> storage devices I'm getting rid of

When discarding storage, I do a random pass (even if the drive has always been part of an encrypted-at-rest arrangement, if only for the sake of habit), then a zero sweep, then it gets a filesystem created and filled with many copies of a few cat photos/videos¹² to give anyone running something like photorec a treat, then the partition table is emptied.

[2] If I'm in an evil mood the “treat” filesystem is filled with shock images and Rick Astley instead.
