I’m giving Mastodon a test drive, in case Twitter implodes or otherwise disappears. Find me at: @KirkIsmay@mstdn.ca
20.12.2022 21:05Trying out MastodonI like Andy’s videos, as he does a good job of teaching you to think like a programmer. I also like the fact that he uses the either the native Python IDLE environment or pythonanywhere.com, instead of spending a lot of time on setting up a custom development environment. This makes it easier to learn […]

This how-to is meant for an intermediate to advanced linux admin to be able to repartition a droplet to their liking. It may be be possible to reinstall Debian and do full disk encryption, but the steps would be slightly different. There's little real benefit to disk encrypting a cloud virtual PC, as anyone with access to the actual hardware can copy the encryption keys out of memory.

I just realised this just resizes the original single partition allowing for extra partitions do be made, so I suppose somehow a second OS would need to be installed from within the original (now resized partition) could be completely encrypted with a fresh Debian? Like I said not a linux professional at all so I'm just brainstorming with the limited knowledge I have. Thanks in advance for sharing more if your knowledge and insight.
8.10.2015 01:28Comment on Repartition a Debian Digital Ocean Droplet by SirNice find! I am not quite the linux professional but it was really bothering me that there is no full disk encryption available at DO. Does this method allow for that or atleast something very close to that? I want to create a situation where when I request root password reset DO will have to tell me: Sorry Sir, you have modified your droplet so much that we no longer can reset your password for you.

These instructions may work for older Debian versions, and might work for Ubuntu. You may need to use some other method to boot a live environment than the Grml package I used. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-your-first-digitalocean-droplet-virtual-server On first boot, you can see […]
4.10.2015 18:58Repartition a Debian Digital Ocean DropletWhen I logged on to my Windows 7 computer this afternoon, I noticed this little gem down by my clock. It’s the new “Get Windows 10” app that must have come with the last batch of Windows updates. I created a gallery of screenshots of what to expect. All it does is reserve your upgrade, […]

I placed the order Thursday morning and it arrived Friday afternoon. They ship from Vancouver and Seattle, so it doesn’t take long. There are detailed instructions and video tutorials on their web site, which are invaluable during the repair job. […]

It’s signature based, sharing the same virus definition format as ClamAV. It will actually use clamscan, if available, as the scanning engine for increased performance. It can also clean up infected HTML or PHP files […]
19.7.2012 18:23Review of Linux Malware DetectThe main point is that most statistics on jobs or dollars lost to piracy are completely made up: http://www.freakonomics.com/2012/01/12/how-much-do-music-and-movie-piracy-really-hurt-the-u-s-economy/ I still think media companies should instead focus on making it easy and cheap to get the media people want onto the devices people use. Apple’s iTunes comes close, but it’s still hard to use if […]
16.1.2012 17:45Freakonomics on Music and Video PiracyI’ve always maintained that the solution to combating Internet Piracy is to make it easy and cheap for consumers to get what they want. Comedian Louis CK did exactly that and put up a site to sell a video of his “Live at Beacon Hill Theatre” for only $5. So far he’s sold 110, 000 […]
16.12.2011 19:17Making it Easier & Prevent Piracy TooI frequently pay at the pump at the local gas station. The other day I noticed that the wear pattern on the pump’s PIN pad shows distinct wear on the 0 and Enter keys (see photo). My guess is that people are frequently choosing 0000 as their PIN number. Hopefully, I’m wrong.
