  • In my experience it’s also very very hard to wear out an SSD. It’s limited, but mostly the limit is very very far away. I treat those warnings as largely fud. Most common failure more seems to be that the controller in the drive dies for some reason and the drive just goes completely dead and never gets detected again. There won’t be warnings from any smart values either.

    Or the drive is just replaced with a bigger faster one, maybe on a different bus/connector or something, and forgotten in a drawer or a box somewhere.

    Naturally it’s still worth trying to enable trim and limit writes if there’s no downside. It can only help in case the drive does get an exceptionally long service life. But I’d say use it while it’s still useful and keep fresh and verified backups.







  • I’ve mostly only worn “barefoot” shoes for a decade or two. Vibram and Vivo, mostly. Used to use kind of zero drop shoes even before that. I hate clompy soles and ankle twisting heels and wear the minimum that I can get away with.

    The only exception has been kind of combat boots or such that I wear for dirty work or places where there’s particularly hazardous stuff on the ground or high probability of sinking in mud or water or slush (forest).

    And formal dress shoes once in a blue moon. There seems to be some options for that these days, but it’ll be a long time before I need a new pair.
