Usage:

./first10min.sh <username> [ssh_keyfile]

1. Spin up a brand new VPS.
2. Copy first10min.sh and your new user's ssh keyfile over (if using one): How to set up an SSH key: scp first10min.sh darkmage_keyfile.pub root@newvps:.
3. ssh root@newvps
4. chmod +x first10min.sh
5. ./first10min.sh darkmage [darkmage_keyfile.pub]

After running the script, you'll have to deal with 3 prompts:

1. The prompt for a new root password.
2. The prompt for your new user's password.
3. The prompt to restart ufw.

There is some commented-out code that would install the go runtime if you decide you need certain tools, like ProjectDiscovery's tool suite.
