As far as my computers revealing potentially embarrassing information goes, that is unlikely. I use some pretty high grade encryption protected by a complex passphrase that would be difficult to guess or brute force. The only easily accessible item that would remain would be my writings, i.e. short stories and forum postings. My stories have been posted in numerous places over the years and have been routinely stolen and re-posted, or used as click bait on porn sites. It is likely that various individuals have or will draw the connection between "Dingo Jay" and my RL identity, if they haven't already. I am well known in various circles for rather outrageous and/or extreme writings on diverse subjects. Each genre under a different pseudonym, obviously!
My furry companion(s) are relatively safe; only one exists currently and the person I share my living quarters with is rather fond of him. (As is that person's dog!)
That leaves notifying the community in the event of my passing. At one time, I had a list of several emails in a conspicuous place on my computer (unencrypted, of course) with instructions to send notice of my demise to everyone on the list. However, the list is hopelessly out of date; I'm pretty sure that some of the individuals involved are themselves dead. Being that I'm in my mid-60s and not in the best of health, it's something I should consider updating. BTW, none of the zoo forums or other questionable sites that I frequent are bookmarked and my browser does not keep history. The cache is stored in volatile memory.
