Delete yourself from the internet by pressing a single button

The internet can be a beautiful and horrible place at the same time, and it isn’t weird to sometimes feel like you want to leave — there’s wasn’t an easy way out, until now.
Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me, which offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks.
When logging into the website with a Google account it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links.
Every account it finds gets paired with an easy delete link pointing to the unsubscribe page for that service. Within in a few clicks you’re freed from it, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour.
If you’re getting tired of social media and internet-induced stress in general, it’s the quickest way to get back to a state of tranquility — and to be honest, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

Facebook uses 10,000 Blu-ray Discs to create 1 Petabyte cold storage


At last year’s Open Compute Summit, Facebook VP of Engineering Jay Parikhsuggested the company might consider Blu-ray discs as a medium for improving durability and cutting costs for its long-term cold storage efforts. Now, Parikh said Tuesday during a keynote at this year’s event, the company is actually doing it.
Facebook has built a prototype Blu-ray system capable of storing 10,000 discs and 1 petabyte of data in a single cabinet, with plans to scale it to 5 petabytes per cabinet. Blu-ray storage would save the company 50 percent in costs and 80 percent in energy usage over its existing hard-disk-based cold storage methods, Parikh said, and will provide 50 years worth of durability for data stored on the discs.
That’s not the only tidbits Parikh shared about the company’s cold storage efforts, though. He said that the first site is now in production and storing 30 petabytes of data, but a second will be coming online soon. Within a couple months, Facebook expects to have 150 petabytes of data in cold storage, which is just a fraction of the 3 exabytes each facility is designed to house.
One other nugget worth noting from the morning as it relates to Facebook’s innovation on the storage front: In order to save money over data center-grade SSDs but still speed up the process, Facebook is now booting web servers using netbook-grade SSDs, hardware executive Matt Corddry said.
