Loving Dan and Wes's take on the TechSNAP program, especially the deep dives, while it was certainly more than I ever thought I wanted to know about a backup program, it was very entertaining to hear Dan go over the various aspects of Bacula. 

Additionally, as someone learning how to write C code that actually does something useful (currently about halfway through K&R's ANSI C), it was great to get a better understanding of what exactly these valgrind messages mean I screwed up, lol.

I've been using FreeBSD as well as DragonFly BSD more and more prominently in my work, and am beginning to look into using Jails to help isolate processes, hopefully getting to the point of having webservers connect to database servers in separate jails, and allowing each host to have its own jail and similar separations so the systems can be made more modular, and prevent errors in one program from being able to trash other data, as well as containing any threats that may pop up. 

I'd love it if Dan could cover jails and jail networking in a future deep dive, perhaps not so much the creation of a jail, but how to configure them to accomplish specific tasks, such as being an isolated web server, so if you have a vulnerability in apache/nginx, you don't risk compromising the base system.

Again, loving the new show format, I wasn't sure there'd be a way to replace Chris and Allan, but you guys have done a fantastic job of taking over.
