Damn, tonnes of #ssd #storage loses #data on random #power #interruption - despite claims otherwise! https://twitter.com/xenadu02/status/1495.. I think this makes a really good case for the #pineflash #project (which is currently stagnated).

Huh, not even #backblaze has a very good #solution for #erasing an #ssd https://www.backblaze.com/blog/how-to-wi.. They recommend to #encrypt your data, but it's entirely possible your #ssh key or #password is still #unencrypted on a reallocated block. I proposed about 6 years ago to write a wiping tool but nobody took me up on it... You can use #smart data to predict wiping coverage, etc.
Hmm, looks like the #scaleway #cloud centre has been caught selling #server #ssd 's on the side and got caught with their trousers down: https://blog.scaleway.com/incident-secur.. That would affect this server for example, if a similar incident would occur. I think in the future I will be looking for a cheaper provider anyway if I can't find a #baremetal solution at the same cost.
