Data sterilization

TODO – split this into three documents: file, partition, drive

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.

Humans are cloned into soldiers, and one obsoleted model survives disposal, discovering humanness during his abandonment.

Gritty and intelligent.

Vampires and ~~lichen lychen lycan~~ werewolves continue their centuries-long war, but the werewolves seek to gain the upper hand in hunting down a particular human.

A great movie which would be well-loved except for the unexplained, unnecessary and horrifying coloured contacts and occasional plot holes. Oh, and a more convincing main bad guy. Hot actors and convincing characters.. that about sums up my expectations for bubblegum action movies like this.

I have two versions, but I seem to have misplaced one. =(

Genius + Programmer = Hacker

(on Wikipedia · Hacker culture)

A broad concept applied to a person who has the hobbyist spirit to tinker.

This is a large topic which I have plenty of notes on which will eventually find themselves here.

A “hacker-type” is an individual who displays characteristics of or is in the early stages of being a “real hacker”.
“Real Hacker” is a rare title given to individuals with notable skills as a hacker.

TODO – I have a large number of notes associated with this article

2017-10-31 – This was a rambling-but-interesting piece I wrote some years ago. Enough time passed that I forgot I had written it, but its core concepts remain familiar.
