Could you honestly tell me how I’m being toxic please. I think you’re misunderstanding me and I genuinely want to know why you think this.

Thanks. I can’t find anything like that. Here’s some screenshots of what the profile settings look like. These seem to be the whole sites profile/accounts options. Maybe there’s just no option.

Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why some people are downvoting me for not knowing Japanese though. I’ll try to see if I can find those symbols on the site, but so far the furthest account option I’ve been able to find is to change the password.

I’m toxic? I’m sorry, how?

I think they support it now in Firefox, but didn’t used to; they just don’t currently support it with Japanese as far as I know. I’m sure I was looking at a Chinese or French website some months ago and it worked with Firefox’s built-in page translator.

What is 消去? DeepL translate says it means “Elimination”. I’m not sure what you want me to do with this.

Fair enough, but I gave my reason in another comment, so you should read that if you want to know.

Yeah, scrubbing it like that is usually a last resort, I generally try to delete the profile, and if I can’t, I scrub it with unidentifiable information. If I already happen to know from the policy that they keep your data for a period of time after deletion, I scrub it before deleting.

Nah, I can’t get the Firefox translating to work. And websites not having a built-in account deletion option is the reason many sites offer (usually buried in their policy) the option to have it manually deleted, only if you directly contact them via email. I’ve done this with a few websites before and it’s a pretty easy process.

I didn’t say anything about them sending me emails. But yeah, if that was an issue I would have done that, so thanks.

It’s not good to ever keep random accounts abandoned. It’s just good security and often privacy hygiene that most people don’t practice. I already have over 100 accounts total across the internet, and am planning to skim that number down drastically. It’s especially important security & privacy hygiene, because if you leave dozens of accounts abandoned and the services experience a data breach, the fact that your data is now out there is partially your own fault, and since we’re on the english-speaking side of the internet, I doubt we’re going to hear about a data breach for some random Japanese site.

I don’t think the article was trying to imply that they weren’t already in use in electric cars, just that they would be better for them.

Was that the joke? I don’t know if I was misunderstanding, but I thought the loud crow was supposed to be a new Linux user complaining that the few-mentioned easy-to-use distro’s being too many options.

No worries. Thanks so much for uploading it. Glad I reached so many people before the time.

Sorry, what I heard about data sticking around after a factory reset unfortunately isn’t true. I’m sorry about that.

Thanks. Sorry for the hassle.

Hey, just letting you know that there’s less then 33 hrs remaining at the time of writing.

Hey, even though I’m not officially part of this project, I’m sorry to say that at least for the period of April 6, at 12PM to 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), the maintainer of the server mistakenly didn’t see that the server had run out of storage space. This means that any dumps made by anyone within this time period didn’t actually get archived in the end. The exact amount of time is unknown. This 4 hr period is just the least amount of time the server was down for, so for all he knows, it could have been for the entire day of April 6th up until 4PM in the afternoon (PDT). Again, even though this wasn’t because of me, I’m sorry about this. If you can, could you please make the dump one last time if possible? As the archive servers are now working correctly again.

I appreciate you’ve gone to this much effort. Thankyou. I’m so sorry if this affects you. Because your message is 13 hrs ago, I will assume that you weren’t affected by this, so you likely don’t have to worry:

There was an announcement on the Discord by the maintainer of the server which the entire archive is stored on. He announced that he’d accidentally not noticed that the server storage-space had run out, from all the dumps being made. This means that for at least 4 hrs, all dumps made by contributors were not being received, even though they thought they had been. Here’s the screenshot of the post.

So the servers were first overfilled starting April 6, 12PM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT); and was fixed by the server maintainer at 4:08PM (PDT). However, all he knows is that the full amount of time the server was having this issue was “at least a 4 hrs”, so it could have started some hrs prior to 12PM; it could have even been the entire day for all he knows. I know this is annoying. I’m not officially a part of this project, I’m just spreading the word, but I’m still sorry for you if this affects you. If you think you made your dump within this time period, you will need to make the dump again. Otherwise, if you made the dump prior, but on the same day, it might be worth re-dumping, because your original dump may have not actually properly uploaded due to this mistake on the server-owners part.
