/etc/motd is what gets displayed when you log in over ssh. there's a thing called tiv that will help you make nice login images.

1. find /etc/ssh/sshd_config, set PasswordAuthentication to yes
2. sudo service ssh restart

1. generate keypair. You'll have this done if you set up for git. (note to self grab that article from github)

2. touch /home/serveruser/.ssh/authorized_keys; chmod 600 authorized_keys

3. cat clientid.pub >> /home/serveruser/.ssh/authorized_keys

sudo journalctl -u gitea | tail -n100

people act like dd is so fucking difficult, it's not. (probably need root for most of these)

1. double check you have the right one: lsblk. today we're saying our target drive is /dev/sdb. be aware it will let you try, even if there isn't enough room on the disk.
2. drive mounted? unmount it: umount /dev/sdb*
3. make a filesystem. mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb. mine complained that there were already partitions on it, but let me proceed if I used -I.
4. sudo dd if=name-of-iso.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress

i have a disk on /dev/sdc that I'm formatting for 1 big file system.

1. lsblk - find the one you want
2. sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
3. o - give it a DOS label.
4. n - make a new partition
5. p - primary
6. [enter] - default start block
7. [enter] - default end block
8. w - write changes.
9. sudo mkfs.ntfs -L MyStick /dev/sdc1 - make an ntfs filesystem, tell the device its Label is MyStick.

i bet if I'm looking up the bootable flash drive commands I want this: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup#Debian--Ubuntu
