In this episode, we talk about our personal, professional, and podcast plans for 2018. We also talk about some basic bird’s-eye-view performance tuning.
The Season 2 Shitshow! (Shitshows are our finale for each season in which we invite listeners to join in with us and we don’t really have a real topic.) As per tradition of our shitshows, this is unedited so it sounds a bit rough (sorry about that). We talk about ducks way too much during the second half.
In this episode, we talk about installation preconfiguration (via e.g. Kickstart, etc.) vs. configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, etc.) for baremetal turnups. We also answer an email from a listener!

We talk about clever deployment options for SSH, both for auth and for hostkeys. We also yammer a bit about the embedded Minix system discovered in Intel chips and the concept of a city-run ISP.
In which we talk about KRACK (and ROCA, the RSA flaw in some TPM chips), and how to perhaps move forward/past the “unpatchable/limited patching in prod” scenario.
