roles/common: Don't ignore errors on Tarsnap key add
It turns out that I had the wrong key ID so it's no wonder this was
failing...

roles/common: Fix tarsnap package key
For some reason the key ID I had here was wrong. According to the
Tarsnap website the key ID is 0x6D97F5A4CA38CF33.

roles/common: Use a fact for base packages on Debian
This is safer and ends up being faster because all packages get in-

1b4e9ae87c roles/common: Install Python 3 version of pycurl on Debian 10
Debian 10 comes with Python 2 and Python 3 (at least from the ISO),
so we should prefer the Python 3 version of pycurl. We'll see whet-
her cloud providers like Linode and Digital Ocean ship with Python
3 or not in their default image.

Smarter updating of apt index during playbook execution
We can register changes when adding repositories and keys and then
update the apt package index conditionally. This should make it be
more consistent between initial host setup and subsequent re-runs.

roles/common: Ignore tarsnap key errors
Ansible errors on adding the tarsnap signing key because it is not
valid (expired a month ago). I contacted Colin Percival about this
on Twitter but he did not seem worried for some reason.

roles/common: Rate limit SSH connections in firewalld
I think 5 connections per minute is more than enough. Any over this
and it will be logged to the systemd journal as a warning.

roles/common: Use one task to remove Ubuntu packages
I had previously been removing some packages for security reasons,
then removing others because they were annoying, and yet *others*
because they were annoying on newer Ubuntus only. It is easier to
just unify these tasks and remove them all in one go.

On older Ubuntus where some packages don't exist the task will just
succeed because the package is absent anyways.

roles/common: Remove more annoying packages on Ubuntu

not using, like lxc, lxd, and snaps.

roles/common: Use a persistent systemd journal
The default systemd journal configuration on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu
16.04 does not keep journal logs for multiple boots. This limits
the usefulness of the journal entirely (for example, try to see
sshd logs from even two or three months ago!).

Changing the storage to "persistent" makes systemd keep the logs
on disk in /var/log/journal for up to 2% of the partition size.

roles/common: Limit number of SSH authentication attempts
The default in later OpenSSH is 6, which seems too high. If you can't
get your password correct after 3 tries then I think you need help.

Eventually I'd like an easy way to enable blocking of repeated login
attempts at the firewall level. I think it's possible in firewalld.

need to use the 17.10 "artful" ones anymore.

roles/common: Use blocks to tag children of dynamic tasks
When using dynamic includes, child tasks do not inherit tags from their
parents. You must tag the parent and each child task separately, or use
a block to group children and then apply a tag to a block.

See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html

roles: Remove unreachable "packages" tags
After reörganizing for dynamic includes these tags will never be reached
because the children of dynamic includes do not inherit tags from their
parents as they did with static imports.

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for firewall
Use dynamic includes instead of static imports when you are running
tasks conditionally or using variable interpolation. The down side
is that you need to then tag the parent task as well as all child
tasks, as tags only apply to children of statically imported tasks.

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for packages
Basically, when using conditionals or variables in your tasks you should
use include_tasks instead of import_tasks. The down side is that you now
need to tag all included tasks individually or with a block, unlike when
using static imports (tags are applied to all imported child tasks).

I would actually like to reduce this task to a single one that uses the
host's ansible_distribution variable, but Ansible 2.5.1 currently gives
the following error: ansible_distribution is undefined.

roles/common: Always use security.ubuntu.com
Vanilla Ubuntu (and Debian actually) defaults to using the official
mirror for security updates rather than country or regional mirrors.

Also, for what it's worth, Ubuntu mirrors didn't always sync these
security archives. I'd prefer to stay closer to vanilla Ubuntu but
also it kinda makes sense to get security updates from the official
source than a mirror (in case of delay or errors).

Import OS-specific vars from task in common role
We stopped being able to do dynamic includes from the playbooks around
Ansible 2.4.0.0 if I recall correctly. Instead we can create a task to
include the variables and make it always run by using the special tag.

For now the Debian and Ubuntu vars files are the same, but I will keep
them separate so that it is more flexible in the future.
