SSH No Matching Cipher Found With SSH to Older Cisco Gear

I've seen this error on recent SSH versions, including the OpenSSH used by OS X and others:

Unable to negotiate with 192.168.77.1 port 22: no matching cipher found. Their offer: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc

Several people suggest modifying your local ssh client config. However, I'd rather not use 3DES unless I have to. So, I created an alias and put it in .bash_profile:

alias ssho='ssh -c 3des-cbc'

after a quick . ~/.bash_profile

I can ssh with the alias:

ssho 192.168.77.1
password:

Of course, the best fix would be to update IOS on the Cisco gear.

Openstack Ansible Pike - Cannot Create Image in Horizon

There is a bug with OpenStack Pike deployments using Ansible. When you attempt to create an image in Horizon, you will see the following error:

Followed by this entry in the images list after closing this:

You should still be able to create images via command line, but Horizon won't work. 

There is a bug filed for this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-ansible/+bug/1730722

Their fix is simple: connect to the horizon container from an infrastructure node:

lxc-attach -n `lxc-ls -1 | grep horizon | tail -1`

edit /etc/horizon/local_settings.py

and change:

HORIZON_IMAGES_UPLOAD_MODE = 'direct'

to

HORIZON_IMAGES_UPLOAD_MODE = 'remote'

After that, restart the horizon container

lxc-stop -n `lxc-ls -1 | grep horizon | tail -1`

lxc-start -n `lxc-ls -1 | grep horizon | tail -1`

And simply wait a few minutes. Image creation should work.
