FYI for FreeBSD the driver only supports block size chunks, therefore:

Unable to negotiate with 10.10.1.35 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss
While attempting ssh this error is generally due to mismatched versions of ssh, where an up to date version is attempting to access an older version
Add the following to your command :
The proper way:
ssh -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss 10.10.1.35The cheap way:
Example :
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss 10.10.1.35or ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss user@10.10.1.35
This can be added to the ~/.ssh/config file
Host my-server HostName 10.10.1.35 HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss

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.pngOutput:
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
