Bad News from Google


Not happy about this, but seems to me if someone can identify all of Googles ad-server and tracker IP space, we ought to be able to develop a simple DNS solution consisting of normal DNS servers such as BIND with all of their address space used for trackers and ad-servers black holed.

@Dwayne Parsons It's difficult for me to envision that level of psychopathy. You create something, it kills a few million, perhaps a few hundred million by the time all is said and done, and cripples four or five times that many and you lie and act as though nothing happened and show zero remorse. I sincerely hope a bullet finds that guys head and sooner rather than later. Or better yet, his own creation kills him, painfully.

@Nanook Yes, I think you may be right on this one. It's probably why they kept harping on about Trump being a Russian agent. Since, if the election had gone the other way, they might have been successful with their sanctions, and their proxy war of attrition aimed at the Russians. Although, despite all their best efforts, time and history, in their bias, made the final call. Viewing the transpired events in that light, all their actions and motivations are now laid even more bare and gives purpose for everything that transpired, between those years.

I filmed this at a KNDD Beach House event many years ago with Brian Aubert's permission. And I must say meeting him in person, he was an absolute gentleman. Sorry there is a lot of camera jitter but there was a huge crowd so I wasn't able to use a tripod and had to hand hold the camera up in the air to get above the crowd.

Yacy


yacy.eskimo.com/, a federated search engine, is currently down because something exploded. Admin password changed which makes me suspect it was hacked, and a restoration of an old database did not restore it to operation. I am currently re-indexing the restored database, if that does not fix then I will re-install the software. It will be back, I just dunno how long it will take.

Kernel Upgrades Friday Oct 7 11:00-11:30PM PDT (GMT-0700)


Posted on October 7, 2022

We will be upgrading the remaining systems including the physical hosts to the 6.0.0 kernel release. We’ve got it presently installed on about a dozen servers and so far only one expedited RCU CPU Stall and that occurred during boot-up on the physical server with the most guest machines. This can happen even with a good kernel because systemd’s parallelization results in large numbers of processes in run state simultaneously and this in turn can cause the RCU process not to get CPU in the 30ms allocated, but in the week we got only that one and no others where previous 6.0-rc5 and rc6 kernels generated 20-30 in the first five minutes and were basically unusable.

No single service should be out for more than about ten minutes EXCEPT for yacy which rebuilds it’s indexes every time it restarts and this process takes about half an hour.

The 6.0 kernel re-wrote the scheduler in a way that benefits multi-core systems. Although the changes were largely aimed at AMD’s Ryzen CPU’s, we say substantial improvements on our Intel based servers as well, particularly in the area of scheduling latency. It reduced the time it took our web server to load a WordPress page from about 280ms to 40ms, a seven fold improvement and the largest improvement I’ve seen from any Linux kernel upgrade since kernel .98.

This affects all Eskimo North services including shared web hosting, private virtual servers, shell servers, e-mail, and our free federated services friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/. If you wish to support our free services, please consider signing up for a Linux shell or web hosting account at eskimo.com/services/free-trial…

Sexual Morality and the World


I have often wondered why God forbids sexual immorality, and I have some thoughts on this.

In spiritual terms, In John 15:10 Jesus says, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

I think this only approximates what is meant. It is clear from what descriptions of heaven exist that many things we take for granted in this universe, entropy in particular, do not exist. For if entropy existed in heaven so would decay and death and we know that it does not. And without entropy there is no need for energy as it would not dissipate, so we don't need to eat, and thus the lion can lie down with the lamb and the lamb can be confident it won't be eaten.

And without entropy there is no flow of time, and this makes sense as God is timeless.

I believe the the creation story of the Bible is misinterpreted in a major way, because it sets us apart from God, I believe we and all of creation are part of God, God thought, and that is why if he ceases to remember us, we cease to exist.

This is why everything in a physical sense reduces to fields, nothing material, because fundamentally it is all God thought.

So when Jesus says he abides in the Father's love and so we can abide in his, I really think it goes to our very existence, we are only drops in the ocean of God, and we will some day return to that ocean and this is where the relationship to sexual immorality comes into play. Because when we enter another's body, we are trying to recreate physically what is natural spiritually but in a physical sense it is very shallow and incomplete and thus profanes the spiritual joining that we will experience, and also that from which we came.

But that is just a spiritual aspect, there is a practical physical aspect as well, dealing with our evolution. And I'm not one that believes evolution and creation are at odds, I believe religion tells us what God did, science tells us how God did it, although science is an approximation at best. What we know about evolution is that men who are good providers, particularly during the times when resources were more scarce than in modern times, were preferred by women because they gave their off-spring a better chance to survive. Thus today, rich men are preferred over poor, have more mating opportunities, and that drives some to such extremes that they would sacrifice everyone else for their own proliferation.

This I think is the physical danger of sexual immorality, the Bill Gates, the Klaus Schwabs, the Rockeller's of the world, this is what drives their greed and destructiveness. And because this is not the world God wants for us, it is evil.

Linux Official 6.0 Release


Posted on October 4, 2022

At this point I have Linux kernel 6.0 installed on all but private virtual machines and the physical hosts. So far it’s running MUCH better than rc5 or rc6, but not perfect. I’ve gotten ONE expedited RCU CPU stall in a days time on a dozen or so machines. With 6.0rc5-6 I would see dozens in the same time frame.

The scheduler has been substantially re-worked in the 6.0 kernel, most of these changes were aimed at AMD CPUs but it made for substantial performance improvements on Intel as well. One stall in one day across a dozen machines means one process hung for up to two minutes in that time frame, not a HUGE concern but enough that I don’t want to put it on the physical hosts yet. The scheduling changes cut the latency for the web server down by approximately 6 fold, that ain’t chicken feed!

I’ve posted the most recent expedited RCU CPU stall with the bug report I had filed with bugzilla.kernel.org, for anyone interested it is bug #216501 and you can read the details here: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.c…

evbug Potential Root Password Leak


Modern Linux includes a module called evbug. If it is not blacklisted, then every USB event is logged to dmesg, and, if you have kernel configured to allow dmesg to be invoked with a non-privileged user, and you have a USB keyboard, there is a method for any user to gain access to your root account.

The fix for this is to blacklist evbug. In /etc/modprobe, create a file such as blacklist.conf, that contains:

blacklist evbug

And reboot. This should stop the evbug module from being loaded and thus your USB keyboard input from being printed to dmesg for potential public viewing.

Linux Kernel Expedited RCU CPU Stalls


I received a note from bugzilla.kernel.org that another user found 6.0.0rc7 no longer had the expedited RCU CPU stalls issue, but before I could grab and try it, the official release of 6.0 came out, so I’m going to build it and give it a try on a few select servers. If it runs clean during the week I’ll propagate it to the other machines this coming weekend.

Banks - A Financial Product Suggestion


Come out with a credit card that has a debt limit of zero, that is you can't actually charge anything to it, but it is in every other way valid.

This way when you have these sites with opt-out free trials, that is free trials that at the end you have to go in and opt out, often made so complicated as to be easier to cancel the card, rather than having the service just terminate if you don't opt-in at this point, you can use this card for the payment info, enjoy your trial, and then the billing will fail so you automatically opt-out on these opt-in bogus sites like youtube-tv.

Kernel Upgrades 11pm Oct 2nd PST (GMT-0700)


Posted on October 2, 2022

Things are running smoothly but load is high with stock 5.15.0 kernel from Ubuntu. I’ve configured the latest 5.15 kernel (5.15.71) and installed on a number of machines and it is also running well with no forced preemption, 100HZ clock, and fully tickless kernel. This reduces overhead somewhat and so I am going to install on the physical servers tonight at 11PM which will require rebooting everything. This will result in some downtime between 11PM-11:30PM, not more than about 10 minutes for any given service.

I will be installing this kernel on most of the other machines during the week but I need to get it on the physical hosts tonight.

This will affect all Eskimo North services, including private virtual servers, shell servers, shared web hosting packages such as virtual domains, personal and business web hosting packages, and e-mail.

It will also affect our fediverse services friendica.eskimo.com/ (a fediverse social media site), hubzilla.eskimo.com/ (another fediverse social media site), nextcloud.eskimo.com/ (a federated cloud service), and yacy.eskimo.com/ (a federated non-censored search engine).

Vaccines - A Tool of Satan


I know this video seems a bit whack and over the top but it jives with some info I've come across. There is a genetic trait that makes one more or less susceptible to belief in a higher being. There was research done with an attempt to use CRISPR to knock out this gene. I've suspected that this was included in the genetics of this vax from day one. It seemed consistent with the Gates/Schwab/Harari agenda.

Excellent Putin Speech


I urge you to watch this through because I think although he starts with a bit of posturing, and I think that is an inevitable part of being a politician, in the end he talks about values, and they are values I share and I think most of us share, and they aren't the values of Klaus Schwab and transgenderism and the general Satanistic influences in the West today. I am so happy that Putin gave Edward Snoden full Russian citizenship, and I think that speaks for human values right there. Truth is important and that's something you don't get from our politicians, either party, save maybe to some degree Trump, and it's certainly something we don't get from our media.

Kernel Upgrades and Expedited RCU CPU Stalls


Posted on September 30, 2022

From kernels 5.15 forward, we’ve had issues with expedited RCU CPU stalls on our servers.

I’ve experimented with kernels configured per the stock Ubuntu configuration and these same kernels do NOT show expedited RCU CPU stalls.

The RCU system is Read-Copy-Update, it is a means to allow read concurrency with updates without requiring a lock resulting in greater efficiency in modern multi-core CPUs or in multiple CPU systems. If you are interested in details read kernel.org/doc/html/latest/RCU…

The kernels I will be putting in place tonight are 5.19.12 and in a few cases 5.19.11 (I started the update working with 5.19.11 then kernel.org came out with 5.19.12), with a configuration closely resembling the Ubuntu “generic” kernels, which is to say it won’t be entirely tickless, only idle tickless and it won’t be entirely non-preemptive, but will allow voluntary preemption. This is less efficient than our normal kernels but a weeks worth of testing has shown it to be stable on four of our busiest servers.

I will be further testing a kernel that is voluntarily preemptive but completely tickless on the four busiest servers to see if that is stable. I’ve been testing this configuration on my workstation and other than higher latency you get with non-preemptive kernels, it has been stable. If this works out we will adopt this configuration on the rest of the servers next Friday.

This will affect all Eskimo services, shared web hosting, shell services, e-mail, virtual private servers, as well as our Fediverse services, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

The updates will begin at 11PM and should be completed by 11:30PM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-0700) tonight Friday September 30th, 2022. No single service should be down for more than about ten minutes.

I've been a recreational fan for many decades but I've become a medical customer as well for the last 5-6 years. Sativa has an antispasmodic in it, it stops muscle spasms, much better than prescription meds can. And a doctor was the one that said that, of course, after I said it helped. lol

It seems to be the terpenes that actually make the difference. Gelato 41 specifically is the perfect mix for me. Medically speaking. Sativa dominant hybrids are what I prefer because I need the sativa, but I like the Indica. The place I go to has some GMO Indica's, I get the 32%. But, when they have it I get the 39 percent, which is the highest I've seen, but they don't have that one regularly enough.

Of course Oregon weighs it right in front of you out of a bottle. Everywhere else you buy a prefilled bottle that has a weight on it, a weight I know for sure will not be the same in just a day, much less the month earlier that some bottles were weighed.

That's why going by SD a while back was so nice. Black market herb lose and fragrant. Apparently they have not actually been able to shut down the black market there. Which is good in my opinion.

Kind Bud you mean Kine Bud


I think that is where it came from also, it was Southern California and the surfer culture, which originated in Hawaii. so probably so, but they did say kind. Of maybe they were saying kine! hmmm Probably kine.
