Network-Bound Disk Encryption

I was reading the redhat release notes on 7.4 and came across: Chapter 15. Security

New packages: tang, clevis, jose, luksmeta

Network Bound Disk Encryption (NBDE) allows the user to encrypt root volumes of the hard drives on physical and virtual machines without requiring to manually enter password when systems are rebooted.

That means, we can now have an encrypted (luks) volume that will be de-crypted on reboot, without the need of typing a passphrase!!!

Really - really useful on VPS (and general in cloud infrastructures)

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

I’ve listened to the audiobook, Narrated by Wil Wheaton.

The book is AMAZING! Taking a trip down memory lane to ’80s pop culture, video games, music & movies. A sci-fi futuristic book that online gamers are trying to solve puzzles on a easter egg hunt for the control of oasis, a virtual reality game.
