I am giving away a shitty 128GB SSD, which was used with LUKS 2 for most of it’s lifetime. As far as I know, it’s good practice to secure-erase it, but I’m too lazy to reinstall the OS on it (I already did it once). Is it really needed?

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/your-diskshould do it in your case. And in 99% of cases.this is just gonna cause useless wear on the ssd. only do this to hdds
I think you mean doing that for more than once has no extra effect on an SSD. Shouldn’t we overwrite the unencrypted content for at least once?
