We look into what a Ceph implementation entails, what specific use-cases it excels at. And we also talk about the building blocks of the system. What kind of hosts is required for different Ceph daemons and the requirements regarding disk space, CPU, and memory. The services we are talking about are OSD (Object storage daemon), Monitors, Managers, and MDS (MetaData Services). Ceph can be used as an S3 compatible object store, disk storage, and even a file system, depending on your setup. If you are interested in diving deeper into the topic, I have created a couple of videos on the subject that might interest you.

Inoffensive in every region of the world Hello, again. This is Trey. This is part 1 of a 6 part series related to information security podcasts. Why am I recording this series? "What podcasts you listen to" was on the list of recommended topics I am passionate about information security We desperately need people to fill infosec jobs in many different specialties Infosec is a rapidly changing field, and it is critical to stay current As a result I listen to TONS of infosec related podcasts Because there are so many podcasts to list, I will break them down into 6 different episodes based on topics: Part 1 – News & Current Events Part 2 – General Information Security Part 3 - Career & Personal Development Part 4 – Social Engineering Part 5 - Hacks & Attacks Technical Information & Learning Infosec Community / Social / History Part 6 – Infosec Leadership Part 1 Infosec News / current events podcasts – Why? Stay aware of what is happening for your own personal growth If you already work in IT or Infosec, you can have early awareness about attacks to look for indicators of compromise, or learn new tools and techniques You can get a head start answering questions from leadership, when they ask about something they heard on the news or from a peer.

As I have been learning Spanish I have been making use of a variety of tools and aids. One of the best is YouTube, where there is a wealth of free stuff. Of course, Spanish is not the only language with good resources here, but it is the one I am studying right now. But if you are interested in learning another language, or improving your knowledge of one, you should take a look.

In this episode, our two heroes explore the realm of artificial intelligence, paying special attention to deep learning (hoping that some of the stuff may rub on them :-). In this first part of a three-part mini-series the chaps discuss the foundation including networks, neurons and other topics of advanced black magic, carefully avoiding the temptations of introducing too much maths (we'll leave this to the Grumpy Old Coders :-).

Wii Options > Wii Settings Verify version is 4.3 If not, Is the Wii connected to the internet If not, go to Connection Settings Pick Connection 1 Enter wifi connection info perform Wii System Update (Page 3 of Wii Settings) Wii Settings > Internet Go to Change Settings A few pages over is Auto-Obtain DNS Select No and Advanced Settings Enter Primary DNS: 97.74.103.14 Enter Secondary DNS: 173.201.71.14 Confirm and Save Settings Press Ok to perform Connection Test This does take a while, be patient because the Wii is slow Go back a couple of pages to Internet Settings Go to User Agreements Would you like to use the Wii Shop Channel and WiiConnect24? Select Yes You must review the User Agreements before using the Wii network services. Select Next Connecting to Internet... Please wait a moment. Another screen will appear with message to "Please wait, this will take 1-2 minutes." Do NOT press I Accept at this point, or it will go to the previous screen. These next two screens will show up, one with console text, which is the exploit, and the next look like static. This is ok The next screen is a message not to be scammed by buying a copy of HackMii. Wait for the option to press '1' to continue. The HackMii menu will now appear, press 'A' to continue. On the HackMii installer screen, use the D-pad on the Wii to arrow up to Install The HomeBrew Channel. At this point the Wii can be powered off. Install Wii Homebrew Browser https://oscwii.org/ I have read that a 2gb non-hd sd card was needed, but found that up to a 32gb card works just fine. Remove the sd card and download and extract the zip file on the main page. Move the folder on the root of the sd card (i.e. apps/homebrew_browser/). More applications can now be accessed from the Homebrew Browser. Adding roms (i.e. Nintendo 64 games) From the Homebrew Browser, add the not64 emulator, as the Wii64 would not save games for me. This is an updated version of the Wii64 emulator. At the root of the sd card, if it is not already there, create a not64/roms folder and place the roms in here. Play Wii games from a USB drive First need to install cIOS (custom OS) Will be installing: cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta52, some guides say cIOS 249 base 56 beta52-alt, YMMV. cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52 From the Homebrew Browser, go to the Utilities tab and install USBLoader and the d2x cIOS installer. Wait for the app to load. You will see the main screen, press A Change the following: cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52-alt base to 56 slot to 249 revision to 65535 Press A to load these values The app will go back to the main screen, just go right back into the app. Change the following: cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52 base to 57 slot to 250 revision to 65535 Press A to load these values You are now ready to format the external USB drive This can be either FAT32 or ext4 Plug in the USB drive afterwards and load the USBloader It only works in one USB slot, so if this is not recognized the first time, move the plug to the other slot. Now you can save games from Wii disks, or load roms from the same drive

Three good decades ago, Richard Stallman founded the free software movement and gave it a name. Two good decades ago there was a fork and Eric S. Raymond, Bruce Perens and others founded the open source software movement, and neglected to tell us who gave it a name. (it was Christine Peterson[0]) Ever since then, the free software side of the two movements has been careful to guard the boundary between the two, see Richard Stallman's essay "Open Source Misses the Point".[1] But lately a lot of people have increasingly been feeling that free software misses the point. Ironically a lot of this has been coming from the open source side of things, as the official free software philosophy has been firmly anchored with Stallman, and he hasn't been interested in moving his philosophy in more inclusive directions. For sure, there are a lot of people in free software who have been wanting to go in this direction as well. I've been thinking of it as a "free software plus", as it builds on the free software philosophy, but adds aspects of social responsibility. The fact that Stallman was forced to resign from being Free Software Foundation president two years ago was a sign that people inside free software cared about more than just the code and what freedoms it gives the recipient. A month ago, if you are listening to this on April the 20th 2021, a manifesto was published called "Towards A Communal Software Movement", and I'll get to that in a minute. I mentioned the names of the drivers of the previous movements, but this author has said "I intentionally left authors' names out of it"[2], and I think that makes sense. Part of the problems with previous movements has been this Great Man of History fallacy, which may have kept them focused and on track, but it has also held them back. The movement is young and has already changed names once as I was writing about it. The manifesto is now "Towards A Cooperative Technology Movement", and I have updated the shownotes and my commentary to reflect that. https://misskey.de/notes/8k0igd5tcd I see the difference between free software and cooperative technology similarly as the difference between open source and free software. There are certainly people within open source and on the Open Source Initiative board that look further than just the license, and treat open source like just another brand name for free software. But at its core, the Open Source Definition is all about the licensing and that document is the shared common ground for all open source. People write code for different reasons and there's a license and contribution model that allow them to come together without those differences of purpose getting too much in the way. So if the software and the license is "what" we're building, the philosophical documents of free software provide the guidance on "why" we are building it: We want to get away from proprietary software, we want to control our own computing, we want the freedoms to use, learn, modify and share, etc. Free software is about our freedoms. So just like "free" is right there in the name, maybe the "community" in "communal software" or the "cooperative" in "cooperative technology" is all about the "who": Who gets the freedom, who has the influence, who is affected. And again, lots of people in free software do care about community principles beyond code, care about social responsibility, but the shared baseline is the care for formal, technical and individual user freedom: If you receive the code, you are allowed the technical rights to update the code, the code or license should not restrict your freedoms, you, the recipient of the so

This show is a counter point to the show hpr3311 :: Bradley M. Kuhn’s article from 2019 on Richard M. Stallman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In September 2019, Richard Stallman resigned as president of the FSF and left his “visiting scientist” role at MIT after making controversial comments about Marvin Minsky’s alleged role in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal. Stallman remained head of the GNU Project nevertheless and, in 2021, he returned to the FSF board of directors. Since the show was submitted both the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and Richard Stallman have released statements on the matter. I am submitting those statements here under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 license. The statements contains many links which are available in the shownotes for this show. Statement of FSF board on election of Richard Stallman Published on Apr 12, 2021 10:25 AM by Free Software Foundation The voting members of the Free Software Foundation, which include the board of directors, voted to appoint Richard Stallman to a board seat after several months of thorough discussion and thoughtful deliberation. We decided to bring RMS back because we missed his wisdom. His historical, legal and technical acumen on free software is unrivaled. He has a deep sensitivity to the ways that technologies can contribute to both the enhancement and the diminution of basic human rights. His global network of connections is invaluable. He remains the most articulate philosopher and an unquestionably dedicated advocate of freedom in computing. RMS acknowledges that he has made mistakes. He has sincere regrets, especially at how anger toward him personally has negatively impacted the reputation and mission of FSF. While his personal style remains troubling for some, a majority of the board feel his behavior has moderated and believe that his thinking strengthens the work of the FSF in pursuit of its mission. We take full responsibility for how badly we handled the news of his election to a board seat. We had planned a flow of information that was not executed in a timely manner or delivered in the proper sequence. FSF staff should have been informed and consulted first. The announcement by RMS at LibrePlanet was a complete surprise to staff, all those who worked so hard to organize a great event, to LibrePlanet speakers and to the exhibitors. We had hoped for a more inclusive and thoughtful process and we apologize that this did not occur. In his position on the board, RMS has the same responsibilities as other members. He is an unpaid volunteer and subject to the organization’s policies, including prohibitions against conflicts of interest and sexual harassment and those outlining whistleblower processes and fiduciary duties. The responsibilities of the board are described at https://www.fsf.org/about/the-role-of-the-fsfs-board-of-directors. We believe his views will be critical to the FSF as we advance the mission and confront the challenges that software freedom faces. In recent weeks, the board has committed to a series of changes related to organizational governance, including plans to adopt a transparent, formal pro

Tesseract (software) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tesseract is an optical character recognition engine for various operating systems. It is free software, released under the Apache License. Originally developed by Hewlett-Packard as proprietary software in the 1980s, it was released as open source in 2005 and development has been sponsored by Google since 2006. In 2006, Tesseract was considered one of the most accurate open-source OCR engines then available. $ tesseract -l eng english-page.jpg english $ tesseract -l nld dutch-page.jpg dutch $ ls dutch.txt english.txt

Inoffensive in every region of the world. Meeting me is a completely different story. Name is Trey. I have been listening to HPR for about a year and after hearing repeated pleas for episodes, I thought I would record some of my own. I cannot guarantee quality of production nor content, but I hope you find them entertaining. This episode is simply an introduction with a little bit of information about me My love of computers began 40 years ago when my parents scrimped and saved to purchase a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a computer. I began programming in BASIC, saving programs to audio cassette tapes. I remember buying magazines to get new programs to enter, save, edit, and turn into something different. Soon I expanded the computer to include 32K of RAM and an RS232 card which allowed me to connect a 300 BAUD modem and connect to bulletin board systems (BBS). BBS became my connection to the world. I later upgraded to a Commodore 64, which gave me a floppy disk. Much faster than saving to tape. I studied electronics & computers in college, then went to work for a large computer vendor, traveling all over fixing computers, networks, and peripherals. After about a decade, I joined a different company where I worked in systems administration and engineering, with a focus on information security. I have worked as security analyst, incident responder, security engineer, and security architect, then built out and managed the SOC for a large organization. Today, I am still focused on information security and I also dabble in clock repair, Ham radio, electronics, and photography. I may record some episodes on some of these topics in the future. Thank you for listening to me prattle on about myself, and have an awesome day.
