Wireguard VPN on OpenVZ VPS

There are a few tutorials out there for setting this up and while some worked, I found this one deep in a chinese github and its my preference for this kind of setup:

curl -fsSL git.io/wireguard-go.sh | sudo bash

ZFS remove and re-add same disk (use different disk labels)

To remove and re-add devices in a zpool, you will need to offline the disk, detach the disk, wipe the gpt partition then re-add it to pool as a new disk. This will re-silver the pool.

sgdisk -Z /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD100EMAZ-

Steps.

  1. zpool offline gdata wwn-0x5000cca273cf31b3
  2. zpool detach …
  3. sgdisk -Z …
  4. zpool attach gdata (disk-still-in-mirror-here) (new-disk /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD100EMAZ)

Netboot.xyz

Tiny bootable .iso that downloads liveCD images for multiple OS like Debian.

Windows Uninstaller tool

Came across Revo Uninstaller which seems to be very useful tool to make sure that all files and registry keys are actually removed from windows when you uninstall a program.
