Were always adding new last-mile options, particularly on the business side. IPv4 and IPv6, both with two transit providers (not to bash on cogent, but when they have a peering dispute, you dont have any way to route around that, those issues dont affect us). And unlike our Verizon friends, we will not choke your Netflix, Google or Amazon (CLOUD!) traffic. We dont have a giant captive audience of eyeballs like TWC or VZ, so peering is a benefit to us, not a lost revenue stream. /sales Im not totally comfortable pimping here, but if anyone wants to chat about megaproviders vs. local providers without actually speaking of Bway.net directly, thats always an interesting conversation.

Yeah, good stuff JK. What I find annoying (and we all have to get over this at some point) is lines like this: "While he likes the convenience of accessing data from anywhere..." Pre-cloud, you could only access your mail by mutt or pine on localhost??? I thought the meeting worked out well.. the security/privacy issues with Cloudism are significant, but I also don't believe in building a straw man argument around it. It is easier to *mitigate* when you are on bare metal, but just because it's *your* box in a data center doesn't make it safe. The big question to watch is the affects of the Snowden revelations on regulatory stuff in the EU in particular. This is one resounding angle in which the policy of privacy really could be exposed. g From briancoca+nycbug at gmail.com Thu Jun 5 19:26:58 2014 From: briancoca+nycbug at gmail.com (Brian Coca) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 19:26:58 -0400 Subject: [talk] Cloud and Colocation: Good Timing In-Reply-To: <5390FA11.3060908@ceetonetechnology.com> References: <5390EAF5.2060300@verizon.net> <5390FA11.3060908@ceetonetechnology.com> Message-ID: I was thinking of just moving into the data center (some have nice cots and even showers) and then getting afforded the legal protections of a private residence. ;-) Then I thought I should move the data center into my house and offer clients that protection.

I missed the meeting last night - but this is a really important point to make. by building a strong well reasoned argument for when *not* to use a "cloud" environment i think more people will be willing to accept it's downsides. i hate to admit - but there are valid use-cases for using AWS and the like.

From bcallah at devio.us Fri Jun 20 23:19:54 2014 From: bcallah at devio.us (Brian Callahan) Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:19:54 -0400 Subject: [talk] August NYCBUG Meeting Message-ID: <53A4F9DA.50207@devio.us> Hi talk -- I'm not trying to pre-empt Steven's upcoming July NYCBUG talk, but I want to give people here ample notice for the August meeting, especially those considering participating. The August talk will be a hybrid talk-workshop on writing your first OpenBSD port. Let me be clear: you *do not* have to participate in the workshop to attend. You will learn plenty without participation and you are encouraged to attend even if you don't want to partake in the workshop. This talk has been a long time coming, and stems from the following archetypal sentence I have heard way too often: "I really want to get started contributing to OpenBSD and writing ports but I don't know how to get started." I know there are multiple people on this list who have said this to me, virtually verbatim. This is your chance to get started. To make this as easy on potential participants as possible, the bar for entry is nothing more than your laptop and a desire to do it. If you find a piece of software you want to port, great. If not, I have been collecting software that makes for a good first port. It won't be the next Firefox or killer app but it will be something that isn't yet in the OpenBSD ports tree and will be something that you can be proud of. Ideally, by the end of the workshop your port will be in a state where it will be ready to be mailed to the ports@ mailing list for inclusion in the ports tree. The goal of the talk-workshop is to get you familiar enough with the basics so that you'll be able to go forward and write ports on your own. It won't cover every little detail but you will come away knowing where to go to find the answers on how to do the more advanced things. Or at the very least, how to ask the right questions. And for those not participating, you'll come away with an appreciation into the work that goes into making your favorite third-party applications work so seamlessly on OpenBSD. For logistical reasons, I'm asking that people interested in participating email admin at lists.nycbug.org by July 23 and declare their intent. I'm not going to turn away people who register to participate a day or two late but on the other hand I don't want 100 people showing up the day-of hoping I have software for them to port, because I won't. July 23 gives everyone two weeks of prep time. Questions can also be directed to admin at lists.nycbug.org or directly to me. Finally, feel free to spread this to BSD locals who may not be subscribed to this list. I hope to see everyone in a couple of weeks for a great July talk on time. ~Brian From jpb at jimby.name Mon Jun 23 10:56:14 2014 From: jpb at jimby.name (Jim B.)

Hope it's a blast! Yes, so the point of this (and a number of our other meetings) is to create a bridge from end-user to developer of sorts. Ports is likely the best entry point for most people, besides docs. And it provides something of a motivation since you actual have a tangible product with a function. This is a great opportunity for those who are not developers and also for those who do maintain/create other software now that they would like to see ported. g From pete at nomadlogic.org Mon Jun 23 13:53:23 2014 From: pete at nomadlogic.org (Pete Wright) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:53:23 -0700 Subject: [talk] *BSD multi-core scalability and NUMA Message-ID: <53A86993.20906@nomadlogic.org> hey there folks - i've been working on building out some low-latency/high-througput systems running one of those penguin distributions lately and it has me thinking about the current state of multi-core and multi-socket processing on *BSD. I've found this post that is pretty recent regarding NUMA(0) support on FreeBSD: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Working-on-NUMA-support-td5874392.html This is actually pretty exciting work from my POV, especially with the default use of jemalloc on FreeBSD I may be able to make a good case to move some of my critical systems off of centos finally. I've actually seen a handful of closed-source systems we run use jemalloc on centos since it works quite nice with NUMA. I was wondering how people manage scaling out multi-socket systems currently on the *BSD's. I mean beyond just having multiple CPU's availble for the scheduler - for example ensuring your NIC driver is handling interrupts on a single CPU package for example, or having processes and/or threads run on the same CPU package for potential cache affinity.
