I'm packing it along for tomorrow. If possible, I'd like to get a little assistance with a couple of little projects I want to do with it, namely switching the desktop environment for something nicer like Xfce and getting Wifi completely working (I installed the necessary firmware packages but can't seem to get ifconfig to see any ESSIDs). Several tutorials I have read about configuring an alternate desktop environment are for older OpenBSD versions, so I don't know if they're still relevant now. I have tried one in a VM that mentions using SLiM, but whether it's my own goofing up when configuring SLiM as the window manager or not, I can't get X rendering using it. I'm little by little getting better at this, but I figured brain picking always helps out. :) See everyone tomorrow! --Robert -- Nobody's ever lost in life...they're merely taking the scenic route. ============================== Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Building modern internet applications is challenging; so why are so many technology companies relinquishing control over their technology? The public clouds, after all, are just computers owned by somebody else. This presentation contains real data crunched by data scientists, to help cut through marketing hype. Also covered, strategies and approaches to help you keep your stack "infrastructure agnostic", as well as strategies to make cloud metered costs less opaque. Note: This material was previously presented at LHMK, April 2016 - and will be presented assuming a technical audience. Speaker Bio Standing on the shoulders of giants, ike's background includes partnering to run a Virtual Server ISP before anyone called it a cloud, as well as having a long history building internet-facing infrastructure with UNIX systems. NYC startup veteran, and a long-time community contributor to the *BSD UNIX family, ike has grown computing infrastructure from a hand-full of virtual servers, to full datacenter scale internet-facing infrastructure for a number of growth stage startups. .ike has been a part of NYC*BUG since it was first launched in January 2004, was a long-time member of the Lower East Side Mac Unix User Group. He has spoken frequently on a number of UNIX and internet security topics at various venues, particularly on the topic of FreeBSD's jail(8), and his involvement in the OPNsense router firewall project.

This reminds me of something I have wondered: Why would someone use something like S3 for anything less than huge distributed data stores? That is, where does stuff like S3 work better than ordinary filesystems with standard transport protocols?

I know of some commercial ones. The challenge is it is not as simple as just the object store. For example: using s3 you can setup notifications such that when a new object is created a message is automatically sent to amazon SQS (simple queuing service) using s3 you can setup notifications such that when a new object is created a message is automatically sent to amazon kinesis (distributed high throughput queuing service) You can use amazon lamda to trigger code to execute on s3 events. So for example if I am running a thumbnail service i can build that as s3(raw)->lamba->imagamagik->s3(thumbnail) When using elastic bean stalk you logs can automatically be written to S3 You can serve content directly from an S3 bucket as a web server You can use elastic map reduce to query and s3 bucket using HADOOP! On the administrative side you have amazons death-of-1,000,000 paper cuts billing. However if you are using mogilefs lets say you likely need to build your own reporting monitoring. For example if you are attempting to bill-back sections of the business based on usage you need to create that flow and process. >From the standpoint of an software architect you have to look at the solution space. s3(raw)->lamba->imagamagik->s3(thumb nail) is a trivial thing. I have done it without amazon the flow looks like this Web/Appliation server->NAS->mesage on kafka queue <- Stream processor) storm listening on kafka queue running code to do thumb-> write output to other nas location. People these days are into loose coupling and micro-services. "amazon lambda" sounds better to most than "eds storm-thumbnail thing". Also companies are not doing there part. I am sure there are hundreds or thousands of people/organizations that have written a scalable thumbnail engine. But if you google this you get stack-overflow howtos http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11376315/creating-a-thumbnail-from-an-uploaded-image As much as I dislike some things about amazon they have couple build technologies that make sense, work at scale, WORK WITH EACH OTHER SEAMLESSLY, and are available via APIs for common development platforms. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So I have heard this argument that its great for openstack. But I was shocked to hear that people are trying to use it as a block store for the kvms. Why is this better then OCFS2 or GFS2 ? Or ever so why is this better then iSCSI or AoE ? a My 2C is that is new and shiny . > > just my two bits - i'm sure there are plenty of counterpoints out there > - but i've often put lots of hope that ceph will mature into a product > as it would have made my life *much* easier only to be disappointed. > > > -p > -- Mark Saad mark.saad at ymail.com > > -- > Pete Wright > pete at nomadlogic.org > nomadlogicLA > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk at lists.nycbug.org > http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > From edlinuxguru at gmail.com Thu Nov 3 13:50:22 2016 From: edlinuxguru at gmail.com (Edward Capriolo) Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 13:50:22 -0400 Subject: [talk] S3 Work-a-likes In-Reply-To: <93fb1693-6d52-3548-98b8-941aec45b375@nomadlogic.org> References: <1792713344.486820.1478183923605.ref@mail.yahoo.com> <1792713344.486820.1478183923605@mail.yahoo.com> <404554955.523304.1478188108881@mail.yahoo.com> <93fb1693-6d52-3548-98b8-941aec45b375@nomadlogic.org> Message-ID: On Thursday, November 3, 2016, Pete Wright wrote: > > > On 11/3/16 8:48 AM, Mark Saad wrote: > >> >> >> >> >> >> On Thursday, November 3, 2016 10:58 AM, Siobhan Lynch >>> wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> >>> >>> >>> On Nov 3, 2016, at 10:38 AM, Mark Saad wrote: >>>> >>>> All >>>> Last night there was a discussion about s3 work-a-likes.

I remember when that OpenBSD story came out and was controversial since there was little proof. It was intriguing though, and in theory it seemed like a plausible thing (communicating over ultrasound). I remember reading quite a bit of commentary that your average laptop speakers/microphone didn?t even work beyond the range of human hearing. That intrigued me, so I grabbed some software for my desktop that could generate various simultaneous tones at any given frequency and then grabbed a spectrum analyzer for my laptop. Across the room it was totally possible to send at least 8 simultaneous tones that were not audible, but were completely detectable at the laptop end - meaning I could differentiate between say, 18.5KHz, 19KHz, 19.5KHz, 22KHz, etc. Now it?s a leap to turn that into something that can transfer data at wifi speeds, but 300 baud modem speeds or similar, enough to say, work on a terminal, that seems really doable with not a whole lot of work? Anyhow, I find it all intriguing. :) Charles > http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/11/how-to-block-the-ultrasonic-signals-you-didnt-know-were-tracking-you/ > > So the tldr parts , ad tracking via ultrasound beacons .

I think you might be good - I have the 'normal' Ubiquiti wireless units in the top building by the parking lot, the white building in the middle, and the bottom grey shed in this Maps shot here: https://goo.gl/maps/YBurjs2Mm7y (Hope that works right) The signal is nice enough that there's pretty much continuous wifi across the entire area, inside and out - and there's some significant metal in those buildings. Ubiquiti's are so cheap that if transmitter count is a problem, it's an easy problem to fix. As Ariel wrote, watch out for other noise in the same area of the spectrum. (Wifi Analyzer on Android is a handy tool for this) We do have the advantage that there aren't a lot of other transmitters in the area.

On the lite models some features are not hardware assisted on all ports, and if you end up doing packets in software you'll get about 100Mbps rather than 1Gbps. Simple configurations should work just fine though, I think our misconfiguration had a virtual switch or bridge that we did not even need in the first place. Our ubiquiti wifi / edge router combo works great (when not misconfigured), but we have fewer people in a smaller office so it's not really comparable. > > We're getting another access point today and my initial thought is that > this will be sufficient.

One big suggestion: for that many people, more access points may be necessary? (If I read this right, you'll have 2x AP?s). Wireless in an NYC office is really challenging, and mileage varies greatly depending on neighbors, the composition of the glass for your windows and exterior walls, how close you are to the street (all those smartphones trying to connect to your AP?s), etc? With that, I?d really suggest figuring out how to solicit as much continued easy feedback from people as possible, to find dead spots, or bad times of day, etc. Also: be careful to set people?s expectations on 802.11ac speeds- the Ubiquiti gear is good for a few users at the new hot speeds, but in my experience they collapse at 15 users. If stability is your aim, be sure there?s both 802.11b (using 2.4ghz radio) and 802.11g (using 2.4 and 5ghz radio) all in the mix! ? One last thing, I hate recommending vendors- but if the Ubiquiti gear starts to collapse under load, I just had an awesome experience with the Engenius lineup, using their POE managed controller switches, to cover 9 access points (802.11ac was important). For the price, their latest 2016 gear was shockingly on par with the high end stuff. We actually tested AP's against Rukus and Meraki, and the Engenius gear held up with the big brands- albeit a few rough edges, more annoying firmware update process, and less sexy package.) In this office btw, new Ubiquiti gear was the incumbent- and straight up couldn?t handle the load. Good luck slinging those packets!

Yes. All your mics are on and Ed stopped top-posting! Certainly a sign of the coming apocalypse! In all seriousness, I tend to take the minimalist approach to mitigating these threats: treat your phone as a compromised platform that isn't secureable. I think there's an old ACM Queue article from PHK that essentially makes that argument from a few years ago. Your contacts, private PGP and SSH keys, etc., are public information when residing on your phone. PHK also happened to do a review of Silent Circle's BlackPhone2 in three parts. This is the first: https://www.version2.dk/blog/blackphone2-review-1-508188 It's noteworthy since it's supposed to be a secure phone, but the weaknesses are standard problem on all phones. Ultimately, assurances and policies from the manufacturer, software providers and of course the cell network provider aren't a basis for 'privacy by design.' And most don't even provide favorable policies. In regards to this actual vulnerability, I wonder what the 'cost' (computationally on the provider-side, not just monetarily) is on such surveillance, er, I mean data-mining, really is. You have firms which rely on third-party cookies still, and the step up to audio captures is a significant leap in terms of required resources for storage, parsing, etc. I'm sure there are people on this list who may know the answers, but aren't in a position to speak about it publicly... g From edlinuxguru at gmail.com Mon Nov 7 13:41:58 2016 From: edlinuxguru at gmail.com (Edward Capriolo) Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2016 13:41:58 -0500 Subject: [talk] Is anyone interested on a talk about c actor-framework?

As a fellow curious person who tends to love storage problems, what are the features you found compelling?

As a JAVA Developer I found a lot of issues in what seems the so called "implementing ?object stores? for immutable data collections", but as was surprising to me didn't find it in other languages like Python. I got some documentton on Python on the Concurrent Access Violations. https://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html (Surprisingly seems to be only RuntimeError) https://docs.python.org/3.1/library/pickle.html (has a line on concurrency control) Below some documentation on Java. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/index.html From edlinuxguru at gmail.com Sun Nov 13 08:54:04 2016 From: edlinuxguru at gmail.com (Edward Capriolo) Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2016 08:54:04 -0500 Subject: [talk] S3 Work-a-likes In-Reply-To: References: <1792713344.486820.1478183923605.ref@mail.yahoo.com> <1792713344.486820.1478183923605@mail.yahoo.com> <404554955.523304.1478188108881@mail.yahoo.com> <93fb1693-6d52-3548-98b8-941aec45b375@nomadlogic.org> <74178114.580335.1478193740574@mail.yahoo.com> <20161109185732.EDBDBF29CF@mailuser.nyi.internal> <6F76E779-E91F-4DA6-910E-B08872992980@blackskyresearch.net> Message-ID: On Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 6:58 AM, Sujit K M wrote: > > Is the language only Java, I am quite unaware of Python.

(100,1000). In cases where you do not know the name and you have many files you end up paging and each page is an API call. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
