He was removed from the website 20th of September and I actually mentioned this at the time but assumed it was because of monetary constraints.

You have a changelog? I mean, I do that, I've got some programs that convert various online inputs into normalized and diffable text and then commit it to a set of git repos that I can diff through, but I didn't know anyone else did something similar.

theres probably a more tech literate kiwi that can explain it better (or say im wrong), but because of wear leveling its impossible to fully "wipe" an SSD. However you can easily destroy data on a HDD

Can't you destroy an SSD using a grinder? It's just like smashing a hard drive with a sledgehammer.

All good SSDs are intrinsically encrypted. You secure wipe it by resetting the encryption key.

Yeah, but that's all closed source and who knows how well it's implemented. Most consumer drives' firmware is pretty much copypasta trash. A study I've seen suggests wiping the whole drive twice with noise from /dev/random and then putting it on a shelf (under your physical control) somewhere in case you want to use it again. If you're paranoid or whatever was on there is highly sensitive you do the random wipe and then just smash all the chips and then there's no getting anything back.

There's a reason that certain companies that deal in certain types of things still shred hard drives after wiping them; physical destruction is the best way to handle it. Sure you can dban and degauss an SSD before you wreck it, but they're generally harder to destroy as you can possibly still recover stuff off a partial platter. But SSDs, namely the M2/NVME types that get talked about; just get some decent strength metal cutters and be sure to cut along the actual memory blocks. Unless some new stuff has come around, not even the FBI can reattach those and get them to work.

Gentlemen, if your hairline does whatever the hell is happening here, it's infinitely more dignified to shave it all off. Yes, even for you, my fellow fatlards. You may end up looking like a thumb, but it will be much more graceful than the abomination above. Trying to make up for the thinning by letting what little remains grow long, reeks of desperation of the most pathetic kind. Do yourselves and the people looking at you a favor and just get rid of it all.
