my friend Christopher is trying to learn linux and coding of various kinds, but
he doesn't have a computer that he can install software onto, so i'm
recommending that he get a VPS somewhere, install linux on it, and play with
web stuff and use it as his computer until he can get his own hardware back.
is linode a good choice? i'm not sure if he has funds to pay subscription fees
or whether he would need to find a free one, or maybe he can get started with a
digitalocean free giftcard if someone has one.
anyway, pipe up if you have recommendations for him.
thanks,

Jake, I have about 30 or so machines that somehow missed being shipped
out in our shipment to Haiti last Spring (miscommunication with my
comrades). They are a mix of *buntu 16.04 (beta at that point), 14.04 &
Debian Jessie, mostly PIVs or of similar vintage, configured for French,
but I would change that and update the box, if he is interested. 1-2 GB
RAM. Not very sexy, but certainly adequate to practice coding and learn
Linux, surf the net, do word processing, muck with basic multimedia,
etc.. I also have a few LCD monitors & whatnot. A lot of these machines
are the Dells that Daniel provided, but there are some Athlons, etc.
I'm not sure when there will be another shipment abroad, so if anyone
else needs an older desktop computer just get my attention.

You can use a PGP key to encrypt and secure our messages. To start using
it, you'll need to install an OpenPGP software on your computer. Below
you'll find a list of possible solutions for your operating system:
Windows: Kleopatra (http://gpg4win.de/download.html)Linux: GnuPG
(https://www.gnupg.org/download/supported_systems.html)
OS X: GPG Keychain (https://gpgtools.org/#gpgsuite)
Linux: GnuPG (https://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html)
Android: OpenKeychain
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sufficientlysecure.keycha…)
iOS: iPGMail (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ipgmail/id430780873?mt=8)
Once you set up PGP on your computer please import my public key into
your local OpenPGP Key-Manager. The valid PGP keys for my
biow(a)cubasoldarity.net & biow(a)riseup.net accounts can be downloaded
here: http://ebiow.yasashi.net/pgp/
An "easy" way to set up PGP on your computer is to download the free &
open sources Thunderbird email client (available on Linux, Windohs &
O$X) & install the EnigMail Add-On.

Looking forward to exchange snooping-free messages with you & making the
NSA spend mondo bucks to discover the secret of my bube's kartofel kugel
recipe.

Tell him to keep an eye on https://lowendbox.com/ for deals.
There was recently a $1.25 per month VPS but it's all sold out now. I've
seen $10 per year before as well.

He'd have to ask them. For the really cheap ones it will be hit or miss. He
could however get someone with a terminal program to install one on the VPS
for him:

Super easy. Just install apache2 and the php module and follow the
instructions.
