Are there any benefits, in terms of performance or security in ‘wiping’ or overwriting an SSD before reinstalling Linux?

Yes, you remove the possibility of theoretically restoring the old data previously stored on the storage device.

And if so, what is the best way of doing it? I’m planning on doing a clean install of Debian 13

Select encrypted storage when partitioning, make sure you select the “Overwrite with random data” option.

I’m currently on Fedora and using encryption and will be using encryption on Debian too.

If it’s a full disk encryption on both current and future setup, there’s no benefit from overwriting.

Oh, cool.

Not bad. Which is saying something about a Google Play-distributed app.

YunoHost is also a good management system, though more focused on web services compared to DietPi which seems more… Everything.

Syncthing is great for syncing files and that’s about it. No groupware, sharing, off-site storage and so on. I ran Syncthing+DecSync for years for great groupware sync but it’s completely deprecated. I’m back on Nextcloud, though still use ST for syncing program files.

Have you considered NextcloudPi? Installs a full, SSL-ready (self-generated or LetsEncrypt) Nextcloud instance with a single copy-paste command in terminal/via SSH.

I’m the guy that gets offended on behalf of what ever I want.

Sure, the only times I get issues is when using a blocked VPN node.

I have been googling my life for a few years.

What are you using?

I “steal” the music and either have it locally on my devices or stream it through VPN from my home server.

Coincidentally, I use PipePipe to download the audio from YouTube music videos. Been using it more than torrents for quite some time.

There are so many things I would like them to fix before they add more half-baked stuff.
