Sup 'POS. Recently I've been having some health problems so I want to start planning for the worst case scenario. My finances are great (have been saving since I was 20; own a house outright in a terrific school district) and will easily support those I leave behind. What I'm really worried about is my wife or kids taking a look at my emails, web history, or even Slack contacts after I'm gone and discovering this private life I've been leading. God knows what they'd think about my posts in the cjs or catte threads...that certainly isn't the legacy I want to leave behind.

I mostly do IT work so I don't have much experience coding, but I know a lot of you do and have created some practical Raspberry Pi projects so I'm wondering -- does anyone have experience creating a 'dead man's trigger' as they call it? I'm not sure what kinda logistics are needed and whatnot, but I'm willing to spend some time on it to make sure it works. Right I have a password on my computer which could do the job, but some extra security would be great. Ideally the device would automatically delete my SA posts, Reddit account, Weird Tweets, etc. once I pass. Any ideas? Thanks!

google has a thing where it deletes all your stuff if you don't log into the account for x days and tells your friends that you're dead if you want.

This may sound like a strange activity to get involved in, but the latest hotness for the recently passed is, believe it or not, all things rotten..!? This all-encompassing immersing of one's oneself in the rottenness, or "rotting" as it is properly called, actually turns out to be a pretty amazing global phenomena! Yep, for some unexplained reason, for our dearly departed "rotting" is now where apparently all the action is these days!

And heck, why not, while it's a bit unusual of a hobby it's not like it it's really dangerous or hurts anybody.

So Let's all Just Keep on Rottin!TM, -- as they would say... if they could peel themselves away from doing their rotting for just five minutes!
