This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Step 1: Back up important files
Step 2: boot from live Linux USB
Step 3: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvmeX && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nvmeX Repeat as many times as you wish

If you have nvme use secure erase first.

Use a live Linux ISO that can run entirely in memory, and run step 3 in an infinite loop. Take the USB with you and leave the PC running.
