After a week off, Tom and Chunga are back! Tom is really excited about a new project he's getting started on. For the first time in over a decade, he's going to build his own servers! He's really interested in participating in some new networks and areas of computing. In order to do that at the level he wants, he needs some fairly powerful new servers. Sure, Tom could just head to the store or order some completed servers online, but no--that would be beneath him!

Although he's beyond thrilled to be starting on this, there's a problem, it's not going well.  In truth, it's not going well at all!  It seems that Tom is extremely rusty, the pain is real! Is Tom in over his head trying to build these servers? Is he going to need help from you and the listeners of The Hacks? Listen now to find out!
