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.

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

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.

“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 🤭

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

I’m quite a fan of endevour, as its just arch with a pretty installer and they occasionally update the space backgrounds.

What software do you -need- to work?

Going into it with the mindset of finding the linux workflow instead of forcing your prior workflow is the path of (least resistance|greatest productivity)

Commerce doesn’t give a shit. The article is about commerce. Don’t be pissed at me for the way the world works.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I can’t be bothered setting up quassel.

I think this is an excellent idea, alas I don’t know anyone from lobste.rs and I just cannot be bothered with going on IRC in 2026, so I guess I don’t get an invite

Trade and inter-country cooperation and commerce weren’t being shaken down as hard before Trump.

When its just serving and gating access to flac files, it really isn’t that complicated of an application, and serving content is a known quantity with cheap tooling.

Just don’t use vercel, bro.

Last time I checked someone stole all their data and it was only 300TB.

Data is cheap. Even cheaper when its peer to peer.

Decades of nice safe cooperation and suddenly everythings fucked and now we can’t trust eachother.

Its what happens when you let the mob run a country and it runs around smashing everything
