      In a billion years I’m probably irrelevant. But is the data on my system right still relevant to anyone even in just 20 years time? I doubt it. No passwords or tokens will be valid anymore. Worst case they see some family photos or old browser history

      Modern solutions for modern problems, ie, update as needed (and algorithms potentially invented)

      Alternatively hide it under the floorboards, with a nail over it and a hammer nearby as needed

          I was by no means saying this is an ‘after breach’ scenario. Modern solutions don’t save you retroactively, that wasn’t the point.

              Sorry, I don’t mean to say it’s unnecessary in the event of a breach, you’re absolutely correct there, I was just spitballing on the idea of encryptions without self-destruct buttons in majority non I-am-highly-targeted-by-CIA scenarios, how vigilant you’d have to be. With house warrants for instance, I was like “well, as the likelihood of them going being able to decrypt increases you should be on the look-out for alternative methods or harder encryption yeah”
