Screen recording can use webm as their format, it can be more simple to use a gif to embed into a website or forum, than adding scripts to host different video format.

In this case I grabbed a screen record of the progress for writing zeros to a hard drive with dd

Use ffmpeg to convert webm to gif:

First create a pallet:

Move into the directory which the webm is located, or type in the path

Where ‘dd.webm’ is the screen recording
ffmpeg -y -i dd.webm -vf palettegen palette.png
Output:

Then convert the webm to gif:
ffmpeg -y -i dd.webm -i palette.png -filter_complex paletteuse -r 10 dd.gif

This is what I ended up with, looks like any image of any alien on the interwebz, as if shot through a potato, some tweaking of the command is in my future. None the less.

Write zeros to all sectors

Use the command ‘lsblk’ to find the drive you wish to erase

I’m using ‘dd’ to erase things

In this case I’m torching sdb

Only use status=progress if you care it’s not necessary
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=12M status=progress

Remove old kernel images that are cluttering the system

Most of these errors are due to low or not enough space left in the root partition.

If you are using a Debian flavor:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Inform grub whenever an old kernel is removed:
update-grub

Remove the un-used kernel config files:

These will be the files pre cursed as ‘rc’ where installed kernels use ‘ii’

… As well as files no longer used or required due to dependencies

This command will detect, print, and remove left over cruft from previously installed packages or scripts, that have been removed or updated.
sudo dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}')

You can re-run the following to view the installed kernel(s):
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
