Voor je het weet is dat weekend. Een beetje een anders weekend omdat we niet echt meer volle bak uit kunnen, en dat is balen, maar hé, het is vakantie en de zon lijkt te gaan schijnen. Dus laten we er een zo goed mogelijk begin maken met ander half uur gepraat over onze favoriete hobby: gaming. En er gebeurde zoals bijna elke week wel genoeg. Alsof het helemaal geen zomer is. Valve presenteerde zo maar uit het niets hun ‘Switch Pro', de Steam Deck. Er was een hoop gemopper over next gen upgrades waar flink voor gelapt moest worden en er blijft wat kritiek op de Switch OLED. Want waarom 50 euro duurder als er maar tien euro aan extra hardware in zit? Wat zijn de kansen van Valve's Steam Deck? Het zijn dit keer Daan en Jelle die aan de desk plaatsnemen. Het is een razend drukke tijd omdat mensen op vakantie gaan maar er desondanks toch een nieuwe aflevering van Premiumvision gemaakt dient te worden en voorbereidingen zijn getroffen voor het 20-jarig bestaan. Maar het nieuws houdt daar geen rekening mee. Daarom zitten we gewoon klaar voor een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live, waar dit keer ook nog wat opmerkingen over het nieuws van vorige week recht gezet moeten worden. Plus die verrassende Steam deck dus. Die Gabe toch.. Wat gaat EA Play ons aanstaande donderdag brengen? Volgende week donderdagavond om 19:00 uur is het tijd voor EA Play. Iets wat we zeer waarschijnlijk gaan coveren in een stream. In negentig minuten tijd presenteert EA de games die de ze komende maanden en in 2022 aan de gamers willen aanbieden. Daar zitten vooralsnog geen Star Wars games bij, want ze hebben nu al gemeld dat deze niet getoond worden. En dat is een nieuwe trend, het aankondigen wat je niet krijgt te zien. Bang voor teleurstellingen misschien? Is dat een goede ontwikkeling? Dit en talloze andere onderwerpen worden het komende anderhalve uur besproken. Prettig weekend alvast. En be safe.
Unix virtual memory when you have no swap space, Dsynth details on Dragonfly, Instant Workstation on FreeBSD, new servers new tech, Experimenting with streaming setups on NetBSD, NetBSD’s progress towards Steam support thanks to GSoC, and more. Headlines What has to happen with Unix virtual memory when you have no swap space (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/NoSwapConsequence) Recently, Artem S. Tashkinov wrote on the Linux kernel mailing list about a Linux problem under memory pressure (via, and threaded here). The specific reproduction instructions involved having low RAM, turning off swap space, and then putting the system under load, and when that happened (emphasis mine): Once you hit a situation when opening a new tab requires more RAM than is currently available, the system will stall hard. You will barely be able to move the mouse pointer. Your disk LED will be flashing incessantly (I'm not entirely sure why). [...] I'm afraid I have bad news for the people snickering at Linux here; if you're running without swap space, you can probably get any Unix to behave this way under memory pressure. If you can't on your particular Unix, I'd actually say that your Unix is probably not letting you get full use out of your RAM. To simplify a bit, we can divide pages of user memory up into anonymous pages and file-backed pages. File-backed pages are what they sound like; they come from some specific file on the filesystem that they can be written out to (if they're dirty) or read back in from. Anonymous pages are not backed by a file, so the only place they can be written out to and read back in from is swap space. Anonymous pages mostly come from dynamic memory allocations and from modifying the program's global variables and data; file backed pages come mostly from mapping files into memory with mmap() and also, crucially, from the code and read-only data of the program. See link for the rest of the article Dsynth details on Dragonfly (https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2019/08/27/23398.html) First, history: DragonFly has had binaries of dports available for download for quite some time. These were originally built using poudriere, and then using the synth tool put together by John Marino. Synth worked both to build all software in dports, and as a way to test DragonFly’s SMP capability under extreme load. Matthew Dillon is working on a new version, called dsynth. It is available now but not yet part of the build. He’s been working quickly on it and there’s plenty more commits than what I have linked here. It’s already led to finding more high-load fixes. dsynth DSynth is basically synth written in C, from scratch. It is designed to give us a bulk builder in base and be friendly to porting and jails down the line (for now its uses chroot's). The original synth was written by John R. Marino and its basic flow was used in writing this program, but as it was written in ada no code was directly copied. The intent is to make dsynth compatible with synth's configuration files and directory structure. This is a work in progress and not yet ready for prime-time. Pushing so we can get some more eyeballs. Most of the directives do not yet work (everything, and build works, and 'cleanup' can be used to clean up any dangling mounts). dsynth code (https://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob/HEAD:/usr.bin/dsynth/dsynth.1) News Roundup Instant Workstation (https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2019/08/12/instant-workstation.html) Some considerable time ago I wrote up instructions on how to set up a FreeBSD machine with the latest KDE Plasma Desktop. Those instructions, while fairly short (set up X, install the KDE meta-port, .. and that’s it) are a bit fiddly. So – prompted slightly by a Twitter exchange recently – I’ve started a mini-sub-project to script the installation of a desktop environment and the bits needed to support it. To give it at least a modicum of UI, dialog(1) is used to ask for an environment to install and a display manager. The tricky bits – pointed out to me after I started – are hardware support, although a best-effort is better than having nothing, I think. In any case, in a VBox host it’s now down to running a single script and picking Plasma and SDDM to get a usable system for me. Other combinations have not been tested, nor has system-hardware-setup. I’ll probably maintain it for a while and if I have time and energy it’ll be tried with nVidia (those work quite well on FreeBSD) and AMD (not so much, in my experience) graphics cards when I shuffle some machines around. Here is the script in my GitHub repository with notes-for-myself. (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adriaandegroot/FreeBSDTools/master/bin/instant-workstation) New Servers, new Tech (https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2019/08/26/23396.html) Following up on an earlier post, the new servers for DragonFly are in place. The old 40-core machine used for bulk build, monster, is being retired. The power efficiency of the new machines is startling. Incidentally, this is where donations go – infrastructure. New servers in the colo, monster is being retired (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2019-August/358271.html) We have three new servers in the colo now that will be taking most/all bulk package building duties from monster and the two blades (muscles and pkgbox64) that previously did the work. Monster will be retired. The new servers are a dual-socket Xeon (sting) and two 3900X based systems (thor and loki) which all together burn only around half the wattage that monster burned (500W vs 1000W) and 3 times the performance. That's at least a 6:1 improvement in performance efficiency. With SSD prices down significantly the new machines have all-SSDs. These new machines allow us to build dports binary packages for release, master, and staged at the same time and reduces the full-on bulk build times for getting all three done down from 2 weeks to 2 days. It will allow us to more promptly synchronize updates to ports with dports and get binary packages up sooner. Monster, our venerable 48-core quad-socket opteron is being retired. This was a wonderful dev machine for working on DragonFly's SMP algorithms over the last 6+ years precisely because its inter-core and inter-socket latencies were quite high. If a SMP algorithm wasn't spot-on, you could feel it. Over the years DragonFly's performance on monster in doing things like bulk builds increased radically as the SMP algorithms got better and the cores became more and more localized. This kept monster relevant far longer than I thought it would be. But we are at a point now where improvements in efficiency are just too good to ignore. Monster's quad-socket opteron (4 x 12 core 6168's) pulls 1000W under full load while a single Ryzen 3900X (12 core / 24 thread) in a server configuration pulls only 150W, and is slightly faster on the same workload to boot. I would like to thank everyone's generous donations over the last few years! We burned a few thousand on the new machines (as well as the major SSD upgrades we did to the blades) and made very good use of the money, particularly this year as prices for all major components (RAM, SSDs, CPUs, Mobos, etc) have dropped significantly. Experimenting with streaming setups on NetBSD (https://dressupgeekout.blogspot.com/2019/08/experimenting-with-streaming-setups-on.html?m=1) Ever since OBS was successfully ported to NetBSD, I’ve been trying it out, seeing what works and what doesn’t. I’ve only just gotten started, and there’ll definitely be a lot of tweaking going forward. Capturing a specific application’s windows seems to work okay. Capturing an entire display works, too. I actually haven’t tried streaming to Twitch or YouTube yet, but in a previous experiment a few weeks ago, I was able to run a FFmpeg command line and that could stream to Twitch mostly OK. My laptop combined with my external monitor allows me to have a dual-monitor setup wherein the smaller laptop screen can be my “broadcasting station” while the bigger screen is where all the action takes place. I can make OBS visible on all Xfce workspaces, but keep it tucked away on that display only. Altogether, the setup should let me use the big screen for the fun stuff but I can still monitor everything in the small screen. NetBSD Made Progress Thanks To GSoC In Its March Towards Steam Support (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NetBSD-Linux-DRM-Ioctl-GSoC2019) Ultimately the goal is to get Valve's Steam client running on NetBSD using their Linux compatibility layer while the focus the past few months with Google Summer of Code 2019 were supporting the necessary DRM ioctls for allowing Linux software running on NetBSD to be able to tap accelerated graphics support. Student developer Surya P spent the summer working on compat_netbsd32 DRM interfaces to allow Direct Rendering Manager using applications running under their Linux compatibility layer. These interfaces have been tested and working as well as updating the "suse131" packages in NetBSD to make use of those interfaces. So the necessary interfaces are now in place for Linux software running on NetBSD to be able to use accelerated graphics though Steam itself isn't yet running on NetBSD with this layer. Those curious about this DRM ioctl GSoC project can learn more from the NetBSD blog (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/gsoc_2019_report_implementation_of). NetBSD has also been seeing work this summer on Wayland support and better Wine support to ultimately make this BSD a better desktop operating system and potentially a comparable gaming platform to Linux.

Na de CES-special van vorige week komt de Tweakers Podcast van deze week gewoon weer uit de normale studio, al is het dan nog zonder Wout, die na de beurs in Las Vegas even bijkomt tijdens een welverdiende vakantie. Dat mag te pret uiteraard niet drukken, want er is voldoende om over te babbelen. Afgelopen week werd bijvoorbeeld bekend dat de Franse game-uitgever Ubisoft de pc-versie van The Division 2 niet zal aanbieden op Steam. In plaats daarvan kan de game gekocht worden in de nieuwe Epic Store. Epic biedt gamemakers een veel betere deal als het gaat om hoeveel procent van het aankoopbedrag de winkel zelf in zijn zak steekt. Het lijkt er dus op dat Valve's Steam in Epic een uitdager van formaat heeft gevonden, die het onlinewinkellandschap de komende tijd wel eens zou kunnen gaan veranderen. Over veranderen gesproken: tijdens de CES was er ook het opmerkelijke nieuws dat Apple gaat samenwerken met diverse televisieproducenten om streaming van AirPlay2 mogelijk te maken. Dit alles om er voor te zorgen dat het aanbod van Apples eigen streamingdienst straks door meer mensen bekeken zal kunnen worden. Apple is niet de enige die samenwerkt: Nvidia gaat Freesync van AMD ondersteunen. Ook hebben we het over andere dingen. Paul bespreekt het ontbreken van audio-apparaten met een usb-c-stekker op de CES en Arnoud verwacht in de markt voor budgetsmartphones een ware prijzenslag tussen onder meer Xiaomi en Samsung. 00:20 Opening 01:27 Nvidea ondersteunt Freesync 05:17 Geen usb-c audioproducten op CES 08:27 Galaxy M en de prijsoorlog bij budgetsmartphones 16:03 Rocket League nu ook op PS4 crossplatform speelbaar 18:38 De komst van de Epic Store 27:31 Het belang van de Unreal Engine 33:07 Wat gaat Valve doen? 35:43 Apple doet raar 43:17 Overvloed aan streaming services 49:48 Sneak peek Support the show.

Our latest podcast starts a little slow, but I think we make up for it! We're back to a full team and ready to pick apart Apple's newest releases, RIM's latest breakup, and Superman becoming much more realistic.Feedback: Guys,Twitter blocking a feed has nothing do to with the First Amendment of the US Constitution - even if they blocked a US feed. The actual text of the first amendment is ...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.It does not say ...Twitter shall make no law [take no action?] ... abridging the freedom of speech.So - twitter is 100% free to do what they please with regards to the first amendment. Twitter is providing a service and if they want to remove the service to a select or group of individuals - fine by me.To me, free speech without consequence (ie your comment re trolls in real life) is just as bad as I am just removing your right to free speech (wasn't it you guys that talked about the troll that had is real life name and address publicly exposed?).Cheers,Ruff Headlines:Superman comic loses the most unbelievable part of the story.Apple's rubber-banding isn't so special after all!US Border Patrol bars RIM from entry.
