  • You mentioned PGP already, but this is exactly what that technology was designed for. You can sign the post with your private key, meaning anyone with the public key can verify its authenticity, and sites such as GitLab make use of this for signing code commits to prove it came from the author listed on the commit. A scaffolding may exist utilizing PGP for blogging may already exist. You’d have to enter your PGP passphrase to seal the post. In fact, you may be able to take advantage of the exact mechanism GitLab and others are already using by publishing by way of a signed git commit, and displaying like a green lock or something on blog posts that are authenticated.




  • Because many people would take that suggestion and simply light the paper on fire and let it burn. This produces large pieces which are still usually quite legible.

    To make the paper burn to ashes as you’ve said, you have to burn it in an existing fire long enough for it to turn to white ash, and then it’s often still required to stir the ashes to break up any remaining large pieces. At that point, yes, it is thoroughly destroyed.


  • With either burning or pulping, you can simply flush the remains down the toilet.

    If burning, you should use an accelerant and make sure they are fully incinerated, and then stir the ashes to break up any large pieces of charred paper. Stacks of paper are notoriously hard to burn on their own, but if left in an existing fire long enough they will burn to ash just like wood.

    For pulping, an alternative I just saw on another site would be to mix the slurry in a blender to chop the pieces. That would certainly be faster than what I said previously.


  • Drop the black requirement and you could pulp them. Put the labels (as long as they’re paper based) in a solution of water and bleach and leave it there. Keep adding new labels as they come in, and stir the mixture like daily or something. They will start to break down into a mush. At that point you can pull out any mushed blobs of pulp and leave any larger pieces to keep breaking down.
