In this special episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are joined by tech guru Michael Babcock to tackle listener questions. As always, the conversation is packed with tips, tricks, and a bit of chaos. Steven kicks things off by talking about his switch from VMware Fusion to Parallels for running virtual machines on macOS. He shares how it's made his life easier, especially with keyboard shortcuts and overall functionality. Meanwhile, Michael offers his own insights into navigating macOS and Windows simultaneously without losing your mind. One listener asks for advice on marking frozen foods in a chest freezer without braille. The team dives into solutions like tactile markers, elastic tags, and tech options such as PenFriend and NFC tags, with plenty of laughs along the way about the quirks of cooking when you can't see what's in the freezer. Michael also takes on a great question about learning VoiceOver gestures on iPhone. If you've ever struggled with swipes, taps, or understanding the rotor, he's got you covered with recommendations like Apple's built-in VoiceOver tutorial and the VO Starter app. Headphones are another hot topic. From bone conduction options like the Shokz OpenRun Pro to Apple's AirPods, the guys break down what works best for audiobooks, walking, and staying aware of your surroundings. They even touch on budget-friendly alternatives that won't break the bank. Steven revisits his take on the Apple Watch after recently upgrading. Spoiler alert: He's found new love for its navigation features, health tracking, and Apple Pay convenience, though he admits it's still not perfect for everyone. For listeners curious about video accessibility, Michael explains how to use the Seeing AI app to make sense of videos and suggests ways to convert formats if needed. They also troubleshoot transferring files between iPhones and the Victor Reader Stream, exploring options like USB-C adapters and SD card readers. Mac vs. PC debates resurface as the team discusses whether switching to macOS is worth it. Michael shares his tips for tackling the learning curve, while Stephen reflects on how the Mac has become a powerful tool in his workflow. The episode wraps up with advice on how to amplify specific voices in noisy environments. Whether it's using the iPhone's Live Listen feature with AirPods or investing in a personal listener device, there's plenty of practical info for making family gatherings (or avoiding them!) a little easier. It's another jam-packed episode full of tech, accessibility tips, and laughs!Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.

In the latest episode of the Virtually Speaking Podcast, Pete and John dive deep into the world of desktop hypervisors with special guest Michael Roy. The discussion takes us on a journey through the history of desktop hypervisors, exploring their various use cases and shedding light on recent changes in licensing following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. Desktop hypervisors, notably VMware Fusion and Workstation, have revolutionized the way we approach virtualization on personal computers. These powerful tools enable users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single machine, opening up a world of possibilities for developers, IT professionals, and enthusiasts alike. During this episode Michael Roy delves into the myriad use cases for desktop hypervisors, highlighting their importance in software development, testing, and education. We explore how these tools have become indispensable for developers seeking to test their applications across different environments, as well as for IT professionals managing complex systems.
SummaryFor this special edition of the podcast Duncan invited Michael Roy to discuss the latest VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion announcements. VMware Workstation and Fusion are desktop hypervisor products that allow users to run virtual machines on their PC or Mac. Starting today, Workstation and Fusion commercial licenses will only be available through annual subscriptions. The price for both products is now $199 per year. The free versions of Fusion Player and Workstation Player are being discontinued, but the Pro versions will be available for free for personal use. Support for personal use products will be community-based, while commercial users will have support included in their subscription. The focus of future innovation will be on the integration between vSphere and Workstation/Fusion, providing a local virtual sandbox for learning, development, and testing.TakeawaysVMware Workstation and Fusion are desktop hypervisor products for running virtual machines on PC and Mac.Commercial use of Workstation and Fusion is shifting from perpetual licenses to annual subscriptions.The free versions of Fusion Player and Workstation Player are being discontinued, but the Pro versions will be available for free for personal use.Support for personal use products will be community-based, while commercial users will have support included in their subscription.Future innovation will focus on integrating vSphere with Workstation and Fusion to provide a local virtual sandbox for learning, development, and testing.LinksAnnouncement BlogThe Register articleDisclaimer: The thoughts and opinions shared in this podcast are our own/guest(s), and not necessarily those of Broadcom or VMware by Broadcom.

Do you ever have a need to use a computer platform other than the one that you own? Maybe you have a PC but like to occasionally dabble in Linux…or own a Mac but have a need to run a PC-only program? Well, you could go and buy a whole new second machine…or you could try and emulate that platform on your current machine. Computer emulators are programs that will use your current computer's resources to experience other computer systems. In this episode of Brothers in Tech, Alan reviews the pros and cons of using an PC emulator on the Mac. And, spoiler alert…just to make it realistic, he has to restart the PC during the show. Products mentioned in this episode: Parallels, VMWare Fusion, BootcampYour Hosts:Alan Jackson (the older Brother) is a producer of online content with Jackson Creative and survey researcher with Jackson Insight.Brian Jackson (the younger Brother) is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at Pacific University and Consultant at Senaptec, Inc.Have any feedback for the Brothers regarding this topic (or future topics)?

VMware has long served developers, as well as end users and IT professionals, with some of the best in class features with our award winning desktop hypervisor products, VMware Fusion and Workstation. However, when it comes to developing and testing today’s modern applications, things look a little different than the traditional ones which Fusion was originally designed to support. Recently VMware expressed their commitment to today’s modern developers by delivering new support for OCI containers using it's award-winning hypervisor technology stack. Fusion 11.5 users can now pull, build, run and push containers as part of a modern development and testing workflow, without needing other tools such as docker desktop installed. This week on the Virtually Speaking Podcast we welcome Myles Gray and Mike Roy to discuss VMware Fusion support for conatiners in what is referred to as Project Nautilus.

It's 7:38 on a Wednesday, Craig is on with Ken and Matt. Today Craig gave Ken some instructions on how to upgrade his Windows machine. They also talked about the Pokemon region in the brains of the adults who played the game as kids, and how Facebook is a government protected monopoly. These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Related Articles: Brain Scans Reveal A ‘Pokémon Region’ In Adults Who Played As Kids Facebook Is A Government-Protected Monopoly Google Confirms It Will Automatically Delete Your Data — What You Need To Know --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 05/15/2019 Risks Of Upgrading Windows - Pokemon Changed Our Brains - New Google Privacy Feature Coming Craig Peterson 0:00 Hey, good morning everybody Craig Peterson here. This morning, I got to answer some questions. I helped Ken out with how to upgrade his Windows machine. Gave some, I think the best advice possible when it comes to an upgrade. And it's not just upgrades for Windows but we talked a little bit about Mac, I gave him some hints on what to do, because on his Mac, he's got windows seven, as well as Mac OS, he's got to get to Windows 10. So we talked about that. We talked about a Pokemon region in the brain of adults. Now this is kind of cool, too. And why is Facebook a government protected monopoly? What's that all about? And Google, automatically deleting our data? So all of that and a couple extra things too this morning with Ken and Matt. It was kind of a fun time again today. What a week. Alright, guys, we will be back Saturday with our weekly radio show wrap up. Take care of and I have a big warning too but you'll hear that right near the beginning. Matt Gagnon 1:05 He's back ladies and gentlemen Craig Peterson, our tech guru. He's at this time every Wednesday. And it happens to be Wednesday at this time. So he's back again. Craig, How are you this morning? Craig 1:18 I'm doing great. How are you guys? Ken Altshuler 1:19 You know, the other day I was going to email you because I had a question. I forgot what it was. But another question has come up since then you have recommended everybody should upgrade to Windows 10. Correct? Craig 1:30 At the very least Yes. And there's a huge, by the way, a huge I mean, how does President Trump pronounce it? There's a huge which is a new pronunciation, security vulnerability on every Intel processor made since 2011. I mean, we haven't had anything this bad in like for ever. So those people that are on my email list and my text list are going to get a link today with more information. But this came out yesterday. And all of the major guys Microsoft and Apple have already issued patches are there they're working on they've got them done. They should be out soon. But this is we've never seen anything this bad before. Thanks Intel. But of course your iPhones are fine. And other Samsung Galaxies and anything that's not using an Intel chip is ok. But this is like the hugest security problem we have seen I think maybe in a decade or two so anyway. Ken 2:43 So when I upgrade to Windows 10. And is it something I can do or do I need somebody who knows something about computers like Matt could do it for me? Craig 2:50 Well, if you can't handle... Matt 2:53 He says this in the wake by the way of me having to clean up his computer last Friday. Ken 2:56 Evidently I had asked Jeeves on it. I don't know how I put it on and they really made fun of me and and I was ashamed. They shamed me. Matt 3:06 He was shamed. Ken 3:08 So I used to think I was somewhat tech savvy for an old man. But is it something I do myself? Craig 3:15 I knew you had that it was coming. I knew that you had that sound bite. Matt 3:19 I got it on ready all the time. Craig 3:21 Well, if you can't handle tabs on your browser, I think there's a little bit of a clue there. But here's the here's the bottom line, here's the recommendation. If you aren't going to upgrade to Windows 10. And this is true, particularly with Windows, but really kind of any operating system. Here's what I do, I don't upgrade, what I do is I make sure I have two backups of my computer. I do a virgin install, I do completely wipe the computer, reformat the hard disk, and particularly with Windows. And then I get it installed, I get it all patched up up to date. And then I get the newest versions of the software that I had been running. And then I restore my files from backup. I don't restore the whole backup. Ken 4:15 This is not going to happen. For me to do that is impossible. Just so you know. Craig 4:24 So you need help then. We knew that. You need help with your computer then Ken. And yes, absolutely. And here's why I do that. And here's why I recommend people that have the ability to do it, do it. There are, and this is kind of a technical term, but there are turds all over your computer. Okay. The Ask Jeeves. Ken 4:48 Matt fixed that for me. Matt 4:49 I did. I got rid of it. Craig 4:50 Yeah. Yeah, he got rid of it. And all these plugins remember when people were installing these bars on their browsers, right? Probably Ask Jeeves, yeah, don't do that people including today. But there's just all of these remnants from over the years that are there things are partially configured, the poorly configured. Your Windows machine crash right in the middle of updating the registry, all kinds of things happen there's a power failure, which never happens in Maine. There's a power failure when you're doing something and that messed up stuff just enough so the computer works but some things get weird and get slow, etc, etc. So that's why I recommend you just do a from scratch install, and then restore just your files. Now Apple is a little bit different. Apple can still have some of these types of problems. Apple doesn't use a registry, it has a much better system. But like even with that, there are different types of problems with your computer. So when you do an upgrade on the apple, it takes some liberties and cleans things up on your behalf. But every two or three or four major releases of Apple operating system, I advise people to make sure you've got at least one good time machine backup, which is the built in backup software with Apple. And with Apple, you can have two or more copies of your backups. So have two USB drives, plug them in, put them both on time machine, leave it alone for flow, you can use the computer but leave the backup alone for a few days. It'll backup everything. You'll have two copies, and then do a from scratch install. And then with a time machine backup, you can just restore the user account information. So all of your files and things and and then just reload your programs to stuff. So it's really good. It's like a then we take it to your car into the dealer and get an oil change. You get your transmission fluid changed, the coolant changed, everything changed. It's a good idea to do that with your computers and the way you do it is to good backups and then that thing out and start from scratch. Matt 7:11 Craig Peterson tech guru joins us Wednesdays at this time to go over what's happening in the world of technology. Craig I'm too curious to not ask about this one. The Pokemon thing. I mean, I so there's some people who played as kids have some sort of brain scan, the brain scan is revealed that there's a region their brain that essentially tells you that they played this game like explain this thing. Craig 7:34 Yeah. Yeah. Matt 7:35 And why is that? Like what happened? Craig 7:36 Pokemon. Well, here's what happened. This is just amazing. This is specifically that now any Pokemon gaming when you were young, now, you know, you had to do a fair amount of it, right? But any Pokemon gaming when you were younger, throws this little switch in your brain. But they found that particularly people who played Pokemon on Game Boys from the 1990s, are apparently kind of very susceptible for that. It's kind of cool, because here's what happened. They did an experiment, they did a brain study with some of these people who played Pokemon when they were kids. And they wanted to know, did it affect their brains? And you know how many years we've been talking about stuff like this right? Violent video games. Does that make you violent as an adult and stuff? Right. And I know, Matt, you've been saying no, it doesn't, right? Matt 8:35 No, it does not. Craig 8:36 Yeah, exactly. So I thought. So they scan the participants brains. These were all self selected, and everything. You know how that goes. So this wasn't like the best sort of study in the world, showing them images of all 150 original Pokemon. And they were showing them eight at a time and they mixed in other images, like animals faces, cars, words, hallways, other cartoons. And what they found in experienced players was a specific region of the brain responded more to Pokemon than to any other images. Absolutely amazing. This was the, you know, the occipital region, which is the rear back of the brain here. It's the occipital temporal sulcus. I think it is. S-U-L-C-U-S. Some will know how to pronounce that. But it was absolutely amazing. And novices did not have this region respond in any different way to anything. So basically, Pokemon programmed your brain to selectively notice Pokemons more than anything else as part of a theory called extra sensory bias. And it suggests the size of the images and the types we're looking at. And even in your peripheral vision, by the way, will make your brain respond. So fascinating. You know, what, what does that tell us? I don't know. Matt 10:07 You got to catch them all. That's what it tells you. Craig 10:10 Yeah. Exactly. So you've been programmed Matt, and you just don't realize it. Matt 2:50 I'd like to make clear with the audience that I did not actually play that game growing up, but I am familiar with it. Ken 10:20 We are talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru joins us Wednesdays at 7:38. Is Facebook a monopoly Mr. Peterson? Matt 10:27 What does that have to do with milkshakes? I guess I didn't follow that. Craig 10:32 Wow, man, we could go on for hours. But here's the bottom line, not just milkshakes, Matt, but hamburgers. And there's a great example. This is an article that I have up on my website from Amgreatness. And Ray Kroc. Of course, you might remember the story of the start of McDonald's, right? A couple of brothers had a hamburger stand. And it was amazing. And so Ray Kroc visited them trying to sell milkshake mixer, and was wondering why they needed four up milkshake mixer for such a small stand. The story evolved into McDonald's and, and he took what they had done and license issues everything else in the legal side. So the point here is that with the way the patent laws are today, they go far beyond what most people think the Constitution requires. They now have patent laws that allow you to patent processes, business processes, for instance. And it's gotten to the point where companies like Facebook, have patents on things that were obvious next steps, that even the patent law says aren't supposed to be issued. But the patent office is so overrun their patent issuing patents for things that should never been patented. And so now you have companies like, like Facebook out there, and Microsoft, who have patents on things that may be shouldn't have been issued, I don't think most of them should have been issued. So they can have and they don't have any competition. You know, we have people being that deep platform, we have conservative voices saying, Hey, listen, we're, we're not able to make any money anymore, because YouTube has cut us off, Facebook has cut us off, etc, etc. We should have five different alternatives out there for people to go to if Facebook or YouTube or someone else does something that kicks them off. And they say, Well, fine, I'm going to like conservative Facebook called XYZ book or whatever it might be. But we don't. And a lot of the reason for that is the state of the patent laws. And I personally have said for a very long time, we've got to change them. With technology moving the way it is, we are hindering our progress in the technology world in a huge way, by allowing these corporations, big ones and small ones, to take an obvious idea patented, and then use the federal government to be there and for sure, for what's now effectively a protected monopoly. Matt 13:08 We are talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru who joins us at this time every Wednesday to go over what's happening in the world of technology. I guess the last question for us in the last couple minutes we have here Craig I'd love to ask you about about Google and deleting our data. This obviously sort of goes into privacy questions and everything we've been talking about recently in the online space. Will they be deleting my data? What do I need to know about this? Craig 13:34 Yeah, you can manually go in right now and get a bunch of your data deleted manually. There's some simple on off controls for location, history, web app activity. But you have to go into your Google account constantly to delete it and ask for it to be deleted. So Google has a new rollout coming within a month or so that is called auto delete controls. So you will be able to go in and I'll let you guys know when this happens, right. So you can go and turn it on. But you'll be able to go in and say, I want to place a limit. And you'll have the amount of time Google you keep my history, my web, my app activity, my location, I want to put a limit on that. And you will get to choose between three months and 18 months, and the data will be automatically deleted on a rolling basis. So this is really good news. It comes in the wake of Facebook staring down at $2 billion fine, the largest in history, I think Google is kind of getting the impression that maybe we don't want all of our data tracked. So this is a good thing. I'll let you a little more when it happens. I'm also going to be putting info up on the top of my homepage today about this Intel vulnerability. It is huge. It's the worst ever. Update update update people. Bottom line. Ken 15:01 Craig Peterson, tech guru joins us every Wednesday at 7:38. This not being an exception. Thank you very much. And I will let you know how my upgrade of Windows 10 by myself does next week. Craig 15:12 So you're upgrading from XP. What are you doing? Ken 15:15 No. Windows 7 because I have a Mac it's on my VM Fusion side of my Mac. Craig 15:21 Okay, so a little hint here, before you do this, because you're using Fusion, VMware Fusion, you can take a snapshot of your Windows machine before you upgrade it. Ken 15:35 How do I do that? Craig 15:36 Okay, you go into your fusion, and you click on the machine because you got a virtual machine, a Windows 7 machine, and then it has snapshot up in the menu at the top. And just go to snapshot and say take snapshot. And it'll it'll it'll completely preserve absolutely everything in your Windows machine. And then you can go ahead and do the upgrade and everything goes. Ken 15:58 Nice. I'm going to do that right you now. Thank you. Craig 16:01 You can roll back. Ken 16:02 All right. Thank you so much. There you go. Matt 16:02 All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is Craig Peterson. American hero and friend of the show. Joins us every Wednesday at this time to go over the world of technology. Ken 16:10 American hero. Matt 16:12 American hero.

On today's episode, we are loaded and ready to go. Lots of OpenBSD news, a look at LetsEncrypt usage, the NetBSD scheduler (oh my) and much more. Keep it tuned to your place to B...SD! This episode was brought to you by Headlines Production ready (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/production-ready) Ted Unangst brings us a piece on what it means to be Production Ready He tells the story of a project he worked on that picked a framework that was “production ready” They tested time zones, and it all seemed to work They tested the unicode support in english and various european languages, and it was all good They sent some emails with it, and it just worked The framework said “Production Ready” on the tin, and it passed all the tests. What is the worst that could happen? Now, we built our product on top of this. Some of the bugs were caught internally. Others were discovered by customers, who were of course a little dismayed. Like, how could you possibly ship this? Indeed. We were doing testing, quite a bit really, but when every possible edge case has a bug, it's hard to find them all. A customer from Arizona, which does not observe Daylight Saving Time, crashed the app Some less common unicode characters caused a buffer overflow The email system did not properly escape a period on its own line, truncating the email “Egregious performance because of a naive N^2 algorithm for growing a buffer.” “Egregious performance on some platforms due to using the wrong threading primitives.” “Bizarre database connection bugs for some queries that I can't at all explain.” “In short, everything was “works for me” quality. But is that really production quality?” “There are some obvious contenders for the title of today's most “production ready” software, but it's a more general phenomenon. People who have success don't know what they don't know, what they didn't test, what unused features will crash and burn.” Using Let's Encrypt within FreeBSD.org (https://blog.crashed.org/letsencrypt-in-freebsd-org/) I decided to give Let's Encrypt certificates a shot on my personal web servers earlier this year after a disaster with StartSSL. I'd like to share what I've learned. The biggest gotcha is that people tend to develop bad habits when they only have to deal with certificates once a year or so. The beginning part of the process is manual and the deployment of certificates somehow never quite gets automated, or things get left out. That all changes with Let's Encrypt certificates. Instead of 1-5 year lifetime certificates the Let's Encrypt certificates are only valid for 90 days. Most people will be wanting to renew every 60-80 days. This forces the issue - you really need to automate and make it robust. The Let's Encrypt folks provide tools to do this for you for the common cases. You run it on the actual machine, it manages the certificates and adjusts the server configuration files for you. Their goal is to provide a baseline shake-n-bake solution. I was not willing to give that level of control to a third party tool for my own servers - and it was absolutely out of the question for for the FreeBSD.org cluster. I should probably mention that we do things on the FreeBSD.org cluster that many people would find a bit strange. The biggest problem that we have to deal with is that the traditional model of a firewall/bastion between "us" and "them" does not apply. We design for the assumption that hostile users are already on the "inside" of the network. The cluster is spread over 8 distinct sites with naked internet and no vpn between them. There is actually very little trust between the systems in this network - eg: ssh is for people only - no headless users can ssh. There are no passwords. Sudo can't be used. The command and control systems use signing. We don't trust anything by IPv4/IPv6 address because we have to assume MITM is a thing. And so on. In general, things are constructed to be trigger / polling / pull based. The downside is that this makes automation and integration of Let's Encrypt clients interesting. If server configuration files can't be modified; and replicated web infrastructure is literally read-only (via jails/nullfs); and DNS zone files are static; and headless users can't ssh and therefore cannot do commits, how do you do the verification tokens in an automated fashion? Interesting, indeed. We wanted to be able to use certificates on things like ldap and smtp servers. You can't do http file verification on those so we had to use dns validation of domains. First, a signing request is generated, and the acme-challenge is returned Peter's post then walks through how the script adds the required TXT record to prove control of the domain, regenerates the zone file, DNSSEC signs it, and waits for it to be published, then continues the letsencrypt process. Letsencrypt then issues the actual certificate We export the fullchain files into a publication location. There is another jail that can read the fullchain certificates via nullfs and they are published with our non-secrets update mechanism Since we are using DNSSEC, here is a good opportunity to maintain signed TLSA fingerprints. The catch with TLSA record updates is managing the update event horizon. You are supposed to have both fingerprints listed across the update cycle. We use 'TLSA 3 1 1' records to avoid issues with propagation delays for now. TLSA 3 0 1 changes with every renewal, while 3 1 1 only changes when you generate a new private key. The majority of TLS/SSL servers require a full restart to re-load the certificates if the filename is unchanged. I found out the hard way. There is a great deal more detail in the blog post, I recommend you check it out Learning more about the NetBSD scheduler (... than I wanted to know) Part 1 (http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20161105_1754.html) Part 2 (http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20161109_0059.html) Part 3 (http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20161113_0122.html) Today I had a need to do some number crunching using a home-brewn C program. In order to do some manual load balancing, I was firing up some Amazon AWS instances (which is Xen) with NetBSD 7.0. In this case, the system was assigned two CPUs I started two instances of my program, with the intent to have each one use one CPU. Which is not what happened! Here is what I observed, and how I fixed things for now. ~~ load averages: 2.14, 2.08, 1.83; up 0+00:45:56 18:01:32 27 processes: 4 runnable, 21 sleeping, 2 on CPU CPU0 states: 100% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle CPU1 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Memory: 119M Act, 7940K Exec, 101M File, 3546M Free ~~ ~~ PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 2791 root 25 0 8816K 964K RUN/0 16:10 54.20% 54.20% myprog 2845 root 26 0 8816K 964K RUN/0 17:10 47.90% 47.90% myprog ~~ I expected something like WCPU and CPU being around 100%, assuming that each process was bound to its own CPU. The values I actually saw (and listed above) suggested that both programs were fighting for the same CPU. Huh?! NetBSD allows to create "processor sets", assign CPU(s) to them and then assign processes to the processor sets. Let's have a look! ~~ # psrset -c 1 # psrset -b 0 2791 # psrset -b 1 2845 load averages: 2.02, 2.05, 1.94; up 0+00:59:32 18:15:08 27 processes: 1 runnable, 24 sleeping, 2 on CPU CPU0 states: 100% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle CPU1 states: 100% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Memory: 119M Act, 7940K Exec, 101M File, 3546M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 2845 root 25 0 8816K 964K CPU/1 26:14 100% 100% myprog 2791 root 25 0 8816K 964K RUN/0 25:40 100% 100% myprog ~~ Things are as expected now, with each program being bound to its own CPU. Now why this didn't happen by default is left as an exercise to the reader. I had another look at this today, and was able to reproduce the behaviour using VMWare Fusion with two CPU cores on both NetBSD 7.0_STABLE as well as -current The one hint that I got so far was from Michael van Elst that there may be a rouding error in sched_balance(). Looking at the code, there is not much room for a rounding error. But I am not familiar enough (at all) with the code, so I cannot judge if crucial bits are dropped here, or how that function fits in the whole puzzle. Pondering on the "rounding error", I've setup both VMs with 4 CPUs, and the behaviour shown there is that load is distributed to about 3 and a half CPU - three CPUs under full load, and one not reaching 100%. There's definitely something fishy in there. With multiple CPUs, each CPU has a queue of processes that are either "on the CPU" (running) or waiting to be serviced (run) on that CPU. Those processes count as "migratable" in runqueue_t. Every now and then, the system checks all its run queues to see if a CPU is idle, and can thus "steal" (migrate) processes from a busy CPU. This is done in sched_balance(). Such "stealing" (migration) has the positive effect that the process doesn't have to wait for getting serviced on the CPU it's currently waiting on. On the other side, migrating the process has effects on CPU's data and instruction caches, so switching CPUs shouldn't be taken too easy. All in all, I'd say the patch is a good step forward from the current situation, which does not properly distribute pure CPU hogs, at all. Building Cost-Effective 100-Gbps Firewalls for HPC with FreeBSD (https://www.nas.nasa.gov/SC16/demos/demo9.html) The continuous growth of the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) requires providing high-performance security tools and enhancing the network capacity. In order to support the requirements of emerging services, including the Advanced Data Analytics Platform (ADAPT) private cloud, the NCCS security team has proposed an architecture to provide extremely cost-effective 100-gigabit-per-second (Gbps) firewalls. The aim of this project is to create a commodity-based platform that can process enough packets per second (pps) to sustain a 100-Gbps workload within the NCCS computational environment. The test domain consists of several existing systems within the NCCS, including switches (Dell S4084), routers (Dell R530s), servers (Dell R420s, and C6100s), and host card adapters (10-Gbps Mellanox ConnectX2 and Intel 8259 x Ethernet cards). Previous NCCS work testing the FreeBSD operating system for high-performance routing reached a maximum of 4 million pps. Building on this work, we are comparing FreeBSD-11.0 and FreeBSD-Current along with implementing the netmap-fwd Application Programming Interface (API) and tuning the 10-gigabit Ethernet cards. We used the tools iperf3, nuttcp, and netperf to monitor the performance of the maximum bandwidth through the cards. Additional testing has involved enabling the Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) to achieve an active/active architecture. The tests have shown that at the optimally tuned and configured FreeBSD system, it is possible to create a system that can manage the huge amounts of pps needed to create a 100-Gbps firewall with commodity components. Some interesting findings: FreeBSD was able to send more pps as a client than Centos 6. Netmap-fwd increased the pps rate significantly. The choice of network card can have a significant impact on pps, tuning, and netmap support. Further tests will continue verifying the above results with even more capable systems-such as 40-gigabit and 100-gigabit Ethernet cards-to achieve even higher performance. In addition to hardware improvements, updates to the network capabilities in the FreeBSD-Current version will be closely monitored and applied as appropriate. The final result will be a reference architecture with representative hardware and software that will enable the NCCS to build, deploy, and efficiently maintain extremely cost-effective 100-Gbps firewalls. Netflix has already managed to saturate a 100 Gbps interface using only a single CPU Socket (rather than a dual socket server). Forwarding/routing is a bit different, but it is definitely on track to get there. Using a small number of commodity servers to firewall 100 Gbps of traffic just takes some careful planning and load balancing. Soon it will be possible using a single host. News Roundup iocell - A FreeBSD jail manager. (https://github.com/bartekrutkowski/iocell) Another jail manager has arrived on the scene, iocell, which begins life as a fork of the “classic” iocage. Due to its shared heritage, it offers much of the same functionality and flags as iocage users will be familiar with. For those who aren't up to speed with either products, some of those features include: Templates, clones, basejails, fully independent jails Ease of use Zero configuration files Rapid thin provisioning within seconds Automatic package installation Virtual networking stacks (vnet) Shared IP based jails (non vnet) Resource limits (CPU, MEMORY, DISK I/O, etc.) Filesystem quotas and reservations Dedicated ZFS datasets inside jails Transparent ZFS snapshot management Binary updates Differential jail packaging Export and import And many more! The program makes extensive use of ZFS for performing jail operations, so a zpool will be required (But doesn't have to be your boot-pool) It still looks “very” fresh, even using original iocage filenames in the repo, so a safe guess is that you'll be able to switch between iocage and iocell with relative ease. Fail2ban on OpenBSD 6.0 (http://blog.gordonturner.ca/2016/11/20/fail2ban-on-openbsd-6-0/) We've used Fail2Ban in PC-BSD before, due to it's ability to detect and block brute force attempts against a variety of services, including SSH, mail, and others. It even can work to detect jail brute force attempts, blocking IPs on the hosts firewall. However what about OpenBSD users? Well, Gordon Turner comes to the rescue today with a great writeup on deploying Fail2Ban specifically for that platform. Now, Fail2Ban is a python program, so you'll need to pkg install Python first, then he provides instructions on how to manually grab the F2B sources and install on OpenBSD. Helpfully Gordon gives us some handy links to scripts and modifications to get F2B running via RC as well, which is a bit different since F2B has both a server and client that must run together. With the installation bits out of the way, we get to next hit the “fun” stuff, which comes in the way of SSH brute force detection. Naturally we will be configuring F2B to use “pf” to do our actual blocking, but the examples shown give us full control over the knobs used to detect, and then ultimately call ‘pfctl' to do our heavy lifting. The last bits of the article give us a runthrough on how to “prime” pf with the correct block tables and performing basic administrative tasks to control F2B in production. A great article, and if you run an OpenBSD box exposed to the internet, you may want to bookmark this one. openbsd changes of note (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/openbsd-changes-of-note) Continuing with our OpenBSD news for the week, we have a new blog post by TedU, which gives us a bunch of notes on the things which have changed over there as of late: Some of the notables include: mcl2k2 pools and the em conversion. The details are in the commits, but the short story is that due to hardware limitations, a number of tradeoffs need to be made between performance and memory usage. The em chip can (mostly) only be programmed to write to 2k buffers. However, ethernet payloads are not nicely aligned. They're two bytes off. Leading to a costly choice. Provide a 2k buffer, and then copy all the data after the fact, which is slow. Or allocate a larger than 2k buffer, and provide em with a pointer that's 2 bytes offset. Previously, the next size up from 2k was 4k, which is quite wasteful. The new 2k2 buffer size still wastes a bit of memory, but much less. FreeType 2.7 is prettier than ever. vmm for i386. Improve security. vmm is still running with a phenomenal set of privileges, but perhaps some cross-VM attacks may be limited. On the other side of the world, hyperv support is getting better. Remove setlocale. setlocale was sprinkled all throughout the code base many years ago, even though it did nothing, in anticipation of a day when it would do something. We've since decided that day will never come, and so many setlocale calls can go. syspatch is coming. Lots of commits actually. Despite the name, it's more like a system update, since it replaces entire binaries. Then again, replacing a few binaries in a system is like patching small parts of the whole. A syspatch update will be smaller than an entire release. There's a new build system. It kind of works like before, but a lot of the details have changed to support less root. Actually, it'd be accurate to say the whole build privilege system has been flipped. Start as root, which drops down to the build user to do the heavy lifting, instead of starting as a user that can elevate to root at any time. This no longer requires the build user to be pseudo-root; in fact, the goal is that the build user can't elevate. There's several other items on this list, take a look for more details, and he also helpfully provides commit-links if you want to see more about any of these topics. It came from Bell Labs (http://media.bemyapp.com/came-bell-labs/#) A little late for a halloween episode, we have “It came from Bell Labs”, a fascinating article talking about the successor to UNIX, Plan9 There was once an operating system that was intended to be the successor to Unix. Plan 9 From Bell Labs was its name, and playing with it for five minutes is like visiting an alternate dimension where computers are done differently. It was so ahead of its time that it would be considered cutting edge, even today. Find out the weird and woolly history to Plan Nine's inception and eventual consignment as a footnote of operating systems today. So, if you've never heard of Plan 9, how did it exactly differ from the UNIX we know and love today? Here's just a few of the key features under Plan 9's hood + 9P – The distributed file system protocol. Everything runs through this, there is no escaping it. Since everything runs on top of 9P, that makes everything running on a Plan 9 box distributed as well. This means, for example, you can import /dev/audio from another machine on the network to use its sound card when your own machine doesn't have one. + ndb – The namespace server. In conjunction with 9P, it bosses all the programs around and forces them to comply to the Plan 9 way. + Instead of Unix sockets, all the networking just runs through 9P. Thus, everything from ethernet packets to network cards are all just one more kind of file. + While Unicode is implemented ad-hoc in other systems, it's baked into Plan 9 from the first int main(). In fact, even users who don't like Plan 9 have to admit that the character encoding support, together with the beautiful built-in rio font, makes every other operating system look primitive. + The system's own internal programs are built to be a rounded set of user tools from the ground up. So, for instance, it comes with its own editor, acme, built to be its own weird morphing thing that plays nice with the 9P protocol. Sounds neat, but how did it work in the real world? The result was a mixture of both breathtaking efficiency and alienating other-worldliness. Trying out the system is like a visit to an alternate reality where time-traveling gremlins changed how computers are made and used. You can execute anycommand anywhere just by typing its name and middle-clicking on it, even in the middle of reading a file. You can type out your blog post in the middle of a man page and save it right there. Screenshots are made by pointing /dev/screen to a file. When you execute a program in a terminal, the terminal morphs into the program you launched instead of running in the background. The window manager, rio, can be invoked within rio to create an instance of itself running inside itself. You can just keep going like that, until, like Inception, you get lost in which layer you're in. Get used to running Plan 9 long enough, and you will find yourself horribly ill-adapted for dealing with the normal world. While system administrators can't stop praising it, the average home user won't see much benefit unless they happen to run about eight desktop machines scattered all over. But to quote legendary hacker tribal bard Eric S. Raymond: “…Plan 9 failed simply because it fell short of being a compelling enough improvement on Unix to displace its ancestor.” A fascinating article, worth your time to read it through, even though we've pulled some of the best bits here. Nice look at the alternative dimension that could have been.
