This Early Access pirate game [Windrose] was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing - A misconfigured database cache was driving writes of over 108GB per hour, but a patch is already live.

Did someone vibe code too close to the sun again?

It's still in early access and it's already better than most games Ubislop made in the past 10 years.

I'm slowly starting to believe the weak parts on SSDs are not wear and tear, but controllers glitching and dying. The two SSDs that I have lost, became goners overnight with unresponsive controller (first one lasted about 6 years, other one about 4), and few days ago a friend of mine also lost his SSD, the service told it's the controller.

What brand? I've never lost an SSD.

Brb, better go back up my data now...

Samsung 860 and 870. Interestingly enough my very first SSD (840) is still alive. The thing is ancient and has a power on time of 1146 days.

This article is just an repost of a repost of a repost of a few questionable reports. I'm betting that a huge factor in the disk writes were that the game wants a LOT of memory (mine was using around 25GB) and people with 16GB were having their swap trashing their drive.

"Viberose" seems like something I'd gift to a lover before a long work-trip, to keep them humming happily while I was away, NGL.

"Vibarus" just looks like a peen pill, but that vibe-coding Icarus probably needed one. 🤷🏼‍♂️
