What's up everyone? My name is Alex. I'm one of the co-founders of MyInvestingClub.com and I want to let you guys know about something special we're doing for our viewers on YouTube. So the most common question we get asked is, you know, how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about is we create a free two-hour mentorship course for the brand new trader. It's going to be available at MyInvestingClub.co. The link is going to be right here. This is a free webinar that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they start. I also want to let you guys know about something that's very unique to MIC. So if you have any questions about trading or you're curious about trading or you don't know if MIC is the right fit for you, now you can text our head mentor, Tash, whose number is going to be right here and he'll answer all the questions that you have in less than 24 hours. Thank you and enjoy the video. What's up guys? It's Harry Haas here. And today I'm going to be doing kind of an interesting video on how I kind of beat FOMO a little bit, adjusting on the fly, how I kind of do both of those things. It's a topic that's kind of been requested. So I just went ahead and made a video on it. As you guys all know, I'm not a licensed financial advisor. This is not an investment device, even if it seems like it. But without further ado, let's get into the video. So basically all my plans are based on this general idea of adjusting on the fly and letting the market tell me where it wants to go rather than me trying to be a hero and playing like kind of a guessing game.  All my plans are based off of kind of if then statements. I think a lot of traders do it like this as well. But I just thought I would kind of like show you guys how I kind of make a plan. So for example, like if the pre-market has happened and now we're getting ready to open up for the day. For me, I'm saying, okay, there's two scenarios that can happen at the open. The first scenario is that we get this major like either like, I don't know, like chat room or a lot of people are buying a stock. There's a lot of demand for the stock. A lot of people right off the open are buying the stock. And then maybe I'm looking to play off a support line for the stock to go higher. But if we just get a wash out, a big sell off, that tells me that maybe the company is using some dilution. Maybe there are a lot of sellers. Maybe there's bag holders pre-market, you know, you never know. So then I'm going to be looking to play off more of a support line and just kind of long a type of backside bounce. Because I mean, my general rule for that type of stuff is I'll play a couple backside bounces off the off the backside, you know, if it's kind of a low floater or, you know, just a stock that that I believe has kind of enough like risk reward type of potential for me to want to long on the on the backside. And I'll go over like all the kind of like photos and you know, ways I do it. But yeah, I mean, for the most part for me, I'm not trying to to guess where the market's going to go. I'm not trying to to say, okay, well, my magic spreadsheet says that this stock should run 100% today. So I'm just going to blindly go along like I'll never I'm not that type of trader to do that. And I never will be for me. I'm just trying to to assess the price action that's going on in front of me. And I'm using the lines and using the chart pattern to really kind of to really kind of go off. So yeah, this is a photo example of like, I guess it's kind of this slide, but more so in a photo example, so you guys can understand. So yeah, let's say this is this is pre-market, we're in the morning, you know, we didn't have any FOMO. We didn't we didn't make any pre-market trades. We just let the chart develop. And I love that kind of analogy as Bao said, where we kind of let these these earlier people develop the chart and they're almost like they're they're like the people who kind of help develop the chart. So shout out to them. And now we have a nice crisp developed chart here. And we there's two scenarios that can really happen with this type of play. So number one is that we we get a washout and maybe you can play off a support line from, you know, this kind of support line into this kind of resistance line. And you know, maybe this breaks and it ends up fading for the day breaks the kind of death line area here. You know, maybe it goes straight through, who knows, that's why we have stops, right? So we can have this type of green line. But we could also have, you know, a spike at the open, a hold of support. And then this goes higher and grinds all the early front side shorts out. So we we are always going to have kind of these two types of scenarios that can happen. Either the stock wants to go higher at the at the open or yeah, I mean, there's a hundred scenarios, I just kind of chose to to kind of put it into perspective. I mean, for me, we're always going to have these these types of these types of scenarios happening in the market day to day.  Then those are plays that that I like to take. And I'm not necessarily like a risk reward guy per se. You know, if I think that the stock has a, you know, a high probability of making a move and maybe it's like a one to two or whatever they say risk reward, then I'll look to kind of take that. But I never want to I never want to be trying to I guess I'm never trying to take profit at more than I'm risking. That's kind of my own general rule. And that's kind of how I've always played it. Because I mean, if I'm risking 20 cents to make 10, I mean, there's no real point in that.  And I'll never really I'll never really trade like that. But yeah, this is this is more so kind of how I'm able to beat FOMO as well. Because I mean, if let's say you only plan for this green scenario to happen, you were like, no, this is definitely backside. This is going to fade. This is going to and you kind of you talk yourself into it. You're like, oh, yeah, well, this is definitely going to fade.  And then it starts grinding higher and you're a long trader and you have a plan for that. And by the time it's up here, you're like, oh, well, I got to get in this, I got to get in this. And then you're only given these kind of backside type of bounces. And maybe you're you're the type of guy who's trying to hold for a home run. And you have that you have all this kind of emotion and FOMO bottled up from the front side that you missed. And those are where a lot of people take those backside losses. Because on the backside, if you're a long trader, like, I mean, I really believe that as like kind of for a long trader, like I've talked to a lot of long traders and a lot of their losses do happen on the backside because they expect it to go higher. And then when it doesn't, they end up getting stopped out or whatever. So that's why on the backside, I'm only looking for 10, 20 cent moves, maybe even 30 cents. It really depends on the type of meat. But I mean, if you're a newer trader, I'd only be looking to play this kind of first type of bounce area. And I mean, this is kind of a, I guess it's more so a line to line chart. But I mean, for me, like, like if I've only planned for this, maybe I was planning for a bounce here and a sell into resistance. And that was it. But again, at the end of the day, if this starts happening and I don't have a plan, then I I'm kind of screwed because I'm trying to adjust on the fly. Then you start getting emotional. You start feeling that FOMO. So I'm always planning on every single stock for two scenarios to happen. And that is number one, this big pop out of the gate. And number two, maybe we get a big wash out of the gate. And really either either scenario is fine for me. I'm not necessarily I try not to get like really bummed out if we get a stock washing out and fading and I only get one bounce. And and I mean, recently in my career, I guess it was kind of a week and a half, two weeks where I did go short, but I really enjoy longing stocks. So so in review, let the market show you where it wants to go. That's always my biggest mantra is that because I see all these people who are like, well, they have a big ATM. So it has to fade. And then they end up getting squeezed out on the front side because they're not paying paying attention to the technicals. They're too biased on the fundamentals. And you need to to kind of to to have a mix of both, right? I mean, I'm not really necessarily a fundamentals trader, but I'm kind of always aware of what people are saying in the in the chat. I'm always aware of like when Bao posts kind of some dilution or OK, they do have a big ATM. I'm always aware of it. And if anything, it makes me a better trader because I'm willing to stop out that much more. I'm willing to say, OK, my idea is wrong. I'm stopping out. They have some dilution. So I don't I don't really mind when when people say, oh, we have dilution here, dilution there. That doesn't matter to me. I mean, I'm just going to stop out and just follow my plan. Number two, I'm always trading line to line. And number three, with proper planning, you can eliminate so much FOMO, right? Let's say I wasn't planned for that big move to happen. And I mean, really know what you can never be really planned for big moves like that to happen. All you can do is draw your lines and let the stock show you where it wants to go. But because I was prepared for any type of scenario to happen, I was prepared for for the action that was happening at the open there. I was prepared for the action that was that the stock could possibly go lower. I was very prepared for both scenarios. And that's why I didn't really have a lot of FOMO because I'm like, OK, scenario one didn't work. Let's move on to scenario two. And you need to kind of have your that in your head that it's like, OK, we can have two things that happen at the open. Like, if I'm a short seller and I start seeing that action and start grind up, grind up, grind up. If you're so convicted on plan one and you don't think about scenario two where it's like, oh, I could be wrong, you can take some heavy losses. And that's why for me, I've always tried to kept my trading as as as less bias as possible and just more kind of line to line and let the market show me where it wants to go. Yeah. So 30 minutes before the open, I kind of wanted to add there to focus up, like don't go on your phone. Don't go on Twitter. No music. Use this time for planning. Use this time to be the best trader you can be. Use this time to say, OK, I'm reading through everything. I'm reading main chat. I'm reading what other traders are saying. I'm reading what the chart is saying. I'm looking. I know everything about the stock. I know the story. I know that I'm reading the news. I'm reading this. I'm you use that time to be very, very focused up because I find a lot of traders underutilized that time, which is a gift because you are up. Some people wake up at like, you know, nine, nine, 29, and they have done no research, no preparation, nothing. And they're just going in there and winging it. And you need if you're up an hour, two hours, three hours early before the market opens, that is a gift. Use that time for your preparation. Use that time to plan things out. Use that time to be the best trader that you can be. Because if you're not somebody else will and they'll take that P&L and they'll take that money right away from you. So, I mean, use that time for planning, you know, main chat is OK.  Maybe you're even petting your cat. Maybe maybe my cat wants out and it wants like a good petting. It's like, sorry, Daisy, no, I need to trade. And then after I'm done trading, I'll pet you later. There's a lot of a lot of things that you can be doing with your time. And I just thought I'd point this out. I'm always around, send me a DM, go over a chart, schedule a call. I mean, I'm always around and I feel like, you know, as much like I'm just always around. So if you want a chart reviewed, if you want something kind of, you know, reviewed to me, send me a message, let me know. And I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Usually same day or the next day. This holiday week always screws me up with like sleeping. And I don't know why, but holiday weeks are like terrible for me. So it's weird. So, yeah, I'm looking to to kind of get back on track. I mean, not that I wasn't, but I'm just going to try and get my sleeping schedule back to where it was, get my kind of my body back to where it was. And yeah, just get back in the groove for another week. So I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Hope you guys enjoyed my little planning rant. You know, I think it needs to be said and I hope you guys have a great, great rest of your day, night, wherever you're from. And I'll talk to you later. Thank you so much for watching our video.

The Catholic University of America has welcomed a growing number of Muslim students in recent years. It is not just Catholics who feel at home there. Being in a religious environment where religion is practiced, it makes it more understandable and easier to practice the religion itself. Al-Shabnan is a Muslim from Saudi Arabia. She likes Catholic University because of its conservative values. Family values, I guess the nuclear family, pro-life, the position of the school on those issues go along with my position as well. Christine Micah heads the university's admissions office. While they may not be Catholic, there is a sense of security and safety of practicing your faith on campus here. Weam Al-Salmi came to Catholic University from a university with no religious ties. She says faith is a way of life here. The environment here is also religious and the teaching that they teach here is similar to the teaching that I grew up with and so going to pray, that's nothing out of the ordinary for them and so they understand. In a five-year period, the number of Muslim students more than doubled from 41 to 91. Most were from Saudi Arabia. We attribute that a lot to our connection with the Saudi embassy here in Washington, D.C. and there has been a conscious effort to develop a good relationship with the embassy. Tannath Fowler-Corsi is Catholic University's assistant vice president for global education. Kenny White, a Catholic, says seeing his friend pray has strengthened his own beliefs. It's inspired me. I mean he's a very faithful Muslim and very devout and that inspires me to be even more devout in my faith. I'm Christopher Cruz.


Hi, everybody. My name is Stephen Heminger. I worked for Microsoft out of Portland, Oregon, and one of the engineers working on Linux as an infrastructure on Azure. Today, I'm going to talk about accelerated networking in Azure, which is something that started out very simple, got horribly complex, and we tried to make it simple again. I also use this as an example of why, as a kernel developer, sometimes user space generally sucks. To give you the simplest view, this is what the Azure Porter looks like. This is the gooey way to create and manage virtual machines and resources, and there's lots more flavors of Linux. So we have like 20 different distros that you can buy at the store. Buy means click, and whether it's Ubuntu and it's free or other ones to charge you, that's all handled. More importantly, there's just one item. We try not to have different flavors for all the different machine types. You choose a machine type and you get a really small one, or you get what we call the Beast VMs with 128 CPUs, and we don't want to have SKUs for every different machine type there. One of the options when you create AVM is right here now something called Accelerated Networking. So you can choose to have accelerated networking or not. If you choose a machine type with eight or more CPUs, and in this case you're in developer mode, you get to choose it. It'll be publicly available soon. So that looks really simple. On the back end, what it does is with a normal without accelerated networking, if you have two VMs and they're talking to each other, they talk, the networking goes through a virtual switch in the host side, goes through a physical switch in a rack and goes to your other VM, which may be on another rack or the other side of the world, and basically all traffic goes through the virtual switches. If you choose Accelerated Networking, what we do is we use SROV and virtual function devices to pass through a virtual PCI device in your VM. So you get a slice of the network. This, why would we do this? It's very simple. When you have accelerated networking, you get much better performance. In this graph, what we did was took data from, the blue is what unaccelerated synthetic path looks like. So with one connection, you're getting about five gigabits a second through, and this is out here with 10K connections. What you see is with the Orange with Accelerated, you get much better performance. You wonder why everything seems to level out here at 25 gig? Because you're in a virtual environment on Azure, there's a host side limit which is programmed into the network card that says, we won't give it any VF more than 25 gigabits. For testing, we can go in the back side, the back door and bump up the cap and just like your ISP can set the values. The reason that's done is just because this is a 40 gig network behind the scenes, and if we're hosting two VMs on something, we don't want one VM to totally saturate the network. But the point is that it's fairly easy to get very close to saturating the network, even with two connections with accelerated networking. Whereas with a synthetic one, it takes away about 16 and the roll-off is much faster. This, by the way, should not be a roll-off at very high number of connections. That's actually probably a firmware issue on the 40 gig card which we're working on. So what does that look like inside Linux? Well, the first version we did, which is done about three or four years ago, predates accelerated networking. So if you do SIRV on Windows Server and you run a Linux VM, this is what you get. You have a synthetic device and a virtual function device presented by the hypervisor. What the hypervisor does is it gives the first packet of any connection and multicast traffic all shows up on the synthetic device. Then once it discovers the flow, it moves the flow over to the virtual function, the accelerated path. So you guys are familiar with OpenVswitch? The default mode in OpenVswitch is until you have the connection handled, it sends the first packet to user space. For the same reason we do this in the hypervisor, we need to validate that this is traffic that matches the rules that have been defined in the hypervisor. So when you create the hypervisor in the virtual network, you say, I want to let port 80 in or not port 80, and all those rules are enforced in the hypervisor. So basically the first packet gets the rules applied by the hypervisor, and then once it knows the flows, it goes through the faster path. In order to make these one connection in the Linux, we use the bonding driver, use active backup mode to push those two streams together and push them up into user space. This has existed for a while, and we supported that, and we actually started using that for the accelerated networking testing on Azure. But the problem simply became, when you look at user space of configuring networking, we have so many different components, and I'm not going to go through every error, that would drive people. But basically we have Cloud, we have configuration information coming down from Azure, we have an agent to configure the server, we have Cloud in it, we have Network Manager or not Network Manager on some distros, and we have each distribution with a different set of up-down strips, and you'd have getting involved. So what we did before was we had a bonding script, and the shell script would go, oh, I know your Red Hat, I know your Red Hat, I should go over here and change these files. By the way, and of course, that kind of work with the developer doing it, would then get totally upset, because Cloud in it on this distro would run, and it would expect ETH0 and ETH0 had to be there, and so I'd have to play games, and then maybe accelerated networking was there, maybe it wasn't.  So after sitting through many meetings, people trying hard and test running, I know it doesn't work on RHEL 6 and all this. Finally, it kept coming down, the people involved on the Azure side was, they kept asking the question, why doesn't it work just like Windows? It just works on Windows. Why doesn't it work on Linux? One can only self-justify yourself for so long. So at some point I said, look, can't we just make it work like Windows? What would that mean? What that would mean is basically, get rid of the bonding driver completely. Just have the synthetic NIC device, have it talk up the stack, and let it manage the VF device completely itself. And I made up a name, because we needed a name to describe this, which was transparent VF mode. So the initial version of this internally had it as a module parameter and everything. And then we gradually got along of like, no, this should just be this way. This should just be how it is. It should just work. So what did that mean? Well, that meant that we needed to implement a few more state transitions during the discovery of a network device. And in the case of Windows Server, the removal. So basically, what happens in Azure is that we start out with just the synthetic network device and then the hypervisor comes along and hot plugs a PCI device. It says basically, I'm giving you a virtual function device and I'm making it appear to be on a PCI bus. Here it is. So the kernel process is that, picks up the driver that he needs to run that device, which in case of Azure is the Melanox device driver, starts that and that network device driver registered. And when that device driver registers, the NetVSC device has a callback from the kernel that says, I want to see new devices getting registered. And when it gets registered, it has to remember that there's a virtual function device associated with that synthetic device. And that's right now done by MAC address. They both show up with the same MAC address. So the yellow ones are the transitions that always existed when we use bonding. The green ones are the new ones we had to add to do transparent VF. So then what it does, it just says, well, I want to take all the packets that the VF ever receives. I want it to be my slave. Well, there's a kernel function to do that. It was there for bridging, it was there for bonding. We didn't have to invent anything. In fact, luckily it was around a long time ago. So all those old distros we can backport to. So then after it picks up that, then it looks at the state of the network synthetic device and says, if that was up, I should now bring up this VF device. So then it goes and does, sets the empty of the VF device and brings it up. And when that comes up, then the VF device responds with, hey, I'm up. And we then have to tell the hypervisor, okay, we know what this VF device is. We've configured it. You can now switch all the received packets over to it. Which we still needed to do these steps and these steps even with bonding. So it's just introducing this in the middle. Now, do you notice there's a gap here? Well, there's a gap just to make you to have happy or to make users of you to have happy, which is if we grab the network device right away and bring it up, you can't rename it. Because the Linux kernel right now will not let you rename a device that's up. So we actually have to put a small 100 millisecond delay between when we discovered the device and when we actually bring it up just to let user space do its little happy dance. So what does it result in? First of all, really simple thing is there's always an ETH zero. Whether you click accelerated networking or not, it's there, cloud init doesn't have to change. You don't have to do 16 patches, the cloud init and everything else. The other one is by putting the delay in, we let all the UDF rules that some distros want. Some distros told run, there's nothing. And the point is sometimes the kernel has to kind of change to help out user space. So this was a great idea, but we still have some things we'd like to do to make it better. And the first one is that delay about waiting to just allow renaming to happen. I want to evaluate and work back in should the kernel allow you to rename devices that are up. It was a restriction that's around for a long time. I think the same thing is true for lots of other things. Even Docker containers may want to be able to rename devices after they brought it up. The other one is if you go back, no, let me, there's basically, let me zip back here. Oops. You still have two layers of queuing disciplines. So when you transmit, you get a queuing discipline here into synthetic device. And then when it goes over the VF path, it goes again through another path for the queuing disciplines. You aren't getting a lot of value out of that. And it's also causing measurable performance decline, not versus pure synthetic 40 gig networking. The other one is right now, the synthetic device has the number of virtual queues that are presented to the operating system is matches the number of CPUs up to 64. So if you have an eight CPU system, we give eight transmit queues up to the layers. The VF device has a richer set of transmit queues because they're in hardware. So typically 128 and you can even place games with data set or bridging where there's different priorities on them. I'd like to pass that through up so that the same presentation is done to the kernel independent of whether it's a VF there or not. And that sort of matches the same thing with offloads. All this height and networking hardware has a lot of offload features on flow matches and tunneling and when it gets fronted by the synthetic device, we get basically the intersection of what's available. So much less functionality. But those are all stage two things which perfectly works fine without it because both the synthetic device and the VF device now have checks on offload, TSO offload, all the common offload things. We're only talking about the more esoteric features. This solution was first done and completed in time to make it into the 4.14 kernel. But just like you've seen earlier, all the distros, all the world runs at a much slower pace. And in fact, when I went back to that button about why I said it's auto developer mode, we're not turning it out of developer mode until we're sure that the distros people are most likely to choose in Azure are ready to work right out of the box. Yes? No, it's actually, yeah, it's there, but it's only in the driver. The driver basically has a delayed work queue that says, oh, I got this event, I know I need to do something later, I'll do this later. That we also, Microsoft worked with Ubuntu to basically, I mean, you have seen the releases, but they basically took a bunch of patches and created it and they have a 4.11, now it's gonna be a 4.13 kernel which they're calling the Linux Azure package. And it's basically a back port of this and a few other things. So that was the first distro that's rolling it out. All the other distros, Red Hat and Slezzer are rolling it out as a bug fix in the kernel. And when those, all those major distributions have it in by the end of the year, it will be publicly available as a checkbox. We also, Microsoft has something called Linux Integration Services, and what this is is a set of driver packages that are taken from upstream and back ported to the enterprise distros. Because the enterprise distros say, no, we won't take new things. And our customers say, I want the highest performance and least buggy version of drivers I can have. So we work hard and test and back port all that. So it's in that as well. The other thing about all this is, oh, the other thing, I wanted to go mention the developer thing. It's not something we magically hide. If you just look for Linux accelerated networking, you'll see the blog post that gives you the, do these things and say the yes op in. It's not something that only Microsoft developers can do. And by the end of the year, it will be available to everyone. And it shouldn't be that hard. And with that, I tried to make this short because I knew I was talking before lunch. Do you have questions? Yes. Is there a way to turn off the transparent VF mode so that I can use, you know, the bypass all of the multiple queuing disciplines? There isn't a way to do it because you don't really get the first packets of a flow in. So even if you had just the VF device raw, you wouldn't actually be able to get to work. You'd have to go do your own team and you're bonding on top of it. So you've mentioned the fact that this will be enabled with a button probably by the end of the year, and you said you're making sure that distros are going to have this feature integrated before that. But the question is, for example, how would you detect if there is someone, maybe some customer is using some kind of esoteric distro and it wouldn't have this capability. How would you detect that? Or do you just circumvent that with... Well, actually, there is a good answer there. If you don't run the bonding script and you don't have this, you basically don't get accelerated networking because what happens is you never get the switch data path message sent from the driver back to the hypervisor saying, yeah, I know it. And I'm guessing because it was way before my time, but I'm sure that they had things like old Windows distributions that there was no way this was ever gonna work. So it's all kind of a handshake. Over here. Why is there a checkbox for accelerated networking? Why would you want to turn it off? That's actually a very good question. And actually the answer is changing. So his question was, why is it just a checkbox? Why is it not always on? Well, it's really because it's a feature that they're not sure everybody wanted to opt into right away. And also it requires that every, the region that you're in support it. So some of the regions, the hardware hasn't been updated so it's not really available yet. So if I say, I'll just use an example. If I say I want to put this in China and the Chinese service haven't been updated yet, it won't show me the box. But the other side is the plan is to make it just always on by default for every VM. And that is as much because the security is higher actually with VF than it is with the non one because you can't DOS the hypervisor as much. You basically end up DOSing the VM and they, you know, we're very sensitive to DOS. So. Two questions from a user perspective. Is this setting something that you can change after the machine has been created? Like... In fact, that's a good question. Can you change this after the VM's created? And the answer is you cannot change it in Azure now. It's part of the properties of the VM when it's created. I suspect that no answer like that ever stays fixed. The plan is eventually to let it be turned on. The other one is if you can get the same effect on Windows Server. And on Windows Server, it shows up as an accelerated network, SRV checkbox on the VM and you can actually turn it on and off live and the VF device shows up and disappears as a hot plug device on the fly. So for testing, actually it's better for me to do it on Windows Server than it is to do it on Azure. And Azure, it's actually implemented slightly differently. The actual VF support is integrated with some hardware FPGA stuff. So the generating of the flow rules and everything is done by the FPGA. So it's done very high performance, much bigger scale than you would see on the regular Windows Server hardware. And the second question related to that is, the second question related to that is, once this become mutable at runtime, who is taking care of reconfiguring and switching from one mode to the other? The Azure agent or? The switching which switching in and out of synthetic mode. Well, actually all that's, the host gives information to the VM that this is what it wants to happen or has happened and the guest is up to the guest to do the right reaction. So all actions are really initiated by the host side. So for example, if the host decides to, if you want to migrate a guest, the VF disappears, the host says, they went away, it's rescinded. And so it switches over to the synthetic path that migrates you and then it gives you a new VF when you migrate to somewhere else. There's other things, scenarios like backup and so on. And suspending VMs where similar kind of things happen. I think you already answered. I mean, is live migration is easy with this transparent VF? It's actually good for that because there's no other way to get a VF pass through and handle live migration. With live migration, the problem is if you give a virtual function device or direct access to hardware to a guest and then you decide to migrate it, there is a period where that doesn't exist or it may exist in a different form where you migrated it to. And because of the way this works, I didn't do the graph similar kind of chart. The host says, this device has disappeared. And we go, oh, okay, unregister shows up and we switch back over to synthetic path and we run slower on the synthetic path during the transition period and then obviously kick back up once it comes up the other side. The VF hot plug device. When it shows up in the VM's PCI bus, is that showing up as a networking device or is it the different? It shows up just as if it was a Melanox card plugged into a hardware slot on the board. Okay. So is there potential for say network manager or some other networking setup feature to pick it up and mess up with it while it's being? Yes and no, yes it could but as soon as we see it registered, we toggle it as a slave device and basically only one person gets to claim it as a slave device. Right. Is there any potential for race in us there? The kernel, there is a potential but the kernel callback runs before the user space callback runs. So we get to win. In fact, I tested this. One of the early things I was testing this was if we're in transparent mode and we ran the old bond script, who would win and what would happen? And what happens is the kernel wins, makes it transparent. The bonding goes, oh well I didn't, I don't see this other device so I can't use it and it makes a one legged bond. Got it. So it still runs, it's just obviously less than optimal. Okay, thanks. Leonard? Just a quick question. You said the first flow, or the first packet for each flow that comes in goes through the synthetic device because the VM needs to execute whatever security rules you have or something like that. So it's actually two questions. First of all, does that also the case for UDP or do you have some sort of state? It's UDP everything. And in fact, like our packets always show up on the synthetic path. Okay, interesting. And then what about the first packet for a transmitted flow out of the VM? You get to basically transmit out of either path and so what we have is as soon as we switched over we always send over the VF path. Gotcha. So now that may change because they're talking about supporting full wildcard matches on the host side. So we don't wanna build any infrastructure that depends on packets from certain flows arriving on certain sides. So if I do an ETH tool now I would see the hardware transmit queues or would I still see the virtual number of transmit queues? Basically what you see is you see two devices. You see the synthetic device and you see the VF device and you can query each one and I put ETH tool stats on the synthetic device thing. These are the number of packets I've sent and received on the VF path versus these are the number I've, the other one is the combined. Gotcha. So should one not do like transmit side steering or anything like that? Yeah. Okay. Look at this before I forget. The only thing I wanted to say is like you did the 100 millisecond weight thing in the kernel and you just did that for the renaming of the interfaces. We don't actually wanna do that in user space, right? Like you can have it and just like name the devices properly in kernel anyway based on some policy setting. Yeah unfortunately it's basically there are PCI devices so people want the PCI names. We actually, the other option we were thinking about doing was naming has two questions. One is do we want to name the synthetic devices with something besides the eth0 whatever device name? And that's the classic question of what's the good choice versus how much do you wanna upset user space tools that already have buried into their brain which I know cloud and it has eth0 buried in its brain. And then the other one is the PCI devices do we want to name them the same as if they were showing up on a real system or do something like we have a UDF rule. But I mean just in general like we have no interest in carrying this stuff in UDF and if you wanna take this to the kernel side the naming of the interface. Like I mean all you need to do is have some knob how we can easily put policy in the kernel to do that because we have all like I said we have all the I know the pairing between the synthetic and the VFs they both know about each other. I mean even completely without any kind of VF or anything. Yeah. I mean if the kernel names everything the right way anyway then we have to do less in user space and there's no reason to play ping pong like that. Yeah that probably makes sense. You may have it. Okay thank you.


Alright, Karibu Sana, this is why in the morning you all come back and this is the last segment of this morning, sure And it's about to be fire right here All you can do is move close to your TV because they're about to entertain you with amazing insights But first things first, do yourself and us. Let's do each other a favor by jumping on to that hashtag Which is why in the morning on all our social media and that includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok You can't find it on our YouTube channel. Instagram is the one to find us on our YouTube channel By the way, I took a verified Naila Blutik. It's from Kwanzaari Tohikuchukulio by the way So it's from my gangsters, my gangsters who are social media, my gangsters who are guns Okay, that's what I meant. I write it on my YouTube channel Personally, you can check me out on the Brian Saquano one. Sometimes I post, sometimes I don't But anyways, if you want to see who's the best dancer or why in the morning, you should visit our YouTube YouTube, our TikTok channel, which is Y254 channel And Natalie is doing an amazing job right there. And I couldn't remember how to record TikToks Tuna Jahu has two left feet, but definitely I'm not the one But anyways, we from there, we have an interesting question We had asked you on all our social media platforms And we'll be sampling your feedback towards the tail end of this show Hey, Manialisa, do you have a question or a liar? Yes or no? Shout out to you. Oh, good. I was about to say Nabiho Squeezy Nabi. I don't know if you know Nabi, but I don't know If you don't know me, you know Nabi. I'm not a genius But Nabiho Squeezy, he's the same. He's the same person He's the one who came up with my name, especially regarding his story The Marlindi Cards, the Pastor Mackenzie Fiasco You know, for me, it's really shocking. Up to now, there's a family of A whole family. Father, mother, son, daughter, kids, including cousins How do you come out alive or not?   I'm a freelancer Basically, I write articles and blogs for companies And I also do dissertations and academic papers for students Either in country or abroad Wow, that's some good money, bro Depends But you have good money Good money coming through right there Yes Right Dissertation has to do with something with research Yes, you have to research the topic widely And come up with the conclusion here Interesting, powerful, yes Okay, personally, I'm a news anchor I'm also a short host at China Film I'm a poet, I do write spoken words I'm also a production manager somewhere This all I'm just referring to me Like I hold many positions You wear many hats But they say you can't be a jack of all trades But it's amazing how you juggling between them Yes, sure Right, and you're still also part of Wai Tufa for family Now you've joined us Yes Temporarily Yes, it's an internal journey, temporality Okay But hopefully we're wishing you all the best You never know how things go So, let's get into it The history of Pastor Mackenzie Mimeli She toured by the way And to a point We were having this conversation with my co-host Rukona Juliza Who came to Mali to charge And KunaZilla every two days And he realized Hey, I'm sorry, I'm quoting scripture It looks true But when you do a little bit of research And self-searching It's something else How can you differentiate between the truth And lies, especially in this religious setup To a point it's an extreme now You see In a church When a man of God Let me use the word man of God When a man of God is preaching To his audience Lazima are referred to the scriptures You have to refer to the scripture Before going further and explaining that scripture But when you just find a man of God Preaching, preaching, preaching Going further and even speaking in tongues Without explaining or rather referring to a scripture That means that he's a false man of God That is not a true prophet Okay So you have to refer to a scripture And explain that scripture further In details Okay What if he's using that scripture To even manipulate you to a point And you say And it shall be given to you But then the context and the angle Which it's being used Of course also in news we take angles Even in history in Mackenzie It will be taken in different angles Some will say it's a count Some will say it's a church Some will say it's a religious organization Also in context of preaching There's an angle Like you say If you don't give Then don't expect it to be blessed But then as a person who is conscious And aware that yes I know I can give But I can't give this The only thing I have How do you create that in people's minds To a point You're not giving everything And then I'm going to go to the church You see in a church Like when you claim that you are a Christian Maybe I'm a Christian You have to know the Bible For you to tell me that you're a Christian For you to tell me that you're a Muslim You have to know the Koran So that you can even explain to me What it says You see in the Bible There are only three people who fasted That is Moses And forget Jesus and Joshua I think Those are the only three people Who fasted in the Bible And when God told them to fast He did not tell them that Go and tell your audience That you need to fast for 40 days and night For you to become a Christian No, he told them that you are the one Who is supposed to fast So at this point The pasta The Mackenzie pasta But come up If indeed he is a true man of God He is the first pekiyaki The way Moses fasted alone Moses said to him We need to fast He did not go to 10 days to Israel That we need to fast for 40 days Because God said No, God told him himself You have to fast We'll come back to that But I'm really scared On that angle Yes Kelly I think it comes down to your idea of self Your self image and your self identity Because the reality is Anyone can quote a scripture Anyone can read the Bible You will find that Artists They know the Bible even more than some Christians So anyone can read to you a verse And tell you what they think about that verse And if you do it with enough confidence You will find that they can convince people Within the crowd about the idea Now what happens is If you have a low idea of self Your self identity is not solid You will find yourself Doing extra Giving extra So self identity is how you see yourself The image that you have of yourself In your mind How you think about yourself Some people think they are deficient They think that they are lacking Or they are not good enough When you think you are not good enough You will want to find something that fulfills you That completes you But it could come from a place of abuse Because most people that feel insufficient May be now family Some are old me I never had a dad Or me I never had a mom So there is usually some energies in you They call them energies I don't know in science Others will say it is spiritual But now if a person is coming from that place Of luck And yet it is affecting their confidence Would you say they have a problem And they should fix it Because now you are saying it is self identity Yes You do have a problem You have a problem But how do you fix this problem A problem of self Most of the time Can only be fixed by you Not anyone else If you have low self esteem Only you can change that narrative within yourself But what happens is You meet a religious leader You are lacking The religious leader are the sharp people This account man is short for confidence man They are confident people They can see the lack in you Account man is a confidence man So they see the lack in you And they tailor their approach To you They take advantage of you Yes And you see many people You see things happening on media You see an accident has happened here This person has gotten caught here Everyone always thinks that it can't happen to them You think that you are the smart one Until it happens to you Now because you think you are smart You think that it can't happen to you But the common man is saying that The religious leader that is Duplicit as he is saying that And they tailor their approach to get you And to manipulate you They just give you what you want They tell you what you want Everybody wants something And if you can appeal to what they want You can get them Just on that note before we proceed What if in this example Somebody is praying for a job They have never gotten a job And we are looking at it From a religious perspective There are families who are like people of struggle Before the first person had to succeed They had to go through so many other channels And this included some spiritual help Or spiritual intervention But then here you are You are coming from such a space And then you meet someone who has such a Spiritual authority and they tell you One, two, three and it works And then later on they top it up with other things And then it piles up and then it ends up as This incident in Malindi How do you break down that? It's called social proof If you see people getting caught in the street I'll get back to you This is the Korn man And then there are people who pretend That they are also playing that game To give you confidence You see that this person is winning So you also think that If they are winning then I can also win You see that this person went to this religious leader And got the job So it gives you social proof It gives you validation Makes you feel safe Because you see it work Now you also want it to work for you Is it a good thing or it's a bad thing? I think that's now another question Is it a good thing or it's a bad thing? It worked for them, yes Yes Waliambi was Jeeva Here is a red Chikaipate do the extreme Don't eat for 7 days and it's working In fact they are getting millions And they are helping In fact they are changing lives now How do you question that? That is true But to see life But you will find that people People are very miserable In those conditions But you won't see that You will see the front they present to the world That's what we are You will not see the other side of it You will not see what they had to do Or what they are doing currently To be where they are You will see that And that will sell you the idea now Social proof You will see that it's working for them You feel close And you feel part of something that is bigger than you That is where people get caught Yes Your reaction? You see when you want to know that this person Or rather this man of God Is not a true man of God This person is not a true man of God He will come and tell you Even though you are poor you don't have anything But he will come and tell you You have to give me this and this So that you can achieve this But what if she As I mentioned I close in the Bible That says give Without the other hand Without the left hand and the right hand knowing And those people that give And it works And those people that don't believe in even giving But even look at international organizations Even the wazungus They believe in giving charity works Now how do you debunk that To a point you are not being conned It's not a crime That is my question You see even if you are told to give And you don't have what will you give out You only have 30 shillings And you need help from this particular man of God Instead of him helping you To achieve more That is not a true man of God So you should be wise Yes a true man of God Even if you are suffering He will come and tell you I know you are suffering But if he tells you I need that touch above you That is not a true man of God I met one person He was claiming that he was a man of God In the streets of Nairobi I can remember I am a man of God And in 2010 your mother was sick of ulcers And I was like yes In 2010 my mother was sick of ulcers You know I don't know But I was sick of ulcers Yesterday you ate a garlic And you know as a lure you have to eat a garlic Is that the purpose? That is nonsense But then the Confucian comes in We don't have awareness If you look at I am really scared of this topic Because it's not my favourite I swear to God it's not When you look at the big religious organization Don't call them churches Especially those that have massive followings You realize if you compare the teachings And those that are not well known There's just something unique about it And then the number of The number of women actually Usually it's women Who go to these churches a lot Is it because there's no information People are desperate for miracles Or quick success Or people come from a place of We are sad And this is the only person who could have given us hope And here they are telling us To slaughter all our chickens Sell all our equipment and wealth And we join this To go to a boarding school or church To attend a story at home As in what is happening in people's minds To a point where you do that You see women, especially women Who are not proficient Who are not proficient Please not all women Like not all women Not all women But more than 50% You need research in the family More than 50% of women Like there is a church I'm not going to mention that name That church You can see a negative side Of that church Is it because the pastor is feared Or the religious leader is feared Or they believe to possess some certain power Seeing that to come on the level of a buyer I can command one, two, three To happen to you No, they just Already that is a miracle And I can tell people It is not a must for you to To be touched and the Holy Spirit And to speak in tongues so that You are in the right place Who is in the church It's not even a must to go to church I don't know why I'm saying who is in the church You see, God is a Bible You can read a Bible from home From the comfort of your soul You can read a Bible there You see, in the church Who is the Jew that you are said It does not happen like that Another question What is the solution now? Because this thing has come at a time when It's a dilemma Yes, the religious organization is highly supported By the current government at hand In this situation here, Paul Mackenzie Is really confusing as well Are we calling it out as This is a cult, this is a religious leader That has killed people Where do we get the wisdom As much as we are calling this issue out But we are not attacking the church We are neutral But then we are not also neutral We are giving solution That we should vet such people That is a cult That is not even a religion We are not supposed to call that a religious leader Because For a human being You cannot tell me that you can fast For seven days That can never happen You can only fast for seven days For only seven days But you telling me that you are going to fast For forty days, forty nights That cannot work Even that Mackenzie faster I know he has not fasted for more than Ten days You know that Let me hear Kelly's reaction He has said that if you want to know A true religious leader You will ask for something But someone that will give you something They will not ask for your 30 bucks Is that true? You know why?  In reality You can do your best But you really can't prevent it In a way Not just in religion In the years of life Even in personal relationships People get cornered Being cornered is such a broader word But What you can do First you need to have a good sense of self You mentioned this self a lot You mentioned it a lot How can people have a sense of self? That is awareness That's awareness What's awareness? Awareness is really your thoughts You see the funny thing is What you think is what will always happen to you That's just life For example All the time or just once Let me give you an example Let me give the viewers an example If you are a fanatic of cars If you love cars Do you notice that When you think about a particular car You are thinking about a Volkswagen Golf Do you know that when you are in that Matatu Going to town Yes Yes Whatever you see in the world Is what you hold within you You see what you are You don't see things as they are Because they get into your mind And they make you see What they want you to see Not what is That's where the manipulation comes in now So how to prevent this Is first of all being grounded in yourself You have to be grounded in yourself And as long as You rely on objects for happiness You rely on Other people's validation for happiness You rely on being part Of something bigger than yourself To feel gratified You become prey in that situation I'm not bigger than yourself Does the Samsung Bible not say Depend on God But anyways my dilemma is The people who say I know the universe Has the best for me Is the universe And there's people who believe in affirmation And chanting Where you wake up and say I'm amazing, I'm powerful I love money, I attract money I have a relationship with good things And you stay in that vibration Of good words How do you cultivate that In people's minds and people's lives To people that have been blinded By very sad and dark reality Yes, we are all victims Of circumstances Their formations don't really work They don't work Let me say this, not the way you think they do If you're just waking up and you're looking at yourself In the mirror and you're uttering words That doesn't work, but if you hold it Within your mind, if you believe it From the very fiber of your being It will work I don't know if that makes sense Let me put it this way, if you want something And you inside yourself You don't think you can get it Even though you're saying that you want it If you doubt yourself Your words will bring forth That doubt and that is the experience That you will have in very many instances So if you go into an interview And you think you'll get the job because you don't have connections You won't get the job because Even though you carry yourself You think you're carrying yourself confidently But you're bringing off that vibe The other person can tell But they don't know how to explain it also They don't know what's happening I think I should be a body language expert Very soon Like being able to read people There's bosses who say If you step into this office, I knew you'll get this job Because your confidence Your posture, even your explanations Show confidence Body language, by the way, is very important You need to know how to read people The body never lies They can try to lie but it never lies When someone wants something from you If you are keen enough They will present themselves When something is off Yes, they are aware that people will present themselves I'd like you guys to give your personal Accounts of these religious extremes And how did the story go Maybe I can start with you John Like which one Maybe you could also have heard it Or maybe somebody close to you Or went through it How sad or crazy, interesting Or was it Personally, I've experienced one Is one that My brother Early experienced In a certain church in Nigeria I'm not going to I'll always not mention the church But there is This pastor When he's with his followers And he tells them That when you want to succeed In life You have first to get off your clothes And get bathed And then wash And funny enough He was washing the ladies The whole body In front of the church The whole body I love when it reaches When a man washes That was how crazy it was Which year was this This event happening Like five years ago That was how it was happening Until my brother left that church Because it was going crazy So My first question is How did your brother connect To this kind of mad situation How did he connect To this madness, to a point What was this person offering Okay, he was not offering something But it was through I don't know, it was connections He had a girlfriend And the girlfriend took him to that church And the girlfriend said You know, I was having Skin issues And I went to that church And right now I'm getting healed And my brother When he realized that And she's getting healed So the girlfriend took witness According to him But when he reached there He witnessed the whole thing Happening Were there any offs Because that was already off That's not even Godly That's evil Being undressed and being washed So that you get what?  Shocking I'll come to you but What is the difference between a gang And a clear A clean man of God Let me use those words What's your interesting story On the same? First of all let me start with one that is very rampant Among the religious Institutions in Kenya You find that within churches And these religious places There is a sort of Community being built around it Whereby if you stop going to this church And start going to another church But the same Yes we are blacklisted by these church members The pastor tells them not to associate themselves with you Because you no longer go to this church That is something that is very rampant Across very many churches Is that not cultic now? No it's in every church This is in every church If I stop going to my church They'll blacklist me from going to another church Ask any person that goes to church And is within those circles So I've seen that happening severely And that's why I don't really I don't really see why I should go to church You don't go to church I saw these things And I was like I don't see I don't see any benefit to me But I've also seen a worse situation Where a lady was convinced By the pastor to Buy land And you know what happens is The pastor is a confidant So you tell the pastor everything So once the pastor realized that She wants to buy a piece of land The pastor convinced her to put the land Under his name And she did it All interventions of the family When the family tried to intervene The pastor started saying that Oh no your family they want to be with you This person wants to be with you This person does not want this Good thing for you So now the family became like the lady's enemy Stumbling block She ended up buying the land Putting it under the pastor's name And what happened Suddenly she passed on Eventually She got the sense She got the sense that she was being played And when she tried to get out of that The pastor told her that your days are limited And Yeah she died She died soon after that That was it And the land was in the pastor's name And what is the family saying? What can you do? When you try to get someone and they see you What is the court here? What is the rule of law? What is the constitution? How can you prove that in court? It's very difficult to prove that in court And you know the justice system in the country Is very slow And it also costs you money to get justice So in the end she is gone There's nothing much that you can really do But it was really a sad case And you can see How extreme this thing can go It can The case in the coast Is just an extreme But the same problem Manifests itself in smaller ways These small ways Whereby a pastor wants to tell you Don't marry this person You know?  All this conversation is scary I can only imagine They're called gatekeepers You know these gatekeepers You keep tabs on all outlets They talk about religious content So I'm trying my best I want to be a victim Because I've been a victim before They say once, beaten twice So I'm limiting myself How do you tell the difference Between a clear person and a fishy Let me give this an example The reason I Also stopped going to church Is because there was a certain church That I was going in Oshago The Sunday Next Sunday, last Sunday Zoti, I keep preaching It's all about money I don't want coins I don't want coins In church I don't want coins attacking And funny enough What do we call it I'm just forgetting its name I don't know So that everyone knows So there's a certain When you don't give When you don't give enough money So what will happen next? What will happen next I don't want to go to church Because I've been repeating This time and time That I don't need coins in my church No I don't want to go to church Because the only ones They know it That was what was happening there There's a point you mentioned That What do we call it Like your brother's situation In Nigeria Is it What's happening On the ground I don't want to go to church But I don't want to Do you think God's time is the best How do we do that Prophet's1gapi Come to Mongwamin sema It will definitely happen next year That's the scripture I'm not the one saying But I'm also trying to Get the image of what you are saying Mongwamin sema And most of the people You would agree, Robin Most of the people come to and then somebody came and said, mungo ameni ambir, ninge ko e matatu, nihombe, blah, blah, blah, blah, it happens. And after that, I'm gonna collect one, two, three. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. And I can't know who is genuine and who is not. But then, mungo amemi sema, you know. How do we get a space and have this overview of God at least sema? I think that's where we are stuck. Because a lot of people get caught through mungo ameni ambir, mungo amemi sema. Mungo amemi sema okuje, kamomeva black and white. And last night, mungo liniu nyesha, okuje kamomeva red and yellow. And then open it, 10,000. Now back you, who are the next month. So how do you debunk this mungo amemi sema? I think, first of all, a big red flag is mungo amemi sema and then something specific to you. Mungo amemi sema that you should not do this. You should not be with this one. You should do this instead. That is a big red flag. Because really if God wanted to influence you in that way, God would influence you if he believed in God personally.  How? That's a big red flag.  This lady is not right for you. God has told me to tell you that leave this one. There's another church member here, a member in the religious organization here that this one is good for you.  If God said this about the situation you are in, then that is acceptable. Let's say you've lost your job and then they quote a scripture telling you about hope. I really don't know the scriptures, but I'm sure there's the passages about hope, about repentance and that kind of a thing. That is okay. But God is telling you something specific through the pastor. I really don't think so. Another thing, you are paying money to be prayed for. You are paying money for another human being to put their hands on you, believing that they have a sort of a direct connection with the most high-heel. They have this magical power in that accent. God bless you. Really?  That's a fallacy. No, and if they really have that direct connection, then their life would be so awesome in a way that you can't even imagine. But for some people it's working. It's working. I remember my co-host, Retia Valalisa, she had a friend of mine who I want to go through that. When I leave her and it goes and it works. Can I comment on that? Please do. There is a scientific experiment known as a placebo whereby they take subjects, let's say we are all sick and they give us tablets. But you find that one of us will be given a tablet that is not really medicine. But at the end of the test, you'll find that even you that took the tablet that is not medicine, you are healed. Why? Because you believed you were healed. So it can work because you believed that it will work and so it works. So it's not a belief system? It's a belief system. It can also work that way. You can go look it up online, a placebo. You can check it out. I think I know of a placebo. Now to you bro, do you feel like people are so hopeless? People are blinded by problems and we live in a bubble and we need to exit that bubble. But now who is going to give us the information that we need? But as I said, it's self, a sense of self. That means awareness. How many people are not aware of the reality of life? Like they just, I'm just scared. Oh, come on, come on, two, two, two, two. Boom, one, two, three, this shall happen. Here you are in a crisis. How easy is it? You see, like literally right now in Angalia, the cost of living is literally high. Now, in Angalia, this cost of living is high. And if you go, at least, you'll get some money. And the only way to get that money is through the profit. And then I say, I'm going through this. I want money. Profit and I say, OK, you want money? Give me this. Then you get what you want. And I think as a government right now, as a journalist, we go to school. That is communication, we read communication. As a pastor, you also have to go to school. Theology. You study theology. That's how it should happen. See, Konmantonam cannot say, I want to open a church. Then it goes up and opens a church. That's why I'm a pastor. There are people who are not aware of the reality of life. You have to go and study theology first before coming up and opening that church. Right. Brown, do you think people are so hopeless and in need for quick help and they're blinded by pain or just disaster? I think life can put you in a tough spot. If you're poor and you don't know where your next meal will come from, that is when people can sell you dreams and you'll believe the dreams. You really believe that if I put this 20 bob here, I can win 100 million. A rich man will never think like that. That's the reality of things. So what happens is really there's nothing much that the government can do. Regulating is a good idea, but really even the ones that have gone to theology school is not that they're any better than the guy who just woke up and decided, I want to open a church. Probably that guy is the honest one. Maybe that guy was a thief. The guy became saved. Once you see death, you can become saved. Maybe that's the genuine one. Well, the one who went to the school, he is seeing it like a business. Now on that point, the largest religious organizations are also the richest. And where is that? Where is this money coming from? And you know, we have this theory whereby it is tax-free. I don't know if it's true, but I get the feeling that it is true. It's tax-free. Donations and funding. It's tax-free. So really, if you look at this thing objectively, you'll realize that religion is a big industry. It is a money maker. And anything that has big money like that, you can't just come and infiltrate it and try to make reforms. It won't work. You cannot regulate churches in Kenya. It will be very difficult. No one will agree. The congregants will not agree to it. The pastors will not even look at you. They won't agree at all. It can't work like that. We have like six minutes before we exit. What is the difference between a Christian, Christianity, and religious religion? Because I believe those are two big different entities. A person who is a Christian and a person who is not even a person, as entities individually, a Christian and Christianity and religion. True. What is the difference now? And which side are we on? And what are we even talking about? I don't know why we're measuring on Christianity. There are so many religions. Religion, Buddhism, the rest. Christianity and religion or Hinduism and religion or any other of these religions and religions. These are just denominations. It's a big tree. These are just leaves on the tree. The branches. Now the problem is that many people think that being religious is showing up on Sunday in a nicely pressed suit.  Being a Christian. Many people think that to be a good Christian you have to show up. You have to be pious, having to look so humble. You have to give because when you give you receive you have to do these things. But you see that's not human nature. At the end of the day humans are just animals. We are smart animals but we are animals. What does that mean? That what drives us is self-interest. If you try to suppress your self-interest, your dark side, there's a philosopher called Kalyang. He talks about the shadow and the dark side. There's that part of you that is really dark. If you try to suppress it, it will find a way to come back in uglier ways. That's where you find someone is trying to become so holy. A book pause for a minute. Are you talking about another version of that Bible in the verse that says they cast out demons out of this body. But then when the demons went, it was like a crud, like a zinni. Is that another version of that? Yes. If you try to suppress yourself to become in a straight line that you should only do this, you can't do this and that.  Let me give you a quick example. If you try to quit doing something, let's say you smoke. An addiction. If you try to quit smoking and then now you're counting days. I've not smoked today. Kesha won't smoke. You smoke, you relax. The only way to quit is to stop thinking about it. Let's use porn because a lot of people watch porn. The only way to quit anything is to stop fighting it. Once you start fighting it, you really can't win against yourself. You really can't win. You're fighting what you are. Kalyang said that for a man to change, the only way a man can change is to first accept himself as he is. That's the only way you can change.  If we find you doing this, you're dead.  How do you thrive as a human? Because I can only imagine the battles happening in your mind and in your spirit and your body. You see, every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. That person that is trying to put you down because you're a sinner, you don't know them.   That's in them. That's how it is. We hate to see in other people what we don't like about ourselves.  You guys get those lessons. Are we exiting? I want to sample feedback in 30 seconds. Go ahead. For me, religious and Christianity. For you to be a Christian, there is only one thing that you need to do. Set your mentality. In that, you just believe that God exists. That is enough. When you just say or when you just, you know, create your mentality that God exists, that is enough for you to be called a Christian. That is all. Before we exit, Kamau Musenangu says, Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

And then I can say Manabio Kwanzaa, who I doubt N'ayeni M'akensi, Etiwashi Rikawa, Sinyue Wasiile, he can Yantahamani in the Kiambu. Eh, he seems like Kiambundokuna, soft life. And then the last one, and it will appear, Afin. And I say, good morning. Why 244? Mayani called Locked Insana. And the rest, including Andenis, Kei, Lewis, Kei, and Waweru, are keyboard.

Hey guys She bear 1,000 here Today I'm gonna do a little vlogging okay guys, so This vlog I guess I'm just trying out this camera that I had all apart I think I've got a picture of it. Yeah, I do and I'll put it in right now and What happened was the? the USB port in the back it looks something like I don't know if you can see It's the little one Looks something like that. I don't know if you can see that but It's where you plug your USB cable into now What happened was you know, it's been loose since I mean since right after we got started getting loose finally It just broke off so I took a camera all apart tried to I got a new soldering gun with a real fine tip and some solder You can't get in there guys.  So what I did was I took a an end like this here.  I didn't solder the media wires It's just they're too small in there to find out where they go. I don't have a magnifying glass all I got You know, there's my glasses and So my main concern I'm not worried about the media because it's got a memory card in it so I figured I'd transfer my media that way. I just needed to needed it to charge so I ran that wire up in there the The USB cable and I soldered it to the two top posts the positive and negative posts of Where the battery the post the prongs that come down through up on top I soldered them to that and it's charging everything works except for the screen broke to at that time Now it still opens and closes, but I can't flip it around. So I don't know if I'm in frame or not And the mic the mic never did work. We've always had to use an external mic and The mic that I had wasn't any good either So I couldn't I couldn't put a mic in while I had it apart that could be later on if I find a junk camera or something I don't know but it's fine to use with an external mic But everything works and I'll show you right now what I had to do to this thing Okay, guys, this is what I had to do to this thing Iran this that's where the old USB was for to plug in your USB cable Look like that, and I plugged in there. Well, since that piece was broke off. I left it out, and I Sorry, and I shoved this up in there And I just put a little glue around there to keep it from pulling out and it's also got a knot on the other end And then I ran it up in Up in the top of here. See the battery goes underneath so up in the top of here There's two prongs of there actually one on each side of that and So I soldered wires up in there to get my So I could be able to charge it see I'm charging it right now It's already at a full charge. It always did charge pretty quick everything works The light still works on it everything works except for transfer and media files and oops and the and the The screen, you know, it'll open and close But it will not swivel anymore. You can't flip it around so and We've always had to use an external mic with this So that's that's really not a not a big issue. This cord is kind of long But I'll be able to you know, tie that up make it look nice, but right now. I'm just I'm just checking it out and see and Making sure it's going to work so at least At least we got it working That door was already open by the way. So at least I got it working. I didn't film it That's just kind of when you get inside there and you're dealing with plastic And you're dealing with little tiny screws that you can't hardly see You know, I just thought it'd be best just to go ahead and try to fix it and but because it's not something that I can do a how-to on because That's really technical. That's you know, if you don't know how to solder and all that. It's just it's a pain I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't advise somebody to go ahead and try that unless they've had them apart before which I have but So there you go. There's my short little vlog on Checking the camera out. So I appreciate you guys watching. Thanks a lot and I hope you all have a good weekend Shea bearer the myth man legend. I'm gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care


Welcome to Affector from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is the audio edition of EFF's email newsletter geared towards keeping you on the bleeding edge of your digital rights. This is Affector, Volume 35, Issue 12, titled, Freeing the Law with Public Resource. This issue was published in September 2023, and I'm your host, Membership Advocate Christian Romero. Let's start with our top feature. Victory – EFF frees the law. Technical standards like fire and electrical codes develop by private organizations but incorporated into public law can be freely disseminated without any liability for copyright infringement, a federal appeals court ruled. The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upholds the idea that our law belongs to all of us, and we should be able to find, read, and share them free of registration requirements, fees, and other roadblocks. It's a long-awaited victory for public.resource.org, a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by Open Records Advocate Karl Malamud of Helzburg, California, and represented in this case by EFF with co-counsel Fenwick and West and David Halperin. Now let's go through some EFF updates. First up, EFF urges appeals court to rehear case over Trump's ex-account. A federal appeals court undermined more than a century of First Amendment law by upholding a gag order that kept ex, formerly known as Twitter, from discussing the government's demand for Donald Trump's account data, EFF argued in a brief urging a rehearing. Next up, EFF to Michigan court. Government shouldn't be allowed to use a drone to spy on you without a warrant. Should the government have to get a warrant before using a drone to spy on your home and backyard? We think so. And in an amicus brief filed last Friday in Long Lake Township v. Maxon, we urged the Michigan Supreme Court to find that warrantless drone surveillance of a home is unconstitutional. We argue that the township's conduct was governed by and violated the Fourth Amendment and the equivalent section of the Michigan Constitution. EFF welcomes Erica Estrella and Yoshi Kono to its board of directors. EFF is honored to announce today that Erica Estrella, head of technology at Parkwood Entertainment and a leading voice for diversity and equity in tech, and University of Washington Computer Science and Engineering Professor Tade Yoshi Yoshi Kono, a renowned security researcher and scholar, have joined EFF's board of directors. Here's our last EFF update. New Privacy Badger prevents Google from mangling more of your links and invading your privacy. We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight link tracking across a number of Google products. With this update, Privacy Badger removes tracking links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Image results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking links added after scrolling through Google search results. Now let's go through some announcements. First up, we want you, U.S. federal employees, to stand for digital freedoms. It's that time of year again. U.S. federal employees and retirees can support the digital freedom movement through the Combined Federal Campaign, the largest and most successful annual charity campaign for U.S. government employees and retirees. Last year, 175 members of the Combined Federal Campaign community raised over $34,000 for EFF's lawyers, activists, and technologists fighting for digital freedoms online. But in a year with many threats popping up to our rights online, we need your support now more than ever. Next up, California Constitutional Privacy at 50, the power of state law and promoting racial justice in the digital age. EFF's Lee Tien will speak on a panel about California constitutional privacy, and Cindy Cohen will moderate a panel on fighting the public-private surveillance partnership at the Berkeley Technology Law Journal's fourth annual Technology and Racial Justice Symposium on Friday, October 27th at the Bancroft Hotel in Berkeley. The symposium hosted with the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, Coalition of Minorities in Technology Law, Privacy Law at Berkeley, and Felton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice, will bring together leading academics and practitioners to explore the landscape of California's constitutional right to privacy at age 50, highlight how the right is currently used to promote racial justice and other social progress, and discuss new creative and intersectional uses of state constitutional rights to privacy to defend and promote justice in the digital age. Next up, TOR University Challenge. EFF has launched the TOR University Challenge, a campaign urging higher education institutions to support free, anonymous speech by running a TOR network relay. Universities answering this call to defend private access to an uncensored web will receive prizes while helping millions of people around the world and providing students and faculty a vital learning experience. Tell your alma mater to join the network today. Next up, New Watcher's T-Shirt. Don't miss out on our new member T-Shirt for 2023. Donate at the copper level or above to receive our new Watcher's T-Shirt. And now we can go through a few job openings. First up, Media Relations Specialist. EFF is hiring a Media Relations Specialist to work closely with the Media Relations Director to ensure that EFF's communications with news gatherings of all kinds is prompt, effective, and proactive. The Media Relations Specialist sometimes also writes and edits press releases and blog posts and helps everyone at EFF uncover press-friendly ways to communicate our work. Next up, Legislative Analyst. EFF is hiring a Legislative Analyst to help EFF oppose and or develop and support legislation affecting technology, innovation, and civil liberties by advising EFF on legislative strategy with policymakers at local, state, and federal level, maintaining relationships with key legislative offices by developing a bridge between EFF expertise and policymakers, building and working with coalitions, engaging with media, testifying on legislative panels on behalf of the organization to influence policy, drafting comments for agency rule makings, drafting and or commenting on legislative text, and drafting blog posts or other public-facing communications. You can learn more about each of these jobs by going to eff.org slash about slash opportunities. Now, let's go through some mini-links. This first one comes from ABC News slash Good Morning America. The Risks of Stalkerware. EFF's Eva Galperin helps Good Morning America's Becky Worley explore the risks of electronic surveillance applications which some parents use to monitor kids but others have used for malicious purposes. This next one comes from The Daily Beast.  Under the guise of security concerns, Arkansas's Governor, Sarah Sanders, made a brash attempt to gut her state's public records law. And then an unexpectedly beautiful thing happened. EFF's barrel lipped in rights. Members of the public on the political left and right, in the media and in labor, and from all walks of life, united to assert their right to know. The bill that finally passed is still bad for transparency. It severely restricts materials on who travels with the Governor, how much it costs, and the activities of the Arkansas State Police. But it doesn't ravage citizens' rights as badly as the first version would have. That's thanks to the power of the people. Next up from The Washington Post. Fifth Circuit finds Biden White House, CDC, likely violated First Amendment. EFF filed a brief in July arguing that government input into social media platforms' decisions about user content raises serious First Amendment concerns, and the government must be held accountable for violations. But not all such communications are improper. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed and rolled back much of a trial court's injunction, an outcome EFF's David Green called a thousand times better. And lastly from the record, California enacts first-of-its-kind bill targeting data brokers. California lawmakers enacted unprecedented legislation allowing state residents to compel data brokers to delete their personal information with the push of a button. EFF was a proud supporter of the DELETE Act, and EFF's Haley Tukeyama said advocates hope other states looking to address data broker issues consider the DELETE Act as a template. And we've made it to the end. Thanks for listening.
