French botanist and explorer Jeanne Barret was born #OTD in 1740.

She is best known for being the first woman to circumnavigate the globe with Bougainville's expedition on the Boudeuse and Étoile from 1766 to 1769. Disguised as a man, under the name Jean Barret, she enlisted as a valet and assistant to the expedition's naturalist, Philibert Commerson, shortly before the expedition's ships weighed anchor. According to Bougainville, she was an expert in botany.

Jeanne Barre
Unkwown - 18th century print. Originally found in Navigazioni di Cook del grande oceano e intorno al globo, Vol. 2 (1816) d'après Cristoforo Dall'Acqua (1734-1787).

Allegorical portrait of Jeanne Baret dressed as a sailor, dating from 1817, after her death.

The central figure of the portrait is Jeanne Baret, a French woman known for disguising herself as a man to participate in Louis Antoine de Bougainville's expedition around the world, making her the first woman to circumnavigate the globe.

Baret is depicted dressed as a sailor, wearing traditional seafaring clothing of the 18th century. This includes a loose-fitting shirt, trousers, and a sailor's hat, which symbolize her disguise and adventurous spirit.

Proxmox vs FreeBSD: Which Virtualization Host Performs Better?

Since migrating many servers from Proxmox to FreeBSD, we have consistently felt that the VMs are more responsive. It's time to conduct some concrete tests.

This is interesting. Thanks.

The file creation speed is very significant - going from 407 MB/s on proxmox to 1467 MB/s on freebsd.

Do you know why there is such a large difference?

Stefano Marinelli 5 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@moozer Considering that the Proxmox host on ZFS goes at 968.64 MB/s and FreeBSD host on ZFS flies at 1625.67 MB/s, I'd dare to say that ZFS seems to be much more optimized on FreeBSD than on the Proxmox PVE Kernel.

@moozer

cuddle 5 months ago • mastodon (AP)

ZFS on Linux still not mature yet, and FreeBSD support ZFS out of the box, to the kernel level.

If ZFS had close integration with the Linux kernel, it would have much or less similar I/O performance, both are POSIX complaint systems after all.

Paul Wilde :dontpanic2: :smeghead: 5 months ago • unkn (AP)

Thanks,

I've recently moved some of my VMs from KVM to bhyve and have noticed a significant performance improvement.
Most noticeably with Nextcloud (Debian guest) where it feels really quick and snappy now where it felt clunky before. I guess this may be due to improved IO performance similar to what you have tested.

vermaden reshared this.

Stefano Marinelli 5 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@paul Exactly the reason why I decided to perform those tests. Moving VMs to bhyve led people to think I've upgraded the hardware as they're "quicker". Glad to know you're having the same experience!

@paul

Paul Wilde :dontpanic2: :smeghead: 5 months ago • unkn (AP)

to be fair it's probably ZFS doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, but @stefano 's testing has shown that even on ZFS on proxmox (KVM) the performance still isn't quite as good as ZFS on FreeBSD (bhyve) - which is likely due to the ZFS modules in FreeBSD being native over additional kernel modules in proxmox (or any other Linux distro that can use it)

bhyve is definitely worth looking into if you use VMs though, for sure!

@paul @ben I don’t know, I could equally imagine the Qemu I/O paths not being ideal. Qemu is a beast of a code base, which even after years of effort hasn’t managed to get close to eliminating the big Qemu lock (BQL) for example; bhyve is tiny in comparison.

Rule of thumb: if ZFS consistently beats ext4 in a basic filesystem benchmark on Linux, there's either something wrong with your setup or your benchmark is flawed.

I'd switch from sysbench to fio for I/O related tests.

The results are interesting - I wouldnt have expected such a wide margin in some of the results.

That said, Ive never used Proxmox and it has been a while since I’ve used KVM at all (and at the time I was using Fedora/Centos on XFS - ext4 has eaten enough data for me to never ever want to use it again)

Wieso wird über #KamalaHarris eigentlich meist von einer Frau mit afroamerikanischen Wurzeln gesprochen???

Aus wiki:
"Kamala Harris wurde 1964 in Oakland geboren. Sie ist die Tochter von Shyamala Gopalan (1938–2009), einer tamilischen Brustkrebsforscherin, die 1960 aus dem indischen Madras in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte. Ihr Vater ist Donald J. Harris (* 1938), ein aus Jamaika stammender Wirtschaftswissenschaftler."

Canada is proposing to lead on climate – but it’s doubling down on oil

Despite climate-friendly plans, the government’s controversial decision to take over the pipeline made it one of world’s biggest promoters of fossil fuel projects

The [#Transmountain] #pipeline itself has become emblematic of a Canadian contradiction: promises of strong climate action, coupled with billions in #FossilFuel investments – and, critics say, massive government #subsidies to the oil industry at a moment when the planet needs to move away from fossil fuels.” (2/2)

#FossilFuel #pipeline #Subsidies #transmountain

Auscandoc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

“Critics ask how pumping more oil is consistent with Canada’s promise to reduce emissions and avert a looming global catastrophe. Its goal to cut emissions by at least 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 is not on pace, as confirmed by a recent report from the government’s own environment commissioner.”

Auscandoc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

“Trans Mountain is not the only culprit. Canada still pays billions in subsidies to the oil industry…the government contributed C$275m for another LNG project in British Columbia, a vast export terminal heralded by Trudeau as “the single largest private-sector investment project in Canadian history”. And in 2022, his government approved Bay du Nord, which though currently delayed would extract up to 73m barrels of oil every year off the coast of Newfoundland.”

Auscandoc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

“Most of Canada’s oil exports are from Alberta, and while marketed as “ethical oil” ..the sprawling “oil sands” operations are among the planet’s most emissions-intensive, dirtiest and expensive ways of producing oil.

In order to get the province on board with his nationwide climate plan, Trudeau made what Harrison calls the “ugly deal” of approving the Trans Mountain pipeline in exchange for Alberta putting a price on carbon emissions”

Auscandoc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

“Despite the multibillion-dollar purchase, however, Alberta has remained the country’s chief climate policy antagonist, fighting any attempt the government has made to rein in the oil and gas industry.”

Auscandoc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

“In December, the federal government finally announced its plans to cap emissions for the oil and gas sector – a long-delayed policy that climate groups say is critical if Canada is to reach its climate targets…

Alberta’s premier, Danielle Smith, immediately swore to fight it. “There’s no question that if the [federal government] continues on this path, it will end up in court “

“In that context, the #TransMountain pipeline’s immense cost overruns feed into broader questions about the future of Canada’s oil industry.

Economists have already predicted that the Trans Mountain pipeline will soon be clogged with producers rushing to get their product to market. With no new megaprojects on the horizon, the growth trajectory of Canada’s oil output will slow by early 2026 as the appeal of Canadian oil – which has long traded at a discount on the global markets – fades

“does not sit well with some members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, a community directly across from the tanker farm that has emerged as some of the [#TransMountain] pipeline’s fiercest critics.

“They say it’s a ‘reconciliation deal’ to sell #FirstNations people the pipeline, so that we can share in the revenues,” said Reuben George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. “But it’s a debt-ridden stranded asset. It would be economic smallpox to Indigenous peoples.” (9/11)

“The nation’s analysis also concluded the environmental risks of an increase in tanker traffic or an oil spill were too high, and would have “absolutely cataclysmic” consequences for marine life. “We’ve spent decades trying to be stewards of this land and these waters,” George said. “My son told me the other day: we won’t be the generation that stops trying to fight for this place.”

“For Colgan of the #ClimateSolutions Lab, the government’s decision to invest billions in a piece of infrastructure, in an industry that is among the least globally competitive because of its high extraction costs, makes as little sense today as it did then.

“It seems very unlikely Canada can continue to increase its #OilAndGas output and also make its #ParisCommitments. I just don’t think those two are compatible.” (11/11)

The modern Olympics started in 1896, founded by Pierre de Coubertin, a French aristocrat. He had conflicting motives. On one hand, his idea for a global sports competition stemmed from anxieties about French masculinity following a war defeat. He saw sports as a way to masculinize French men.

The outpouring of support and excitement for Harris has been incredible. Soon the honeymoon will be over and it's going to get rough. So let's be ready for that.

But importantly I think the last week was an excellent lesson in narrative setting. For the first time in a long time, we set the stories, and the GOP was left playing defense.

We have always had that power. And the power resides in liberal citizens, not the Democratic party or the MSM. For once we stopped outrage posting about whatever narrative the GOP chose for the week, and set our own story.

Push back on misinformation where it matters. But it's also important to ignore the outrage farming and stop elevating the nonsense they throw out to distract us and keep us off balance.
