Speaker: Nick Skarott
Take a Newt, add a Gerbil, and throw a Badger in for good luck. Roll them all into one ball and you get Pangolin—Nick’s favourite brand of open source project; one that rolls a bunch of other open source projects into one lovely little ball. Pangolin wraps Traefik and Wireguard with some custom coding in Go and Typescript to present an “Identity Aware Tunnelled Reverse Proxy Server” that has some serious chops, able to be used for basic reverse proxying all the way up to enterprise level access control to your web apps.
Topic 2/2: UEFI, HP, and Me: A Bootloader Love–Hate Story
Speaker: Brendon Green
How one stubborn laptop taught me more about firmware psychology than I ever wanted to know.
