Any archives of me would be so massive I doubt they'd be able to make sense of it. The only thing I'd particularly prioritize removing traces of is the fact that I came across a certain guy (and no shit I really did) while in a few places. No, not supporting the guy whatsoever, but he has an expansive legacy, only somewhat better than Dark Helmet.

Are you saying you found Kim jong-un involved in atrocities on the dark web? sorry if I'm reading between the lines too deeply but that's what I gathered from your comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I found him outside of it. He's out in the open in a lot of places, if you know where to look. He seems to confine those atrocities away from the open though.

My search history is permanently deleted every time I close the browser. So no, I wouldn't be embarassed at the 20 or so searches I did today

"JFC so many searches related to elisp and linux..."

I’m sure they’d be thrilled to look into my wanting better turn signals for my car and turn signals at all for my bike.

Assuming it magically can get my search history despite incognito, vpn etc I'd probably just ask them not to look at it, Embarrassing maybe but nothing that would get me in any trouble and anyone whose opinion I care about I trust wouldn't want to see it anyway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only a scrub would search something embarrassing and not delete it afterwards, or just use a web browser that deletes it every session

or they live alone and never share their devices with anyone.

or they live openly & freely and DGAF what other people think about their browsing history

But now you've put a song in my head 🀣

Big titties bitches

Oh shit, wrong place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

News-related stuff mainly. With a healthy dose of helldivers 2 questions recently. So, no, not really.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Sup peeps! Take a break, I'm not going anywhere. They don't pay you enough to stay in that van all day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nah. I'd probably delete a fair amount so they weren't embarrassed themselves though.

And I learned by watching the news in cases like Jared fogle, nothing can actually ever be deleted from hard drives & clouds. Even everything we've ever posted to Reddit and thought we deleted it, everything is always available somewhere for the experts to find.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Weeell, Jared was looking at cp which is illegal and unethical... that's a bit of a difference situation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Yes I know, my point is that nothing is ever deleted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Stuff can absolutly be deleted. If you overwrite the stuff that was previously saved there it's gone. The point is that cloud providers often just don't delete your stuff. And whatever you do your network provider allways knows what you search for.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do we know for sure that Reddit doesn't keep an edit history for comments?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Oh most social media probably keeps a copy. But your search history is usually stored locally, so it's possible to delete that. Your internet provider only has a history of all sites that where visited via your internet connection and is unable to backtrack something to a specific device.
