Once again I had #outage at Bitwoods #Mastodon server. And the same reason: Samsung EVO Plus 32 GB #SDcard switched to "write protected mode" after 200 days or 500 GB writes. It was the 3rd failing card (I still have 2 spares remaining) and the failing time is now pretty predictable. Maybe switching to bigger card would give longer life-time?
Luckily it was easy to recover just by dd'ing the old read-only card into a fresh new one and just reboot. No data loss AFAIK.
Ever tested a SD card to their very grim end?
They have.

So, labels for microSD cards ?
Can only find 13 x 8mm ones, which are slightly too big, seems 10x8mmm would fit better
Also bought some 8mm circle labels, but not ideal either...
To prevent systemd from destroying your Raspberry Pi SD card by constant 100% writing saturation of coredumps despite these being disabled, just because some Glycin HEIC thumbnailer is constantly segfaulting while you are browsing smartphone pictures, do:
Put Storage=none and ProcessSizeMax=0 into /etc/systemd/coredump.conf and do systemctl daemon-reload, delete contents of /var/lib/systemd/coredump
sudo systemctl mask systemd-coredump.socket
sudo systemctl stop systemd-coredump.socket
