Not for a huge board with tons of effects, but for the super clean and buttoned-up look of the pro-built boards. Xact Tone Solutions has built my favorites, so I finally decided to have a larger board built around a UA Dream 65 amp modeler, yet that could also go to an amp, or both. I also decided to get the XTS treatment on my tried and true grab-go board. This is a walk-through of my board with Barry and Eric, who have no issues with adding their valuable input or giving me a hard time. Gear used:Turbo Tuner, Mirage Compressor, Analogman Boss TR-2, Ibanez Mostortion rehoused by XTS, Boss DM-3 analog delay, Line 6 Echo Park.

In cybersecurity, the teaching of Cloud security is often weak. So, here are my Top 100 things about encryption in the Cloud. I've focused on AWS, but Azure is likely to also be applicable. Keys are created in the AWS KMS (Key Management Store). In Azure, this is named KeyVault. The cost of using a key in KMS is around $1/month (prorated hourly). When a key is disabled, it is not charged. With AWS KMS, we use a shared customer HSM (Hardware Security Module), and with AWS CloudHSM it is dedidated to one customer. For data at rest, with file storage, we can integrate encryption with Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage) and Amazon S3. Amazon EBS drives are encrypted with AES-256 with XTS mode. For AWS-managed keys, a unique key is used for every object within S3 buckets. Amazon S3 uses server-side encryption to store encrypted data. The customer can use client-side encryption to encrypt data before it is stored in the AWS infrastructure. AWS uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) for its symmetric key encryption. In AWS S3, by default, all the objects are encrypted. A customer can use client-side encryption to encrypt data before it goes into the AWS infrastructure. For data at rest, for databases, we can integrate encryption with Amazon RDS (AWS's relational database service) and Amazon Redshift (AWS's data warehousing). For data at rest, we can integrate encryption into ElastiCache (AWS's content caching service), AWS Lambda (AWS's serverless computing service), and Amazon SageMake (AWS's machine learning service). Keys are tokenized and have an ARN (Amazon Resource Names) and alias. An example ARN for a key is arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:103269750866:key/de30e8e6-c753–4a2c-881a-53c761242644, and an example alias is “Bill's Key”. Both of these should be unique in the user's account. To define a KMS key, we can either use its key ID, its key ARN, its alias name, or alias ARN. You can link keys to other AWS Accounts. For this, we specify in the form of “arn:aws:iam::[AWS ID]:root”, and where AWS ID is the ID of the other AWS account. To enhance security, we can use AWS CloudHSM (Hardware Security Module). For simpler and less costly solutions, we typically use AWS KMS (Key Management Solution). For CloudHSM, we pay per hour, but for KMS, we just pay for the usage of the keys. The application of the keys is restricted to defined services. Key identifiers and policies are defined with a JSON key-value pair for data objects. Each key should have a unique GUID, such as “de30e8e6-c753–4a2c-881a-53c761242644”. Users are identified and roles are identified with an ARN, such as : “arn:aws:iam::222222:root”. With the usage of keys we have Key Administrative Permission and a Key Usage policies. There is an explicit denial on a policy if there is not a specific allow defined in a policy. For key permissions, we have fields of “Sid” (the descriptive name of the policy), “Effect” (typically “Allow”), Principal (the ARN of the user/group), “Action” (such as Create, Disable and Delete) and “Resource”. A wildcard (“*”) allows or disallows all. To enable a user of “root” access to everything with a key would be : “Sid”: “Enable IAM User Permissions”, “Effect”: “Allow”,“Principal”: {“AWS”: “arn:aws:iam::22222222:root”},“Action”: “kms:*”, “Resource”: “*”}. The main operations within the KMS are to encrypt/decrpyt data, sign/verify signatures, export data keys, and generate/verify MACs (Message Authentication Codes). Key are either AWS managed (such as for the Lambda service), Customer managed keys (these are created and managed by the customer). Custom key stores are where the customer has complete control over the keys). The main use of keys are for EC2 (Compute), EBS (Elastic Block Storage) and S3 (Storage). AES symmetric keys or an RSA key pair are used to encrypt and decrypt. RSA uses 2K, 3K or 4K keys, and with either “RSA PCKS1 v1.5” or “RSA PSS” padding. RSA PCKS1 v1.5 padding is susceptible to Bleichenbacher's attack, so it should only be used for legacy applications, and for all others, we should use RSA PSS. For RSA, we can use a hashing method of SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512. In RSA, we encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private key. For signatures, we can use either RSA or ECC signing. For RSA, we have 2K, 3K, or 4K keys, whereas ECC signing uses NIST P256, NIST P384, NIST P521, and SECG P256k1 (as used in Bitcoin and Ethereum). For MACs (Message Authentication Codes), Bob and Alice have the same shared secret key and can authenticate the hash version of a message. In the KMS, we can have HMAC-224, HMAC-256, HMAC-384 and HMAC-512. KMS uses hardware security modules (HSMs) with FIPS 140–2 and which cannot be accessed by AWS employees (or any other customer). Keys will never appear in an AWS disk or backup, and only existing the memory of the HSM. They are only loaded when used. Encryption keys can be restricted to one region of the world (unless defined by the user). With symmetric keys, the key never appears outside the HSM, and for asymmetric keys (public key encryption), the private key stays inside the HSM, and only the public key is exported outside. AWS CloudWatch shows how and when the encryption keys are being used. The minimum time that can be set for a key to be deleted is seven days (and up to 30 days maximum). An organisation can also create its own HSM with the CloudHSM cluster. When a key is then created in KMS, it is then stored in the cluster. The usage of encryption keys should be limited to a minimal set of service requirements. If possible, separate key managers and key users. With a key management (KEY_ADMINISTRATOR) role, we typically have the rights to create, revoke, put, get, list and disable keys. The key management role will typically not be able to encrypt and decrypt. For a key user (KEY_WORKER) role, we cannot create or delete keys and typically focus on tasks such as encrypting and decrypting. Hae a rule of minimum access rights, and simplify user access by defining key administration and usage roles. Users are then added to these roles. Avoid manual updates to keys and use key rotation. The system keeps track of keys that are rotated and can use previously defined ones. The default time to rotate keys is once every year. Key rotation shows up in the CloudWatch and CloudTrail logs. KMS complies with PCI DSS Level 1, FIPS 140–2, FedRAMP, and HIPAA. AWS KMS is matched to FIPS 140–2 Level 2. AWS CloudHSM complies with FIPS 140–2 Level 3 validated HSMs. AWS CloudHSM costs around $1.45 per hour to run, and the costs end when it is disabled or deleted. The CloudHSM is backed-up every 24 hours, and where we can cluster the HSMs into a single logical HSM. CloudHSM can be replicated in AWS regions. AWS KSM is limited to the popular encryption methods, whereas the CloudHSM can implement a wider range of methods. The CloudHSM can support methods such as 3DES with AWS Payment Cryptography. This complies with payment card industry (PCI) standards, such as PCI PIN, PCI P2PE, and PCI DSS. In the CloudHSM for payments, we can generate CVV, CVV2 and ARQC values, and where sensitive details never exist outside the HSM in an unprotected form. With the CloudHSM, we have a command line interface where we can issue commands, and is named CloudHSM CLI. Within the CloudHSM CLI, we can use the genSymKey command to generate symmetric key within the HSM, such as where -t is a key type (31 is AES), -s is a key size (32 bytes) and -l is the label: genSymKey -t 31 -s 32 -l aes256 With genSymKey the key types are: 16 (Generic Secret), 18 (RC4), 21 (Triple DES), and 31 (AES). Within the CloudHSM CLI, we can use the genRSAKeyPair command to generate an RSA key pair, such as where -m is the modulus and -e is the public exponent: genRSAKeyPair -m 2048 -e 65537 -l mykey AWS CloudHSM is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, and where we can track user, role, or an AWS service within AWS CloudHSM. With AWS Payments Cryptography, the 2KEY TDES is Two-key Triple DES and has a 112-bit equivalent key size. The Pin Encryption Key (PEK) is used to encryption PIN values and uses a KEY TDES key. This can store PINs in a secure way, and then decrypt them when required. S3 buckets can be encrypted either with Amazon S3-managed keys (SSE-S3) or AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys. There is no cost to use SSE keys. For symmetric key encryption, AWS uses envelope encryption, and where a random key is used to encrypt data, and then the key is encrypted with the user's key. AWS should not be able to access the key used for the encryption. The default in creating an encryption key is for it only be to used in a single region, but this can be changed to multi-region, and where the key will be replicated across more than one region. In AWS, a region is a geographical area, and which is split into isolated locations. US-East-1 (N.Virginia) and US-East-2 (Ohio) are different regions, while us-east-1a, us-east-1b and us-east-1c are in the same region. A single region key the US-East-1 region would replicate across eu-east-1a, eu-east-1b and eu-east-1c, and not to eu-east-2a, eu-east-2b and eu-east-2c. When creating a key, you can either create in the KMS, import a key (BYOK — bring your own key), create in the AWS CloudHSM, or create in an external key store (HYOK — hold you own key). For keys stored on-premise we can use an external key store (XKS) — this can be defined as Hold Your Own Keys (HYOKs), and where and where no entity in AWS will able to read any of the encrypted data. [here]. You can BYOK (bring your own key) with KMS, and import keys. KMS will keep a copy of this key. With XKS, we need a proxy URI endpoint, with the proxy credentials of an access key ID, and secret access key. To export keys from AWS CloudHSM, we can encrypt them with an AES key. This is known as key wrapping, as defined in RFC 5648 (for padding with zeros) or RFC 3394 (without padding). A strong password should always be used for key wrapping. AWS encryption operations can either be conducted from the command line or within API, such as with Python, Node.js or Golang. With KMS, the maximum data size is 4,096 bytes for a symmetric key, 190 bytes for RSA 2048 OAEP SHA-256, 318 bytes for RSA 3072 OAEP SHA-256, ad 446 bytes for RSA 4096 OAEP SHA-256. An example command to encrypt a file for 1.txt with symmetric key encryption is: aws kms encryp --key-id alias/MySymKey --plaintext fileb://1.txt --query CiphertextBlob --output text > 1.out To decrypt a file with symmetric key encryption, an example with 1.enc is: aws kms decrypt --key-id alias/BillsNewKey --output text --query Plaintext --ciphertext-blob fileb://1.enc > 2.out In Python, to integrate with KMS, we use the Boto3 library. The standard output of encrypted content is in byte format. If we need to have a text version of ciphertext, we typically use Base64 format. The base64 command can be used to convert byte format in Base64, such as with: $ base64 -i 1.out — decode > 1.enc The xxd command in the command line allows the cipher text to be dumped to a hex output and can then be edited. We can then convert it back to a binary output with: An example piece of Python code for encrypting a plaintext message with the symmetric key in Python is: ciphertext = kms_client.encrypt(KeyId=alias,Plaintext=bytes(secret, encoding='utf8') An example piece of Python code to decrypt some cipher text (in Base64 format) is: plain_text = kms_client.decrypt(KeyId=alias,CiphertextBlob=bytes(base64.b64decode(ciphertext))) To generate an HMAC signature for a message in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms generate-mac --key-id alias/MyHMACKey --message fileb://1.txt --mac-algorithm HMAC_SHA_256 --query Mac > 4.out To verify an HMAC signature for a message in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms verify-mac -key-id alias/MyHMACKey -message fileb://1.txt -mac-algorithm HMAC_SHA_256 -mac fileb://4.mac To create an ECDSA signature in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms sign -key-id alias/MyPublicKeyForSigning -message fileb://1.txt -signing-algorithm ECDSA_SHA_256 -query Signature > 1.out To verify an ECDSA signature in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms verify -key-id alias/MyPublicKeyForSigning -message fileb://1.txt -signature fileb://1.sig -signing-algorithm ECDSA_SHA_256 To encrypt data using RSA in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms encrypt -key-id alias/PublicKeyForDemo -plaintext fileb://1.txt -query CiphertextBlob -output text -encryption-algorithm RSAES_OAEP_SHA_1 > 1.out To decrypt data using RSA in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms decryptb -key-id alias/PublicKeyForDemo -output text -query Plaintext -ciphertext-blob fileb://1.enc -encryption-algorithm RSAES_OAEP_SHA_1 > 2.out To sign data using RSA in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms sign --key-id alias/MyRSAKey --message fileb://1.txt --signing-algorithm RSASSA_PSS_SHA_256 --query Signature --output text > 1.out To verify data using RSA in the command line, we have the form of: aws kms verify --key-id alias/MyRSAKey --message fileb://1.txt — signature fileb://1.sig --signing-algorithm RSASSA_PSS_SHA_256 You cannot encrypt data with Elliptic Curve keys. Only RSA and AES can do that. Elliptic Curve keys are used to sign data. If you delete an encryption key, you will not be able to decrypt any ciphertext that uses it. We can store our secrets, such as application passwords, in the secrets manager. An example of a secret name of “my-secret-passphrase” and a secret string of “Qwery123” we can have: aws secretsmanager create-secret --name my-secret-passphrase --secret-string Qwerty123 In China regions, along with RSA and ECDSA, you can use SM2 KMS signing keys. In China Regions, we can use SM2PKE to encrypt data with asymmetric key encryption. Find out more here: https://asecuritysite.com/aws

On the anniversary of Reggie Young's passing, January 17, 2019, Zac Childs pays tribute to him in this episode of Ask Zac. Reggie was more than a great guitarist, he was a great person. Through personal anecdotes, and sharing those of others that Zac has collected, we get a look at Reggie the man. Also in this episode, Zac dissects the intro, verse, and chorus guitar parts of "Drift Away." He also covers Young's gear through the years, and how at heart, Reggie was a bit of a gear minimalist, relying on a 1957 Strat, 1969 Telecaster, BF Deluxe Reverb, and a small pedalboard for much of his career.Zac's Spotify Playlist for Reggie Younghttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/2kk...Zac interviewing Reggie for the Truetone Lounge:   • Reggie Young | Tr...  Ace Records excellent career overview, Reggie Young Session Guitar Star https://amzn.to/39TJj25Also check out Reggie's Forever Young, his album of instrumentalshttps://amzn.to/2TQ6a98Zac's gear for this video1967 Telecaster - D'Addario XL120+ 95-44 strings https://amzn.to/3a5qxVi1965 Deluxe Reverb with Celestion Vintage 30 speakerReggie inspired Board:Vintage MXR Script logo Dyna CompBoss Volume PedalBoss DD-2 Delay1980 TC Electronic Chorus pedal, modified by XTS to use 18v DCBoss TU-12HTruetone CS6 for power  https://amzn.to/38S9rZKAlso on board, but not used:Voodoo Lab Sparkle DriveDemeter Tremulator#askzac #guitartech #telecasterSupport the show

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注！同样的CT6，4年暴跌15万2016年7月底，南京突然传出了要限牌的小道消息，也不知道是谁先开的头，但是当时知道这事的人还挺多。我就记得那一天还在睡梦中，我爸突然打电话给我，说南京要限牌了，前一秒我还是迷迷糊糊的，下一秒一下就惊醒了。传垚不传谣，但是传垚信谣。一听这个消息我就急了，当时家里还没有车，那还犹豫什么？但问题又来了，那时我在澳洲上学，家里只有我一人有驾照。7月底，距离澳洲大学开学还有一个礼拜，车买回来，一停就是好几个月直到我下次放假回国。于是，我爸想着先买一台二手破车，解决牌照问题。但是，买车是我盼了几年的大好事，当然希望一步到位。我爸犟不过我，只好答应，哎当时真不懂事。当天晚上，我就选好了车，选什么不好，偏偏选了当时刚刚上市不久的凯迪拉克CT6。现在想想也是，2016年E级、5系、A6L没有换代，捷豹XF、沃尔沃S90还是进口，好像也没什么可选的。第二天，赶到4S店，看车砍价，一气呵成；第三天，赶到4S店，贷款审核等太久，那就全款提车走；第四天，上完牌照，贴完窗膜，兜了会风，拉上车衣，告别走人……几个月后我放假回国，将车开回4S店首保，售后经理看到我的表显里程都不敢相信，240公里？！现在和爸妈谈起这件事，我们都很无奈，当时爸妈每周都要特地去地库发动一下车，生怕电瓶没电。发动的时候，他俩没事就干坐在车里，我妈会晕车，她现在还记得当时车里的那股新车味道。这就是我们家第一台车的故事，一件平常可能要纠结几个月的大事，在限牌谣言的促使下几天内就草草完事。至于当时提车的落地价格，这是我不愿提及的痛：2016款28T豪华型，官方指导价48.99万，优惠8万裸车40.99万，落地47万不到。而前不久，我们的兔子也买了一台CT6，身为野马车主，他选择CT6的原因是“可以舒舒服服带娃”。选一款方向盘会自动往洗浴中心跑偏的车带娃，我也是信了。他的落地价格就非常劲爆了：2021款28T精英型，官方指导价39.97万，优惠11.5万，落地32万以内。我问他为什么不买更主流的豪华型，配置上一个档次也差不了多少钱。兔子的回答很耿直：“因为不喜欢液晶仪表。”32万以内，还不是最低配，这是什么神仙价格？我仍然记得当年CT6刚上市时的定位：标准轴距的大型轿车，3.0L双涡轮增压的40T车型错位竞争S级、7系、A8L，2.0T的28T车型直接竞争E级、5系、A6L。但理想有多美好，现实就有多残酷。在美国老家，凯迪拉克CT6已于今年正式停产，现在我们见到的中期改款CT6，大概率是CT6简短一生中的最后一个版本。在国内CT6在2019年改款之后不仅取消了原先59.99-81.88万的40T车型，同时还全面下调28T车型的官方指导价，由43.99-61.99万降到37.97-48.97万，相当于来了一次官方降级。现在再对比一下当初被拿来与CT6比较最多的、同时也是运动调性最相似的5系，低配的525Li现在的落地价格在46万左右，而明显低CT6一个级别的3系，想要落地主流的325Li也需掏出36万左右。所以现在有那么一句话，CT4的对手是3系，CT5的对手是3系，现在CT6的对手也变成了3系。为什么会这样？通用错过的10年时间回到1978年，中国汽车工业公司希望在北京建立一个大型的汽车联合企业，以轻型车为主，包括轿车、客货两用车等车型。中汽首先想到的合资对象就是通用，而且后来还考虑到单靠中汽的力量不够，还联合了航天工业部、兵器工业部参加。然而由于中美双方在大型铸造厂的选址问题上意见不同，这个宏大的项目就此告吹。后来，政府决定在上海建立轿车生产基地，提出要引进一批机电产品装配线，借此发展对外加工装配业务，当中就包括了一条轿车装配线。当时首选的合资对象是丰田，但是丰田正投入大量精力在北美打造雷克萨斯品牌，根本无暇考虑合资事宜。加上丰田高层认为那时候的国内消费力低下，应该先合力发展商用车市场，不愿投巨资到轿车项目，所以作罢。德国大众的高层听闻后，马上与中国政府开展接触工作，来来回回折腾了很多次，直到1984年正式和上汽集团的前身，也就是上海汽车拖拉机联营公司签订了合资合同。到了1985年3月，“上海大众（上汽大众）”正式成立。上海大众成立，德国人舒舒服服吃了一波红利，并且国家在1988年提出了“三大三小两微”战略，只支持一汽大众、上海大众、东风神龙这“三大”，北京吉普、天津夏利和广州标致这“三小”，以及长安奥拓和贵州云雀这“两微”的基地建设。彼时的通用已经看到了大众在中国的战绩，毕竟“三大”里面有两个都是大众，美国佬满肚子都是羡慕嫉妒恨，所以极度想进入中国市场。于是在1991年终于通过和金杯合作的方式进入国内，成立了“金杯通用汽车公司”，通用就此一边和金杯一起搞雪佛兰S10系列轻型载货汽车，一边等待机会。时间来到1994年，国内发布了首个汽车产业政策，到1995年底前不再批准轿车和轻型车的新整车项目，这让通用这种本来想静静等待政策转机的厂家一脸懵X。好在功夫不负有心人，到了1994年11月事态发生了转机，在一次轿车技术交流会上，政府表示中国汽车工业将把主要方向从载货车转为轿车生产，还把公费购买市场转为家庭消费为主。通用一下子就抓住了这个机会，毕竟之前已经失去了太多，立马着手与上汽进行谈判。当时，同样和上汽进行接洽的其实不止通用一家，还有福特跟丰田。但是丰田太积极，在1994年11月之前就来了，尽管那时候的丰田社长丰田达郎表示要合资生产20万台皇冠，但受制于国务院颁布的《汽车工业产业政策》，这一项合作就没有达成，丰田很郁闷，不过我估计上汽也挺郁闷的，这个合作要是达成了，现在也没有广丰什么事了，估计得叫上丰。而福特没能达成合作，主要原因是自己作妖，那时候福特强烈坚持自己的控股比例大于50%，所以只能告吹。最后，通用公司粉墨登场，在吸取了之前的教训之后，通用直接大手一挥“我出15个亿，而且是美金”，要知道后来的长安福特，一开始的总投资额也不过9800万美元。同时，上汽的态度也很微妙，小算盘也是打得劈啪作响，一方面上汽希望可以通过和通用的合作来抗衡大众，迫使其引入新车型；另一方面还看中了通用的德尔福在零部件配套上的优势，于是在“浦东轿车项目”上双方很快达成共识。1997年3月，上汽和通用正式签署合资合同，通用答应将那时候最新的车型带到中国，共同发展中高级轿车项目。也就是说，从1978年到1997年，通用整整用了10年时间才正式和中国的消费者见面。通用最先希望引入雪佛兰进行国产，但是中方认为雪佛兰的档次太低，后来通用又向中方推荐了欧宝，但经过调研发现，当时国内市场主要是公务车市场，倾向于大排量和大尺寸车型，因此欧宝也没有下文了。最后的选择就在别克和凯迪拉克之间，由于通用当时不想国产凯迪拉克，最终决定只有别克了，于是通用就靠别克的新世纪和赛欧拉开了在中国市场的序幕。到了2004年，上汽通用已然成长为一颗参天大树，于是决定将凯迪拉克正式落户上汽通用，比北京奔驰还早了一年。但是，凯迪拉克在国内的路一直都不是很顺利。首先是在2005年，凯迪拉克CTS正式国产上市，推出了三个配置，分别是2.8L V6版本、3.6L V6版本和3.6L V6高性能版。官方指导价也很直白，就按排量来定价格，2.8L的43.8万，3.6L的51.8万。现在看这车绝对是诚意满满，在那个年代，3.6L的CTS就已经能做到百公里加速6.7秒，而且配备的还是5AT变速箱，高性能版还有制动力分配、牵引力控制和车身稳定系统。并且，还能看见前排座椅加热、电动座椅记忆、中控彩色液晶屏幕、可调高度的大灯、后视镜加热等等那个年代非常稀有的功能。如果把这车放到现在，很多人绝对会夸它“原汁原味”，但是对于当时那些愿意花五十来万去买车的人而言，这个车空间小、油耗高、价格贵，牌子也不是很硬，结果就是……凉凉。在CTS惨败之后，凯迪拉克重振旗鼓，又在2007年把STS拉进国内生产，而且通用还借鉴了奥迪的成功经验，把海外的STS进行了加长，变成了我们后来看到的SLS赛威。这个系列不仅推出了2.8L V6和3.6L V6版本，还推出了4.6L V8的旗舰型。如果你觉得大排量发动机就已经有些不讲武德了，那我再说几个让人惊讶的配置和技术：发动机全系配有可变气门正时和电子节气门控制技术，前轮配备左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架，至于ABS、制动力分配、刹车辅助、牵引力控制、车身稳定控制、无钥匙进入、无钥匙启动、多功能方向盘、电动座椅记忆、蓝牙车载电话等等也是全系标配，并且旗舰型还有后排座椅电动调节、后排座椅加热、车载电视。凯迪拉克把所有的高精尖技术一股脑全用在了SLS上面，带来的结果却让人大跌眼镜，这台车在当年被无数人吐槽：价格太贵了、油耗太高了，因为即使你把配置堆得这么香，技术弄得这么高端，但是很多都是在消费者看不到的地方（现在的凯迪拉克也是这样）。就比如那个左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架，大多数人根本搞不清楚这玩意儿有什么用，那时候看重的是车子够大、坐起来够舒服、开出去有面子。凯迪拉克发现，自己大排量的车型水土不服，只能痛定思痛开始转变思路，于是在2010年底引入了2.0T发动机，所以后来2011款的SLS就有了2.0T版本，准入门槛也从过去的44.8万下降至38.88万，这还不算大幅度的市场优惠。所以如果说凯迪拉克疯狂打折是从什么时候开始的，我觉得就是从2011年这台2.0T的SLS开始的。到了2013年，鉴于之前的销量，凯迪拉克做出了调整，决定搞“错位竞争”，用XTS这款中大型车去和BBA的中型车进行PK，凭借价格和尺寸的优势，虽然XTS的打法非常另类，但是就此站稳了。后来，凯迪拉克又在轿车系列中把ATS进行国产变成了ATS-L，通过大幅度的降价和确实很香的配置，从BBA手里抢走不少客户，凯迪拉克尝到了甜头。似乎一切都在往好的方向发展，虽然在品牌和销量之间进行了一些取舍，但好在有销量支撑，能赚钱比什么都强。可是，凯迪拉克在市场营销上后续的骚操作，则一下把自己推上了风口浪尖。2016年初，国产的CT6正式上市，凯迪拉克很重视，消费者也很期待。凯迪拉克先是搞了个“以D打C”和“二打一”的策略，用CT6+XTS两台车去攻占中大型车市场，其实主要目标也就是E级、5系、A6L。CT6作为高端旗舰提升调性，XTS则是用低价正面硬刚。凯迪拉克发现，自己的策略还可以，好歹还有那么一丢丢的销量，于是骚操作开始了。他们搞了一个“5+1=6”的活动，在2016年6月22日到7月31日期间，只要你手里有一台个人一手的宝马5系，不管国产还是进口，制造年份在2012至2014年之间（520车型要2013至2014年），车辆里程小于8万公里，车况保证无大事故、无火烧、无泡水，你就可以用这台车加一块钱人民币去换一台官方指导价43.99万的CT6 28T时尚型回来，如果想要更高的配置，贴补配置的差价就可以。凯迪拉克这个活动堪称营销学中的典型失败案例，可以直接写进教科书当反面教材的那种，直接把CT6这张好牌打得稀烂，以至于很多人都觉得官方这个行为就是明示CT6的新车就和二手的5系一个价。据说最后有3000多人报名，一系列严苛规则筛选后只剩下4人，那我想问搞这么大动静你图什么呢？最早一批原价买了CT6的车主们，尤其是40T车主，还做着对标S级、7系和A8L的美梦，结果被官方这么一带节奏，自己心态彻底崩了是小，手里的车哗啦啦贬值才是大……结果，在这波骚操作过后，凯迪拉克的品牌力一下子跌了不少，加上后来各大4S店在国5转国6的时候又开始清仓大甩卖，15万的ATS-L秀出天际，从此凯迪拉克在中国市场里变成了价格骨折的代名词。在ATS-L结束了自己的历史使命后，凯迪拉克进行了大幅度的产品线调整，把原来的“TS”轿车线，也就是ATS、XTS、CTS、SLS（海外叫STS）全都砍掉，变成了现在“CT4、5、6”的轿车线和“XT4、5、6”的SUV线，外加百万级的凯雷德，喜欢哪个选哪个。当然，凯迪拉克这样的操作虽然自降身价，但的确带来了不小的福利。在大幅降价的策略下，凯迪拉克几乎做到了中美同价，而且即使有这么大的优惠，凯迪拉克依旧不亏。因为他们现在除了凯雷德之外，全系都配备了代号LSY的2.0T发动机，加上通用自己的工厂不止在做凯迪拉克，同时还在做别克和雪佛兰，成本一下子就摊薄了，这也是为什么凯迪拉克有底气做到以价换量。各款凯迪拉克轿车的优缺点那么，凯迪拉克的车到底怎么样，今天暂时先聊一聊它的轿车线。CT6最开始的对手是E级、5系、A6L，但这都是老黄页了。现在但凡是预算充裕的人，恐怕都不会在CT6与这三款车之间纠结，即使是用CT6的高配去对比这三款车的低配，大多数人也会在后者当中三选一。CT6目前最直接的竞争对手一定是沃尔沃的S90，即将换代的捷豹XFL暂时退出竞争，S90也是这么想的，为了干掉CT6特地停产了2.0T低功率的T4车型。现在CT6主流的28T豪华型和S90主流的B5智逸豪华/运动版价格都差不多，都已经沦落到了36万左右即可落地。CT6和5系有点像，都是那种有运动感的中大型车，但是换了LSY发动机之后只剩下237马力、350牛米，相比老款LTG发动机的276马力、400牛米，等于自废武功。不过CT6好歹是纵置后驱车，相比前驱S90在操控上多少会有一些优势，如果是拥有电磁悬挂和后轮转向优势会非常明显，但那是价格更高的次顶配和顶配才有的玩意儿。除此之外CT6的底盘最初是对标S级这种大型车的，行驶质感会好过S90那单薄的底盘，同时CT6同级别绝对一流的隔音静谧性，也是S90没有的。而S90的优势在于全系标配的主动安全系统，车道偏离预警、车道保持、主动刹车……此外CT6巨大的车身在小街小巷中穿梭非常吃力，在非主路调头的时候更会让你痛不欲生，但S90在车长短了十几公分的前提下，后排空间竟然比CT6还要再大不少。用“只有差异，没有差距”形容现在的CT6和S90再合适不过了，这哥俩都跳水跳成这样了，选谁都没有错。唯一的区别是，CT6在年轻群体当中更受欢迎，而S90的车主年纪普遍偏大一些。其实也有人会拿CT6去对比雷克萨斯ES，尤其是ES200。我反倒觉得这两车的受众群体完全不同，大多数CT6车主都会觉得ES200这种车就是“高价低能、换壳凯美瑞”，而ES200车主会觉得既然你不懂我，我也没必要和你争。此外还有人拿CT6对比3系的，所以说CT6的对手是3系还真不是一句调侃……再简单聊聊CT5和CT4。CT5是一款非常有潜力去竞争3系的车，但依然扛不住凯迪拉克的降价大法。而CT5的车主又可以分成两类，一类是顶配，一类是其他。大部分CT5车主的预算距离3系还是差了些，但他们又想得到一台豪华运动后驱车，CT5的价格合适（28T技术型落地26万，28T豪华型落地28万），那就直接提走。而顶配的28T铂金运动版车主才是真爱（落地33万），他们的预算再加一些就足够入手3系的325i和325Li了，但是顶配的电磁悬挂、Brembo刹车、PS4S轮胎、限滑差速器每一样都是狠货，让他们毅然决然放弃宝马标去追求这些只供自己愉悦的东西。至于CT5和3系怎么选？完全看你的钱包厚度，如果预算只够CT5低配，那也没什么好选的。如果预算够上CT5顶配，顶配的CT5在机械素质层面肯定要比现在的325i和325Li更好，现在的CT5反而比3系更像3系。但如果你想要舒舒服服家用，那还是长轴的325Li更香一点，有着5系一般舒适的悬挂调校。但在330i和330Li这俩动力怪物面前，即使是顶配的CT5也没有太多竞争力了，首先价格就不在一个档次了。至于CT4，对于那些兜里没什么钱又想要运动和后驱的人来说，CT4在性能和配置上具有足够的吸引力，同时中型车的定位在级别上也更加吃香。但是假如你在有女朋友或者老婆的情况下还想买这车的话，那你就得祈祷自己的另一半不看网络段子，不然她绝对会时时刻刻盯着你的行踪，顺便把你所有车友会的微信群都退掉。写在最后回想那个XTS、CTS、SLS、SRX的时代，凯迪拉克就像是一个小众但非常有情怀的美式豪华品牌，是所有美系爱好者都向往的dream car，但价格总是妨碍我们去实现梦想。降价当然是好事，曾经高高在上的凯迪拉克，现在不说唾手可得吧，至少入手难度已经连降好几级。从销量上看，现在的凯迪拉克也远比当年的凯迪拉克成功，但过于简单粗暴的降价反倒会让一批豪华品牌消费者感到廉价。这些人往往感性大于理性，贵就是好好就是贵，车再好也不如一枚自带光环的车标来得重要，以至于凯迪拉克在他们眼里已经变成了差一口气上BBA的无奈之选。现在，奔驰代表豪华；宝马代表运动；奥迪代表科技；雷克萨斯代表匠心……凯迪拉克代表什么？更多会让人联想到便宜。这就是这个具有百年历史的品牌、曾经的豪华标准缔造者遇到的问题。但是在中国想要在销量上接近BBA，降价几乎是凯迪拉克唯一可选的路。只是在降价的同时，我总感觉以凯迪拉克为代表的美系车在文化植入方面做得实在不够，毕竟同样在降价的沃尔沃和捷豹，一个一直主打安全，一个也能和英伦风情扯上边。同属通用旗下的别克和雪弗兰也一样，以至于很多人一看见美系车，就会下意识想到“粗糙”、“油老虎”、“优惠大”，没了。这点它们都应该学一学刚才提到的大众，一个普通平价品牌硬是给大家留下了“高级”的印象。美系车的调性应该是什么样的？开上它，感觉就像单手扶着方向盘，另一只手搂着美国大妹，沐浴着加州的灿烂阳光，驶在通往天使之城的66号公路上……音频图文更新在订阅号：

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注！同样的CT6，4年暴跌15万2016年7月底，南京突然传出了要限牌的小道消息，也不知道是谁先开的头，但是当时知道这事的人还挺多。我就记得那一天还在睡梦中，我爸突然打电话给我，说南京要限牌了，前一秒我还是迷迷糊糊的，下一秒一下就惊醒了。传垚不传谣，但是传垚信谣。一听这个消息我就急了，当时家里还没有车，那还犹豫什么？但问题又来了，那时我在澳洲上学，家里只有我一人有驾照。7月底，距离澳洲大学开学还有一个礼拜，车买回来，一停就是好几个月直到我下次放假回国。于是，我爸想着先买一台二手破车，解决牌照问题。但是，买车是我盼了几年的大好事，当然希望一步到位。我爸犟不过我，只好答应，哎当时真不懂事。当天晚上，我就选好了车，选什么不好，偏偏选了当时刚刚上市不久的凯迪拉克CT6。现在想想也是，2016年E级、5系、A6L没有换代，捷豹XF、沃尔沃S90还是进口，好像也没什么可选的。第二天，赶到4S店，看车砍价，一气呵成；第三天，赶到4S店，贷款审核等太久，那就全款提车走；第四天，上完牌照，贴完窗膜，兜了会风，拉上车衣，告别走人……几个月后我放假回国，将车开回4S店首保，售后经理看到我的表显里程都不敢相信，240公里？！现在和爸妈谈起这件事，我们都很无奈，当时爸妈每周都要特地去地库发动一下车，生怕电瓶没电。发动的时候，他俩没事就干坐在车里，我妈会晕车，她现在还记得当时车里的那股新车味道。这就是我们家第一台车的故事，一件平常可能要纠结几个月的大事，在限牌谣言的促使下几天内就草草完事。至于当时提车的落地价格，这是我不愿提及的痛：2016款28T豪华型，官方指导价48.99万，优惠8万裸车40.99万，落地47万不到。而前不久，我们的兔子也买了一台CT6，身为野马车主，他选择CT6的原因是“可以舒舒服服带娃”。选一款方向盘会自动往洗浴中心跑偏的车带娃，我也是信了。他的落地价格就非常劲爆了：2021款28T精英型，官方指导价39.97万，优惠11.5万，落地32万以内。我问他为什么不买更主流的豪华型，配置上一个档次也差不了多少钱。兔子的回答很耿直：“因为不喜欢液晶仪表。”32万以内，还不是最低配，这是什么神仙价格？我仍然记得当年CT6刚上市时的定位：标准轴距的大型轿车，3.0L双涡轮增压的40T车型错位竞争S级、7系、A8L，2.0T的28T车型直接竞争E级、5系、A6L。但理想有多美好，现实就有多残酷。在美国老家，凯迪拉克CT6已于今年正式停产，现在我们见到的中期改款CT6，大概率是CT6简短一生中的最后一个版本。在国内CT6在2019年改款之后不仅取消了原先59.99-81.88万的40T车型，同时还全面下调28T车型的官方指导价，由43.99-61.99万降到37.97-48.97万，相当于来了一次官方降级。现在再对比一下当初被拿来与CT6比较最多的、同时也是运动调性最相似的5系，低配的525Li现在的落地价格在46万左右，而明显低CT6一个级别的3系，想要落地主流的325Li也需掏出36万左右。所以现在有那么一句话，CT4的对手是3系，CT5的对手是3系，现在CT6的对手也变成了3系。为什么会这样？通用错过的10年时间回到1978年，中国汽车工业公司希望在北京建立一个大型的汽车联合企业，以轻型车为主，包括轿车、客货两用车等车型。中汽首先想到的合资对象就是通用，而且后来还考虑到单靠中汽的力量不够，还联合了航天工业部、兵器工业部参加。然而由于中美双方在大型铸造厂的选址问题上意见不同，这个宏大的项目就此告吹。后来，政府决定在上海建立轿车生产基地，提出要引进一批机电产品装配线，借此发展对外加工装配业务，当中就包括了一条轿车装配线。当时首选的合资对象是丰田，但是丰田正投入大量精力在北美打造雷克萨斯品牌，根本无暇考虑合资事宜。加上丰田高层认为那时候的国内消费力低下，应该先合力发展商用车市场，不愿投巨资到轿车项目，所以作罢。德国大众的高层听闻后，马上与中国政府开展接触工作，来来回回折腾了很多次，直到1984年正式和上汽集团的前身，也就是上海汽车拖拉机联营公司签订了合资合同。到了1985年3月，“上海大众（上汽大众）”正式成立。上海大众成立，德国人舒舒服服吃了一波红利，并且国家在1988年提出了“三大三小两微”战略，只支持一汽大众、上海大众、东风神龙这“三大”，北京吉普、天津夏利和广州标致这“三小”，以及长安奥拓和贵州云雀这“两微”的基地建设。彼时的通用已经看到了大众在中国的战绩，毕竟“三大”里面有两个都是大众，美国佬满肚子都是羡慕嫉妒恨，所以极度想进入中国市场。于是在1991年终于通过和金杯合作的方式进入国内，成立了“金杯通用汽车公司”，通用就此一边和金杯一起搞雪佛兰S10系列轻型载货汽车，一边等待机会。时间来到1994年，国内发布了首个汽车产业政策，到1995年底前不再批准轿车和轻型车的新整车项目，这让通用这种本来想静静等待政策转机的厂家一脸懵X。好在功夫不负有心人，到了1994年11月事态发生了转机，在一次轿车技术交流会上，政府表示中国汽车工业将把主要方向从载货车转为轿车生产，还把公费购买市场转为家庭消费为主。通用一下子就抓住了这个机会，毕竟之前已经失去了太多，立马着手与上汽进行谈判。当时，同样和上汽进行接洽的其实不止通用一家，还有福特跟丰田。但是丰田太积极，在1994年11月之前就来了，尽管那时候的丰田社长丰田达郎表示要合资生产20万台皇冠，但受制于国务院颁布的《汽车工业产业政策》，这一项合作就没有达成，丰田很郁闷，不过我估计上汽也挺郁闷的，这个合作要是达成了，现在也没有广丰什么事了，估计得叫上丰。而福特没能达成合作，主要原因是自己作妖，那时候福特强烈坚持自己的控股比例大于50%，所以只能告吹。最后，通用公司粉墨登场，在吸取了之前的教训之后，通用直接大手一挥“我出15个亿，而且是美金”，要知道后来的长安福特，一开始的总投资额也不过9800万美元。同时，上汽的态度也很微妙，小算盘也是打得劈啪作响，一方面上汽希望可以通过和通用的合作来抗衡大众，迫使其引入新车型；另一方面还看中了通用的德尔福在零部件配套上的优势，于是在“浦东轿车项目”上双方很快达成共识。1997年3月，上汽和通用正式签署合资合同，通用答应将那时候最新的车型带到中国，共同发展中高级轿车项目。也就是说，从1978年到1997年，通用整整用了10年时间才正式和中国的消费者见面。通用最先希望引入雪佛兰进行国产，但是中方认为雪佛兰的档次太低，后来通用又向中方推荐了欧宝，但经过调研发现，当时国内市场主要是公务车市场，倾向于大排量和大尺寸车型，因此欧宝也没有下文了。最后的选择就在别克和凯迪拉克之间，由于通用当时不想国产凯迪拉克，最终决定只有别克了，于是通用就靠别克的新世纪和赛欧拉开了在中国市场的序幕。到了2004年，上汽通用已然成长为一颗参天大树，于是决定将凯迪拉克正式落户上汽通用，比北京奔驰还早了一年。但是，凯迪拉克在国内的路一直都不是很顺利。首先是在2005年，凯迪拉克CTS正式国产上市，推出了三个配置，分别是2.8L V6版本、3.6L V6版本和3.6L V6高性能版。官方指导价也很直白，就按排量来定价格，2.8L的43.8万，3.6L的51.8万。现在看这车绝对是诚意满满，在那个年代，3.6L的CTS就已经能做到百公里加速6.7秒，而且配备的还是5AT变速箱，高性能版还有制动力分配、牵引力控制和车身稳定系统。并且，还能看见前排座椅加热、电动座椅记忆、中控彩色液晶屏幕、可调高度的大灯、后视镜加热等等那个年代非常稀有的功能。如果把这车放到现在，很多人绝对会夸它“原汁原味”，但是对于当时那些愿意花五十来万去买车的人而言，这个车空间小、油耗高、价格贵，牌子也不是很硬，结果就是……凉凉。在CTS惨败之后，凯迪拉克重振旗鼓，又在2007年把STS拉进国内生产，而且通用还借鉴了奥迪的成功经验，把海外的STS进行了加长，变成了我们后来看到的SLS赛威。这个系列不仅推出了2.8L V6和3.6L V6版本，还推出了4.6L V8的旗舰型。如果你觉得大排量发动机就已经有些不讲武德了，那我再说几个让人惊讶的配置和技术：发动机全系配有可变气门正时和电子节气门控制技术，前轮配备左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架，至于ABS、制动力分配、刹车辅助、牵引力控制、车身稳定控制、无钥匙进入、无钥匙启动、多功能方向盘、电动座椅记忆、蓝牙车载电话等等也是全系标配，并且旗舰型还有后排座椅电动调节、后排座椅加热、车载电视。凯迪拉克把所有的高精尖技术一股脑全用在了SLS上面，带来的结果却让人大跌眼镜，这台车在当年被无数人吐槽：价格太贵了、油耗太高了，因为即使你把配置堆得这么香，技术弄得这么高端，但是很多都是在消费者看不到的地方（现在的凯迪拉克也是这样）。就比如那个左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架，大多数人根本搞不清楚这玩意儿有什么用，那时候看重的是车子够大、坐起来够舒服、开出去有面子。凯迪拉克发现，自己大排量的车型水土不服，只能痛定思痛开始转变思路，于是在2010年底引入了2.0T发动机，所以后来2011款的SLS就有了2.0T版本，准入门槛也从过去的44.8万下降至38.88万，这还不算大幅度的市场优惠。所以如果说凯迪拉克疯狂打折是从什么时候开始的，我觉得就是从2011年这台2.0T的SLS开始的。到了2013年，鉴于之前的销量，凯迪拉克做出了调整，决定搞“错位竞争”，用XTS这款中大型车去和BBA的中型车进行PK，凭借价格和尺寸的优势，虽然XTS的打法非常另类，但是就此站稳了。后来，凯迪拉克又在轿车系列中把ATS进行国产变成了ATS-L，通过大幅度的降价和确实很香的配置，从BBA手里抢走不少客户，凯迪拉克尝到了甜头。似乎一切都在往好的方向发展，虽然在品牌和销量之间进行了一些取舍，但好在有销量支撑，能赚钱比什么都强。可是，凯迪拉克在市场营销上后续的骚操作，则一下把自己推上了风口浪尖。2016年初，国产的CT6正式上市，凯迪拉克很重视，消费者也很期待。凯迪拉克先是搞了个“以D打C”和“二打一”的策略，用CT6+XTS两台车去攻占中大型车市场，其实主要目标也就是E级、5系、A6L。CT6作为高端旗舰提升调性，XTS则是用低价正面硬刚。凯迪拉克发现，自己的策略还可以，好歹还有那么一丢丢的销量，于是骚操作开始了。他们搞了一个“5+1=6”的活动，在2016年6月22日到7月31日期间，只要你手里有一台个人一手的宝马5系，不管国产还是进口，制造年份在2012至2014年之间（520车型要2013至2014年），车辆里程小于8万公里，车况保证无大事故、无火烧、无泡水，你就可以用这台车加一块钱人民币去换一台官方指导价43.99万的CT6

car，但价格总是妨碍我们去实现梦想。降价当然是好事，曾经高高在上的凯迪拉克，现在不说唾手可得吧，至少入手难度已经连降好几级。从销量上看，现在的凯迪拉克也远比当年的凯迪拉克成功，但过于简单粗暴的降价反倒会让一批豪华品牌消费者感到廉价。这些人往往感性大于理性，贵就是好好就是贵，车再好也不如一枚自带光环的车标来得重要，以至于凯迪拉克在他们眼里已经变成了差一口气上BBA的无奈之选。现在，奔驰代表豪华；宝马代表运动；奥迪代表科技；雷克萨斯代表匠心……凯迪拉克代表什么？更多会让人联想到便宜。这就是这个具有百年历史的品牌、曾经的豪华标准缔造者遇到的问题。但是在中国想要在销量上接近BBA，降价几乎是凯迪拉克唯一可选的路。只是在降价的同时，我总感觉以凯迪拉克为代表的美系车在文化植入方面做得实在不够，毕竟同样在降价的沃尔沃和捷豹，一个一直主打安全，一个也能和英伦风情扯上边。同属通用旗下的别克和雪弗兰也一样，以至于很多人一看见美系车，就会下意识想到“粗糙”、“油老虎”、“优惠大”，没了。这点它们都应该学一学刚才提到的大众，一个普通平价品牌硬是给大家留下了“高级”的印象。美系车的调性应该是什么样的？开上它，感觉就像单手扶着方向盘，另一只手搂着美国大妹，沐浴着加州的灿烂阳光，驶在通往天使之城的66号公路上……音频图文更新在订阅号：

In our Truetone Lounge interview, we sit down with owner/founder Greg Walton, to discuss the beginnings of XTS and some of their guiding philosophies. We then add chief engineer Barry O’Neal to get a bit more technical and have him walk us through the process of a rig build.

Tyler Chiarelli is one of the finest young guitarists in Nashville today, who has quickly assimilated the chops, gear, and attitude that are necessary to make it here in Music City. In Our Truetone Lounge interview, Tyler takes us from his beginnings as a drummer, how he shifted to guitar, the tale of Tom Bukovac convincing him to move to Nashville, the lessons learned from getting fired from gigs, and all the many takeaways from touring with a major act, and appearing on television. We also cover Chiarelli's gear that includes a 1959 ES-335 and 1959 Fender Deluxe, Senn Pomona, Les Paul, Ebo Verb, and an XTS built pedalboard.

Charlie Worsham and Bryan Sutton have a tornado relief show at the Station Inn, Glaser knocks it out of the park with a bridge installation, XTS makes a great pedalboard, and the world is shutting down for a while because of coronavirus.

There's a Whiskey jam appearance coming up, Jim makes it out of a tornado unscathed, John Osborne is now using his amp, Glaser is putting a bridge on his guitar, XTS is building his pedalboard, and at the end some speakers are swapped and played.

August 8, 2018 Just Riding Along Show Page ABOUT THIS EPISODE Just keeping up with the Bicycling Joneses, so they just throw a bunch at you in Version 2 of BoD's. SHOW DONATIONS - Dominik Golik of Germany gave $25 with note: “Great show, keep up the great work.” - Ben Jones gave $50 with note: "Been listening since your blog talk days and you guys are awesome! Y'all have gotten me through some long road trips and I wanted to pay up - no dig, no ride! Oh, and someone has to say it: virtually every complaint Matt had about the trail 429 was totally wrong. That bike looks pretty rad and 157 rear spacing makes way more sense than that stupid boost shit we got stuck with right after 142 came out. Still tho, it was a solid rant that I enjoyed greatly. Keep it up. I tip a cold beer, some warm maple syrup, and a hot nugget in all y'all's general direction. Cheers! BMFJ" - Austin Fenwick of North Carolina gave $10 - Aaron Willard of Keene, New Hampshire (Ben’s sidenote: Ben has direct relatives who live in Keene, NH) gave $10 with note: “Love the show keep it up, helps get me through work and now injury (yes, riding related - the bike's ok). Your show has had a large influence on my riding and purchase decisions. I am the proud owner of a new $anta Cruz Chameleon 2018 27.5+ R build kit (choose it over there Tallboy - not disappointed). I had my local shop build it and in the process traded out the SRAM Level brakes for my deore XTs off my old bike (less than 300 miles on them). Old bike was a Niner E.M.D. circa 2013 with Reba RLT that I thrashed over the course of my first 3 out of 4 years of riding. Never change guys, love the character, humor, and overall how genuine you guys are. Andrea is my fav, don't be mad Mmmm maple syrup......in Black coffee - try it” - Michael Hedlund of Duluth, Minnesota gave $25 - Goof Hall of Amarillo, Texas gave $55 with note: “Thanks for entertaining us on the #katandgoofdoepicshit road trips.

This week on the show, we'll be talking to Jos Schellevis about OPNsense, a new firewall project that was forked from pfSense. We'll learn some of the backstory and see what they've got planned for the future. We've also got all this week's news and answers to all your emails, on BSD Now - the place to B.. SD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Be your own VPN provider with OpenBSD (http://networkfilter.blogspot.com/2015/01/be-your-own-vpn-provider-with-openbsd.html) We've covered how to build a BSD-based gateway that tunnels all your traffic through a VPN in the past - but what if you don't trust any VPN company? It's easy for anyone to say "of course we don't run a modified version of OpenVPN that logs all your traffic... what are you talking about?" The VPN provider might also be slow to apply security patches, putting you and the rest of the users at risk With this guide, you'll be able to cut out the middleman and create your own VPN, using OpenBSD It covers topics such as protecting your server, securing DNS lookups, configuring the firewall properly, general security practices and of course actually setting up the VPN *** FreeBSD vs Gentoo comparison (http://www.iwillfolo.com/2015/01/comparison-gentoo-vs-freebsd-tweak-tweak-little-star/) People coming over from Linux will sometimes compare FreeBSD to Gentoo, mostly because of the ports-like portage system for installing software This article takes that notion and goes much more in-depth, with lots more comparisons between the two systems The author mentions that the installers are very different, ports and portage have many subtle differences and a few other things If you're a curious Gentoo user considering FreeBSD, this might be a good article to check out to learn a bit more *** Kernel W^X in OpenBSD (https://www.marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=142120787308107&w=2) W^X, "Write XOR Execute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX)," is a security feature of OpenBSD with a rather strange-looking name It's meant to be an exploit mitigation technique, disallowing pages in the address space of a process to be both writable and executable at the same time This helps prevent some types of buffer overflows: code injected into it won't execute, but will crash the program (quite obviously the lesser of the two evils) Through some recent work, OpenBSD's kernel now has no part of the address space without this feature - whereas it was only enabled in the userland previously (http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ru13-deraadt/) Doing this incorrectly in the kernel could lead to far worse consequences, and is a lot harder to debug, so this is a pretty huge accomplishment that's been in the works for a while More technical details can be found in some recent CVS commits (https://www.marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=141917924602780&w=2) *** Building an IPFW-based router (http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/01/using-trueos-as-a-ipfw-based-home-router/) We've covered building routers with PF (http://www.bsdnow.tv/tutorials/openbsd-router) many times before, but what about IPFW (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html)? A certain host of a certain podcast decided it was finally time to replace his disappointing (https://github.com/jduck/asus-cmd) consumer router with something BSD-based In this blog post, Kris details his experience building and configuring a new router for his home, using IPFW as the firewall He covers in-kernel NAT and NATD, installing a DHCP server from packages and even touches on NAT reflection a bit If you're an IPFW fan and are thinking about putting together a new router, give this post a read *** Interview - Jos Schellevis - project@opnsense.org (mailto:project@opnsense.org) / @opnsense (https://twitter.com/opnsense) The birth of OPNsense (http://opnsense.org) News Roundup On profiling HTTP (http://adrianchadd.blogspot.com/2015/01/on-profiling-http-or-god-damnit-people.html) Adrian Chadd, who we've had on the show before (http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_09_17-the_promised_wlan), has been doing some more ultra-high performance testing Faced with the problem of how to generate a massive amount of HTTP traffic, he looked into the current state of benchmarking tools According to him, it's "not very pretty" He decided to work on a new tool to benchmark huge amounts of web traffic, and the rest of this post describes the whole process You can check out his new code on Github (https://github.com/erikarn/libevhtp-http/) right now *** Using divert(4) to reduce attacks (http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?s=db0dd79ca26eb645eadd2d8abd267cae&t=8846) We talked about using divert(4) (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man4/divert.4) with PF last week, and this post is a good follow-up to that introduction (though unrelated to that series) It talks about how you can use divert, combined with some blacklists, to reduce attacks on whatever public services you're running PF has good built-in rate limiting for abusive IPs that hit rapidly, but when they attack slowly over a longer period of time, that won't work The Composite Blocking List is a public DNS blocklist, operated alongside Spamhaus, that contains many IPs known to be malicious Consider setting this up to reduce the attack spam in your logs if you run public services *** ChaCha20 patchset for GELI (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2015-January/046814.html) A user has posted a patch to the freebsd-hackers list that adds ChaCha support to GELI, the disk encryption (http://www.bsdnow.tv/tutorials/fde) system There are also some benchmarks that look pretty good in terms of performance Currently, GELI defaults to AES in XTS mode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_theory#XEX-based_tweaked-codebook_mode_with_ciphertext_stealing_.28XTS.29) with a few tweakable options (but also supports Blowfish, Camellia and Triple DES) There's some discussion (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2015-January/046824.html) going on about whether a stream cipher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_cipher) is suitable or not (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2015-January/046834.html) for disk encryption though, so this might not be a match made in heaven just yet *** PCBSD update system enhancements (http://blog.pcbsd.org/2015/01/new-update-gui-for-pc-bsd-automatic-updates/) The PCBSD update utility has gotten an update itself, now supporting automatic upgrades You can choose what parts of your system you want to let it automatically handle (packages, security updates) The update system uses ZFS and Boot Environments for safe updating and bypasses some dubious pkgng functionality There's also a new graphical frontend available for it *** Feedback/Questions Mat writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2XJhAsffU) Chris writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s20qnSHujZ) Andy writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s21O0MShqi) Beau writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2LutVQOXN) Kutay writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s21Esexdrc) *** Mailing List Gold Wait, a real one?

After a wildly successful debut episode, BSD Now is BACK to talk with Glen Barber from the FreeBSD Release team, show you how to build your own binary package repository and discuss the latest BSD news! Headlines 64bit time in OpenBSD (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20130813072244) Many operating systems face an upcoming challenge, similar to (but more complicated than) Y2K: Y2038. All of the BSDs and most other operating systems track time by counting the seconds since Jan 1st, 1970. In 2038 this value will reach the maximum value of a signed 32 bit integer. Simply changing to a 64 bit counter may not be the best solution, because there may still be 32 bit systems in use for embedded applications Theo will be giving the keynote at EuroBSDCon on the subject, explaining how OpenBSD has implemented the solution ABI incompatibility. Updating to this kernel requires extra work or you won't be able to login: install a snapshot instead. Upgrading by source is for the insane only. (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20130813) AESNI pipelining gets a speed boost (http://freshbsd.org/commit/freebsd/r255187) AES-NI is a new processor instruction available on modern Intel and AMD chips that provides hardware acceleration for AES encryption and decryption. This feature is especially useful for encrypted disks, because it removes most of the performance penalty traditionally associated with encryption The new commit has the instructions pipelined, so there is no latency between the instructions Uses SSE2 instructions for calculating XTS tweak factor for further increased performance GELI based disk encryption performance increased by 3x on capable CPUs Should affect PEFS and other AES backed encryption schemes as well Full disk encryption should be more or less transparent now *** OpenBSD 5.4 Preorders (http://openbsd.org/orders.html) Every 6 months there is a new OpenBSD version They include a fun song and nicely-packaged CD set The proceeds from sale of these products is the primary funding of the OpenBSD project The official ISOs will be uploaded on November 1st *** GCC no longer built by default on FreeBSD -CURRENT (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=255321) On platforms where clang is the default compiler, don't build gcc or libstdc++ GCC is still enabled on PC98, because the PC98 bootloader requires GCC to build While the base FreeBSD system has been built by clang for a long time, this change also covers the ports tree *** Patch to update Xorg and MESA on FreeBSD (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2013-September/013599.html) Updates xorg drivers Expected to be committed in about 2 weeks Adds option to use devd instead of HAL for X configuration Updates the MESA stack (9.1.6), libGL, DRI, etc Enables KMS for AMD/ATI cards Mesa 9.2 is available with xorg-dev, OpenBSD has also recently upgraded to Mesa 9.2 for their stable version of Xorg *** Interview - Glen Barber - gjb@freebsd.org (mailto:gjb@freebsd.org) / @evilgjb (https://twitter.com/evilgjb) FreeBSD Release Engineering Tutorial Making your own binary repository (http://www.bsdnow.tv/tutorials/poudriere) The Place to B...SD iXsystems hosts FreeBSD Anniversary party (http://www.ixsystems.com/resources/ix/news/ixsystems-to-once-again-host-freebsd-anniversary-celebration.html) Celebrating FreeBSD's 20th anniversary Saturday, November 2nd at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco Notable FreeBSD figures will contribute words of wisdom on the past, present, and future of FreeBSD *** News Roundup NetBSD gets basic support for the cubieboard 1 & 2 (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/09/04/msg047155.html) Very preliminary support for cubieboard 1 & 2 based on the Allwinner A10 & A20 SoCs Many drivers are "stubs with autoconf glue" Contributed by Matt Thomas *** Rayservers ditches Linux for BSD (http://rayservers.com/blog/the-freebsd-daemon-is-off-to-do-battle-in-the-name-of-christ) Used them all, Windows, Mac, OpenBSD, Linux Needed PF, ZFS, disk encryption, lots of networking features, better security In Linux, "The new cgroups based memory management ran out of memory - on a 256 GB RAM system whilst it was not using more than 40." BSD now protects the privacy of their email users *** HPN for OpenSSH 6.2 (https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2013-August/031614.html) High Performance Networking (http://www.psc.edu/index.php/hpn-ssh) is an SSH patchset to improve transfer speeds by removing the fixed window size and take better advantage of TCP Maintained as a patchset separate from OpenSSH First integrated into FreeBSD base as of 9.0 Updated to support 6.2 (available in the ports tree as security/openssh-portable) The HPN patch set also includes threaded AES-CTR support to increase performance and take advantage of multiple CPU cores for encryption. In this latest patch, threaded AES-CTR now works in all situations (it failed in some specific situations previously). Expected performance increase is ~50% NONE cipher is now separate from the main patch set. The NONE cipher allows tools like scp and sftp to switch off the encryption for file transfers (when specifically told to do so) to keep encryption from bottlenecking performance and wasting CPU time *** Call for testing: OpenSSH-6.3 (https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2013-July/031550.html) Mostly a bugfix release SFTP now supports resuming partially-downloaded or uploaded transfers More logging features Six weeks after the initial email, still no release. des@ is not pleased. *** pkgsrc gets signing support (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2013/08/30/msg018511.html) pkgsrc is used on NetBSD, DragonflyBSD and other OSes Comes from an EdgeBSD developer Uses GPG for signing package files Currently just a patch on github and in its infancy Provides a short howto *** FreeBSD vs. Linux: 10 points of superiority (https://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=41750) New FreeBSD user, ex-Linux user writes about his experience Mentions consistency, documentation, security, filesystems, updates, jails, community Really long post, definitely worth a read *** Feedback/Questions hoopla writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s21SpCcisW) Juergen writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s20vHY9qAK) Sam writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s23uf4vzfQ) Frank writes in (http://slexy.org/view/s2Y0qiXJan) ***

It used to be a Cadillac world. Recognized as the top luxury car, its name became synonymous with the best of anything. But then came the 1980s with production issues, an aging demographic and worse, competition from around the world. Suddenly, as Eric Burdon and The Animals sang, their best just wasn’t good enough. For 5, 10, 20 years, the brand wavered until the latest models have shown a bit of life. The man in charge of restoring the luxury nameplate to the top is Don Butler, VP of Global Marketing for Cadillac. He is John McElroy’s special guest on Autoline This Week. Joining the panel are Tim Higgins from Bloomberg and Aaron Bragman from IHS Automotive.

Mejor probar las cosas ANTES de que las necesites de verdad. http://podcast.jcea.es/podcastz/4 Notas: 00:30: Aunque tengamos un backup, si el ordenador no arranca no tendremos acceso a él. 00:50: Hacer un buen backup no es algo fácil, pero será tema de un futuro podcast. 01:30: En este podcast trataremos sobre qué ocurre si, un día, el ordenador no arranca. Hay que estar preparados para esa eventualidad. 04:00: Necesitas que el sistema y el procedimiento de recuperación esté bien probado y sea autocontenido, ya que no puedes contar con el ordenador si no puedes ni arrancarlo. En caso de necesidad, tener un smartphone que nos permita utilizar Internet puede ser de gran utilidad. 04:30: Hablando de entornos Unix o similares (Linux, *bsd), todos ellos tienen sistemas de recuperación de emergencia. 07:20: Pero hay que asegurarse de que el sistema de recuperación funciona correctamente y sabemos utilizarlo, especialmente si nuestro sistema está muy personalizado. 09:30: Hay que probar las cosas con calma y antes de tener problemas, para saber que podemos contar con ello cuando estemos agobiados y en plena crisis. 13:00: No hay que dar nada por supuesto. Las cosas hay que probarlas antes de que las necesitemos. 13:20: Así que, por supuesto, lo pruebas... y no funciona... Utilizo "XTS" y el disco de recuperación de Ubuntu no lo soporta, a pesar de estar soportado por el propio sistema operativo y de ser la configuración recomendada a fecha de hoy. 15:50: Gracias a estar haciendo estas pruebas de recuperación mientras la máquina está funcionando bien, sin problemas, puedo acceder al módulo kernel para soportar XTS que está en el propio disco duro, para poder continuar con mis pruebas... Pero no funciona. 16:40: Y no funciona porque el kernel y los módulos están versionados, de forma que no puedes mezclar versiones diferentes de kernel y módulos, para evitar incompatibilidades. Pero, en este caso, tengo un problema. 19:10: Pero resulta que en mis backups tenía el módulo XTS apropiado para el kernel incluído en el disco de recuperación, así que aprovechando que el ordenador funciona sin problemas (estoy probando el procedimiento de recuperación antes de que necesite utilizarlo), lo recupero y lo dejo accesible. Pero... ¡Tampoco funciona!. 21:35: Hacer un "insmod ./xts.ko" no funciona, porque "hay símbolos que no es capaz de resolver". El problema es que ese módulo tiene dependencias de otros. Esos módulos extra están en el disco duro, en el mismo directorio, pero no los carga automáticamente. 23:15: Cargamos la dependencia primero y luego cargamos el módulo que nos interesa. Es decir insmod ./gf128mul.ko insmod ./xts.ko pero... tampoco funciona... 24:05: No funciona porque, a su vez "gf128mul.ko" depende de otro módulo, el módulo AES. AES es el estándar de criptografía simétrica actual, declarado así en 2001. 24:20: El procedimiento, pues, será insmod ./aes_generic.ko insmod ./gf128mul.ko insmod ./xts.ko 24:50: Esos módulos están en mi disco duro, no en el LiveCD. Si hay un problema serio con el disco duro, puedo no tener acceso a ellos. Lo correcto es a) montar la ISO de recuperación, b) Añadir esos tres módulos kernel, que ocupan muy poco y c) grabar un nuevo LiveCD, personalizado, con incluyendo esos módulos. 28:20: Esto es una errata de Ubuntu, que supongo que solucionarán en el futuro.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel just unveiled plans to double financial aid to German automakers, with the goal of getting 1 million EVs on the country's roads by the end of the decade. Cadillac is gearing up for the debut of its new XTS by selling off the DTS and STS models it will replace. Audi is capacity constrained right now but at least it has a sense of humor about the situation. All that and more, plus a look at the updated 2012 Honda Civic.

Saab is saved . . . again. The Swedish automaker just received a €30 million loan plus an even bigger investment from Chinese car company Hawtai Motor Group. Audi is adding shifts and boosting production to keep up with brisk demand for its vehicles. Cadillac is expected to introduce turbocharged four-cylinder engines on its upcoming ATS and XTS models. All that and more, plus a look at Delphi’s plug-less EV charging system.

What a difference seven years make. It was at the Detroit auto show in 2003 that Cadillac last unveiled a full-size luxury sedan concept, the outrageous Sixteen, a fantastical 1,000-horsepower vision intended to evoke the grandest of grand days for the company some 70 years prior.
