   @lispi314 @Suiseiseki @coolboymew ssd's being harder to encrypt annoys me somewhat. i've made peace with it but there was a time i still tried to use platter drives for encrypted storage.
   
   the gaming pc doesn't even have a password though because lmao :blobcatdunno:

     何か?
     You just run cryptsetup on them the exact same way as you would on a HDD and then format them as either F2FS or ext4.
     
     Haha, fidget spinner drives go brrr.

     @Suiseiseki @icedquinn I'd be concerned with neither of those filesystems addressing data integrity. It means it has to be handled at the software level instead, which rather tightly constrains the set of programs one can use safely.

     @lispi314 @Suiseiseki hasn't been much of an issue.
     
     Suisekis reply is largely worthless because cryptsetup does work but completely fails to address the reason an SSD is harder to secure is because of load levelling and the drive controllers not allowing you to wipe old sectors with any certainly.

     @icedquinn @Suiseiseki @lispi314 SSDs aren't harder to encrypt. rather if you ever wrote unencrypted data to one and assuming you don't trust the firmware's secure erase functionality then the only way to reliably sanitize it is to physically destroy it
     
     it's an after-you-already-fucked-up sanitization issue not an encryption issue
