The secure erasure of data.
I’ve also heard this called “data sanitization”.
NOTE – This information IS BAD. Other methods must be used to actually securely erase hard drives, but this project was killed before I could investigate them.
NOTE – Sterilizing SSDs are a totally different topic than sterilizing hard drives. I wouldn’t trust an SSD to be securely erasable at all. For an SSD, use fire. Yes, this means that you cannot give, sell or return an SSD if it had sensitive data on it.

There are those who want to relinquish power, believing that others are more capable and therefore qualified than themselves to run aspects of their life or world for them. This could be ignorance, this could be laziness, this could be willful. Fnord is a related hesitation. Or I could be completely wrong.
I tend to additionally attribute fnord to concepts of doublethink and doublespeak.

Absorbed from old notes. This topic isn’t as interesting to me as it once was, but there are some interesting points on security I noted.. so it’s worth absorbing.
