Worked supporting 2 of the 13 core internet root NS and the major TLDS and it's safe to say you can't escape DNS surveillance.

I've seen this so many times in self-rolled auditing kludges that it has become kind of a running joke. I'm now surprised if anyone does anything more sophisticated than sym encryption of master credentials used to guard secrets without using the same secret for both as a first pass. Embedded master passwords abound in most legacy OSS configurations.

Texas is a long, uncomfortable haul in general. The year I did this crossing was 1994. Witnessed racism, religion gone wrong and malicious violence in more than one local personality jumping on for a town to town hop.

New Orleans coach was 2004. The rowdiness, smells and movement in the train gave me the only migraine I've ever had. I could barely give directions to the cab driver for my hotel and slept 16 hours.

Public ground/rail transport in the US is not for the faint hearted. Spoken as a travel veteran in three decades of cross country trips via Greyhound and Amtrak.

TIPS: * Don't cross Texas in a Greyhound. * Don't go to New Orleans Amtrak coach from DC.

A lot of people are overlooking the ultimate consumers of this data or being the usual SV shills. This data and all PHI/PII can be resold to insurance packaged in slightly different ways. Have fun with your 20th century issues in the 21st.

Actually 10% of the sysadmins make the other 90% look pretty good in this respect. I've woken many mornings at 4 am without an immediate rationale to realize a moment later that there could be a problem and it could be mine. The SA mind is the best arbiter of possibility within the open domain unrealized by data learnage.

Well there is configuration driving your logic...if your logic is supple the configuration is not that important.

This is pretty classic amateur hour. He basically says 'I now know docker and everything looks like a container! Look at how productive I can be by discarding this set piece environment with out of fashion, slow and deliberate provisioning for docker images that I can create once and run forever with auto provisioning and dutch oven magic + an editor!'

Still using LXC where it makes sense and never felt the call of Docker...or Kubernetes or any of this developer popularized opaque tooling over sophisticated meddling with my systems.

Self signed internal CA for private use all day + mandatory client certs. Internal approved CA for business. Never see a need to change this. This Lets encrypt stuff is faddish to me.
