Iota: Rolling Hashes and FastCDC

No guest for this inaugural episode--just me this round.

I cover the basics of rolling hashes and FastCDC, which appears to be the state of the art in content defined chunking.

Mentioned in the episode:

8 bit hash bug
FastCDC paper
Perkeep (once called Camlistore, oops)
bup
rsync

I know the audio is slightly subpar (to say nothing of the content). But I think I know how to improve for next time. Finding my feet. :)
