PSA: on 6.5 at least, don't use fx exercise to get rid of data

RE: PSA: on 6.5 at least, don't use fx exercise to get rid of data
I'm using drives that are 70 plus gigs usually.

It takes forever even doing the sequential and I've never actually had it erase data. Maybe I'm not doing something right but yeah, how I would do it if I could fix the miniroot would be to have a /dev/zero type device that can just sequentially blast zeros and then mkfs.

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.
