sudo ./launch-missiles.sh --target=[REDACTED] --missile-count=4 --username=jbiden --password=1111

I like how you redacted the target but not the password – though I’m pretty sure the real password is alphanumeric and based on a family member: http://www.bash.org/?quote=244321

One of the actual big-P Passwords decades ago was actually

0000000

...so, a quasi-implicit-and-optional parameter.

That was what I was paying homage to.

Doesn't an icecast server already do what broadcast-server does? You post an audio stream to it and it relays that to clients. What am I missing?

That using TCP for streaming is insane. UDP only, in this context called RTP.

I don't see why latency matters here.

Wow! From an InfoSec perspective, that’s hard to believe but when you understand that every large group of humans has competing interests and large bureaucracies don’t have perfect chains of command, it’s totally believable. I guess it’s a high-stakes example of the difficulty in getting the right balance between security and convenience.

Edit: on a related note, a few years ago I was shocked to hear the story of how a simple accident while carrying out routine maintenance of liquid-fuelled nuclear missiles almost resulted in a devastating nuclear explosion in the American heartland: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/634/human-error-in-volatile...
