on: Systemd-cryptsetup: Booting with encrypted root partition fails instantly
Two distros referenced on this thread are Gentoo and Arch - both are rolling-release tinkerer's distros, and it has been noted that the feature in question has been out of scope for QA by the systemd project as of late. The community quickly found and shared workarounds and the bug will get fixed. I was bitten by this bug, but I'm not sweating it.

on: Tiny Linux distro that runs the entire OS as Docker containers
This hasn't always been so, as historically a kernel patched to support aufs was a requirement. It's easier to install docker in 2017 as much of the plumbing shared by the container ecosystem (including nspawn) has become ubiquitous.

on: Announcing Azure Command-Line Interface 2.0 Preview
I've recently completed a project of moderate complexity. I began development on Python 3 in a Jessie vm, and later ported to and deployed on Python 2.6 on CentOS 6.
The process was not without its challenges, but developing on a modern platform and backporting was a breeze, and I'm not worried about upgrades.

on: Is your SSH password revealed when you attempt to connect to the wrong server?
The CA or smart card software is only needed for provisioning smart cards for clients, and is likely to be of little concern for setting up a new server. The card itself stores a non-phishable credential which you can physically secure.
