In episode 2 we talk security. Forget password services and secure websites, you need Liam Neeson. Paul hacks apart Star Wars with a machete on air.

  • Chris is looking at Chromebooks for his wife.

  • Paul’s iMac has a recall because of… graphics card. It all sounds too familiar to Chris.

  • Chris has realized that his phone contains a lot of delicate information and maybe it is time to put a password on it. Check how secure your password is here. Paul’s phone confirms he’s been doing this for a while as we hear the lock sound during the show.

  • Advice from a web comic for password security? Put a password following this advice in the link above. Crazy secure, but hard to remember.

  • The idea of Last Pass is to only remember one password. This web service will store all your other passwords so you don’t have to recall them.

  • Prior to Last Pass emerging, Chris purchased 1Password to store passwords. Paul is the Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes so he remembers all his passwords.

  • Speaking of passwords, make sure to enable Two-factor authentication everywhere you can. You can use FreeOTP on Android devices to serve up the authentication codes.

  • Check out the new Cosmos and get your science fix.

  • Chris took in a classic recently, The Maltese Falcon.

  • Paul brings Liam Neeson on to the show. Chris hopes he becomes a regular to record messages for our listeners’ voicemails.

  • Chris plugs The Flop House podcast which spurs on some Star Wars rants.

  • Paul suggests the Machete Order as a way to watch Star Wars films.

  • Last episode we talked a bit on SSL, or secure websites. Chris wondered if we should explain how that works a bit more.

  • And if you understood any of our explanation, you can also look into web of trust certificates.

  • Paul uses the Charles Web Proxy to debug the apps he builds.

  • One of Chris’ friends shared a very long video featuring people getting freaked out by the virtual reality system, Oculus Rift. Careful, NSFW language because that thing is scary.

  • Chris recounts his experience using Google Glass.

  • Chris wants to use his Raspberry Pi to screen calls because he’s tired of telemarketing calls from charities. More advice on the subject can be found here.

Show Note: We’ve started live streaming the show! Tune in live every other Thursday. You can also chat with us on Freenode IRC at #montrealsauce.


If it Takes a Yeti to Bathe

MP3

Welcome back to the Sauce. Glad you fell off the wagon. Paul & Chris were on hiatus globetrotting on the hunt for crystal skulls.

Show note: This is the start of Season 2. We’re trying a slightly updated format where we split our 2-hour recording into two 1-hour episodes. So there will be a new episode a week from now! Horray! — Koy

How is The Walking Dead like Dukes of Hazard? How many impressions can Chris do? Are we podcasting in diapers? Find out in Episode 11 of Montreal Sauce!

  • Podcast tech Chris wants for x-mas. Please reptillian Space Pope, please!
  • Of course, Chris doesn’t need it because Paul has nabbed a Mackie Onyx 820i to mix the show and produce all the fart noise we need.
  • Why are the boys talking about Dogecoin again? The hip new thing is Solarcoin!
  • Oops, Mt. Gox has had some issues with Bitcoin.
  • Jonathan has given Chris a foolproof way to purchase things anonymously.
  • Netflix & Comcast striking a deal and you’ve surely seen the cries of foul. You can read more technical and legal jargon at the eff.org.
  • Silicon Valley wants to be its own state?
  • U.S. Olympic hockey did not bring home the gold and Paul thinks it is time to go back to the amateur competitors. It’s a great segue to a documentary about college sports called Schooled.
  • Chris decided to try StarTrekonline.com and quickly became a Lieutenant. By quickly, he means after hours of downloads and updates.
  • Helix is all about asking questions. Will they ever be answered or are we Lost?
  • The fellows are let down by the fact that Agent Coulson is simply Agent Coulson in Disney’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
  • Torchwood “Miracle Day” is season 4 of the Doctor Who spin off that both Chris & Paul missed.
  • Forget analyzing shows using the characters from the original Star Trek. Chris is now going to use the characters from The Dukes of Hazzard.
  • Paul hints that the Doctor Who creators may try to explain why we’ve seen the 12th Doctor’s face (the same actor) in a 10th Doctor episode and Torchwood.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is out and Chris & Paul don’t know a thing about it.
  • Godzilla trailer has premiered as well. Here comes the fade to blacks and ominous music.
  • Make Believe is a fun documentary following some teens aspiring to become magicians.
  • If you like magic, Deceptive Practices covers some of its history. Unfortunately, Ricky Jay really likes himself and Chris wasn’t impressed.
  • Orphan Black returns on April 19th. Paul hopes to watch season 1 and catch up.
  • Hey! My screen went to sleep! WiggleMouse to the rescue.
  • Raising money to buy a burrito via Kickstarter.
  • Chris defiles the show with a discussion on gas. Here’s some more Fart Facts.

  • He was most Goldblum in The Fly.
  • Hey, you’re not perfect and sometimes you Britta things. Thanks, Community.
  • Chris’ terrible George Bush impression is an impression of Robot Chicken’s Bush. Tacos rule.
  • Is Jim our imaginary editor or an extreme liberal?
  • Correction: The Fox skit comedy show Chris was reference was The Edge, not The News. Peep a Compilation of the 15 second “Right This Minute” fillers that aired between sketches.
  • Chris’ missing beard.
  • Mobile providers are going to allow corporations to sponsor your data? Sketchy.
  • Your PSA from the Saucerors: Net Neutrality is a big deal. Pay attention.

  • OWC kits to install SSD drives in your Mac.
  • Want to nerd out with stats on your Mac? iStat Menus is king, but there are plenty of free alternatives like MenuMeters and atMonitor.
  • Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency that doesn’t have enough rap songs about it, yet. YET!
  • Chris has a batphone in Canada? Well, that’s what he calls the OBi110 that he uses to call his mom in the states for free. No, really! He calls his mom occasionally.
  • dd-wrt Can breath new life into a router or unlock more features. There’s also the many flavors of Tomato.

  • In this week’s OPT-OUT, your heroes discuss Chrome-gate! Some great extensions for Chrome & Firefox get quietly bought out by ad companies that fill them with malware. Click this for more info. A list of the “infected” extensions is maintained here. So check your Browser!
  • Paul doesn’t have the resource hog Flash installed on his computer. Instead, he uses Chrome, when necessary, because it has Flash built-in. Another Mac option is Click to Flash for Safari.
