Use the fdisk command to find the device name for your USB Drive:
sudo fdisk -lInstall cryptsetup package on your system:
sudo apt install cryptsetupSet up a new dm-crypt device in LUKS encryption mode:
sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdbOpen the device and setup mapping with name provided (e.g. USBDrive in this example):
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb USBDrivVerify the new virtual block device mapper:
ls -arlt /dev/mapper | tailRun ext4 filesystem directly on that device:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/USBDriveMount the device your filesystem:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/USBDrive /USBDriveVerify the the mapper is properly mounted using the df command:

Need I say more?
I’m really interested to see how the LTT Linux experiment goes.
Mail-in-a-Box and other alternatives like mailcow.
Yes, there is some work involved to get Microsoft and Gmail to accept your email but after that, these self hosted services require minimal maintenance.
I’ll second that. Especially when compared to running (and maintaining) Exchange Servers for mail - linux mail servers are great…
I hope they don’t have issues and tell the world that windows is better. Hopefully Anthony will stop this happening.
I was a bit disappointed that openSUSE wasn’t on his list of distributions to try and I wasn’t real tickled about his poopooing on Fedora but that’s all good. I am just glad he is doing this and maybe after the NEXT steam survey, Linux will bump up to 2%.
That could even be the criticle mass point?
