Series: Revelation: The Best is Yet to ComeTitle: “Around the corner and around the world”Scripture: Revelation 10(Main commentary helps below at the end)Last week: “Have you got your heart in order?”This week: “Around the corner and around the world”My Bottom line:With his authorityto speak,his presenceto embolden, andhis wordto proclaim to the nations,Jesus recommissions his church in the tribulationto multiply disciple-makers (xDM)around the corner and around the world.IntroJim Hamilton tells the following story:“My parents had come to visit my sister and me. We were working at Kanakuk, a Christian sports camp in Missouri. But that night the softball game I was playing in wasn't over when my parents and sister were ready to go. I told them to go on, and they did.These were the days before cell phones. I knew my parents would be staying at a resort called Holiday Island, I began to wonder how in the world I would find my family. I got to Holiday Island and pulled into what looked like an office. Thankfully, someone came to the door, but when I asked if they could help me find which time-share my parents were in, I was told there were thousands of time-shares at Holiday Island. To make matters worse, there was no central system that logged all the units. He couldn't help me.Suddenly I realized that I was alone in the world, with no idea where to go, no clues as to where to start, and no way to contact my family. So I despondently got in my car and started driving father into Holiday Island. Then I saw a familiar sight: there was my sister's car! And under the windshield wiper was a note—I have it with me to this day. It reads as follows:Jimbo,We are at 15 Ironwood Dr. on the Island. Go to the Island—turn right on Appaloosa Dr.—2nd street is Ironwood Dr. Go to the end of the street. 15 Ironwood Drive.Love, DadPS: It is 7:20 pm—we will be back here at 8:20.It was 8:15 when I found that note. As I began to follow the directions, I soon crossed paths with my dad coming to get me, just as he said he would.Jim's father revealed to him detailed truths about the future that encouraged him not to give up in the present. Where his family was and when he was coming to get him.He gave him specific instructions on what to do and told him what he was going to do as well.Jim Hamilton's dad left him a note on his sister's car telling himExactly where his family was andExactly when he was coming to get him.I. 10:1-3 The Angel of Salvation through JudgmentNote the authority this angel has as he represents Christ. Later we'll hear authority from “The voice”.Reminds me of this funny story: https://bible.org/illustration/lighthouseLighthouseThe captain of the ship looked into the dark night and saw faint lights in the distance. Immediately he told his signalman to send a message” “Alter your course 10 degrees south.”Promptly a return message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees north.”The captain was angered; his command had been ignored. So he sent a second message: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am the captain!”Soon another message was received: Alter your course 10 degrees north—I am seaman third class Jones.”Immediately the captain sent a third message, knowing the fear it would evoke: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am a battleship.”Then the reply came “Alter your course 10 degrees north—I am a lighthouse.”In the midst of our dark and foggy times, all sorts of voices are shouting orders into the night, telling us what to do, how to adjust our lives.Out of the darkness, one voice signals something quite opposite to the rest—something almost absurd. But the voice happens to be the Light of the World, and we ignore it at our peril. (A voice of authority in life)Paul Aiello, Jr.II. 10:4-7 “No more delay” at the 7th trumpet“No more delay” - no more judgments; no more time to repent and believe; time to wrap this up!III. 10:8-11 John Eats the Scroll“The Voice” = The risen Lord Jesus Christ recommissioning John (and us); voice of authority (Either God the Father or God the Son)“Go” with authority“Take the scroll” = take my revealed words (could be the future but more likely the good news)“Eat the scroll” = Digest it so that you process it internally and then proclaim it having processed it personally along the way.“Prophecy again about” the nations - to the nations regardless of creed, religion, ethnicity, or anything else. All people.Summary: (note how this mirrors the Great Commission in Matt 28:19-20)GO: Go (or as you go) with authority (Holy Spirit authority)TAKE: With God's revealed words (Bible)EAT: Internalize the message personallyPROPHESY: Proclaim it again around the corner and around the world (to the nations cf. Acts 1:8)Compare with Matthew 28:16-20 and Acts 1:8 and see the similarities. (See Luke 24 and Mark 16 as well)Last week's challenge was to share Christ with the person God brought to mind at that time. How did you do? Did you take that as if it were from God? Did you ignore it? Did you see God move? He isn't done. And perhaps you have a second chance...but there are no guarantees as this poem suggests.Poem: "Around the Corner" (Charles Hanson Towne)Around the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end,Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell.And he rang mine but we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him",But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner, yet miles away,"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner, a vanished friend.2 major applications on top of...Be Confident. Be confident that God is Lord of all and will accomplish his purposes. Per the angel standing reminding us everything is under Jesus' feet, no terrorist, no rogue governments, no dictators, no usurpers of democracy, no kings are going to stand in the way of God's accomplishing his purposes.God Reveals Truth. We can know truth because God has revealed himself. We'll never have all knowledge—only God is omniscient. But we have knowledge because God gave Jesus the scroll. God—>Jesus—>Angel—>John—>us! We have it and can trust “the things that must soon take place” (1:1).ClosingJim Hamilton's dad left him a note on his sister's car telling himExactly where his family was andExactly when he was coming to get him.Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:1-3,“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”Almighty God has sent his angel to his servant John “to show to his servants the things that must soon take place” (1:1).Main commentary help:Exalting Jesus in Revelation by Daniel AkinRevelation by Jim HamiltonBreaking the Code by Bruce MetzgerSeven Seals by Matt Chandler, 2021 sermonESV Global Study BibleBible in One Year by Nicky GumbelBible Knowledge CommentaryThe Book of Revelation, NICNT, Robert Mounce

This week on BSD Now, we clear up some ZFS FUD, show you how to write a NetBSD kernel module, and cover DragonflyBSD on the desktop. This episode was brought to you by Headlines ZFS is the best file system (for now) (http://blog.fosketts.net/2017/07/10/zfs-best-filesystem-now/) In my ongoing effort to fight misinformation and FUD about ZFS, I would like to go through this post in detail and share my thoughts on the current state and future of OpenZFS. The post starts with: ZFS should have been great, but I kind of hate it: ZFS seems to be trapped in the past, before it was sidelined it as the cool storage project of choice; it's inflexible; it lacks modern flash integration; and it's not directly supported by most operating systems. But I put all my valuable data on ZFS because it simply offers the best level of data protection in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment. Here's why. When ZFS first appeared in 2005, it was absolutely with the times, but it's remained stuck there ever since. The ZFS engineers did a lot right when they combined the best features of a volume manager with a “zettabyte-scale” filesystem in Solaris 10 The skies first darkened in 2007, as NetApp sued Sun, claiming that their WAFL patents were infringed by ZFS. Sun counter-sued later that year, and the legal issues dragged on. The lawsuit was resolved, and it didn't really impede ZFS. Some say it is the reason that Apple didn't go with ZFS, but there are other theories too. By then, Sun was hitting hard times and Oracle swooped in to purchase the company. This sowed further doubt about the future of ZFS, since Oracle did not enjoy wide support from open source advocates. Yes, Oracle taking over Sun and closing the source for ZFS definitely seemed like a setback at the time, but the OpenZFS project was started and active development has continued as an ever increasing pace. As of today, more than half of the code in OpenZFS has been written since the fork from the last open version of Oracle ZFS. the CDDL license Sun applied to the ZFS code was https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/ (judged incompatible) with the GPLv2 that covers Linux, making it a non-starter for inclusion in the world's server operating system. That hasn't stopped the ZFS-on-Linux project, or Ubuntu… Although OpenSolaris continued after the Oracle acquisition, and FreeBSD embraced ZFS, this was pretty much the extent of its impact outside the enterprise. Sure, NexentaStor and http://blog.fosketts.net/2008/09/15/greenbytes-embraces-extends-zfs/ (GreenBytes) helped push ZFS forward in the enterprise, but Oracle's lackluster commitment to Sun in the datacenter started having an impact. Lots of companies have adopted OpenZFS for their products. Before OpenZFS, there were very few non-Sun appliances that used ZFS, now there are plenty. OpenZFS Wiki: Companies with products based on OpenZFS (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Companies) OpenZFS remains little-changed from what we had a decade ago. Other than the fact that half of the current code did not exist a decade ago… Many remain skeptical of deduplication, which hogs expensive RAM in the best-case scenario. This is one of the weaker points in ZFS. As it turns out, the demand for deduplication is actually not that strong. Most of the win can be had with transparent compression. However, there are a number of suggested designs to work around the dedup problems: Dedup Ceiling: Set a limit on the side of the DDT and just stop deduping new unique blocks when this limit is reached. Allocation Classes: A feature being developed by Intel for a supercomputer, will allow different types of data to be classified, and dedicated vdevs (or even metaslabs within a vdev), to be dedicated to that class of data. This could be extended to having the DDT live on a fast device like an PCIe NVMe, combined with the Dedup Ceiling when the device is full. DDT Pruning: Matt Ahrens described a design where items in the DDT with only a single reference, would be expired in an LRU type fashion, to allow newer blocks to live in the DDT in hopes that they would end up with more than a single reference. This doesn't cause bookkeeping problems since when a block is about to be freed, if it is NOT listed in the DDT, ZFS knows it was never deduplicated, so the current block must be the only reference, and it can safely be freed. This provides a best case scenario compared to Dedup Ceiling, since blocks that will deduplicate well, are likely to be written relatively close together, whereas the chance to a dedup match on a very old block is much lower. And I do mean expensive: Pretty much every ZFS FAQ flatly declares that ECC RAM is a must-have and 8 GB is the bare minimum. In my own experience with FreeNAS, 32 GB is a nice amount for an active small ZFS server, and this costs $200-$300 even at today's prices. As we talked about a few weeks ago, ECC is best, but it is not required. If you want your server to stay up for a long time, to be highly available, you'll put ECC in it. Don't let a lack of ECC stop you from using ZFS, you are just putting your data at more risk. The scrub of death is a myth. ZFS does not ‘require' lots of ram. Your NAS will work happily with 8 GB instead of 32 GB of RAM. Its cache hit ratio will be much lower, so performance will be worse. It won't be able to buffer as many writes, so performance will be worse. Copy-on-Write has some drawbacks, data tends to get scattered and fragmented across the drives when it is written gradually. The ARC (RAM Cache) lessens the pain of this, and allows ZFS to batch incoming writes up into nice contiguous writes. ZFS purposely alternates between reading and writing, since both are faster when the other is not happening. So writes are batched up until there is too much dirty data, or the timeout expires. Then reads are held off while the bulk linear write finishes as quickly as possible, and reads are resumed. Obviously all of this works better and more efficiently in larger batches, which you can do if you have more RAM. ZFS can be tuned to use less RAM, and if you do not have a lot of RAM, or you have a lot of other demand on your RAM, you should do that tuning. And ZFS never really adapted to today's world of widely-available flash storage: Although flash can be used to support the ZIL and L2ARC caches, these are of dubious value in a system with sufficient RAM, and ZFS has no true hybrid storage capability. It's laughable that the ZFS documentation obsesses over a few GB of SLC flash when multi-TB 3D NAND drives are on the market. And no one is talking about NVMe even though it's everywhere in performance PC's. Make up your mind, is 32GB of ram too expensive or not… the L2ARC exists specifically for the case where it is not possible to just install more RAM. Be it because there are no more slots, of limits of the processor, or limits of your budget. The SLOG is optional, but it never needs to be very big. A number of GBs of SLC flash is all you need, it is only holding writes that have not been flushed to the regular storage devices yet. The reason the documentation talks about SLC specifically is because your SLOG needs a very high write endurance, something never the newest NVMe devices cannot yet provide. Of course you can use NVMe devices with ZFS, lots of people do. All flash ZFS arrays are for sale right now. Other than maybe a little tuning of the device queue depths, ZFS just works and there is nothing to think about. However, to say there is nothing happening in this space is woefully inaccurate. The previously mentioned allocation classes code can be used to allocate metadata (4 KB blocks) on SSD or NVMe, while allocating bulk storage data (up to 16 MB blocks) on spinning disks. Extended a bit beyond what Intel is building for their super computer, this will basically create hybrid storage for ZFS. With the metaslab classes feature, it will even be possible to mix classes on the same device, grouping small allocations and large allocations in different areas, decreasing fragmentation. Then there's the question of flexibility, or lack thereof. Once you build a ZFS volume, it's pretty much fixed for life. There are only three ways to expand a storage pool: Replace each and every drive in the pool with a larger one (which is great but limiting and expensive) It depends on your pool layout. If you design with this in mind using ZFS Mirrors, it can be quite useful Add a stripe on another set of drives (which can lead to imbalanced performance and redundancy and a whole world of potential stupid stuff) The unbalanced LUNs performance issues were sorted out in 2013-2016. 2014: OpenZFS Allocation Performance (http://open-zfs.org/w/images/3/31/Performance-George_Wilson.pdf) 2016: OpenZFS space allocation: doubling performance on large and fragmented pools (http://www.bsdcan.org/2016/schedule/events/710.en.html) These also mostly solved the performance issues when a pool gets full, you can run a lot closer to the edge now Build a new pool and “zfs send” your datasets to it (which is what I do, even though it's kind of tricky) This is one way to do it, yes. There is another way coming, but I can't talk about it just yet. Look for big news later this year. Apart from option 3 above, you can't shrink a ZFS pool. Device removal is arriving now. It will not work for RAIDZ*, but for Mirrors and Stripes you will be able to remove a device. I've probably made ZFS sound pretty unappealing right about now. It was revolutionary but now it's startlingly limiting and out of touch with the present solid-state-dominated storage world. I don't feel like ZFS is out of touch with solid state. Lots of people are running SSD only pools. I will admit the tiered storage options in ZFS are a bit limited still, but there is a lot of work being done to overcome this. After all, reliably storing data is the only thing a storage system really has to do. All my important data goes on ZFS, from photos to music and movies to office files. It's going to be a long time before I trust anything other than ZFS! + I agree. + ZFS has a great track record of doing its most important job, keeping your data safe. + Work is ongoing to make ZFS more performance, and more flexible. The import thing is that this work is never allowed to compromise job #1, keeping your data safe. + Hybrid/tiered storage features, re-RAID-ing, are coming + There is a lot going on with OpenZFS, check out the notes from the last two OpenZFS Developer Summits just to get an idea of what some of those things are: 2015 (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit_2015) & 2016 (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit_2016) Some highlights: Compressed ARC Compressed send/recv ABD (arc buf scatter/gather) ZFS Native Encryption (scrub/resilver, send/recv, etc without encryption keys loaded) Channel Programs (do many administrative operations as one atomic transaction) Device Removal Redacted send/recv ZStandard Compression TRIM Support (FreeBSD has its own, but this will be more performant and universal) Faster Scrub/Resilver (https://youtu.be/SZFwv8BdBj4) Declustered RAID (https://youtu.be/MxKohtFSB4M) Allocation Classes (https://youtu.be/28fKiTWb2oM) Multi-mount protection (for Active/Passive failover) Zpool Checkpoint (undo almost anything) Even more Improved Allocator Performance vdev spacemap log ZIL performance improvements (w/ or w/o SLOG) Persistent L2ARC What I don't think the author of this article understands is how far behind every other filesystem is. 100s of Engineer years have gone into OpenZFS, and the pace is accelerating. I don't see how BtrFS can ever catch up, without a huge cash infusion. Writing a NetBSD kernel module (https://saurvs.github.io/post/writing-netbsd-kern-mod/) Kernel modules are object files used to extend an operating system's kernel functionality at run time. In this post, we'll look at implementing a simple character device driver as a kernel module in NetBSD. Once it is loaded, userspace processes will be able to write an arbitrary byte string to the device, and on every successive read expect a cryptographically-secure pseudorandom permutation of the original byte string. You will need the NetBSD Source Code. This doc (https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html) will explain how you can get it. The article gives an easy line by line walkthrough which is easy to follow and understand. The driver implements the bare minimum: open, close, read, and write, plus the module initialization function It explains the differences in how memory is allocated and freed in the kernel It also describes the process of using UIO to copy data back and forth between userspace and the kernel Create a Makefile, and compile the kernel module Then, create a simple userspace program to use the character device that the kernel module creates All the code is available here (https://github.com/saurvs/rperm-netbsd) *** DragonFlyBSD Desktop! (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2017/07/11/dragonflybsd-desktop/) If you read my last post (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2017/06/30/boot-all-the-things/), you know that I set up a machine (Thinkpad x230) with UEFI and four operating systems on it. One, I had no experience with – DragonFlyBSD (other than using Matthew Dillon's C compiler for the Amiga back in the day!) and so it was uncharted territory for me. After getting the install working, I started playing around inside of DragonFlyBSD and discovered to my delight that it was a great operating system with some really unique features – all with that BSD commitment to good documentation and a solid coupling of kernel and userland that doesn't exist (by design) in Linux. So my goal for my DragonFlyBSD desktop experience was to be as BSD as I possibly could. Given that (and since I'm the maintainer of the port on OpenBSD ), I went with Lumina as the desktop environment and XDM as the graphical login manager. I have to confess that I really like the xfce terminal application so I wanted to make sure I had that as well. Toss in Firefox, libreOffice and ownCloud sync client and I'm good to go! OK. So where to start. First, we need to get WiFi and wired networking happening for the console at login. To do that, I added the following to /etc/rc.conf: wlans_iwn0=”wlan0″ ifconfig_wlan0=”WPA DHCP” ifconfig_em0=”DHCP” I then edited /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to put in the details of my WiFi network: network={ ssid=”MY-NETWORK-NAME” psk=”my-super-secret-password” } A quick reboot showed that both wired and wireless networking were functional and automatically were assigned IP addresses via DHCP. Next up is to try getting into X with whatever DragonFlyBSD uses for its default window manager. A straight up “startx” met with, shall we say, less than stellar results. Therefore, I used the following command to generate a simple /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: # Xorg -configure # cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf With that file in place, I could get into the default window manager, but I had no mouse. After some searching and pinging folks on the mailing list, I was able to figure out what I needed to do. I added the following to my /etc/rc.conf file: moused_enable=”YES” moused_type=”auto” moused_port=”/dev/psm0″ I rebooted (I'm sure there is an easier way to get the changes but I don't know it… yet) and was able to get into a basic X session and have a functional mouse. Next up, installing and configuring Lumina! To do that, I went through the incredibly torturous process of installing Lumina: # pkg install lumina Wow! That was really, really hard. I might need to pause here to catch my breath.

Llega el capítulo 2x06 de Hijos de Obdulio podcast, más desprolijo que nunca, con un arranque DIFERENTE. En el Update nacho se pone baboso por Scarlett Johansson y después nos cuenta una horrible historia del día del niño que no deberíamos olvidar. Gonzalo trajo la review completa de la serie de History channel Vikings y un top de películas medievales muy épicas mientras que Nacho aporto una película más y un popurrí de animes medievales. Todo esto acompañado del humor de siempre y la mala onda contra Gonzalo característica del programa.

How do you take criticism? How do you react, if you even do react? Does criticism cause you to change the way you work? Criticism can come from your peers in a writing group, from editors sending you rejection letters, and from those one-star Amazon reviewers who are out there looking for something to hate. In this episode we provide anecdotes from other authors including Patrick Rothfuss and Kevin J. Anderson, and share our own experiences about criticism we've gotten and how we've responded to it. This episode of Writing Excuses is brought to you by XDM: X-Treme Dungeon Mastery, by Tracy and Curtis Hickman, and illustrated by Howard Tayler. Pre-orders for XDM open on Wednesday, July 1st. Writing Prompt: Write a story about a critic who is the hero.
