In this podcast (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode162/RFHPC162BlockchainforFakeNews.mp3), the Radio Free HPC team looks at Henry Newman's recent proposal (http://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/storage-management/blockchain-could-help-stop-fake-news.html) to use Blockchain as a way to combat Fake News. Henry shares that this rant result from what he saw as an egregious story that was going around that could have been easily quashed."What if every audio or video app on your phone, TV news camera or your video camera automatically came set up to create blockchains that included information such as geolocation, date and time? Editing programs would also be required to use blockchain. And what if every frame that was edited had a blockchain describing what changes were made?"After that, we do our Catch of the Week.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode162/RFHPC162BlockchainforFakeNews.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/dUtiDDoECfY)

We kick off the show discussing a new book - The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google. Find out what makes these companies click and why they have become so profitable and ubiquitous. Microsoft announced that Windows 10 Mobile will no longer be a focus of the company, providing only bug fixes and security updates. Continuing with the farewell tone, we are saying goodbye to AOL Instant Messenger, the once famed and popular chat function in the late 1990s and early 2000s. And finally, YouTube has banned gun modification videos from their listings in response to the Las Vegas mass shooting and human tragedy.

I talked with the folks over at iXSystems about FreeNAS, and TrueNAS, along with their line of hardware at VMWorld. For a SMB, the ability to re-purpose old hardware for something as important as network storage, is a great way to keep costs low. To also have a community of help is an important part.

What is FreeNAS

With Enterprise-grade features, and an Open source license to create a RAID storage array for backups, replication, and file sharing. You will be able to set it up for internal, or external use.

FreeNAS is meant for small home business, or anyone that would like to back up their devices onto one machine. From work documents, to movies, music, and more. You can even share with family and friends.

What is TrueNAS

TrueNAS is for businesses where accessing information is more critical. TrueNAS is Enterprise ready, and uses the same ZFS based storage arrays. With TrueCache, you can leverage bottlenecks, keeping everyone working.

About iXSystems

iXSystems is more than just Open source software. They supply a large line of servers, storage, and more. You can build your whole IT department around iXsystems solutions.
