a cool feature i'd like to see for an OS would be a "secure delete" option in the right click menu that will delete the file, write over it with garbage data, then delete the garbage data.
linux already has a "move to trash" and "delete" option that simply deletes the file without moving it to trash, so the option to have a bit of file shredding could be nice.
i honestly don't know how that kind of stuff works 100% but you can get the idea i'm going for.
@beardalaxy Just ask Hillary how it's done
@beardalaxy make a function, script, or file manager context entry that does this:
bash function:
rms() { shred -n9 "$@" && rm -f "$@" }
sh script:
#!/bin/sh shred -n9 "$@" && rm -f "$@"
context entry should be simple enough, something like this:
title: "Secure Remove" command: `shred -n9 "%f" && rm -f "%f"
where %f represents ALL selected files
@beardalaxy I don't know 100% either despite having a degree in CS now (OS class was a pain). I think that would require creating a custom file-system on top of that as well.
I would love to have the ability to display graphics in the OS terminal, kind of like what Temple OS can do. Then you can do graphical stuff using whatever shell scripting language the OS uses. My first programming language was Windows Batch files (the shell scripting language for Windows). There are people who make text-based games with it. Imagine being able to make full fledged graphical games using a shell scripting language.
