To be honest, Ed.
When I’m forced to edit text on my phone (eg. to fix a broken server while on the go), I ssh in and fire up ed. This is what takes the less screen space on my already to small screen, and because it’s line oriented the screen doesn’t bounce/resize/screw up when the keyboard appears/disappear.
I didn’t come up with this idea myself, this is straight from OpenBSD disk setup guide (which I personally trust as a good source of info) :
Encrypting External Disks
This section explains how to set up a cryptographic softraid volume for an external USB drive. An outline of the steps is as follows:
- Overwrite the drive’s contents with random data
[…]
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/rsd3c bs=1m
/usr/share/language/pack/français: Permission refusée
Well as I see it, it will just do a lot of write operations to your disk, which might eventually damage it if you do it a lot (just like any write operation done on a disk). However, this specific command isn’t bad per se, and is even technically a good thing to do for preparing to full disk encryption.
sudo cat is pointless here, better do
</dev/urandom sudo tee /dev/sd*
As a bonus it’ll scramble your terminal 💪
Nevermind I figured it out, you gotta use sudo for it to work properly !
Nevermind I figured what went wrong, I mistyped it initially ! It would have been much easier to copy paste it if it wasn’t a picture…
Fun fact, the command displays a nice cat picture in ASCII :)
Edit: screenshot
I just tried your command and it yields a lot of Permission denied. Is it expected or your command is incomplete ?
I tried but got an error:
:& : Command not found
Is it expected ? Did I type something wrong ? I’m confused…
Just like stabbing yourself if the eye is better with a fork than with a rusty fork.
pf gang rise up !
The thing is, this layout moves symbols to places that are much easier to remember (~ is altgr+n, ç is altgr+c, $ is altgr+d, parenthesis/brackets are next to each other, etc…) I got used to it very quickly because the new placement makes sense, and the fact you only have to remember symbols and not alphanum chars helps a lot. Definitely worth trying IMO.
Did you know about the New AZERTY ? I’ve been using it for a few years now and it’s definitely a great improvement, while remaining compatible enough with the standard one so you are not lost when you use a colleague’s setup.
IRC est loin d’être mort ! J’y traîne encore beaucoup perso. Il y a beaucoup de communautés sur Libera.chat surtout, mais également dans les communautés “Tilde” (genre tilde.chat). Après il faut reconnaître que ce sont en général des commus internationales et orientées tech.
Sinon en vieux protocoles, Gopher et Finger résistent toujours à l’extinction :)
Aaah j’aimerai beaucoup mais je suis trop engagé dans le soutien aux petits producteurs (de bière !) de ma région 🙃

Bonne année à la France décentralisée ! 🎉
Looks like you shouldn’t ask for anything at all, given that you cannot take a single answer without being a condescending jerk. I’m not affiliated to cyberia.is in any mean by the way just proposing a service that you could use to solve your problem if you were not too busy being a douchebag.
Keep in mind that using your own VPS as a VPN doesn’t bring anonymity. You’re simply replacing one IP tied to your name (your ISP) with another one (your VPS).
You hide your traffic from your ISP, and delegate it to your VPS provider.
This will be the same for your DNS. If you want true anonymity regarding DNS, you should use someone else’s service, preferably over encrypted channels, eg. cyberia.is DoT.
I personally use it as a forwarder from a box inside my home (along with others), and use this box as the local DNS when I’m home. This way I know that all DNS traffic is encrypted, and doesn’t leak anything to my ISP or VPS or whatever.
The real answer here.
