Increase relative humidity in your air. A wet towel draped over a radiator will do the trick just fine. Re: Data security: On SSDs a simple discard of everything is enough to catastrophically destroy all data. No hackerman is going to recover anything from it and state-level actors probably won't either. Secure discard if you want, but it's overkill. On HDDs, one overwrite with zeroes is enough. The last time anyone credibly described an approach for restoring from a single pass of zeroes was when hard drives were gigantic. In the 80s or 90s. Zeroes work fine for SSDs as well, but it's slow. Your threat model is someone running photorec over your drive, which will recover pretty much all your data if you just format it and requires a level of expertise attainable by 10 year olds.

I was meaning to ask about that, because it seemed counterintuitive that you could recover data once it had been overwritten, let alone needing to do it hundreds of times.

The basic principle is that a zero and a one are slightly different physical sizes on a hard drive, so it's possible to tell the difference between a bit that was once a one and was now a zero, and vice versa, so a single overwrite with zeroes (or even zeroes then ones with a sensitive enough process) would still leave enough of a ghost of what was once there to be detected.

you use too much heating in conjunction with too good insulation, probably electric heating, in your home. it's dropping the UK's natural humidity levels below the point they prevent static discharge - i used to get shocks constantly in canada and never do here. a humidifier would solve your problems, although it might introduce new ones.

Overwrite SSDs, always. Figuring out the firmware lied to you after you've lost control of the device is bad. To credibly describe an approach for restoring from a zero pass is easy. But it increases the difficulty from it requiring a 10 year old to requiring a very well-funded expert with specialized gear. goddamnedtwisto posted:The basic principle is that a zero and a one are slightly different physical sizes on a hard drive, so it's possible to tell the difference between a bit that was once a one and was now a zero, and vice versa, so a single overwrite with zeroes (or even zeroes then ones with a sensitive enough process) would still leave enough of a ghost of what was once there to be detected. Theoretically you can toss the hard drive in a shredder, then toss the shredder and the hard drive into a volcano, then drop the mother of all bombs on it and still recover the data. One of those things where you got to know what you're defending against, because perfect security is impossible. What if you're actually just a brain in a jar, imagining the security measures?

This is a thing I know about. It's dry as hell here in Ottawa because it gets so cold, then you have to have the heating running all winter which dries your indoor air out more, then you have to run your AC in summer which does the same thing... So we got a humidity meter and a humidifier. I can tell if the humidifier has run out of water because I start getting static shocks when I stroke the cats. Typically this is causes the humidity to drop to something like 30-35%. Thing is, humidifying your home to keep the internal levels at 40-50% is actually good generally for respiratory health and also for combating dust mites. If you overhumidify then you can have issues, but humidity sensors are cheap. Just make sure you don't go much above 50% and you'll be reet.

Realistically, for the ultra, ultra paranoid, heating it past the Curie temperature for the magnetic medium of the platters then smacking it with a big old hammer would also do the trick - completely melting it would also work, of course, but that's not something you could do in your back garden with a disposable barbecue and a leaf blower. * Well they leave the kit there and let you get on with it for obvious security reasons, but what you *should* do is build the degausser and disintegrator yourself to ensure David Copperfield doesn't get involved and do a switcheroo on you.

Surely by that point it's a lot easier to just use thermite. You can even make your own powdered aluminium from kitchen foil and a rotary tumbler and your own rust from scouring pads and a lantern battery in case you're worried that reptilians have replaced all the chemistry.

When chucking old hard drives out before, apart from deleting everything, I've deeply scratched them with a big nail in several places making sure to cut right across from the centre to the edge and run a magnet over them. That's probably sufficient to deter anyone other than Abby Sciuto from trying to get data off them.

Bobby Deluxe posted:How would that impact us if my wife has a bunch of money in one of them Vanguard things? Not a huge abount, like half a month's wages in case the dog explodes or something. Not sure what you mean by "one of them vanguard things" so I'll guess you mean Vanguard Life Strategy fund held in an ISA? If so you don't want your emergency fund invested in anything as you might need it the day after the market drops 40% or something. Best idea is the keep your emergency fund (3+ months of wages in case of losing job is a good target) in a simple current account. Santander 123 lite is ok as it pays a bit of interest but also cashback on certain bills. It has a £3(?) a month fee but you can make that back on cashback. This is a good flowchart to follow, although the green optional bits are essential imo: https://imgur.com/BfHzwr9
