Tomorrow on HN: "Powering air-gapped computers remotely using some spare copper wire and a bit of python..."
There's a reason the old go to for secure deletion was throwing your hard drive into a wood chipper... (though that's bad for the environment, please don't do that)

I guess it's pretty bad for the wood chipper too.

We had mandatory registration at restaurants here when they were still open. Some had paper forms, especially initially, others used web forms.
People were worried that it would be easy to grab the filled out forms and get a restaurant's guests' phone numbers and addresses (and it probably was). Predictably, one of the rushed web forms had non-existant security, making it easy to get all restaurants guests' phone numbers and addresses.

I find persisting data to /dev/null is very effective for highly secure and consistent data storage requirements. It’s also very performant.
Edit: Nobody else ever gave it instructions that went counter to mine, either. Security vulnerabilities are 100% non-exploitable without power. I should probably start an anti-APT business with that knowledge.
