   Hi Maurice,   
      
   On 2026-02-16 23:46:33, you wrote to Frank Zappa:   
      
    MK> dd status=progress if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme1n1p2 bs=1M   
      
   Why are you unnecessarily wearing down your SSD cells with such a command?   
      
   There are commands to tell your nvme drive to (securely) "erase" blocks   
   without wearing them down.   
      
    MK> Awesome.   
      
   No, awful! ;-)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
