[ale] Hey! Meeting week!

Not certain I can make it in-person. Remote in?

I didn't memorize the presentations and SELF presentations usually require about
a month to be posted to youtube. Did take notes for myself for many of the
sessions attended. Sometimes, my notes boil down to "use A, not B" ... but I
didn't capture the "why." Sorry.

I've been on libvirt + KVM for about 6 yrs.  The newer releases have native
support for containers (which I haven't used) since none of my production
systems use containers.  If I can actually implement the security best practices
for containers, which is non-trivial, may, switch a few over to be containers. I
will NOT be grabbing any pre-build containers. THAT is certain.

After all, if the hostOS is compromised, the war is lost.

I attended almost all the container/docker/virtualization and video/photography
sessions:

Also attended the Routing With Linux session. This was based on the Ars article.
Basically, he used a small Ubuntu Linux, manually turned it into a router, added
about a page of iptables rules and said it was faster after doing some
throughput testing.  iperf testing didn't count; something about really pusing
data through that makes the cheap routers fail though iperf shows them handling
GigE performance without issue. Had some good reasons to prefer a current,
maintained, Linux distro over pre-made BSD router distros like pfSense.
