      More like they become reusable. A lot of places that refurbish donated computers for people who need them are perpetually short on drives since so much of the hardware they get have the drives pulled.

        this is making my ttrpg group actually consider letting me host stuff for them and I'm unironically thrilled... so like, matrix is the way, right? Or should I be looking at mumble or something?

              I won't even give hard drives when recycling a computer, I pull and smash myself. Last set of old drives I cut in half with bolt cutters.

              This is not truly foolproof. Data can still be recovered from the spinning metal platter since it can theoretically be removed and put into a recovery device, even in a broken state.

              Im addition to that, hard drives/ssd's sometimes have small flash memory chips, from which data can sometimes be recovered.

              If you want it to actually be unrecoverable then you have to actually ensure all parts thay store data are truly deleted/wiped, which is more than just the core platter. Or just use encryption and throw away the key, since all data going through the tiny OS on these devices will be encrypted. Or just store them forever in a vault.

                          Bud, if you put that platter back together after I snipped it, you deserve every bit of data you get off it, 1000%

                            SSDs are cheap enough, no sense in using a 10 year old mechanical drive to save $30.

                              Yep, straight to Palantir.

                              In 10 years, when MAGA has everything locked down, and you complain about something online, they'll put out a BOLO, and instantly, the entire network will start checking every camera for your face, and within a few minutes they will have a timeline on your movements for as far back as they want, including every time you enter or leave your house. If you aren't in your house, they'll find you out there somewhere, and immediately dispatch ICE Apes to find you, detain you, and send you to the nearest work camp, where you will be leased out as a slave to some corporation.

                                I'm very interested in this question too. I tried Mumble but it looks like it does not support screen streaming which honestly is pretty good. 99% of my discord use since I stopped playing wow is just hanging around with 3 friends of mine and speaking about crap. We like to play or watch movies together and it's nice to be able to share stuff.

                                  My friend is an exec there. After reading this thread bugged him to buy my software that would protect this vulnerability. They confirmed data/file never leaves the user's device. Sounds pretty safe.

                                    You do know that it's bullshit? Unless they're incredibly incompetent they're lying to you. If the data never leaves the client then all the checks are client-side, which means it's relatively easy (compared to a server side check) to bypass those checks.

                                        Were you trying Teamspeak 6? The UI is different, but the functionality is on par I believe. Not open source, but at least you can self-host.

                                          It does it well, it’s just clunky. It works perfectly fine, and I recommend it over discord ang day of the week. Except Tuesdays. Tuesdays I recommend IRC.
