dd'ing old drives (the ones that I didn't smash up)
@cwebber
You shouldn't fill the drives with plain zeros (that doesn't really destroy the information), but with random bits, e.g. using symmetrically encrypted zeros.
Or use `shred`.
@amiloradovsky Yeah I've used the dd while luks-encrypting over a temporary luks volume which works pretty well
I use "dd"'ing pretty generally as a verb though
