New app?

I've had a dead man switch account for more than a decade, with various levels for periods with no connectivity.

I've even upgraded so I can "check in" via text message now instead of having to log into my account weekly.

/45 days after my death, my relatives will know what I really think about their moron asses.
/20 days after, my root pw'ds are sent to those I trust so that I don't have to worry about someone finding my dirty laundry, so to speak.
/10 days emails are send to people who agree to be on the list, and they can override the sequence if I am just in the hospital or jail or something and I can not contact the server.

Nice. Do you own the server or is it hosted somewhere?

"To my mother-in law - you religious Facebook postings were so numerous and banal that I had you on Ignore. I really think that because my wife is so much nicer than you, that she is really adopted and not your blood daughter."

I personally would rather let people know what I think of them while I'm alive. But if you get some perverse thrill out of thinking, "I can't wait until I'm dead so so-and-so will really know what an asshole I think they are" then good for you, I guess.

Does the App include a Chinese girl with green eyes?

Sounds like "Daemon." Good read if not a little over done.

Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I'll be back.

How about an app that deletes my browser history and porn bookmarks after I'm dead?

I couldn't give a fark about sending messages to people.

Anything worth saying is worth saying out loud and directly to the intended recipient. Good, bad, indifferent.

I'm not going to be one of those idiot ghosts tied to this world because I'm carrying some sort of grudge, or because I never told my kids I love them enough.

No, I'm going to be tied to this world because if I were to die, the android overlords would resurrect my ass to fix the bugs in the code I've written.

My plans for my own demise are quite simple, I don't have plans. I don't give a rat's ass what happens after I die. If somebody finds my 'dirty laundry' as Shadow Blasko puts it it would probably be my wife, and she already knows about every single skeleton in my closet anyway.

This is an interesting idea but I would hope you would tell the people in your life how important (or not as the case my be) they are to you before you kick the bucket.

This also sounds like "P.S. I Love You."

The people I would want to say something snarky to in death, I just don't talk to. I would rather die with whatever they have on their chests left unresolved.

As far as a dead man's switch, I have thought about giving out a limited group secondary administrator / root account credentials... which have login scripts to delete all the pr0n.

I'm going to be dead and none of it will matter anymore. How passive-aggressive does one have to be to insult supposedly grieving relatives? As if they'll care what you really thought of them anyway?

Also, have fun with my computer. It's not like I'm Enoch Root over here. And I'll be dead.

Sorry, my "be be" app malfunctioned.

Since I'll be dead I won't care, but I would have it post something like "Hey guys, most of you know by now but for those who don't I'm dead. This account will be deleted soon, so grab whatever pictures you don't have but want from my page while it's still active. It was a fun ride. I would say 'It sucks to be me' but I'm dead, so it's neither good nor bad for me. I simply no longer exist. It sucks to be grieving, though, and I would really want you to find solace where you can. Think fondly of our good times, angrily of when I was a prick (which was more often than you're now willing to openly admit given the circumstances, I wager), and know that while I was alive you all meant something to me."

I'm plenty passive-aggressive in life, so no need to call anyone out about how I feel about them. I'd rather go out with something resembling dignity since I have had so very little in life.

You have an extra 'd' in your graphic.

I can't even get Facebook to stop 'suggesting' friends that have died. If I started getting messages from them, I'd be pretty skeeved out.

I Need something like this. Is it commercial or homebrew?

Twitter users label new app "morbid"

"Now I have seen it all! Morbid?" wrote user @ronbercume.


So I guess one twitter represents all of twitter now.

You can set it up for either. It is hosted on my domain at the moment as a plugin for the server.

Commercial, but I made my own modifications to it. It used to be called deadmanswitch, but I think it might have changed. .
