I am on Arch Linux and I want to disable this activity indicator light on a WD hard drive. I know there is a software on Windows for doing that, but since I am on Linux, how could I do it? This light is annoying when I am in a dark room.
Black pen. Black sharpie. Black electrical tape. Black duct tape. Black roofing felt. Black tar. Black hole.
Also avoid handling black holes without appropriate protection.
Would electro magnetic radiation erase it before spaghettification?
Need a time dilation device to use
Any of the available in aur?
Only available through YUM
I have a sheet of dark coloured stickers specifically for this task.
I’ve some black circle stickers that cover screws. Would be ideal for small LEDs too
Probably no one’s thought of this yet, but i’m going to say black electrical tape. If you put it over your eyes it takes care of all your devices at once.
If it moves and it’s not supposed to: duct tape. If it doesn’t move and is supposed to: wd40
Painters tape and a sharpie. Layered.

My favourite answer
Black electrical tape, work better than any software
Black nail polish. Two coats.
Now that it’s spring, your toes can be out in style instead of inside of your Arch BTW socks
Have you tried plucking your eyes out?
Black electrical tape
You could always Dremel it out. First try black electrical tape.
The age old solution of TAPE.
Blu tack, cheap, reusable, nondestructive, and blocks light better than tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_Tack
Tape.
Electrical tape. Black.
Activity lights are useful! Try a layer (or two, or three) of matte-finish transparent tape to turn down the brightness a bit.
If that doesn’t work, I recommend a bit of black electrical tape.

PS: thanks for the links, between this PIXHELL, GAIROSCOPE, or SATAn clearly air-gap is just a concept. Fascinating to go through his work basically using everything potential to go through. Great overview in https://arxiv.org/html/2409.04190v1
