Oh look, another tech writer bites the dust, but not without a digital trail of comments, tags, and social media shoutouts! 🤖💔 Can we get a Wikipedia page for "Lives Lived Entirely Online"? RIP, Om, where "About Pages" and "Heart Journeys" meet in the cloud. ☁️

Myself and @sammarger talk about #machinereadablewishes at #oggcamp2026

A day of ups and downs in my email today 📤

Proposals for #republica26 all been rejected, sadly. Would have loved to talk about different topics with such a captive audience.

However me and @sammarger's proposal for #oggcamp26 has been accepted on the main stage! 🥳🥳🥳

While planning my NAS build, I had a sobering realization. My "Bus Factor" at home is exactly 1.

I'm going to spend so much time securing my data against drive failures and hackers but what about my family? If something happens to me, my homelab becomes a digital tomb that no one has the keys to.

I dug up this repo I bookmarked a while ago: eol-dr (End of Life / Disaster Recovery). It’s basically a framework for documenting your digital life for your loved ones.

Configuring a RAID array is easy. Writing a "How to access our photos when I'm gone" guide is the hard part. Probably, the hardest. But it's arguably the most important backup you'll ever make.
Hope it'll be useful for somebody. Just make a star and take a look later when you feel it's a time.

I have to say good on @protonprivacy for adding emergency access

Could really be useful for #digitallegacy adding a deadman switch like they have.

Interesting twist: My grandma asked Monday if she should opt out of Meta's AI training. I said yes – who wants a ghost-AI afterlife avatar? 👻🤖

A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine

Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection

Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?

In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?

Let’s discuss!

– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys

– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real

– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on

– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you 👻 🫢

From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?

Ah, the relentless march of content, where a plane crash becomes another #clickbait footnote amidst a sea of Swedish trivia and visa advice. 🚀💥 RIP to the Pirate Bay co-founder who probably didn't anticipate his final download. 📉👻

Japan says your passwords need an inheritance plan! Because nothing says "eternal rest" quite like Netflix still auto-billing your account. 🤔

Seriously though, great advice about digital end-of-life planning. Your family doesn't need the added stress of battling zombie subscriptions.

Do you have a plan for your #DigitalLegacy? We just launched our Legacy Planning Feature which allows you to create a plan for what will happen to your #archives when you are unable to manage them yourself. Planning ahead for the future is an important aspect of #DigitalPreservation. Don't leave your legacy up to chance, create a plan today.

Do you ever wonder how you'll pass on your #DigitalLegacy? Before the digital age, a family member could simply walk through the home of a recently deceased relative and find all of their photos or paper records, but that is no longer true or practical. As more people learn about and become conscientious about their digital legacies, they'll also need viable and affordable solutions to help them plan. Permanent is here to help you create, #preserve, and pass on your own digital legacy.
