Heh, security practices are not a rare shortcoming even among professional computer scientists (oh the horrors), and I suppose I expected slightly better but given his recent attitude and apparent mental state it's not that big a surprise. (I own and used the hardware encryption on those pro SSDs myself before but it's besides the point now)
See, he made no secret his relationship with his parents was strained, but I didn't know or remember his parents were that religious. I grew up in that same hell and it completely distorted my expectations of life. Too bad we didn't get to burn more crosses together.
That website was a different one now closed, and proactively updated. We might never know if he tried something like that or not. Forum exploits are a bit rarer in 2010's than in 2000's, so it could just as well have been none were available during that period; tbh, there was a time I couldn't hold back either (yeah that's where I'm coming from). So who knows except him? I can only estimate he was a better person after all, seems you agree.
It's fucking scary how similar our lives were. Such coincidence. Damn.
