experts will scoff at these, they are critical to the adoption of BSD-based products by government agencies. BSD Now hosts Allan Jude and Benedict Reuschling hosted an OpenZFS BoF and Ansible talk respectively and I hosted a bhyve hypervisor BoF. The Hallway Track and food at vBSDcon were excellent and both culminated with an after-dinner dramatic reading of Michael W. Lucas' latest book that raised money for the FreeBSD Foundation. A great time was had by all and it was wonderful to see everyone! News Roundup FreeBSD 10.4-RC2 Available (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2017-September/087848.html) FreeBSD 10.4 will be released soon, this is the last chance to find bugs before the official release is cut. Noteworthy Changes Since 10.4-RC1: Given that the amd64 disc1 image was overflowing, more of the base components installed into the disc1 (live) file systems had to be disabled. Most notably, this removed the compiler toolchain from the disc1 images. All disabled tools are still available with the dvd1 images, though. The aesni(4) driver now no longer shares a single FPU context across multiple sessions in multiple threads, addressing problems seen when employing aesni(4) for ipsec(4). Support for netmap(4) by the ixgbe(4) driver has been brought into line with the netmap(4) API present in stable/10. Also, ixgbe(4) now correctly handles VFs in its netmap(4) support again instead of treating these as PFs. During the creation of amd64 and i386 VM images, etcupdate(8) and mergemaster(8) databases now are bootstrapped, akin to what happens along the extraction of base.txz as part of a new installation via bsdinstall(8). This change allows for both of these tools to work out-of-box on the VM images and avoids errors seen when upgrading these images via freebsd-update(8). If you are still on the stable/10 branch, you should test upgrading to 10.4, and make sure there are no problems with your workload Additional testing specifically of the features that have changed since 10.4-BETA1 would also be most helpful This will be the last release from the stable/10 branch *** OpenBSD changes of note 628 (https://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/openbsd-changes-of-note-628) EuroBSDCon in two weeks. Be sure to attend early and often. Many and various documentation improvements for libcrypto. New man pages, rewrites, expanded bugs sections, and more. Only allow upward migration in vmd. There's a README for the syspatch build system if you want to run your own. Move the kernel relinking code from /etc/rc into a seperate script usable by syspatch. Kernel patches can now be reduced to just the necessary files. Make the callers of sogetopt() responsible for allocating memory. Now allocation and free occur in the same place. Use waitpid() instead of wait() in most programs to avoid accidentally collecting the wrong child. Have cu call isatty() before making assumptions. Switch mandoc rendering of mathematical symbols and greek letters from trying to imitate the characters' graphical shapes, which resulted in unintelligible renderings in many cases, to transliterations conveying the characters' meanings. Update libexpat to 2.2.4. Fix copying partial UTF-8 characters. Sigh, here we go again. Work around bug in F5's handling of the supported elliptic curves extension. RFC 4492 only defines elliptic_curves for ClientHello. However, F5 is sending it in ServerHello. We need to skip over it since our TLS extension parsing code is now more strict. After a first install, run syspatch -c to check for patches. If SMAP is present, clear PSL_AC on kernel entry and interrupt so that only the code in copy{in,out}* that need it run with it set. Panic if it's set on entry to trap() or syscall(). Prompted by Maxime Villard's NetBSD work. Errata. New drivers for arm: rktemp, mvpinctrl, mvmpic, mvneta, mvmdio, mvpxa, rkiic, rkpmic. No need to exec rm from within mandoc. We know there's exactly one file and directory to remove. Similarly with running cmp. Revert to Mesa 13.0.6 to hopefully address rendering issues a handful of people have reported with xpdf/fvwm on ivy bridge with modesetting driver. Rewrite ALPN extension using CBB/CBS and the new extension framework. Rewrite SRTP extension using CBB/CBS and the new extension framework. Revisit 2q queue sizes. Limit the hot queue to 1/20th the cache size up to a max of 4096 pages. Limit the warm and cold queues to half the cache. This allows us to more effectively notice re-interest in buffers instead of losing it in a large hot queue. Add glass console support for arm64. Probably not yet for your machine, though. Replace heaps of hand-written syscall stubs in ld.so with a simpler framework. 65535 is a valid port to listen on. When xinit starts an X server that listens only on UNIX socket, prefer DISPLAY=unix:0 rather than DISPLAY=:0. This will prevent applications from ever falling back to TCP if the UNIX socket connection fails (such as when the X server crashes). Reverted. Add -z and -Z options to apmd to auto suspend or hibernate when low on battery. Remove the original (pre-IETF) chacha20-poly1305 cipher suites. Add urng(4) which supports various USB RNG devices. Instead of adding one driver per device, start bundling them into a single driver. Remove old deactivated pledge path code. A replacement mechanism is being brewed. Fix a bug from the extension parsing rewrite. Always parse ALPN even if no callback has been installed to prevent leaving unprocessed data which leads to a decode error. Clarify what is meant by syslog priorities being ordered, since the numbers and priorities are backwards. Remove a stray setlocale() from ksh, eliminating a lot of extra statically linked code. Unremove some NPN symbols from libssl because ports software thinks they should be there for reasons. Fix saved stack location after resume. Somehow clang changed it. Resume works again on i386. Improve error messages in vmd and vmctl to be more informative. Stop building the miniroot installer for OMAP3 Beagleboards. It hasn't worked in over a year and nobody noticed. Have the callers of sosetopt() free the mbuf for symmetry. On octeon, let the kernel use the hardware FPU even if emulation is compiled in. It's faster. Fix support for 486DX CPUs by not calling cpuid. I used to own a 486. Now I don't. Merge some drm fixes from linux. Defer probing of floppy drives, eliminating delays during boot. Better handling of probes and beacons and timeouts and scans in wifi stack to avoid disconnects. Move mutex, condvar, and thread-specific data routes, pthreadonce, and pthreadexit from libpthread to libc, along with low-level bits to support them. Let's thread aware (but not actually threaded) code work with just libc. New POSIX xlocale implementation. Complete as long as you only use ASCII and UTF-8, as you should. Round and round it goes; when 6.2 stops, nobody knows. A peak at the future? *** Screencasting with OpenBSD (http://eradman.com/posts/screencasting.html) USB Audio Any USB microphone should appear as a new audio device. Here is the dmesg for my mic by ART: uaudio0 at uhub0 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 "M-One USB" rev 1.10/0.01 addr 2 uaudio0: audio rev 1.00, 8 mixer controls audio1 at uaudio0 audioctl can read off all of the specific characterisitcs of this device $ audioctl -f /dev/audio1 | grep record mode=play,record record.rate=48000 record.channels=1 record.precision=16 record.bps=2 record.msb=1 record.encoding=slinear_le record.pause=0 record.active=0 record.block_size=1960 record.bytes=0 record.errors=0 Now test the recording from the second audio device using aucat(1) aucat -f rsnd/1 -o file.wav If the device also has a headset audio can be played through the same device. aucat -f rsnd/1 -i file.wav Screen Capture using Xvfb The rate at which a framebuffer for your video card is a feature of the hardware and software your using, and it's often very slow. x11vnc will print an estimate of the banwidth for the system your running. x11vnc ... 09/05/2012 22:23:45 fb read rate: 7 MB/sec This is about 4fps. We can do much better by using a virtual framebuffer. Here I'm setting up a new screen, setting the background color, starting cwm and an instance of xterm Xvfb :1 -screen 0 720x540x16 & DISPLAY=:1 xsetroot -solid steelblue & DISPLAY=:1 cwm & DISPLAY=:1 xterm +sb -fa Hermit -fs 14 & Much better! Now we're up around 20fps. x11vnc -display :1 & ... 11/05/2012 18:04:07 fb read rate: 168 MB/sec Make a connection to this virtual screen using raw encoding to eliminate time wasted on compression. vncviewer localhost -encodings raw A test recording with sound then looks like this ffmpeg -f sndio -i snd/1 -y -f x11grab -r 12 -s 800x600 -i :1.0 -vcodec ffv1 ~/out.avi Note: always stop the recording and playback using q, not Ctrl-C so that audio inputs are shut down properly. Screen Capture using Xephyr Xephyr is perhaps the easiest way to run X with a shadow framebuffer. This solution also avoids reading from the video card's RAM, so it's reasonably fast. Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 800x600 :1 & DISPLAY=:1 xsetroot -solid steelblue & DISPLAY=:1 cwm & DISPLAY=:1 xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults & DISPLAY=:1 xterm +sb -fa "Hermit" -fs 14 & Capture works in exactally the same way. This command tries to maintain 12fps. ffmpeg -f sndio -i snd/1 -y -f x11grab -r 12 -s 800x600 -i :1.0 -vcodec ffv1 -acodec copy ~/out.avi To capture keyboard and mouse input press Ctrl then Shift. This is very handy for using navigating a window manager in the nested X session. Arranging Windows I have sometimes found it helpful to launch applications and arrange them in a specific way. This will open up a web browser listing the current directory and position windows using xdotool DISPLAY=:1 midori "file:///pwd" & sleep 2 DISPLAY=:1 xdotool search --name "xterm" windowmove 0 0 DISPLAY=:1 xdotool search --class "midori" windowmove 400 0 DISPLAY=:1 xdotool search --class "midori" windowsize 400 576 This will position the window precisely so that it appears to be in a tmux window on the right. Audio/Video Sync If you find that the audio is way out of sync with the video, you can ajust the start using the -ss before the audio input to specify the number of seconds to delay. My final recording command line, that delays the audio by 0.5 seconds, writing 12fps ffmpeg -ss 0.5 -f sndio -i snd/1 -y -f x11grab -r 12 -s 800x600 -i :1.0 -vcodec ffv1 -acodec copy ~/out.avi Sharing a Terminal with tmux If you're trying to record a terminal session, tmux is able to share a session. In this way a recording of an X framebuffer can be taken without even using the screen. Start by creating the session. tmux -2 -S /tmp/tmux0 Then on the remote side connect on the same socket tmux -2 -S /tmp/tmux0 attach Taking Screenshots Grabbing a screenshots on Xvfb server is easily accomplished with ImageMagick's import command DISPLAY=:1 import -window root screenshot.png Audio Processing and Video Transcoding The first step is to ensure that the clip begins and ends where you'd like it to. The following will make a copy of the recording starting at time 00:00 and ending at 09:45 ffmpeg -i interactive-sql.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:09:45 interactive-sql-trimmed.avi mv interactive-sql-trimmed.avi interactive-sql.avi Setting the gain correctly is very important with an analog mixer, but if you're using a USB mic there may not be a gain option; simply record using it's built-in settings and then adjust the levels afterwards using a utility such as normalize. First extact the audio as a raw PCM file and then run normalize ffmpeg -i interactive-sql.avi -c:a copy -vn audio.wav normalize audio.wav Next merge the audio back in again ffmpeg -i interactive-sql.avi -i audio.wav -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c copy interactive-sql-normalized.avi The final step is to compress the screencast for distribution. Encoding to VP8/Vorbis is easy: ffmpeg -i interactive-sql-normalized.avi -c:v libvpx -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis -q:a 6 interactive-sql.webm H.264/AAC is tricky. For most video players the color space needs to be set to yuv420p. The -movflags puts the index data at the beginning of the file to enable streaming/partial content requests over HTTP: ffmpeg -y -i interactive-sql-normalized.avi -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 14 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart -c:a aac -q:a 6 interactive-sql.mp4 TrueOS @ Ohio Linuxfest '17!
