Logical

Thanks for sharing!

Huh, I thought Alpine was mainly just used for Kubernetes pods and different container images. Do you actually use Alpine as a daily driver? How is it? I'm still quite new to using Linux as a desktop, so I haven't considered it for that.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense then. Thanks!

See what I'm still not getting though, is how there can still be unmapped or retired areas, if the drive has been filled with (meaningless) data? Let's say it isn't all zeros, but random data instead. Are there more physical blocks than is represented logically by the adress space exposed to the OS?

But if I fill a drive with nonsense data, whether SSD or HDD, shouldn't it be forced to write such data to all possible locations, thus overwriting the original data? Is am I misunderstanding something more fundamental about how this type of storage works?

I have been trying to understand what it is that makes it impossible to reliably wipe an SSD, compared to an HDD. Why wouldn't filling the drive with 0s work?

Glad that I recently bought a bunch of storage so that I'll be covered for a good amount of time.

I mostly agree with you, but I still don't think it's "worth the hype" even if you use it responsibly, since the hype is that it is somehow going to replace software devs (and other jobs), which is precisely what it can't do. If you're aware enough of its limitations to be using it as a productivity tool, as opposed to treating it as some kind of independent, thinking "expert", then you're already recognizing that it does not live up to anywhere near the hype that is being pushed by the big AI companies.

This is really cool of you! I don't want any of them but wanted to say thanks for being generous 😄

After all the shit I've seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

Never had a problem with the se-xxxx-wg-xxxx servers. Can view directly from Sync.

As to whether it's possible to get certain apps use specific physical RAM sticks, I am not sure, but that seems unlikely and would probably require some very low level modifications to your operating system. But even before you get to that point you'd have to physically connect them to your new motherboard, which will only work if there are both free RAM slots on it, and your new motherboard has slots for the same generation of RAM that your old PC uses.
