This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So if there is anything on your computer, deleting it just destroys the file directory to it, they can find it still, you have to delete everything, then rewrite over it with new information.
shred /dev/sda
Hah. TIL you can use shred on device files. I was only familiar with using dd to wipe drives.
I recycle ewaste, and so I have boxes and boxes of old hard drives. My proc is single pass dban and then a 10mm hole drilled through the case and onto the platters.
This is for normal business eol hardware that I get from offices and warehouses, nothing sketchy.
If the client wants evidence of destruction before leaving premises, I skip DBAN and just drill the platters with a cordless drill.
