The problem is is that I severely doubt that there’s anything of value on it. Have you any idea how many disks are full of banal static?

> No, we only use Jellyfin via browser.

Three. Three emojis, used in headings as a bullet point.

It is perfectly plausable for someone whos job is to write technical documentation and promotional material would punch it up with a couple 'mojis.

Every single release uses the same format with the same 3 emojis. You’d know that if you’d clicked “releases” and had even a modicum of curiosity.

I wonder if theres an argument for an automatic down-scaler after watching it for retention, but tying it to the original torrent file at the same time.

the best bit was the third time I was explaining what I had done to get a previous ban 🙃

if its encrypted at rest, it doesn’t need it.

My 15 year old reddit account is gone because I said “Peter Theil should be turned into soup” three times.

Fuck 'em.

How does the removal process work? Self-administered?

So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn’t be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.

I bet what you were handling wasn’t -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.

Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There’s all sorts of drives that shouldn’t be out in the wild, out in the wild.

I’m a little surprised there isn’t buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.

Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they’d be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.

I can tell you right now that not everything that goes to recycler and gets a cert even gets wiped.

Someone, somewhere said it was, therefore, the box is ticked.

And this will remain so until there isn’t an economic imperative.

the fediverse is frustrating like that.

I consider if you’re typing words into a computer the CIA is reading it. Its a generally good idea to assume everything is already compromised.

They’re currently snarfing all the encrypted data to later decrypt it when the technology becomes possible, betting on quantum computing to break our current encryption technologies.

Its the only explanation I have for why AI needs disk storage. They’ve already indexed the internet, no?

Also, impressively, it ran like butter on a HTC ChaCha about 10 years after that phone was relevent, and was a joy to message on.

Bad link

“Going to talk to my mother and being updated about all the extended family goings on” is a valid option.

Facebook and publicly branding yourself is for feeding bigtech pictures of you and your loved ones faces. Don’t do that.

Discord is by far worse. 1bn in VC funding and all that Nitro and it still fucking sucks ass.

It also enables far more of the “discord moderator” stereotype user behaviour.

At least telegram runs on garbage and doesn’t require 4GB just for electron to sit in my system memory like a fat pigeon.

Some people have access to corporate cast-offs, so there are some people sat on massive supplies of used gear… It all disappears somewhere eventually 🤭

If I never have to hear Tim Sweeny’s stupid opinions again, Disney can have it.

You clearly aren’t getting it and I checked the rest of your messages, so I’m rescinding my benefit of the doubt. Last comment.

I’m not sure how I’m supposed to access that community

If it dries a little and “peels” off from somewhere deep inside… and the relief that comes with something 4" deep in my sinuses being dislodged is one of lifes great moments.
