BSDCan 2014 talks and reports, part 2

• More presentations and trip reports are still being uploaded
• Ingo Schwarze, New Trends in mandoc
• Vsevolod Stakhov, The Architecture of the New Solver in pkg
  
• Julio Merino, The FreeBSD Test Suite
• Zbigniew Bodek, Transparent Superpages for FreeBSD on ARM
• There\’s also a trip report from Michael Dexter and another (very long and detailed) trip report from our friend Warren Block that even gives us some linkage, thanks!

Beyond security, getting to know OpenBSD\’s real purpose

• Michael W Lucas (who, we learn through this video, has been using BSD since 1986) gave a \”webcast\” last week, and the audio and slides are finally up
• It clocks in at just over 30 minutes, managing to touch on a lot of OpenBSD topics
• Some of those topics include: what is OpenBSD and why you should care, the philosophy of the project, how it serves as a \”pressure cooker for ideas,\” briefly touches on GPL vs BSDL, their \”do it right or don\’t do it at all\” attitude, their stance on NDAs and blobs, recent LibreSSL development, some of the security functions that OpenBSD enabled before anyone else (and the ripple effect that had) and, of course, their disturbing preference for comic sans
• Here\’s a direct link to the slides
• Great presentation if you\’d like to learn a bit about OpenBSD, but also contains a bit of information that long-time users might not know too

FreeBSD vs Linux, a comprehensive comparison

• Another blog post covering something people seem to be obsessed with – FreeBSD vs Linux
• This one was worth mentioning because it\’s very thorough in regards to how things are done behind the scenes, not just the usual technical differences
• It highlights the concept of a \”core team\” and their role vs \”contributors\” and \”committers\” (similar to a presentation Kirk McKusick did not long ago)
• While a lot of things will be the same on both platforms, you might still be asking \”which one is right for me?\” – this article weighs in with some points for both sides and different use cases
• Pretty well-written and unbiased article that also mentions areas where Linux might be better, so don\’t hate us for linking it

Expand FreeNAS with plugins

• One of the things people love the most about FreeNAS (other than ZFS) is their cool plugin framework
• With these plugins, you can greatly expand the feature set of your NAS via third party programs
• This page talks about a few of the more popular ones and how they can be used to improve your NAS or media box experience
• Some examples include setting up an OwnCloud server, Bacula for backups, Maraschino for managing a home theater PC, Plex Media Server for an easy to use video experience and a few more
• It then goes into more detail about each of them, how to actually install plugins and then how to set them up

News Roundup

Code review culture meets FreeBSD

• In most of the BSDs, changes need to be reviewed by more than one person before being committed to the tree
• This article describes Phabricator, an open source code review system that we briefly mentioned last week
• Instructions for using it are on the wiki
• While not approved by the core team yet for anything official, it\’s in a testing phase and developers are encouraged to try it out and get their patches reviewed
• Just look at that fancy interface!!

Michael Lucas\’ next tech books

• Sneaky MWL somehow finds his way into both our headlines and the news roundup
• He gives us an update on the next BSD books that he\’s planning to release
• The plan is to release three (or so) books based on different aspects of FreeBSD\’s storage system(s) – GEOM, UFS, ZFS, etc.
• This has the advantage of only requiring you to buy the one(s) you\’re specifically interested in
• \”When will they be released? When I\’m done writing them. How much will they cost? Dunno.\”
• It\’s not Absolute FreeBSD 3rd edition…

CARP failover and high availability on FreeBSD

• If you\’re running a cluster or a group of servers, you should have some sort of failover in place
• But the question comes up, \”how do you load balance the load balancers!?\”
• This video goes through the process of giving more than one machine the same IP, how to set up CARP, securing it and demonstrates a node dying
• Also mentions DNS-based load balancing as another option

PCBSD weekly digest

• This time in PCBSD land, we\’re getting ready for the 10.0.2 release (ISOs here)
• AppCafe got a good number of fixes, and now shows 10 random highlighted applications
• EasyPBI added a \”bulk\” mode to create PBIs of an entire FreeBSD port category
• Lumina, the new desktop environment, is still being worked on and got some bug fixes too

The post Relaxing | FauxShow 88 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

HBO’s new fantasy series “Game of Thrones” premieres this Sunday, April 17th. It is based on a series of books that are very awesome, and very nerdy.

I won’t mince words — Jeremy is a huge fanboy, and extremely excited to watch this. He wants to tell you why you should also be excited. So for our “looking to the weekend” show this week, we’re going to take you to the world of George RR Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” and lay some fantasy awesomeness all up in your faces.

[ad#shownotes]

Show Notes:

Based on a popular series of fantasy novels by George RR Martin
– The fifth and final (???) book in the series, “Dance With Dragons” will be released July 12.

14 minute “Prologue” to whet your appetite
– The reason this prologue is so neat, is because it IS the prologue from the first book.
– It helps to show how closely they are staying to the source material.

The plot:
The 7 kingdoms of Westeros were once united by a vicious line of tyrants called the Targaryens. In ages past, the Targaryens controlled dragons, but the great beasts have all died out. The last of their line was dethroned recently during a rebellion led by Robert Baratheon, who is now king.

The story primarily follows the members of House Stark – formerly the Kings of the northern kingdom of Winterfell, who now swear fealty to whoever sits on the Iron Throne. The current Lord Stark (played by Sean Bean) is a long-time friend and loyal follower of King Baratheon, and helped him win his throne.

The first book revolves around one primary plot, with many others drifting in and out of importance:  The King’s most trusted advisor has been murdered, and Baratheon appoints Lord Stark as the new one. His first mission is to uncover the truth behind the murder of his predecessor.

Quicker summary: (PIC)
It’s like Sopranos, only there’s 7 families, and they use swords instead of guns.

Why this show will be worth watching:
– An incredible cast of actors (Full Cast & Crew IMDB)
* Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings Trilogy – Boromir) IMDB
* Lena Headey (Sarah Connor Chronicles, 300) IMDB
* Peter Dinklage (Chronicles of Narnia, Nip/Tuck) IMDB
* Jason Momoa (SG: Atlantis) IMDB
– A breathtaking visual style
* Pictures of sets here
* Video of Throne Room (start at 0:51)
* Video of Concept Art concepts (start at 0:52)
– A steadfast devotion to the source material
* George RR Martin (Author) is on set frequently, offering his input on everything from scripts to costumes to food to set decoration.
* Example: Actress playing “Arya” (Stark’s youngest daughter) is right-handed, but the character is left-handed. She learned to sword fight left-handed, just to fit the books.
– HBO has a proven track record of extremely high quality production values (Rome, Sopranos, Carnivale, Band of Brothers). The books this series are based on are also very adult themed, including lots of sex and violence. Only HBO could do it justice.
“By The Numbers” article breaks down production values in monetary figures
* 3 beheadings before the opening credits
* 5 topless women in the pilot episode
– The story is already written! As long as they stick close to the plots of the books, then they never have to fall into writing traps that they have to find ways out of, or leave loose ends or anything else like that.

[ad#shownotes]

Why it could stink:

-Accents. Inconsistent, or just bad. Cast is from all over the world, and they’re trying to make Westeros have a “real” feel by giving everyone similar accents.
-Too many characters. 7 houses, each with about a dozen players, plus the exiled princess and her crew.

Extreme Press Blitz:
HBO has done a few really strange and awesome press events to promote this series:

– “The Maester’s Path”
– A web game that ran ongoing events, allowing people to learn more about the world of Westeros, and gain neat prizes. Final prizes included personalized letters from GRRM, and awesome swag.
– Food Truck
– Every few days for the past month or so, there’s been a catering truck driving around NYC serving “authentic Westeros cuisine” and advertising the show. George RR Martin has stopped by at least one of these events, as have other members of the production crew.
– The Iron Throne @ WonderCon
– Not only could regular shmoes get their picture taken on the throne, but celebrities of all shapes and sizes also did so, and then tweeted out images of themselves doing it.
– Pedi-Cab Fleet in NYC
– A fleet of bicycle taxis, made up to look like the Iron Throne. Sweet.
– A 30-foot tall projection billboard in Hollywood

It’s a ridiculously huge money-making franchise that even rivals that of Star Wars and Star Trek. No other series of young-adult books have ever matched it — even The TWILIGHT Saga.

As the first half of the final installment of Harry Potter lands in theaters this weekend, tune in to hear the thoughts of the J@N crew on this phenomenon, and the impact it’s having on the world.
