Information security plays a central role in current business ecosystems and is a strategic topic for the continuity and development of any organization.
Trust has become a new development pattern in which Information Security is essential for sustaining the future economy. Security and Privacy, combined with Risk management and Compliance, are constitutive elements of the so-called pillar of Trust. According to IDC, by 2025, of the Fortune 100, 40% will require trust scores to do business with others.
The need for objective metrics and structured practices puts pressure on organizations top management. There is still a long path in terms of Information Security :
- Every 11 seconds, an organization fell victim to a ransomware attack in 2021
- DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks increased by 180% from 2018 to 2019
- 95% of companies report that there is a gap between a cybersecurity-oriented culture and the current culture
In this context, a shift in information security approach is highly needed to cope with this challenge. What should be Organizations’ directions in this critical domain?
The paradigm shift from information security to a vision of cyber-sustainability calls for a more integrative approach.
Companies should look at Information Security in a more systematic way not only within their organization, but also outside their boundaries with their Customers, Suppliers and Critical Business Partners information flows .
On one hand, organizations must apply good practices and references, such as ISO 27001, systematize risk oriented processes and implement a path of continuous improvement.
On the other hand, they should approach this domain through a collaborative positioning, analyzing not only information flows across the organization, but also in their ecosystem, an integrated way, reinforcing controls in line with their Customers and Partners.
These two vectors will be strategic for the future of Trust in business: (1) ISO 27001 standard implementation as a reference in this domain and (2) A collaborative approach application of ISO 27001, towards a culture of security across business ecosystems, working closely with Customers and Partners.
At SHIFT, reflecting our commitment to Information Security, we have concluded the ISO 27001 certification process at the end of 2021.
Following the principles of collaborative frameworks, we develop relationships with strong ties, focusing on our Customers, with a partnership perspective. In the Information Security area, we extend these practices working together with Customers, towards a context of trust for the business development.

In a team of 4 | January 2020 | 3 weeks
Create a data physicalization installation aiming to inform and provoke about a subject of your choice. This project took place during my Erasmus in the University of Malmö, Sweden
My group decided to communicate how climate change would impact the city with regards to the rising sea level, which is expected to rise by up to 2 meters over the next 80 years.
Our installation was a wood laser-cut and 3D-printed model of Malmö harbour, on which we projected the sea level as its expected level depending on the year. A timeline slider allowed the user to navigate through future years to visualize flooding over different areas of the map. The installation also featured a sound dimension through water sounds that increased as the sea level rose.
"It is clear to me that this project was mainly possible thanks to your skills with mapping and programming."
David Cuartielles, Arduino co-founder and supervisor of the project
I took care of the slider using Arduino and an ultrasound sensor, as well as all the mapping. I used After Effects and different sources of data to create a video of the water rising between 2020 and 2100, and connected Arduino to Processing to allow the user to explore the video with the timeline slider.

The new internet infrastructure being installed by Openreach in Lyde Green is Ultrafast Fibre broadband known as FTTP (Fibre to the Premises), with speeds of around 300Mbps.
FTTP provides a fibre optic connection all the way from the telephone exchange to your premises, whereas traditional Fibre Broadband or FTTC (Fibre-to-the-Cabinet) is a Fibre connection to your local on-street cabinet, then a Copper connection from the cabinet to your premises.
How it works
The ultrafast optical fibre cabling which has been installed under the street connects to a Termination point (TP) in your home.
The TP is connected with an optical fibre cable to your Optical Network Terminal (ONT), also called the modem.
The ONT or modem is connected to your router via an LAN/ethernet cable. The translates light signals from the fibre optic line from your TP into electronic signals that your router can read.
Your router (e.g. your BT Home Hub) reads the signals and connects your devices (laptops/phones/tablets) to the internet via Wifi.
Openreach, also known as BT Openreach, are the company responsible for installing, updating and checking the infrastructure for the fibre broadband. This includes the cabling in the street, the TP, and the ONT/modem.
Openreach is a BT group business, which is why it is sometimes called "BT Openreach" or confused with BT (the company that provides television/broadband/phone services). This means that while they're both owned by the same people (the BT group), they operate as separate companies. There is some crossover as BT instruct Openreach when there is a fault and Openreach visit your house to repair your BT router, but they are responsible for different things and they work with different systems.
Openreach can't be contacted directly. They are not responsible for managing your orders or accounts, any payments or billing - your internet provider does this. If you have a problem with getting your internet due to a fault with any of the infrastructure (inside or outside of the house), you need to call BT/your internet provider and log a complaint. Your provider will then ask Openreach to send out an engineer to fix things.
We are lucky, however, that there are lots of Openreach engineers about on the streets at the moment as they are still working on installing the infrastructure into new homes. If you have tried to get an engineer sent out through BT to fix a fault, but have been told it will take a long time or you are getting no where, you could try tracking down one of the on site Openreach engineers. Please be patient and polite though, the Openreach engineers on site aren't personally responsible to fix your fault and have no obligation to help you as their job is to install internet for the new homes that are being built, but they are usually very sympathetic and will do their best to help you if they can.
Getting set up with BT
Currently the most used internet provider to Lyde Green is BT. The BT internet being installed into new properties in Lyde Green is BT Infinity Fibre to the Premises (FTTP).
Once BT Openreach have installed the cabling and box in your home, you should be ready to order your internet online. It is worth searching for a deal online before ordering directly through BT as there are often offers to help you save money. It will usually take a few days to get activated once you have ordered.
Most new premises will have the BT Smart Hub a.k.a. BT Home Hub 6 (image below). Useful Guides for using these BT Hubs from BT here
If you have any problems with your broadband or account, try looking on their website help guides, or use the details below. You'll need your account number (this can be found on your bills or other letters). When you call, ask to speak to the "Fibre to the Premises" team, to be put through to the right person quickly:
- From a landline: 0800 800 150
- From abroad: +44 1793 596931
- From a mobile: 01793 596931 or 800 800 150
(Lines Open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm)
Currently the only known internet providers available for the Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) service in Lyde Green are BT and Zen Broadband. There are other providers for the basic Fibre Broadband (FTTC) including Origin, TalkTalk and PlusNet. Speeds will depend on the provider and package.
Residents can encourage other internet providers to make their services available in Lyde Green by registering interest on the provider's websites. Even if you aren’t interested in using these providers, it may improve the options in our area and help others (and may consequently improve the competitiveness of the BT service) so please do take a few minutes to register interest with other providers.
Virgin have made a business decision to build their own network and not use BT’s infrastructure. They will therefore have to install cabling to streets before their service becomes accessible in Lyde Green. It is expected that this will not happen for 5-7 years, but to help speed up the process, you can register your interest for Virgin Media on their website: the more interest they receive, the more likely they will be to roll out an alternative to BT in Lyde Green, and they may even consider installing cabling in the future build areas in Lyde Green. Even if you don’t intend to use Virgin Media, registering anyway could help others.

Start-up Shazino has released Plasmid.io, an iPhone/iPad/Mac application designed to help scientists get, manage, and share their plasmids wherever they are.
Download Plasmid.io for Mac OS X on the Mac App Store.
Download Plasmid.io for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch on the App Store.
Plasmids are DNA molecules mainly found in bacteria. Distinct from the chromosomal DNA and capable of self-replication, they are important tools in biotechnology where they are used to transfer, express, and replicate particular genes. To do so, scientists need to know all the components (genes, promoters, etc) of a plasmid and their exact location on it. Plasmid.io is an iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X application which allows scientists to manage their plasmid database wherever they are.
With Plasmid.io, scientists can edit their own plasmid DNA sequences or import them from GenBank, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) genetic sequence database. Each component of a plasmid can be delimited and annotated. In fact, it is possible to specify its name, its final product, and any other needed information (accession number, etc.). Plasmid.io also allows scientists to add all literature references related to the plasmid. Moreover, the app displays all restriction sites available in the plasmid DNA sequence. Finally, with all those information, Plasmid.io creates a map of the plasmid to facilitate the data visualization.
Plasmid.io is also an app dedicated to improve the communication between scientists. Each data can be shared by email in the form of a PDF or FASTA file. Moreover, PDF files can be directly uploaded to the Mendeley library. To help them share their plasmids, Plasmid.io also give scientists the possibility to make each one of their listed plasmids public or not. Public plasmids are visible by all Plasmid.io users which can request them.

Motion Graphics, Animation
Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently held their 2020 conference for the global cloud computing community for which I was fortunate enough to collaborate on some keynote animations with fellow creatives. Each animation would play on screen during the keynote while the presenter was explaining each section.
I was challenged with interpreting different and complex subject matter and concepts relating to the cloud computing space and translating them into simple, understandable animations. Below is a select group of animations displayed during the keynote along with a link to the actual keynote to show context within the presentation.

Our team frequently advises and supports other companies with GIS related projects in the Netherlands and abroad. Our digital world makes it easy to communicate all around the world, and it certainly helps that our team members fluently speak Dutch, Frisian, German, English and Spanish. The support consists of helping other people to use GIS or doing the GIS work for them or a combination of both. We also are specialized in the development of tailor-made courses which focus on using GIS in ecologically related projects.
In our organization the use of GIS is standard practice. Spatially explicit information is essential in nearly all projects that are carried out in relation to urban and rural planning and associated legislation. A&W uses a broad spectrum of GIS-software. Esri software is leading in this case. We make use of ArcGIS, Spatial Analyst and ArcPad for our mobile devices. In remote sensing projects we use ERDAS 2010. Furthermore we have a state-of-the-art photogrammetric system (Summit Evolution) which enables us to digitize in 3D. In addition we also make use of open source programs like Quantum GIS, GRASS and R statistics. The collection of digital data starts in the field with the use of mobile devices that have a built in GPS (mobile GIS). Our processes are specially equipped for creating and storing high quality geospatial data.


Who are we?

Food and drink will be provided to all participants at no cost. If you have any special dietary requirements please note them down when registering on the form.


Google Cloud Composer: Overcoming The Short-living Tasks Problem
Google Cloud Composer is Google Cloud Platform product that helps you manage complex workflows with ease.
It is built on top of Apache Airflow and is a fully managed service that leverages other GCP products like Cloud SQL, GCS, Kubernetes Engine, Stackdriver, Cloud SQL and Identity Aware Proxies.
You don’t have to worry about provisioning and dev-ops, so you can focus on your core business logic and let Google take care of the rest. With Airflow it’s easy to create, schedule, and monitor pipelines that span both cloud and on-premises data centres. With a vast selection of “Operators”, you can define pipelines natively in Python with just a few lines of code, and connect to several cloud providers or on-premises instances. If you don’t find the operator that fits your needs, it’s incredibly easy to create your own and import it. If you want to learn more about Apache Airflow, refer to the official docs.
Running short-living tasks
Airflow is a great tool, but as is often the case with high-level tools, it can introduce overheads when compared to lower-level implementations of the same operation. To get an idea of the overhead that Airflow could introduce, we can analyse the health-check example and run it on a Cloud Composer instance. The health-check DAG consists of a single bash operator that executes a simple command (
echo ENVIRONMENT_NAME). The following screenshot shows 5 runs of this workflow and returns run-times of 3.6 and 5 seconds. As this scale linearly across multiple invocations, the lag becomes a real problem if - like us - you're running thousands of them. To validate this, let's also measure how much time the same command run for if executed directly from the command line.
# time echo my-awesome-string
echo is blazing fast - and even trying to measure its execution time with the standard implementation of
time does not cut it. We could recompile the kernel with
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y - but who has time for that! So to find out, let's use
date with nanosecond precision (keep in mind that in this way the measure will be slightly overestimated).
# date +"%9N"; echo my-awesome-string ; date +"%9N"
This output is the decimal part of the date-stamp expressed in nanoseconds, so to get the elapsed time the equation is:
A more realistic, yet simple pipeline
Now that the results are in, it is pretty clear that the actual time needed to run the
echo command is irrelevant compared with the duration time of the corresponding Airflow task. So in this case, we can say that Airflow introduces an overhead of about 4 seconds.
Let’s apply these findings to a more real-world example. Let’s imagine we have a pipeline made of 4 tasks:
- Run a query on BigQuery using the BigQuery operator.
- Export the data to GCS.
- Compose the exported file into a single file.
- Copy the composed file to S3.
In our world, this pipeline runs daily for each country (of which we cover almost 250), which results in 1,000 tasks per daily run. It takes just a few minutes to execute this operation via a simple bash script because each operation runs for just a few seconds. Using Airflow however, this pipeline takes about an hour to complete. When running a backfill job over 3 years of data across 3 different instances of this pipeline, we end up with more than 3 millions tasks to execute, and having so many tasks to manage at the same time creates an avalanche effect. This overwhelms the system and causes problems in getting tasks to schedule, queue, and run.
To achieve our aim while invoking fewer tasks, we accepted a reduction in the granularity of execution and parallelism but maintained the automation capabilities offered by Airflow. We were able to tune this developing an Airflow plugin called Chains, which can be found on the airflow-plugins repository. NB. If you have built a custom operator or plugins that you want to share, you can do that by submitting a PR to that repository.
The Chain Airflow plugin
The Chain plugin offers 2 operators —
BigQueryToCloudStorageChainOperator — that you can use to chain together a set of operations. These operators are based on the corresponding official ones ( BigQueryOperator and BigQueryToCloudStorageOperator) with just a few simple modifications. These operators can take lists of values instead of single values as parameters, and will then loop on the list to run all the operation in sequence.
This solution trades parallelism and granularity in favour of reducing the number of tasks bundling together multiple operations into a single Airflow task. Using these operators in our example pipeline, we were able to bundle the countries into groups and adjust the trade-off between parallelism and the total number of Airflow tasks. In our case, by using Chains and partitioning our countries into 7 groups, we were able to reduce the number of Airflow tasks by a factor of 35.
The results include better performances in both the single-day and full historical backfill use-cases. Single days run in less than 12 minutes vs. 60 minutes (a 5x improvement). Running the 3-year backfill for our 3 different types of pipeline finish in less than a day instead of an estimated 3 months (90x improvement)! This helps to confirm that the problem was indeed the Airflow per-task overhead.
Of course, this is somewhat expected, as Airflow is not designed to be a real-time system and is really designed for managing larger and more complex pipelines.

SLACK IT UP: TOP TIPS FOR OPTIMUM SLACK USAGE
Recently, GSATi began the transitioning process from communication server HipChat, to new kid on the block, Slack, a group communication and collaboration application, with both free and premium versions available for use. In doing so, we’ve discovered a few tools that are quick, easy and often fun to use. Here’s our top five tips on how to optimize your Slack experience.
/Commands: SlackBot Commands
Slack has a plethora of commands available with the push of a “/” but we’ve found the “/reminder” command to be the most useful. Your handy dandy Slackbot can remind you to do just about whatever you’d like, using the basic formula “/remind [someone or #channel] [at this time] to [insert activity].” Check out a couple of pings we tried recently:
Feed it back: Leo the Slackbot
A big change, or rather additional difference between HipChat and Slack, is Leo the Slackbot. This program serves as a built-in employee feedback generator, where companies can offer opportunities to let their staff be heard via simple weekly poll questions. The questions are delivered to users in the form of a basic chat from Leo the Slackbot and returns responses in real-time, anonymously. Leo is an ergonomic and effective way of measuring team satisfaction and receiving *honest* feedback.
Edit it Up: Making Edits with the “Up” Key
With Slack, your opportunities to fix mistakes are even greater than before. By pressing the “up” directional key, users are able to quickly make edits to already delivered messages. It’s one small step for many, but a giant leap for the communication application industry
Customize it: Setting a Custom Theme
From the drop down menu next to your channel name, access Preferences> Sidebar Theme. There, users are able to customize their sidebar theme. Templates are available to choose from, however users are welcome to create AND share custom designs of their own. The opportunity for individualistic expression is highly appreciated across the board.
Giphy + Slack: United Forever
If your organization is anything like ours, then you enjoy a good giggle every once and a while to break up the monotony of the day. Slack and gif generator Giphy have just the thing. By using command: /giphy, users are given access to a variety of gifs that can act as entertaining placeholders for otherwise written responses, or even as a simple way of invoking laughter amongst coworkers. The results are seemingly given in a very Russian Roulette style, but are hilarious just the same.
Have an experience with Slack you’d like to share? Email us at email@example.com and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.


You have a small business. You want to setup an online ecommerce store to make it bigger. But you are not sure how. What will be the cost, which technology to use, whom to hire. Sounds familiar?
Now, here's the good news!
You don't need to be a technical person to set up an online ecommerce store. Neither do you need to spend huge amounts of money and wait for months to see your online store up and and running. There are some great online, DIY ( do-it-yourself) solutions that will help you have a web store up and running in no time, with integrated payment gateways and hundreds of products.
What's more, most of these stores have Paypal and other popular payment facilitators pre-integrated. Integrating third-party payment gateways is also quite simple, as compared to a website that is being built from scratch.
Even if you have a software development background, it makes a lot of sense to use your time to develop and quickly launch your idea, rather than spending months on coding a new website.
What are the popular options for setting up a DIY e-commerce store?
Which software solution is the best for your own e-commerce store?
This depends on a few factors:
1) Size of your business
2) Number of products
3) Features needed
4) Customization level needed
5) Time you can spend on managing the site
Can I try one of these Online Store Builders before I pay up for my e-commerce store?
Yes, most of these e-commerce site solution providers offer a free trial before you pay up. This trial period is in the range of 2 weeks, which should be good enough for you to explore their tools and features.
I want my own logo, banner and brand colors on my e-commerce store. Is that possible?
Yes, you can customize your e-commerce store with your logo, banner and brand colors.
What if I need help in setting up/managing/customizing the store?
You can hire professionals who work on a per hour or per contract basis to help you with tasks that are too technical or time-consuming.
Do you have any questions? Do you need help with setting up an e-commerce store?

The documentation you are viewing is for Dapr v1.8 which is an older version of Dapr. For up-to-date documentation, see the latest version.
Contributing with GitHub Codespaces
GitHub Codespaces are the easiest way to get up and running for contributing to a Dapr repo. In as little as a single click, you can have an environment with all of the prerequisites ready to go in your browser.
- Click and Run: Get a dedicated and sandboxed environment with all of the required frameworks and packages ready to go.
- Usage-based Billing: Only pay for the time you spend developing in the Codespace. Environments are spun down automatically when not in use.
- Portable: Run in your browser or in Visual Studio Code
Open a Dapr repo in a Codespace
To open a Dapr repository in a Codespace simply select “Code” from the repo homepage and “Open with Codespaces”:
If you haven’t already forked the repo, creating the Codespace will also create a fork for you and use it inside the Codespace.
Developing Dapr Components in a Codespace
Developing a new Dapr component requires working with both the components-contrib and dapr repos together under the
$GOPATH tree for testing purposes. To facilitate this, the
/go/src/github.com/dapr folder in the components-contrib Codespace will already be set up with your fork of components-contrib, and a clone of the dapr repo as described in the component development documentation. A few things to note in this configuration:
- The components-contrib and dapr repos only define Codespaces for the Linux amd64 environment at the moment.
/go/src/github.com/dapr/components-contribfolder is a soft link to Codespace’s default
/workspace/components-contribfolder, so changes in one will be automatically reflected in the other.
- Since the
/go/src/github.com/dapr/daprfolder uses a clone of the official dapr repo rather than a fork, you will not be able to make a pull request from changes made in that folder directly. You can use the dapr Codespace separately for that PR, or if you would like to use the same Codespace for the dapr changes as well, you should remap the dapr repo origin to your fork in the components-contrib Codespace. For example, to use a dapr fork under
cd /go/src/github.com/dapr/dapr git remote set-url origin https://github.com/my-git-alias/dapr git fetch git reset --hard

This is my report on how I installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a Sarge for i386 on Toshiba Libretto 50.
My goal of the installation is to make my Libretto a server connected to intranet LAN that runs a private web server, which cannot be accessed from the Internet. So, I do not need desktop environments such as GNOME or KDE. I know some people have already reported on how to enable 16bit sound on Libretto 50 under Linux, but I do not need it because my Libretto will run basically as a server.
Libretto 50/60/70 have almost identical hardware except for CPU speed, dimensions and capacities of hard disks, and other few stuffs.
For that reason, the general principles should apply equally to the following models:
When I tried installation, I had a serious trouble in activating the ISA-to-PCMCIA Bridge controller. Until I finally found a way to activate ISA-to-PCMCIA Bridge controller, PCMCIA did not work. I needed to modify /etc/default/pcmcia to get the ISA-to-PCMCIA Bridge controller to work.
There are many strategies suggested by others to install Linux on Libretto.
I had a laptop computer with floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, and built-in ethernet LAN.
So, I used the following strategy:
Take out the hard disk from Libretto, and install OS on the hard disk by using another laptop computer, and then place the hard disk back to Libretto.
I took the following steps to install Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Sarge for i386 on Toshiba Libretto 50:
Prepare installation media. Obtain or create CD-ROMs or other media of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Sarge for i386. If you need to boot from floppy disks, create the floppy disks before you proceed.
Take the hard disk drive out of Toshiba Libretto 50. To do that, unscrew the two screws on the back as you can see in the following photo. You can pull the handle that attaches the hard disk.
Insert the hard disk drive to another laptop computer, on which you know you can install GNU/Linux 3.1 Sarge for i386 without any problems. If you have an adapter which connects 2.5 inch hard disks to 3.5 inch hard disk connector, then you can use desktop computer instead of a laptop computer.
Make partitions on the hard disk by using that laptop computer.
When you make partitions on the hard disk by using a computer other than Libretto 50/60/70, do not make a partion that spans the last 32MB at the end of the hard disk. Leave the last 32MB space free and unused. If Libretto entered hibernation mode, Libretto's system BIOS would write physical RAM's data on the last 32MB free space of the hard disk, independently of the type of the OS. I am not sure if the Libretto's BIOS would write the same data size as physical RAM's size on hard disk when hibernation. I think you would better spare the last 32MB at the end of the hard disk, even if your Libretto has less than 32MB of RAM.
I did not use MS Windows' fdisk.exe for Linux partition, but if you made FAT partitions on a hard disk inside Libretto 50/60/70 by using MS Windows' fdisk.exe, then the Libretto's system BIOS would hide the last 32MB free space of the hard disk.
In my installation, I simply made one Linux native partition and one swap partition on TOSHIBA MK0803MAT 810MB HDD.
If you upgraded your Libretto's hard disk, the location of the last free space would be different from the following table:
The partition /dev/hda1 has 738.0MB, and its file system is ext3, which will be mounted as /.
The partition /dev/hda2 has 40.3MB, which will be used as swap partiton.
remaining free space has 37.2MB.
# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 815 MB, 815431680 bytes 32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 790 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 715 720688+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 716 754 39312 82 Linux swap / Solaris
In my partitioning, the last free space of 37.2MB had 72576 sectors,
starting at Cylinder 754 (when the first cylinder numbered zero), Head 0, Sector 0, and
ending at Cylinder 789, Head 31, Sector 62.
Actually, the beginning of the last free space can be at Cylinder 755 (when the first cylinder is numbered as 0), Head 0, Sector 1 to minimize the last unused space.
The following calculation would explain the numbers in the output of fdisk command (and cfdisk command).
Each sector has 512 bytes. That is 512 bytes/sector.
(64 sectors - 1 sector) * 32 heads = 2016 sectors per cylinder.
(64 sectors - 1 sector) * 32 heads * 512 bytes/sector = 2016 sectors * 512 bytes/sector = 1032192 bytes per cylinder.
/dev/hda (the whole hard disk drive) has 790 cylinders.
1032192 bytes per cylinder * 790 cylinders = 815431680 bytes in the whole hard disk drive.
The first partition /dev/hda1 has 715 cylinders.
2016 sectors per cylinder * 715 cylinders = 1441440 sectors.
1441440 sectors - 63 sectors of offset = 1441377 sectors.
1441377 sectors * 512 bytes/sector = 737985024 bytes.
737985024 bytes / 1024 = 720688.5 KiB. (See "720688+" in the Blocks number column in the fdisk output)
Install Debian Linux by using the laptop computer. You do not need to do anything specific to Libretto at this stage. I installed kernel 2.6.8. Make sure that you install pcmcia-cs package and hotplug package.
Note: The hotplug package became obsolete in Linux distributions which include udev package.
udev is the device manager for the Linux kernel.
Primarily, udev manages device nodes in /dev.
udev is the successor of devfs and hotplug, which means that it handles the /dev directory and all user space actions when adding or removing devices.
The Linux kernel version 2.6.13 introduced a new version of the uevent interface.
Debian version 4.0 etch, released on 2007-04-08, had kernel 2.6.18.
The hotplug package conflicts with udev package.
Finish all the essential setup.
Take the hard disk drive out of the laptop computer, and insert it to Libretto.
Power on Libretto. Login as root.
Open and edit the following file with your favorite text editor: /etc/default/pcmcia
The content of /etc/default/pcmcia would look like this:
# Defaults for pcmcia (sourced by /etc/init.d/pcmcia)
Change the line "PCIC=yenta_socket" to "PCIC=i82365". You change it in this way because yenta_socket will work for PCI-to-PCMCIA but not for ISA-to-PCMCIA.
Save the file, and exit your text editor.
Type "shutdown -h now" at the shell command prompt in order to power off.
After you see "Power down." on the screen, push the power button for a second. That will cause Libretto to make a beep sound twice and to power off.
Power on Libretto. If you see the following messages, ISA-to-PCMCIA Bridge controller is working:
Linux Kernel Card Services options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Intel ISA PCIC probe: Intel i82365sl B step ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 2 sockets host opts : none host opts : none ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,9,10,11,15 status change on irq 15
If ISA-to-PCMCIA Bridge controller is working, you would see the following output of "cardctl status" command when no PCMCIA card is inserted:
# cardctl status Socket 0: no card Socket 1: no card
Thanks to Manoj Srivastava for providing your report on enabling ISA-to-PCMCIA bridge.
Subject: Success: migrating ISA PCMCIA bridge and wavelan NIC to kernel2.4.7
From: Manoj Srivastava
Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 23:43:10 -0500
I finally managed to get my old ISA PCMCIA bridge working with the 2.4.X kernels (running 2.4.9 right now). I went from the stand alone pcmcia modules package to using the built in drivers in the 2.4.X kernels. I had to change two files; as shown below.
Toshiba Libretto 50CT
I have install Libranet 2.8 (mostly Sarge) on a drive which I then installed in my (new to me) Libretto. Everything except pcmcia went smoothly.

Installing Debian "Woody" Linux on the Libretto 50CT (I found the page around 2005. The page is unavailable now.)
Libretto 100 Experiences (I found the page in August, 2005. The page is unavailable now.)
... The Libretto 100 has a few oddities about it. It is mostly PCI based, it's Graphics Chip, Infrared controller, and CardBus controllers are all PCI. However, the only device on the PCI bus that has an IRQ line is the Infrared controller. This means the CardBus controller must be polled for card insertion/removal. This is poor designing for a laptop, as PIO is much harder on the battery and heat generation than interrupt driven IO. The PIO nature of the CardBus controller will cause problems with alternative operating systems. Notably, I havn't gotten PCMCIA working at all on the *BSD's, because they apparently don't do PIO on the CardBus controller. Windows and Linux both work fine, though read the PCMCIA under Linux section if you're interested in running Linux on the L100.
Strangely, the IDE controller is not PCI based on the L100. This is probably because it is based on the Libretto 50/70 design, and Toshiba kept most parts the same. The sound card, IDE controller, PS/2 controller and many other devices are the same components as on the L50/L70.
PCMCIA CardServices Under Linux
The Lib100 uses a ToPIC97 PCI->CardBus bridge. The ToPIC97 does not have an IRQ line to it, and this causes some problems with newer versions of PCMCIA card services. I've had no problems with the 2.2 kernel series and the 3.1.xx pcmcia card services, the cardmgr just runs in a polling mode. However, I've not gotten it working with the 2.3.99preX series with the builtin kernel PCMCIA services. Hope it gets fixed for 2.4 kernels.

Linux and the Toshiba Libretto 100CT (I found the page around 2005. The page is still available in January 2012.)
Installing Zipslack is a breeze, you just unzip it in the root directory of your drive under Win95 and then reboot the machine into MS-DOS by hitting the "F8" key on reboot and selecting "7" or "Safe mode command prompt only". Once you are in MS-DOS, change into the "linux" directory and edit the linux.bat file and find the right boot commands to boot off of your paticular drive (put examples here). Of course you can edit this under Windows. For the Libretto I used the line:
\linux\loadlin \linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 rw
I found three problems. One that I had some bogus multifunction card that was not supported by the PCMCIA drivers. It would work with the modem but not the ethernet. The solution there was to purchase a "Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100+ / Modem 56" card.
The second was that Zipslack does not start up the pcmcia services. You need to change the line in /etc/rc.c/rc.M and rc.S to run /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia and not /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia.N. I would have make the file name "rc.pcmcia.N" and not have the rc.* files run the wrong file name for the default. This way if the pcmcia moudules are recompiled and installed it will come up running the pcmcia package.
The third problem took me on a bit of a wild goose chase. It seems I didn't have all of the different card support I needed so downloaded the pcmcia module package by David Hinds. A recompile and install later I was seeing my ethernet and modem card.
Installing RedHat Linux on a Toshiba Libretto 100CT - RedGrittyBrick (I found the page around 2005. The page is still available in January 2012.)
Some areas that caused me difficulties were ...
- The "hibernation" disk partition used for hibernation mode. My first install of RH6 trampled over it. My subsequent
apm -Sprobably trashed swap. Anyway, I ended up reinstalling.
- The PCMCIA floppy disk drive is only good for booting the initial Linux boot disk. Since Linux doesnt have a driver for Libretto's oddball floppy drive, I couldn't load supplemental disks (for PCMCIA or Net support). The RedHat CD has separate boot-disk images that include pcmcia and networking but not as a single image?
- The NeoMagic video chipset was recognised but the video driver couldn't be set up properly by the installer. That was not too bad, I deferred X until I had the initial installation completed. (no longer an issue with recent RedHat releases
- Shrinking Windows partitions
I never have any luck shrinking Windows 9.x partitions with FIPS 1.5. I have tried this on several PCs. I suspect its because Windows' disk-defragmenter regards some files as unmovable and hence leaves them at the far end of the partition. I always end up using Partition Magic.
- The Keyboard
At first it seems there is no way to key Ctrl+Alt+KeyPad-Plus or Ctrl+Alt+KeyPad-Minus because there is no obvious KeyPad-Plus key. These keys are used by XFree86 to switch video modes.
Libretto 70 CT and Linux : additional information (I found the page in August, 2005. The page is still available in January 2012.)
1) Get the PCMCIA floppy drive
To make the external flopppy work you have to obtain the kernel patch by David Bateman (which I have slightly modified to make it work on more recent kernels). You can find this "patched patch" here : floppy_cs-1.02-fix2213.tar.bz2
Also obtain the source for the pcmcia package (I used 3.1.26) and the kernel source (I used 2.2.19).
3) Get the hibernation mode working on the larger harddisk
The only thing that caused me a real headache was the hibernation mode that uses a part on the harddisk to store the memory while the Libretto was switched off. If this part lays somewhere in the middle of a Linux partition the latter will be partly or wholly destroyed after one hibernation ....
In the original disk simply the last 18 cylinders were reserved for hibernation :
raw size of 1.6 GB disk :788/64/63 (C/H/S), Linux usable size :770/64/63 (C/H/S)
However, with this new disk things were much more complicated as the Libretto BIOS - just like many older PCs - can't recognize disks larger than 8.4 GB. After some disasters (a trashed second partition and a trashed swap space !) I found out that hibernation takes place in the first sectors AFTER the 8.4 GB.
To put things absolutely clear: it is NOT at the end of the 10 GB and it is also NOT just BEFORE the end of the 8.4 GB.
After finding this out I decided upon the following partitioning scheme that already works flawlessly for some time without causing any damage to the Linux partitions after several hibernations and fscks / memory checks :
Layout of the 10 GB disk : 1222 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors
My partitioning scheme :
Linux partition : 1 - 192 (1.5 GB)
Work partition : 193 - 1015 (6.5 GB)
Swap partition : 1016 - 1023 ( 64 MB)
Hibernation : 1024 - 1929 ( 48 MB) (can be smaller : only need 32 MB)
Third partition : 1030 - 1222 (1.5 GB)
Fdisk reports the following :
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1222 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 192 1542208+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 193 1015 6610747+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda3 1016 1023 64260 83 Linux native
/dev/hda4 1024 1222 1598467+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1024 1029 48163+ 70 DiskSecure Multi-Boot
/dev/hda6 1030 1222 1550241 83 Linux native
4) Get Sound to work in 16 bit mode
/sbin/modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x220 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
Installing Debian 2.0 on a Libretto 100CT (I found the page around 2005. The page is unavailable now.)
Since the page is unavailable now, I include longer excerpt here.
Installing Debian 2.x on a Libretto 100CT
Since Linux does not support the Libretto's PCMCIA floppy drive, you need to somehow install the operating system without using floppies. This is somewhat tricky. There are numerous strategies I have seen suggested:
- Install from a parallel ZIP drive
- Install over the network using PLIP
- Install over the network using a PCMCIA Ethernet card.
I used the last method and it seemed to work quite well.
I started with the following hardware and software:
- Libretto 100CT running the pre-installed Windows 95 setup, with a D-Link DE660 PCMCIA ethernet card.
- Desktop PC dual booting Windows NT and Linux. 3Com 3c509 ethernet card.
PREPARING THE DESKTOP PC
- Make sure that Windows 95/NT can speak NetBEUI (to avoid having to configure TCP/IP on the Libretto '95 setup).
- Enable sharing of the machine's CD-ROM drive.
PREPARING THE LIBRETTO
- De-fragment drive C.
- Use FIPS to split the C drive into smaller partitions. You may need to download a new version of FIPS if your libretto is using FAT32 on its C drive. Read the FIPS manual for instructions on how to do this. Make sure your C drive is still large enough to hold the 600 MB of the Debian Binary CD.
- Make sure the NetBEUI protocol and appropriate driver for your PCMCIA ethernet card are installed.
- Open the desktop machine's CD-ROM share, and check you can read it across the network.
- Copy the contents of the binary CD-ROM to a directory C:\DEBIAN on your Libretto.
- Make a Windows 95 boot disk with a copy of FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on it in case of disaster.
THE BASE DEBIAN INSTALLATION
- Reboot your Libretto. When it says 'Staring Windows 95' press F8 to get the boot menu.
- Choose Command Prompt Only.
- CD \DEBIAN\INSTALL
- Run BOOT.BAT. This should result in the Debian Installation running as 'normal'. Go through the normal Debian installation procedure. Take care of the following points:
- Be careful with repartitioning. There is a small unpartitioned area of the disk at the end which you must not touch, since the Libretto uses it for Suspend/Resume functionality. FIPS will have left it alone, since it was fooled by the BIOS, but Linux disk partitioning programs are not so gullible. Tread with care!
- When you are prompted where to get data from, choose local filesystem, and tell it /dev/hda1 Do the same when it asks you for a location for the base installation images.
- When you are installing modules, make sure you include VFAT and NFS support.
- When asked whether this machine will be on a network say NO. I find this to be safer than making the machine assume it will always have the same IP address.
- Don't make either a boot disk or activate LILO. I have not managed to get LILO to work, so I always use loadlin to boot Linux on my Libretto.
REMAINDER OF THE INSTALL
- Reboot, and use F8 to get to a command prompt again.
If you accidentally installed a LILO boot sector, you won't be able to get back into Windows, so you'll need to use your boot floppy and run FDISK /MBR to restore the Windows 95 boot sector.
- CD \DEBIAN\INSTALL
LOADLIN LINUX ROOT=/dev/hda2
If you used a different partitioning scheme from me you should substitute your appropriate root partition in the above command
- Set your root and ordinary account passwords.
- When dselect starts, quit from it. You can't do anything with it yet anyway.
- mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
- Locate the PCMCIA support packages under /mnt/debian, and use dpkg to install them (pcmcia-modules and pcmcia-cs). When prompted, start the PCMCIA subsystem. With luck, your Libretto should beep twice to tell you it has detected your ethernet card, which will appear as kernel symbol eth0. You may have to do this by hand by running /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
- Edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts with a sensible IP address, and other network configuration stuff. Now configure everything with:
cardctl scheme 1
- umount /dev/hda1
- On the desktop machine reboot into Linux, mount the Debian Binary CD-ROM, and NFS export it so the Libretto will be able to see it.
- Test that you can successfully mount your desktop machine's CD-ROM drive:
mount -t nfs nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:/cdrom /mnt
Note I used dotted quad notation throughout here - there's no DNS to set up yet, and my Desktop Linux box doesn't run a DNS server anyway. You could always put stuff in /etc/hosts if you can't stand the numbers.
- If this worked, umount /mnt, and run dselect.
- From this point on you can install the rest of the Debian 2.0 system as normal, selecting NFS as your source. Take the following notes, though:
- Only install the VGA16 X server for now. We will obtain a better one later.
- Don't set xdm to start an X session automatically.

This site exists to fulfil a frequently heard reqest: To be able to compare the performance of codecs, consistently, openly, and usefully.
What’s Wrong with Measurements?
Most measurements of codecs occur in some specific context. Very often that context is set by constraints that appear artificial or unrealistic in the context where codecs are really used: In the real world - and most especially, on the Internet, in the delivery of video based services.
This site aims to generate video quality metrics under multiple scenarios, all of which bear some relation to Real Life. We don’t expect to be able to mirror real life perfectly - that would probably make it impossible to produce reproducible results, another goal, but we aim to find ways to score the performance of codecs in such a way that if two codecs differ significantly in score under a given scenario, the one that scores best is also likely to work best in practice in real life scenarios that resemble that scenario.
This site aims to be open in three very important ways:
Open source. Scripts, Web pages, video sources, the lot. Anyone should be able to, with a few simple commands, build their own copy of the website and its backing system, and reproduce our results.
Open contribution. Anyone who thinks they can make things “a little bit better” for a codec in a scenario should be free to make the proposal, submit a diff, and have it incorporated in the site. Anyone with a “better mousetrap” in the form of a new codec, a new metric or a new scenario emulator should similarly be able to contribute their code (provided it’s freely distributable under the terms we adhere to), and show how their codec, metric or scenario performs with all the others.
Open results. While this is an obvious consequence of being open source, it is still an important contrast to other efforts: What we measure will be public. There will be no secrets.
Testing a Whole Codec vs. Testing the Encoding in Isolation
Testing codecs has very often been an acrimonious matter, because some parties wish to test just a specific component of the encoding process, while others feel that ignoring properties that matter in real life situations is making comparisons unfair and unreasonable.
One simile (props to
FIXME from Ericsson for this): “If you want to test the
performance of an engine, you don’t want to put it in a car - you isolate it
on a measurement bench to remove the variability from your measurements”. True
as far as it goes - but conversely, if you are comparing cars, removing their
engines and testing them in isolation gives no information about their
handling characteristics on the road; for that, brakes, steering and
transmission all matter.
We have chosen to test codecs in, as far as possible, the way they will be used. This means that we test real implementations, that people use in production, and test them including all tools that matter, including rate control, filters, preprocessing, postprocessing and so on - if it improves the performance, and it’s clearly identified (and available in opensource), let it be used!
Scenarios We Aim to Cover
The scenarios we aim to cover in the initial set are the following:
Traditional “Fixed quality, no adaptation”. This is not an important version in Real Life, but is important because it allows some means of comparison with measurements done under this testing methodology at, for instance, MPEG.
Pre-encoded video targeted at fixed bandwidth delivery. This is a scenario where we can take the time we need for encoding, and use tools like multi-pass encoding - but the result needs to be measured on the experience it achieves if delivered over a fixed bandwidth channel; if peaks in bandwidth are big enough to overflow jitter buffers, for instance, the codec needs to be penalized.
Interactive video, targeted at fixed bandwidth delivery. In this scenario, encoding needs to be done one (or a few) frames at a time, with no lookahead into future frames (they haven’t been produced yet), and no or very limited buffering at the receiver side. Codecs that overrun the bitrate allocation at any point in time need to be sharply penalized for doing so. In this scenario, it’s also relevant to look at speed of encoding and decoding; encoding that cannot keep up with real time on a machine running these tests is unlikely to be very useful in real life if one depends on a software codec.
Other scenarios may be added once a consensus emerges on what they should be, and once the tools are available for measuring the metrics that are important in those scenarios.
Issues This Site Does Not Cover
All that this site is concerned with is that it produces reproducible results. It is absolutely unconcerned with many details that matter for real deployments, such as commercial licenses, patent restrictions, flexibility of software, tunability for special scenarios and so on.
These issues can only be evaluated in the context of a specific usage scenario and business model; it is not possible for a project like this to give useful guidance in those matters.
