NSA requires the use of a industrial shredder that can grind the components into pieces less than 2mm.

If you can’t do that, you should incinerate the drive at over 700 degrees.

As far as wiping goes, a 3 pass overwrite alternating 0s and 1s is good enough as long as it’s done over the entire drive, not just the partition.

BCWipe is good enough for this

Great app, just wish they had a radar.

Also for my American brethren that also use Freedom units, you might have to set speed, temperature, volume, pressure measurements to something our smooth brains can understand:

I had to mess around in Android/Samsung settings to give it permissions to run in the background.

I actually have a multiple choice question on my General User training that goes something like:

If someone attempts to elicit classified information from you, and a heated argument erupts, what action should you take?

A) Inform Company Security of the event

B) Provide a non-answer and defer or distract from the current line of questioning

C) Prove them wrong by giving them the classified information

D) A & B

So far no one has chosen C, thankfully.

Me @27 IT is boring and the wages suck, I lack human empathy so I’ll try Defense Contracting

Me @36 Well the money is great, but the risk of Engineers spilling national security secrets every day is stressful AF.

A horseshoe crab is fucking gnarly, bro. You see this brown, almost crescent/spherical object with a pointy tail skuttling along, innocuously along the bottom of the shallows, and moving at a decent pace. It’s so different from anything else you’d expect to see with the tides, and much larger too. Bigger than any crab, bigger than most fish that like to hang at that shallow depth. You might even mistake the two round black dimples in it’s carapace for eyes, and like the comical depiction find it…cute?

It looks fairly non threatening, and has a poor reaction time. So like any kid you pick it up by it’s tail, and then, “HOLY FUCK!” Nightmare fuel, as you look under it’s carapace and at the many legs writhing underneath like some Cthulhu fever dream.

You put it back down in the water and let it do it’s thing.

I’ve never witnessed it in person before, but my Mom who was an Environmental chemist for the EPA saw these things breeding once, and it’s like a giant migration to the shallows and shore for these things to engage in one giant orgy. Just absolute hundreds of them coming to fuck in the name of their Nameless God.
