  • Download the live disc images of Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Arch blah blah etc etc etc.

    Distrowatch.com is a great resource.

    Take them for a test drive before you commit.

    If this is your 1st forlay into Linux and you just wanna ride, do yourself a favor and install Mint. It works, and it’s a great way to get into it easily and painlessly and operates (mostly) how you would expect it to coming from another OS.

    A hacker group in Seattle (GHI) years ago attempted to build secure systems on top of compromised hardware. Although different levels of security could be achieved, the overall outcome was No. You cannot build a fully secured system on top of compromised hardware.

    A VPS for this exercise counts as ‘compromised’ hardware.

    I’ve used Lets Encrypt for years and years, in fact it’s been at least 6?. LE with the encryptbot?, automate the entire process, and then completely forget about it until someone posts on Lemmy asking about it.

    It’s been long enough I’ve forgotten the proper names of the software and I would have to go back through my notes to recreate it.

    Just checked the logs and it’s fine.

    Don’t pay for shit.
