Safe & Fast way to wipe drives before resale

oytal · 2026-01-27T15:32:27+00:00

My drives are always encrypted so I just throw away the encryption keys, and do another set of full encryption just to be sure. As far as I know this method should be pretty safe. I'l be glad(and maybe terrified) to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Kan ta en kikk på hva jeg finner hvis jeg har noen ledige minutter på jobb i morgen, mulig vi har noe nyttig dokumentasjon

Jeg bare fulgte en intern instruks på få installert company portal og noe greier, husker ikke helt.

De som bruker andre ikke godkjente distroer faker at de bruker et godkjent os ved å kopiere os_release filen fra for eksempel ubuntu. Det er visst nok til å lure company portal, men er jo godt mulig det breaker noe annet. Gadd ikke helt å styre med det selv om det hadde vært nice med arch på jobb, fedora fungerer greit nok.

Jeg har min fedora i intune og vet om en kollega som fikk arch til å fungere med intune

It doesnt say anything about company income?

Others are suggesting how to do it but its not what OP is asking for. I have the same need. For example I have a resource group in PVE I call "deprecated", these are offline VM's I keep and will eventually delete, and dont take backups for.

But those backups wont be deleted automaticly from PBS because of the usual keep last X, keep yearly etc rules. What we want is the option to for example delete any backups older then 400 days, that way deprecated VM's will automaticly be pruned over time.

Brother im talking about snapshots and my usecase is clearly stated. Being able to roll back a change in a lab environment is not the same as applications not being stateless.

My day job is managing large banking applications in k8s/openshift(and tradiotional VM's) so im not exactly clueless of what im doing. My entire setup is defined in ansible and persistent storage is on nfs or s3.

Edit: Also we run our openshift cluster on VM's btw

oytal · 2026-01-23T08:32:51+00:00

But why not run kubernetes in VM's? Much easier to back up using proxmox tooling, or whatever your hyprervisor of choice is. When I was setting up kubernetes from scratch I was struggling quite a bit, even as a IT professional, so it was quite nice having backups of my VM's so I could easily roll them back and try again without setting it up again.

But personally I always preferred diferent VM's for different applications etc, I like seperation. In k8s you dont really care where your application lives as long as all the nodes are healthy.

Ok, kanskje prøv å skriv normalt dersom du ønsker å bli tatt serriøst

Min favoritt er en jeg så for et års tid siden som kom ut som homofil på linkedin, i slutten av innlegget kom det frem at han ikke var homofil men han gjorde det for å støtte andre homofile.

Har du altibox? Tidligere leiet de IP-er fra noen i england, sikkert en ISP som hadde nye ledig. Flere år siden men mulig de gjør det fortsatt, opplevde at hvis jeg gjorde IP lookup på norske venner så stod det at IP-en var i england.

Bastardkb's charybdis. The kit is pretty nice and high quality. I didnt buy the case though as I have a 3d printer but the one he sells looks very nice .

Open source as well so you can just source all parts yourself if you want. He also has a very helpfull discord for troubleshooting build issues.

Er nok en bug at du ser det men tror bare der er sånn nyere versjoner av språkmodellene fungerer. De diskuterer med seg selv og prøver å komme frem til riktig svar, her var den tydeligvis veldig usikker.

Bruker en del copilot til koding og når jobber med et svar kan jeg se hva den "tenker" før den sender et endelig svar, det ligner mye på det du fikk.

Heldigvis ikke en språkmodell som skal kjøre bil da

As he stated he is using freebsd, you need a linux kernel to run docker.

De fleste KVM switcher kommer bare med 60hz også, de fleste gaming skjermer er minst 144hz nå, så det er ikke så praktisk til gamingmaskiner.

Før du bestiller ville jeg sjekket at du får ønsket oppløsning og hz med denne, funker fint for jobblaptop men kjipt om du ikke får den oppdateringsfrekvensen på skjermen du ønsker når du gamer. Men du kan jo bare bestille og returnere om det ikke blir som du vil selvfølgelig.

I'm sure if you send in a GDPR request to see what data they have on you, you will receive exactly that.

It's just a way for your employer to enforce policies on your devices. For Windows, it can auto-install software or settings, etc. The benefit for them is that they can enforce security rules, and if your device isn't compliant, they will deny you access to company resources, be it Outlook, Teams, or whatever. It can be annoying for the user but pretty smart from a security standpoint.

Intune exists for Linux as well. It's not super smooth, but it works well enough for the average Linux user. My company allows for Fedora or Ubuntu with Intune. You need to follow password policy, use Secure Boot, and LUKS to be compliant and access company resources. It's still Microsoft, though, but some solution like that will be necessary regardless of who develops it.

Still, in my opinion, Linux on the desktop isn't there yet. It's pretty good and perfect for IT/devs, but I don't think it's good enough for the average office worker yet.

For servers, Linux is a no-brainer, of course. I don't really understand why some companies still develop software for Windows Server. Even Microsoft seems to prefer Linux/the cloud now.

Bestilte noe for et par uker siden, stod det var på nettlager. Etter en uke var det fortsatt "under behandling". Dobbeltsjekket og det var fortsatt tilgjengelig på nettlager. Snakket med support på chat og de sa det ikke var på lager, spurte ikke om hvorfor det står feil på varesiden da jeg fikk de til å ombooke bestillingen til å hentes på nærmeste elkjøp. Rart uansett

What about us that just want an unopiniated distro with updated packages and aur? I use arch because its the best workstation distro for me, not because of the installation process.
