Periodically, I like to put files in the /tmp directory of my webserver to share out. What is annoying is that I must set the permissions whenever I scp the files. Following the advice from another question I've written a script which copies the file over, sets the permissions and then prints the URL:
scp "$1" SERVER:"/var/www/tmp/$1"
ssh SERVER chmod 644 "/var/www/tmp/$1"
echo "URL is: http://SERVER/tmp/$1"
When I replace SERVER with my actual host, everything works as expected...until I execute the script with an argument including spaces. Although I suspect the solution might be to use $@ I've not yet figured out how to get a spaced filename to work.

As of my writing, Chicago is in the midst of a blizzard, that, when all is said and done, is expected to leave behind up to 10 inches of snow. Which means that, as one the city's coldest emcees, ProbCause must feel right at home. On new street single SUBZERO, inspired by the current snowstorm, Wes P's icy choral samples and synth arpeggios collide with Prob's bone-chilling flows to form a record likely to result in a few frostbitten ears. Complete with guest bars from fellow Chi-town reppers Showyousuck, Psalm One and Auggie the 9th, this shiver-inducing promo cut is slated to appear on forthcoming mixtape The Recipe Volume 2. Featuring appearances by Action Bronson, Chance the Rapper, Mickey Factz and more, the project is due out digitally this April.

Hundreds of families lined up outside the Central Panhandle Fairgrounds Saturday morning for the grand opening of A Hand Up.
The organization gave away clothes, personal hygiene items, and 30,000 pounds of food, from meat to milk and eggs and vegetables.
"A lot of times there's a lot more month than people have resources," said Jeanette Best, co-founder of A Hand Up. "We're here to help fill that gap and to give the people of God a hand up."
For people like Linda Robinson, groups like this are an incredible help in a time of need.
"If you don't have any food and they give you food, that impacts a whole lot because you know you have something to give to your kids," Robinson said.
Officials say in the first hour over 200 families had lined up at the fairgrounds and that the boxes of food were enough to feed a family for a week.
"It's just great, high quality foods that you would go to Walmart, Publix or Sam's to purchase," said Best.
And for Robinson, there's only one way to describe how she feels, "Blessed...very blessed."

SIGVARIS' Newest Socks Are More than Just for Fashion
Doug Handy, who works as a commercial pilot in Atlanta is aware that the SIGVARIS Business Casual Socks he wears to make his legs feel better also act as a preventative measure against blood clots (economy-class syndrome), particularly during long flights overseas.
"I find that the Business Casual Socks make my legs feel better when I arrive at my destination," he says. "Even on days when I'm flying short runs, I can tell a difference in how my legs feel when wearing compression socks. I like to be proactive when it comes to my health and in preventing blood clots."
Every year, more than 2 million Americans experience a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). These blood clots often lead to a Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and every year more people die from DVT/PE than AIDS and breast cancer combined, according to the National Blood Clot Alliance. However, a simple change in socks could be the key to avoiding a similar fate.
"People everywhere are unaware that graduated compression socks can help prevent DVTs," says Judith Brannan, SIGVARIS Medical Affairs & Education Manager. "Businessmen and pilots are particularly at risk for developing circulation disorders because they spend so much of their time sitting at their desk and/or traveling for work."
That's why SIGVARIS is excited to announce that the Business Casual line for men recently added a new color addition. They are now available in navy, brown, black and charcoal. They also feature a subtle striped pattern and are constructed with a soft microfiber yarn for all day comfort.
The SIGVARIS Business Casual Socks are a necessary wardrobe addition for any professional businessman who wants to add years to his life by preventing blood clots and vein disease. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends graduated compression socks as a preventative measure against DVT.

Stories from the Southern Appalachians
The Southern Appalachians are less than a day's drive away for one-third of the nation. The wild forests of the Smokies are a home and a livelihood for many local residents who want to keep it that way for generations to come.
Bob's Story
Few families can claim to have deeper roots than those of the Plott family in the Southern Appalachians. Author, conservationist and wood carver Bob Plott still raises Plott hounds, which were first brought to the area by his great, great, great grandfather in 1750.
Scotty's Story
Scotty Bowman and his wife Laura live in an area surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains and Cherokee National Forest in northeastern Tennessee, where they are raising their three children.
Hear artists, activists and adventurers share what the ownership and legacy of these American wildlands means to them.

Evolved's tattoo and piercing artists are a dedicated crew of professionals trained in advanced sterilization procedures, so you won't have to worry about them eating a big, sloppy sandwich while puncturing your skin with a sharp object. Tattoo prices ($50 and up) will vary according to the design, size, and location on the body. Piercings start at $37 (ear lobes and basic cartilage) and increase for body piercings ($57) and surface piercings ($70). The needle-averse, meanwhile, can still adorn their skin with Evolved's massive line of jewelry both tribal and shiny, as well as an assortment of shirts that range from $15–$20 (T-shirts) to $50 (bowling shirts).
Baked in the Village's chefs and bakers work daily to prepare a slate of breakfast and lunch items and fresh baked goods. Their menu includes a variety of sandwiches that boast innards such as chicken salad, roast beef, and ham and cheese on breads such as croissants, pretzel rolls, and cracked wheat. Breakfast plates pair eggs, pancakes, and bacon with hot chocolate, cappuccinos, and cake breads such as lemon poppy and banana nut.
With 45 combined years of tattooing experience, the artists at Tattoo Lounge Elyria can help clients turn their most imaginative ideas into distinctive skin art. Using vegan inks free of plastics or harmful ingredients, artist Ryan Carmichael decorate skin with floral designs, realistic portraits, or meticulous renderings of important text messages. Piercing specialist Danny Qualls creates openings for body jewelry without the use of constricting forceps, allowing flesh to heal more quickly. Extensive training in safety measures such as CPR, first aid, and infection control keeps all procedures as safe as crossing Sesame Street during rush hour.

No sunglasses here
Is it me or does he only take pics with fans if he's wearing his security blanket (sunglasses)?
I need to see some pics without his sunglasses, dabnabbit!
› See More: Norman Reedus
He's probably high all the fucking time. He's pretty laid back like that.
This is my first post, I'm new here. Hi!
The reason he wears sunglasses 24/7 is because he has photo-sensitivity, due to a titanium eye socket he had to get after a serious car crash a few years back. He wears them whenever he can get away with it. :-)
Who ever his plastic surgeon was did an awesome job. Norman Reedus has the most wickedly beautiful blue eyes.
Ok, I'm sorry but this cracked me up. I was searching for images of the baby with it's eyes open to see if they really were blue (Because Lori and Shane's are both brown) and there were heaps of pics of Daryl holding the baby. Then, this gem shows up:
Gotta say, Norman looks pretty chuffed there
I love an actor who really gets into his fans and is really interactive with them. That's one reason I love Wil Wheaton too.
I have lots of pics with him while filming in Senoia where he has no glasses on.....not sure where to post though.
Ok...i started an album....new here and not sure how to maneuver, but i did start that one album.....lots more to post. They are filming in the little town where i live so we got lots of pictures over the last 6 months.

JBL wants to get in on the holiday speaker action with the new introduction of desktop speakers.
Just in time for Black Friday mania, JBL announced the release of the Jembe speakers. The company describes them as lightweight and able to deliver considerably more sound than their small footprint would suggest. They're just a shave over 5-inches high—smaller than a coffee can (does anyone still buy coffee in cans?).
The Jembe speakers are designed to work with a computer (desktop or laptop) or as part of a stereo system when connected to a tablet or smartphone. They can be connected to an iPad etc. or computer through a 3.5 mm jack.
The speaker use JBL's own Slipstream port technology which was designed to improve bass performance.
JBL says the speakers cost $69/pr but you can buy them online directly from JBL here for $59/pr

Aliens, Winter, and An Old Coaching Road

We were just talking about the difficulty of writing historical fiction in our writer's group this morning and how difficult it is to get all the little details right. Thanks for this review. It hammered down that point for me!
You're right, Shannon, writing historical ficition is a challenge, and requires extensive research. I appreciate the careful history T.L. Higley packs into her work, but as this new novel demonstrates, it is easy to miss a detail that may be important to the plot.

About two decades ago, I bought my first guitar from a pawn shop in Las Vegas and have been playing and loving music ever since. During and after college, I spent most of my time in the music scene of Las Vegas. I also spent much of that time (about 12 years) studying and gathering information about playing and music composition.
Benefits from taking these lessons...
I have decades of music theory education, self teaching and playing experience. The unique lesson course I have developed can easily benefit any student. From the very first lesson, I teach the universal language of music theory (the structure of all music) and show how to apply the theory. A student can then apply the same knowledge to any instrument, including singing. The student can also read music, write songs, improvise, understand how to make music, and know why music works the way it does. Once a student has mastered the basics of music structure, they can play and sing with other musicians and even teach other people, how to play.
What students can expect when taking lessons?
Upon arriving at my home, the student will be greeted by my smiling face. We will then continue to the roomy, open and comfortable studio space, featuring computers and musical instruments for both the student and the teacher. We will start by talking about the student's goals, ambitions and about how much or little the student already knows about playing the music theory. We will also talk about what will be expected and go over a basic outline of what will be taught. At the same time, I will be taking notes so we can monitor the student's desired progress in the future. We then immediately start the lessons at the very beginning of basic music theory, no matter what the student already knows or does not know. We will go through the lessons as fast as the student's previous knowledge allows or as slow as the student's limitations dictate. Before leaving, the student will be reminded what to practice and receive a small preview about upcoming lessons (I do this to keep them motivated and excited). Throughout every lesson, I continually remain aware of the student's facial expressions and struggles. I will stop to explain the lessons in more detail if needed and/or assure the student that we will continue to go over it again until they fully understand everything and are comfortable continuing.
What curriculum is being used?
I teach using the timeless system of music theory as applied to the guitar, piano and voice. This form of learning music, educates the student, in a way that reading music notation, tablature or memorizing a few songs can not. By learning music this way right from the beginning, a student understands what makes music sound great.
Are the lessons strict or laid back?
I show students how music is structured in an easy laid back way, which students of all ages can understand and enjoy practicing. All my students and I have lots of fun learning this way, by actually learning and not just memorizing. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing a students face light up with those many "ah ha" moments of understanding!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Electric guitars
Classical Guitars
Piano Keyboard
Music composing software
Singing software & apps

*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide no equipment, but do provide paperwork or web samples. I expect my students to have a guitar, piano or keyboard at home, to practice with.
*** Specialties ***
I use a trademarked method program I created for a software program which gives students routine theory exercises in a logical order to show how all the popular musical elements work and relate together. Then I teach them to apply what they learned to song writing. I specialize in rock and pop music.
Hi, I am a multi-international prize winner and a dedicated teacher. A piano performance graduate of Manhattan School of Music and University of Illinois, I have collaborated as soloist with major orchestras in China, USA, Europe and South America for fifteen years.
In the summer of 2006, I made my critically acclaimed European debut at the International Piano Festivals held in Spain and Canary Islands. In 2008, I was selected by famous New York critics David Dubal to perform in his lecture concert series, live broadcast on WQXR. From October of 2008 to July 2009, I won five international competition awards around globe, which led me to several concert tours in the following years. In August of 2009, I participated in the prestigious George Enescu International Music Festival in Bucharest. In May of 2010, I participated in the Gilmore Keyboard Festival Masterclass in Kalamazoo. That year also marked my recital and concerto debut in Panama and Colombia as well as in Krannert Center of Performing Arts in Illinois. In 2012, I made my solo recital debut at Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series in Chicago. Besides my frequent solo appearances,I have been an active collaborative chamber musician.I have performed a number of chamber music concerts with many instrumentalists around the world, highlighting a tour with a string quartet around the Netherlands in August, 2007, after having received two-week-long coaching with Menahem Pressler and Shumel Ashkenasi.
Along with my performing career, I have been teaching young piano students since I was eighteen. I have experience teaching all age-group in masterclasses and private lessons.
*** Lesson Details ***
I love teaching all age-group piano students! I find teaching is rewarding when a student is making progress, learning effectively and having fun with music. My teaching style and lesson focus will be unique for each individual person, and I'm very flexible in adapting to each student's needs and personality. My specialty is to discover and make each student find their own technique and sound on piano.
I am a friendly, easy-going and patient teacher, but I do have expectations. My ultimate goal is to help each student cultivate spiritual and physical well-being, along with the ability to recognize and develop personal and musical strengths, and to recognize and address respective weaknesses.
*** Studio Equipment ***
A 5'7 Steinway Piano in Studio.

In-home lessons available too.
Nick comes from a family of four generations of music in the GREEK/Balkan repertoire. He graduated from Columbia College of Chicago with a concentration in Music Composition in December of 2009. Currently teaching and performing professionally, Nick enjoys all styles of music, but has been declared as an "old soul" by many of his friends. He enjoys playing lots of Motown, funk, and jazz, but is proficient in Classical, Rock, and Blues as well. When not playing music (rarely), he is a Board member for the GivingBackPack Foundation which provides school supplies to underprivileged children. Nick's dedication to education is shown through his music and his personal volunteer hours, he feels his diverse background gives his students an advantage to a broader perspective of music and theory.
*** Lesson Details ***
I set an individual curriculum based on students needs, wants and aspirations. We will focus on proper technique, theory, musicianship and sightreading to become a better all around musician. After a few months of lessons, you will have the proper fundamentals to grow as a musician and discover the art of music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
heated garage w/ speakers amps, drum set f/w keyboard seating for parents
*** Specialties ***
I am well versed in many styles, I have played professionally and teach, ALL forms of Rock, Jazz, Blues, World (ethnic musics), Pop, Acoustic, Folk, and most other styles.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I would bring my guitar, metronome, pen, etc.
The students should have their own guitar and amp if electric.
They should also have the appropriate books - mel bay note reading and a blank music staff and tab book.
*** Specialties ***
My method focuses on learning scales, chords & arpeggios and then showing the student how to apply them through knowledge of music theory. They will learn how to create music on their own as well as understand the music they listen to. I will also show my students how to play various popular songs and how to improvise. My areas of expertise are in rock, pop, blues, rockabilly, metal, country and jazz. I also teach note reading, fingerstyle and classical guitar.
I am a professional singer, songwriter and actor working in the Chicago area for many years. I have a B.F.A. in Theater/Voice from The University of Kansas and an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts from Columbia College Chicago. I've been teaching private vocal instruction since 2003: I host the Singer's Salon in Chicago, a unique and supportive venue for singer's to become more comfortable performing before an audience. I also instruct workshops for vocal technique and performance. For the past 10 years I was the lead singer for The Red Apples, an acoustic roots band that performs an eclectic mix of rock, swing, blues, country and jazz. I also have a cabaret/art song project consisting or original material with composer Jaroslaw Golembiowski. As a singer and actress I have performed with many major theaters in the Chicago area, including Court Theater, Victory Gardens, National Jewish Theater, Bailiwick Theater, and Prop Theater.
*** Lesson Details ***
As a classically trained singer I will instruct you in all aspects of singing technique, from breath control and support to improving your tone, range, flexibility and resonance. My familiarity with a variety of musical styles from pop/rock, R&B, and country, to musical theater, lounge and jazz makes me an ideal teacher for those interested in contemporary styles.
I have spent many years developing my own style of singing and instruction. I draw on my experiences and training not only in music, but theater and movement, (Linklater, Alexander Technique, Grotowski) to create a well rounded approach to singing and performing. As an instructor, I am most interested in helping students find their true voice and artistic style. I teach students to find expression through and with a foundation of technique, rather then in spite of it. I also am very interested in helping students deal with the mental/emotional aspects of performance, an all important area so frequently ignored by music teachers. My style is nurturing, yet disciplined, and sprinkled liberally with good-natured humor."
*** Studio Equipment ***
My studio space is fully equipped with a piano, P.A. system with microphones, CD, MP3 player for tracks, and ability to record lessons if the student desires.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Please have a piano (in tune!) or keyboard for use in your in home lessons.
*** Specialties ***
I am classically trained, but I am very adept at teaching music in a wide variety of styles, including most contemporary styles of music including pop/rock, roots, swing, jazz and blues, country, r&b, and of course musical theater and cabaret. My band performs an eclectic mix of originals and covers in the roots rock genre, and I write music as well. I have many years of experience in the theater as an actress, and I coach acting technique and performance. I coach singer/songwriters, and all types of singers, of all ages. I have a workshop that specializes in helping people learn to perform better in front of an audience, and I host the Singer's Salon in Chicago, which is a supportive opportunity to perform regularly! I also coach bands, to improve their vocals, harmonies, etc.
Originally from Indiana, David has been teaching music in both the private and public school sectors for 12 years. Getting his start as a drumline instructor with only 4 students, David soon expanded his teaching to include both guitar and piano, which he studied under Frank Puzzulo (of Miles Davis' group) at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Upon graduating Ball State, David moved to Colorado to study jazz and classical music with Dr. Douglas Walter, an accomplished percussionist who is known for his versatility and multiple percussion talents. He also studied piano and guitar in his off time, jamming with several rock and jazz groups both in and out of school.
In 2006, David left the college scene with a Masters in Music and moved to Florida where he began his teaching career. In Florida, David taught roughly 70 students, ages 5 to 18, at Wewahitchka High School and Middle School. He was beloved by the town, helping out in the community as a local organist for the Presbyterian Church and as a frequent contributor to Wednesday night worship.
As wonderful as this time was, David gave up the gators and swamps to move back home to Indiana in 2007. Here, he took a job at Kokomo High School and Maple Crest Middle school where he resumed teaching students from 5th graders to seniors in all areas of music, including wind, strings/guitar and percussion. David established the first ever "rock and roll" class at the high school in 2008, a program that started with only 5 students and has ballooned to 38 in this current year! The class consisted of guitars, keyboards, bass and drums, all of which David can teach at a professional level.
Most recently, David graduated with his second Masters in Jazz Performance from DePaul University. He studied primarily with professor Ron Perillo, unquestionably the most innovative piano player in Chicago and with Bob Palmieri, a gifted guitarist. Having now graduated, David is devoting himself full time to teaching private students and looks very much forward to working with you!
*** Lesson Details ***
Although David has a laid back personality and approach to life, he takes his job very seriously. He prides himself in not being the kind of teacher who is there simply to entertain and hope the student learns something in the process. Though you will most certainly have a good time, you should only take from him if you really want to become a great musician/player. Having been a highly qualified public school teacher for 5 years, David has more experience than most private teachers you can find. He knows what it takes to achieve greatness and he knows that most students, in the end, respect that more than a half hour "jam session."
David will tailor his curriculum to each student. Every student is expected to have a notebook with staff paper and a pencil at their lesson. Students will also be assigned a book to purchase (in some cases more than one) and he/she will progress through it at a pace appropriate to his or her level.
More than anything, what you will see in David's lessons is his love for music and teaching music. It is truly a special thing to be gifted in this art, and he believes that anyone who is willing to put in the time, the effort and the dedication needed will be rewarded and enriched in the end.
David is also available for online lessons via Skype! He loves taking advantage of this modern technology in his lessons and is happy to take on new students in this format.
*** Studio Equipment ***
He has a fully weighted digital piano, electronic keyboard, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, clarinet, flute and various percussion equipment in a room completely devoted to music. Can accommodate seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can bring my own guitar/bass, but any drum lessons or piano lessons would require the student to have the necessary instrument at home.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in non-wind instruments, especially drums, percussion, bass guitar, piano and rock guitar. I consider myself extremely versatile with various styles and genres. Piano lessons are taught on a wonderful, fully weighted 88 key keyboard. I apply several teaching methods to reach as many kids as possible, with a focus on hands-on learning.
*Teachers marked as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25 lessons and have received the highest
feedback rating from students.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Stéphane Russell, on the users@ mailing list, pointed out an in-depth article about DragonFly's 3.2 release, on linuxfr.org. It's in French, which means I'm just going to have to trust his word about the contents.
Category: Goings-on
Can you read French? Then read this.
Project ideas again
Ishan Thilina asked for some project ideas, and Samuel Greear gave a list of links that may be useful for anyone looking for a project of their own. I offered strategy. It didn't work out, but this information's still useful.
Maintaining a wiki for fun
The Open Graphics Project, which is building a completely open video card, needs a wiki maintainer. It's a volunteer effort. If you were perhaps thinking you wanted to step up to a more complex project but didn't want to just be writing code, here is a perfect opportunity.
(Not too different from maintaining a project work blog, after all, and I know that's rewarding.)
Brief conversation about disk encryption
There's a short thread running on the DragonFly users@ list about disk encryption; there's some descriptions of encryption work there for the curious.
Linux and cpdup, plus a note
I could have sworn I noted it before, but as Venkatesh Srinivas points out, there's a port of cpdup to Linux. Also, if you're using cpdup to copy material out of a Hammer volume's history, use the -VV switch.
DragonFly 3.2.2 released
DragonFly 3.2.2 has been tagged. The tag commit has a list of the fixes; this is a bugfix release, but it's a good one. Download an ISO (they should be at the mirrors by now) or update your system.
3.2.2 coming up
There's been a large number of fixes and improvements to DragonFly 3.2 lately, so I'm planning to roll DragonFly 3.2.2 this weekend so there's an image with them all.
Using gcc 4.7 and pkgsrc
If you were thinking you wanted to try gcc 4.7 with pkgsrc, John Marino's described the option you need to set. It only works in pkgsrc-master right now (because of changes John made), and not every package in pkgsrc will build.
The advantage is that it's also possible, with the same syntax, to set pkgsrc to build with gcc 4.4. This means the default compiler in DragonFly can be changed to gcc 4.7 and pkgsrc packages that aren't compatible can still be built.
Update: Check this minor change: '?=' instead of '='.
How to grind that axe, for donations
Whomever submitted this story to Slashdot really doesn't like FreeBSD; they're describing FreeBSD's annual end-of-year fund drive as failed. The month-long drive is only about a week old and has already picked up donations at a faster rate than any previous year's donation drive, but apparently the poster – and Slashdot's editors – can't be bothered to do math. While we're on the topic, donate to the FreeBSD Foundation; they do good things.
(There's DragonFly too, though we're not as ambitious or officially 501(c)(3) non-profit.)
HAMMER2 update
Matthew Dillon has written up another update on his progress with HAMMER2. (I need to be consistent in how I write that.) He has disks being exported and mounted on other systems, and adds an explanation of some of the issues around creating reliable multi-master setups. Before you get too excited, no, multi-master isn't working yet, and this is not production ready.
Another set of benchmarks
There's more benchmarks for DragonFly vs. other systems on Phoronix. It has the same problem as previous benchmarks; some of the benchmarks may have no connection to reality (what does the "Himeno Poisson Pressure Solver" actually test?), and almost every system has a different version of the gcc compiler. So it's meaningless in terms of comparative or absolute performance. On the other hand, DragonFly doesn't do badly.
You can also look at the comments to see someone absolutely freak out over the very existence of things that aren't Linux. I'm not sure if it's actually trolling, since the comments are so exactly wrong.
Holiday Buying Guide
Shopping! This is the big holiday shopping weekend in the US, and I usually put together something here.
- Buy an SSD for someone who doesn't have one – including you if that's the case. There's better and worse SSDs out there, but you'll get a speed benefit no matter what, and other bonuses are possible.
- The Tea Bag Buddy, which also comes in a color-changing version. Because tea.
- My perennial Science! suggestions: ThinkGeek, American Science and Surplus, Ward's Scientific, Carolina, and United Nuclear, The Bone Room, and Skulls Unlimited.
- The Best of BSD 2011 and Last Year in BSD Security, from the BSD Magazine publisher.
- For more BSD, there's always the orgs themselves. FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD – no DragonFly, though there ought to be. Also, ISC.
- For lists of gifts, there's the Verge Gift Guide, which has some interesting offshoots.
- Another long list: The Comics Reporter's Shopping List.
If you have suggestions, please comment!
More benchmarking on Phoronix
Because of the recent good results for pgbench on DragonFly 3.2, Phoronix has a new benchmark of DragonFly using other (possibly unrelated) tests. There's not a lot of information to glean from them; they are testing operations different than what was optimized for pgbench in 3.2. I'd like to see DragonFly 3.0 tested the same way to see how much improvement there was between versions.
A BSD in Google Code-In
We (as in DragonFly) are not participating in Google Code-In this year, but I'm happy to see there's another BSD in there – NetBSD. (There's only 10 participating organizations, so it's not easy.) Look at their page if you're in the right age range to do projects.
New version of MaheshaDragonFlyBSD
MaheshaDragonFlyBSD, a 'liveUSB' distribution of DragonFly with software preinstalled, has been updated to run using DragonFly 3.2.1 as a base. The linked page contains screenshots and a description of what comes out-of-the-box. (mentioned previously here.)
Clang-Day today for FreeBSD
Today is the day that FreeBSD moves to using clang by default. This is not necessarily a surprise, but I like the finality of calling it "Clang-Day". I think Clang will probably be the next compiler brought into DragonFly's base system, instead of the next release of gcc. Don't make any bets on my statement, though, cause I certainly won't be the one doing it. (It's hard.)
Another full world/kernel build for the bleeding edge
There was one more file to change for the bmake import, so if you are running DragonFly 3.3 and updated between the 28th and 30th of October, do a full rebuild.
If we only had the spiffy name…
I mentioned this before in the Lazy Reading from last Sunday, but it's worth a second look: Apple's new Fusion Drive product appears to be very much like DragonFly's swapcache. DragonFly doesn't have exclusive right to the idea of caching on a faster disk, clearly, so I'm not complaining that it's "ours". It's frustrating to see product announcement/press releases stumbling all over this like it's a new thing.
Then again, having new ideas about technology ideas and making sure they spread is one of the points of the BSD license, so perhaps there's no good reason to complain at all.
(Before anyone reads too much into this: No, I don't know of any direct relationship between swapcache and Fusion Drive; they may have no common background other than structure.)
Remember: bin-install
A thread on pkgsrc-users@ reminds me: adding a specific line for bin-install will save time when rebuilding packages; pkgsrc will use existing binary packages instead of rebuilding from source when possible, when this is set. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what it does.
Writing a scheduler and where to start
Sandip Jadhav asked if anyone was working on an I/O scheduler. Chris Turner replied with a "no", but also with a list of places to look for details on writing one, which I'm linking here for posterity.
From make to bmake
John Marino is working on a very good idea: bringing bmake into DragonFly as a replacement for the current 'make'. bmake is going through more active development and apparently also in use/will be used? on FreeBSD, so syncing up with the same make flavor as FreeBSD and NetBSD will help everyone. It'll also remove the problem where you 'make' everything in DragonFly, except pkgsrc packages which you 'bmake'. It's not changed over yet.
(What does OpenBSD use for make?)
OpenMPI, OpenMP on DragonFly
A conversation about compilers in the DragonFly base system led peeter (must) to describe his group's use of OpenMPI on DragonFly for physics calculations. Apparently he's had a significant performance improvement on DragonFly.
Along similar lines, John Marino helped out by bringing in libssp and libgomp for gcc 4.7 for use with OpenMP. (This is in DragonFly 3.3, not 3.2).
gcc 4.7.2 and pkgsrc, a test
John Marino did a bulk build of pkgsrc using gcc 4.7.2, and posted the results. The result? About 1% of packages that built with gcc 4.4 did not build with 4.7.2. Whether that's a problem with gcc or a problem with how each of those software packages were created by the original authors, I don't know.
Structure change, full buildworld
Summer of Code Doc Camp
Google is hosting a 'Doc Camp', where people get together and write documentation for open source projects. There's a page that talks about it. Last year's inaugural event was apparently quite successful. I haven't been to it, but I think a day just for documentation is a good idea.
DragonFly 3.2 and pkgsrc-2012Q3
I'm planning for DragonFly 3.2 to come with pkgsrc-2012Q3, the most recent release. I'm building binary packages to match, and the build should complete by the time we release on the 22nd…
Notice I said "should" – sometimes the universe conspires against bulk builds.
3.2 is branched
I branched 3.2 tonight. That means 2 weeks until release, so sharpen your bug-poking sticks!
(I'm very tired and unable to think of good analogies, sorry.)
Anyone want some SHA-3?
Cause it could be added. The new algorithm could replace SHA-2, in use now in DragonFly. SHA-2 has not been 'broken' yet, so it's not an emergency… yet.
New lists page, just like the old page
I recreated the by-month thread and date listing from the old mailing lists, but for Mailman. It's at lists.dragonflybsd.org.
New perl, old python
Since the most recent branch of pkgsrc has been released, perl5 in pkgsrc has been updated to 5.16.1, and (ancient) python 2.5 has been removed.
Debian squished with DragonFly, sorta like Debian/kFreeBSD? Don't know if it will work, but what the heck.
3.2 branch and release plan
As I typed elsewhere, my general plan is to branch DragonFly 3.2 on the 8th, and release on the 22nd. That should give the recent scheduler and gcc work a chance to settle, and perhaps get a new version of USB support in too. It will probably be using pkgsrc-2012Q3, also, though we may not have binary i386 packages. 3.2 is shaping up to be a much more significant release than I expected.
www and bugs down, other services up for dragonflybsd.org
The machine that runs www.dragonflybsd.org and bugs.dragonflybsd.org is currently down. While it gets figured out, Alex Hornung has a static copy of the dragonflybsd.org main website available.
Some kernel hacking for you
Sepherosa Ziehau has some suggestions for anyone looking for some kernel hacking. They're mostly based around busdma(9).
dragonflybsd.org appears to be down right now so I'm linking to the MARC kernel@ post.
Broken packages list for pkgsrc-2012Q3
There's a post on the mailing list email@example.com of currently broken packages for the next quarterly release. It's not a lot of stuff, but if something you need is on there, don't worry too much. If you follow the thread through its replies, there's a lot of fixing going on.
Users@ shows up at MARC
MARC, which stands for Mailing list ARChives, has a lot of mailing lists. It now includes the DragonFly users@ list, along with the others. (It's not linked in *BSD on the main MARC page yet, but it should be soon.) It's worth digging through the massive, massive wall of text on that page to find a mailing list you didn't know existed.
Rebuild everything if you're running current
This latest commit for the new scheduler means that on your next update, you will want to build a new kernel, and probably a new world too. This only applies if you're running DragonFly 3.1, of course.
Mailing list archives updated back to 2003
I got the old mailing list archives converted to Mailman. As I wrote in a post to users@, please let me know about problems. There's some garbled messages from the old archive that were placed into the 2012-Sept. section for each message; I'll be cleaning those up manually.
Posting but not reading mailing lists
The old mailing list software for @dragonflybsd.org mailing lists, bestserv, apparently allowed people not subscribed to a list to post to it, after answering a confirmation message for each message posted.
The closest way to duplicate that for Mailman is to sign up for the list you want, and then turn off mail delivery for your email address in the config page for that mailing list. This won't affect a lot of people, since most people want list output in their mailbox, but there's at least a few I've fixed that way.
A bikeshed and a code change
A discussion of why root automatically lists dotfiles with ls and all other users do not led to a long thread that includes some UNIX history. There's some useful and some not-so-useful parts in the thread, but it did indirectly produce a way to reverse the listing effect itself.
SYSV shared memory vs. mmap
Francois Tigeot benchmarked the recent Postgres 9.3 release. Postgres apparently switched to using mmap instead of SYSV shared memory, and Francois has done this to show the performance differences. (view the PDF in his post.) Of course, work has continued since this was posted, so there should be new numbers soon, and new changes I'll document in a future post.
I haven't found a reference to the exact decision Postgres made on how to handle memory; please post a link in comments if you know a good source.
Pkgsrc freeze has started
See the note on pkgsrc-users@. The next quarterly release, pkgsrc-2012Q3, should be fully baked by the end of the month, if all goes well.
pkgsrc freeze for 2012Q3 starts tomorrow
As seen in this pkgsrc-users@ post from Thomas Klausner, the freeze for pkgsrc-2012Q3 starts on Sunday and continues for (probably) two weeks before the release.
NYCBUG, RSS, and SMPng
NYCBUG, the NY BSD user's group, has an RSS feed for their speaker events, found via Dru Lavigne's always useful BSD Events twitter. The next event at the start of October is a talk about SMPng in FreeBSD. Given that it was the project that in part led to the creation of DragonFly, I'd like to hear about it. (and even better, have someone more qualified than I compare and contrast that approach with what's in DragonFly.)
A potential new pkgsrc site
If you look at new.pkgsrc.org, you will see what may become a new site. This is apparently a test, so don't react as if this was the actual site.
A lot of scheduler talk
If you ever wanted to read an extensive discussion about the scheduler, today's your day. Mihai Carabas, who posted the details of a long discussion he had with Matthew Dillon about how the scheduler works. You may recall Mihai's name from the very successful GSoC scheduler project that recently finished.
(look, a link to the new Mailman archive!)
Mailman conversion for DragonFly mailing lists complete
All the mailing lists at @dragonflybsd.org have been converted over to Mailman. The old archives are still functioning, and will continue to update until I can find enough old material to retroactively complete the Mailman archives.
Mailman conversion for dragonflybsd.org mailing lists
If you're on any of the dragonflybsd.org mailing lists, I'm converting them over from bestserv to Mailman. I've done bugs@, commits@, hammer@, and test@ so far, and I'll move the old archives over to the same format as soon as I find an actual mbox file with the old messages in it. The remaining lists should be tomorrow.
(If you got a note tonight from a list you were sure you were unsubscribed from, that was my fault; sorry! I didn't understand the format of the bestserv user lists.)
A whole bunch of installation notes
DragonFly user varialus has created a page on the DragonFly website (it's a wiki, after all) with all the notes taken from trying installation, etc. There's far more notes than I expected there, so it's worth a read.
3.0.3 images up
I've uploaded DragonFly 3.0.3 disk images, both ISO and IMG. They should start appearing on a mirror site near you in the next 24 hours. This took a while after the tagging, I know, but I wanted to make sure every one of them booted. I didn't on a previous release, and regretted it.
Postgres benchmarking again
Francois Tigeot benchmarked several different operating systems using Postgres 9.2b3, including DragonFly, and published the results. I have a local copy of the PDF since the attachment didn't really survive the archiving. Follow the thread for discussion. The Linux results look abnormally high, so it is possible that something different is happening on that platform…
DragonFly and GSoC 2012 wrapup
DragonFly had a successful Google Summer of Code even this year. It marks our 5th time participating, 7th if you count Google Code-In events.
Mihai Carabas worked on adding SMT/HT awareness to the DragonFly scheduler. This project was very successful. The original goal was just to take advantage of threading with the scheduler, but the benchmarks published by Mihai show in general a 5% speedup from these scheduler changes. His work has already been committed.
Vishesh Yadav implemented an inotify interface in DragonFly. inotify is an originally Linux-based system for monitoring files and directories for changes. A specific use for this is an inotify-aware locate program, so that a list of file locations can be kept 'live'. His code for the inotify interface should be committed to DragonFly very soon.
(This was written in part for Google to use on their Open Source Blog.)
3.0.3 tagged
I'm working on building new images, but: DragonFly 3.0.3 has been tagged. If you're running 3.0, you can update and get some of the recent bug fixes.
Planning for the next release
3.2 is the next major release of DragonFly, which will be relatively soon by the every-6-months release schedule. John Marino's put together another catch-all bug report for that release.
Another LiveDVD image
Sascha Wildner's been working on his own DragonFly live images, in DVD or USB form. It uses XFCE along with a number of other packages listed in his post. They are .xz compressed, so they are nice and small for download, but make sure you have something that knows that format.
GSoC week 9 reports
Mihai Carabas has posted his weekly results, showing a 5% improvement in pgbench resultswhen using his scheduler. Vishesh Yadav is working on IN_MOVED_TO/IN_MOVED_FROM flags (part of inotify, I assume). Ivan Sichmann Freitas I haven't heard from yet. (Ivan, where are you?)
MaheshaDragonFlyBSD now available
Juraj Sipos wrote me to describe MaheshaDragonFlyBSD, a live DragonFly image that has additional software preinstalled, and can easily be set to understand Sanskrit. It's available in DVD and USB versions.
Summer of Code status, week 7
Here's the regular status updates for Mihai Carabas (scheduler) and Vishesh Yadav (inotify).
I don't have the update from Ivan Sichmann Freitas yet. Here's Ivan Sichmann Freitas.
Here's a way to donate
If you want to put something towards DragonFly, and you don't have time or hardware, cash is now an option. (It's not tax-deductible.)
GSoC updates, week 6
The usual weekly updates from Mihai Carabas, Vishesh Yadav, and Ivan Sichmann Freitas. Mihai has some interesting bugs found this past week by running his code on Matt Dillon's 48-core system.
pkgsrc-2012Q2 released
The release announcement for pkgsrc-2012Q2 is out. New in this quarterly release: statistics about clang and pkgsrc. A surprisingly large number of packages build just fine with clang instead of gcc.
Midterms coming up for GSoC
Attention students and mentors: the Summer of Code midterms open up on July 9th. This means students fill out an evaluation, and mentors also fill out an evaluation. Don't forget, because completed evals from mentor and student both are necessary for a project to continue being funded.
More benchmarking
More benchmarks, in this case a comparison of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD and DragonFly. I'm not even sure how to derive meaning from it.
What to donate to an open source project
Lazy Reading for 2012/06/24
It's almost an all-Vim week.
- Unix as IDE, a 6 part completed series. (via)
- VimOrganizer, Emac's Org-mode for Vim. (via)
- The Vim Clutch. This is hilarious. (via) Also see "Chindogu", though this might be too useful.
- Those who know UNIX are doomed to reinvent it. (via same place)
- Falsehoods programmers believe about time. Taken from the same thing about names. (via) Also, when someone says, "Oh, I can just look for email addresses using a regular expression", you're stepping over a similar cliff.
- Welcome image in your terminal. (via) Will this work in an xterm? rxvt? I don't know…
- CanI make this Lazy Reading post more nerdy? Yes! Arbitrage and Equilibrium in the Team Fortress 2 Economy. I already enjoy economics writing, and this one is about virtual economies and games. The only thing I know of close to this is the economist that works on EVE Online.
Your unrelated link of the week: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody. Related: What kind of Muppet are you?
Scheduler changes you can try yourself
If you have an Intel processor with multiple cores and hyperthreading support, you can compile a new kernel and try out Mihia Carabas's GSoC work already; he's created a test using the OpenSSL test case to time scheduling performance vs. number of threads.
pkgsrc now frozen, with announcement
I know I already posted that this was on the way, but this time, the quarterly pkgsrc freeze is starting with a detailed announcement. 2 weeks until the next release, if everything goes well.
PHP 5.4 in, PHP 5.2 out
If you're using some PHP application that requires the old behavior of PHP 5.2, you will need to specify that version of PHP – pkgsrc is moving to version
5.4 5.3 as default, with version 5.4 available. (thanks, Takahiro Kambe for the update.)
pkgsrc freeze for 2012Q2 starts on the 16th
The freeze for pkgsrc-2012Q2 starts on the 16th of June, as recently announced. Freezes are usually 2 weeks, so that means 2012Q2 should be tagged at the end of June.
Multi-architecture pkgsrc packages
Pkgsrc already runs on a large number of different platforms, but that's not what I'm talking about. In this case, Joyent, which uses pkgsrc internally, has a suggested change that makes binaries usable on both 32 and 64 bit systems. I don't know if this will go into pkgsrc proper, but it's interesting to see.
Xorg updates in pkgsrc
Apparently a lot of modular-xorg packages in pkgsrc received updates. I think I found some of the changes, but probably not all, so I don't have a good way to sum up the actual effect.
Update: see the end of this cvsweb pkgsrc CHANGES-2012 page for all the changed parts.
GNU utilities, correctly named
There's a number of packages out there that assume you are using the GNU versions of ls, wc, and so on. However, you aren't when using a BSD system. Pkgsrc has historically dealt with this when GNU tools are needed for a package by prefixing them with a 'g'. 'ls' becomes 'gls', and so on. Aleksey Cheusov proposed a fix to keep these utilities under their original names, which I think will go into the next quarterly pkgsrc release.
Pkgsrc removal policy set out
Pkgsrc packages that have source files that can't be redistributed, and go missing for the length of an entire quarterly release, will get removed. They are effectively broken at that point anyway.
That policy is now formally in place; I don't think there was a clear prescription before.
tmpfs and how fast it can go
Venkatesh Srinivas, currently on his colossal bike ride, introduced a different way of creating a tmpfs. This was test code, and Johannes Hofmann benchmarked it (see same page). It's interesting cause there are numbers, and nice to see one person jumping in to test someone else's results/idea.
Building pkgsrc with clang
I think I've mentioned building DragonFly with clang before, but not pkgsrc. There's two variables to set, plus some special handling for libf2c. Thomas Klausner has details. This is not tested on DragonFly.
Phoronix benchmarks revisited
There were some benchmarks of DragonFly 3.0 some time ago on Phoronix. (You may recall it being mentioned here previously.) The disk numbers always seemed weird to me, so I repeated that part of the test, and here's my writeup.
PHP 5.4 status in pkgsrc
Takahiro Kambe is bringing PHP 5.4 into pkgsrc, probably as lang/php54. Follow the whole thread for a discussion of version numbering. As a side effect of this, PHP 5.2 will leave pkgsrc by the next quarterly pkgsrc release. If you're using that older flavor, you'll want to upgrade.
TUI mode added to kgdb
TUI mode is available now for kgdb on DragonFly, thanks to John Marino. It's apparently a Text User Interface for debugging core files. I haven't used it, so I'm relying on the testimony of others.

Rosemary Olive Bread
This bread originated in class a couple of weeks ago. I froze the dough and took it home to bake, where I gave it a long, slow rise in the refrigerator.

Restaurant Style Bread Pudding
Most home cooks will make bread pudding in some variety of casserole dish, producing a relatively flat, custardy dish that must be scooped onto plates. In a restaurant setting, the presentation of an unformed blob on a plate is somewhat less than appetising.

Even though they had a water issue and could not check in to stay for the weekend here as we'd hoped, they DID set up a reservation for us at another lovely hotel and took care of breakfast for us there.
That I didn't get to actually stay here.
The hotel is very nice, located in a great place if you travel in the Firenze area with a car - close to the autostrade. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the breakfast is good.
When we arrived to the hotel, there was a problem with the wi-fi connection in our room. Instead of giving us an immediate solution to the problem (replacing our room...), the lady at the reception insisted that "everything will be fixed soon". Just after more than 2 hours, that the problem wasn't fixed, she agreed to replace our room.
There are no comments available for this review
The hotel is built in a very quiet part of town in the area, and throughout our stay there, did not experience any disturbances or noise, which is what we loved, it is such a beautiful hotel to stay in with outstanding views, the swimming pool is clean and inviting, the staff are very welcoming and friendly and we would definately stay there again
The location outside Florence and the gardens,pool and feeling of nice air. Sitting in the area beside the garden eating a very nice breakfast.
The bedroom was grand in some ways but a little cold and the table had some stains on it which we didn't expect. For what we were paying we might have expected more. As well, the last bus back from Florence was at 7.30 making it impossible to have a nice meal in the city and take the bus back at say 22.00.
On arrival the entrance to the hotel is quite lovely but it only gets better! We were travelling in a family group and my husband and daughter got out of our van to check in . Our daughter had a huge smile as she returned and as we were soon to discover, she and her family were staying in the Villa in a suite that was beyond expectation. Just beautiful. Palatial is a good description. My husband and I had a garden room which was totally different , more rustic charm with a private garden close to the pool. Staff were so lovely and helpful. The gardens everything was perfect . Only tip I can give is make sure to reserve seats for shuttle into Florence early ( night before ) as we missed out and had to make our own way in . Totally recommend this hotel . A quiet oasis not too far from the centre of the city.
The hotel is on the outskirts of the city centre & the hotel offers a daily schuttle to the old city where all the sites are situated. It has a nice open area with beautiful gardens where one can walk or jog. The staff is very freindly & helpful. It is easy assessable by car. The hotel fascilities are perfect & I spend a great few days there & this was the high light of my Italy trip.
Excellent location with spacious rooms. Great customer service. Manicured gardens. Heated pool.
Hotel is located on the outskirts of Florence so a cab is required (approx 20 euros). A shuttle service running three times a day is offerred which help with going out in the morning.
The food,staff,room and location.
Amazing resort Lovely rooms with balcony Gardens were so pretty
So many Mosquitos and insect bites during our stay Also we were woken at 2am on our last night by reception who were calling our room and knocking on the door. Our room had a faulty toilet, which we had reported to reception. The water was continually running in it, but we didn't continually complain and just shut the bathroom door to block out the noise. Our next door neighbours waited until 2am to complain to reception about the noise, so we were woken from our sleep and told to 'press the flush button' in hope that the water would stop running. We were very annoyed by being woken, and when we told reception about this the next morning, they were not very apologetic. Most of the reception staff were very helpful, but the male we were speaking to in the morning was not apologetic at all.
The hotel was outstanding with large grounds to walk around to having your bed turned down and slippers put next to your bed at night. Free bus in to the city and only 20 euros for a taxi back.pool area was great in the day time.
Nothing the hotel was top draw should be a five star!!!! Will stay again if we come back to Florence. Super stay thanks the Johnson family.
The common areas, make sure to book a room in the main hotel building. Very relaxing good location if you are coming with a car.
Do not stay in the side block you can hear people as if they are in your own room. Do not leave anything by the pool as it will be taken away by the stuff. The hotel pool restaurant is good but has limited menu. Generally the stuff is not that helpful. Be sure to book the shuttle to town way in advance!!
Everything about this hotel is wonderful!! Its one of the best hotels I have stayed...
The stuff were very kind , the food was totaly fresh and with lots of options, the place is quite, the location is far from the crowd and yet very near to the city center.
a perfect retreat after a day in Florence,to recharge the batteries and chill out.Everything was perfect here.
There was a great shuttle service into Florence,but I had to make my own way back and forward to the train,at a price of €48 euros,as a bit out,and you're up against traffic.
The staff is marvelous! I travel a lot and their welcome and help are amazing. The site itself is great and immense. The rooms are spacious and quiet. Our stay was above our expectations and we thank again the staff!
The provided free wifi had his own soul... Food and drinks are on the expensive side but at the same level than elsewhere at this period.
Great location for us with the car and the parking area is huge. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with loads of options: not normal for an Italian hotel. They even have warm options. It would be great to change the items as it got boring after a week's stay.
Cleanliness at the breakfast area ahould be improved because bird droppings are everywhere on the seat covers. It's obvious that they are merely brushed off, leaving traces behind: not very appetizing! The pool can be much cleaner as well, especially the open shower (drainage is disgusting) and there were lots of algae in between the tiles in the pool - my pet peeve.
Setting, upkeep, accommodations. Very satisfied.
Few internet interruptions...
We were a a bit travel weary when We arrived and the welcoming and helpful staff were just what we needed. A really comfortable room and the restaurant food was really good The shuttle bus was brilliant
Staff were so helpful, made us feel very welcome with our 2 year old. Room had enough space but common areas were also very useful. Easy drive into Central Florence, but also good free shuttle. Breakfast was amazing and beautiful outlook. Very relaxing feel to a beautiful place just out of hectic Florence. Would definitely return.
Only complaint was the pool had quite a bit of green algai on the walls and in the drain.
The service was the best! Helpful and attended to our every need. Just the service alone was worth every Penny!
The room was a little small but nothing can be done about that and it was overcome with the cleanliness
Very classy.
A little far out but offered a very good shuttle service.
very goods location and place to enjoy peace and city center as well.
Pleasant stay as away from main area. It is quite and serene area. Staff is very helpful and the shuttle service is great to reach to the mainland.
