NOT MINE
This is just a reference/bookmarked article from the internet i found interesting!
Death
I’m thirty now. Hoping to live to at least sixty, I realise that X-Day will happen at any moment and definitely not at the right time. Failure to prepare and leave no instructions behind is a surefire way to cause turmoil and tension among family and friends. I want to prevent that from happening.
This is a living document that will be continually updated. The contents of https://toby3d.me/en/death/ at the time of my death cancels any instructions discussed verbally or in correspondence. I last update it third February two thousand twenty-fifth year.
Will
I do not have any notarised will. Without one, the inheritance will be distributed according to Russian law in order of priority, from close to distant relatives.
Digital Inheritance
If possible, post a short notice on my behalf on each of the following social media accounts with a link to this page:
- Telegram: @toby3dRu
- Mastodon: @toby3d@mstdn.io
Add the same notification to the announcement block on my website to alert my audience.
Websites
Please continue to pay my hosting bills and keep the listed websites up and running. I am requesting that you renew the listed domain names for the Maksimum possible term, which is 10 years, through Cloudflare Registrar. During this time you will have time to archive the pages to WebArchive.
You can move all my stuff and sites to a single home server or to a different provider to save on rent and support, if that makes sense.
toby3d.me
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and costs nothing to maintain.
toby3d.ru
This old domain name is leased from NIC.RU and exists solely to preserve already published links redirecting to toby3d.me.
source.toby3d.me
This platform with source code repositories of my projects is placed on virtual machine of hosting provider McHost and costs me 4650 ₽/month. Archive all public repositories and extend its lease as long as possible so that users have time to fork or migrate.
video.toby3d.me
This PeerTube video hosting platform is hosted on a virtual machine of the hosting provider Serveroid and costs me about 3000 ₽/month. Export and archive the content to then shut down the instance or keep it active as long as possible.
tulpawiki.org
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and it costs nothing to maintain. Starting in 2023, I am gradually handing over the support tools to a trusted person. Contact him and let him know what happened, then transfer this domain and all rights to the TulpaWiki team and repositories on GitHub to him.
Passwords
My passwords, tokens and other authentication details for all sites are stored in the KeePass password database file. The password is known to my trusted contacts.
Communication
To receive calls and SMS during authentication in some sites you will need to get or restore two SIM-cards issued in my name: YOTA (in Russia) and Tele2 (in Kazakhstan). I pay their minimum tariffs monthly.
Remember that the number will be disconnected and released for rent by other customers if no calls, SMS or internet access is made through the operator’s network in the last six months. Keep them active until you have switched all dependent accounts to other numbers under your control.
People
Alyona and Alina must be invited. If they ask to invite any other of our mutual friends and acquaintances – let them. I fully trust their choice as my best and closest friends.
Although I am not officially legally married to Zhibek, I ask that she be treated as my spouse and invited to the ceremony as a member of my family.
Give my friends and my beloved all the help they need if they ask for it. If I can in any way take care of them after my demise at least financially, then do so, because that is what I would do myself.
Parents and other relatives are just as welcome to attend. The only thing I will ask of them is to refrain from politics and criticising my views. At the moment of saying goodbye all this will mean nothing, don’t upset or hurt each other more.
I was happy with every minute I spent with you, loved and cared for you as much as I could. I hope you don’t regret knowing me as I was and will occasionally remember me in some funny context.
The same goes for my parents, who raised and nurtured me to be independent and resilient, able to survive even in the darkest of times. I don’t hold any grudges, regardless of any disagreements or differences of opinion, because you are my family who somehow always want the best for me.
Sophia and the people associated with her are the only people I don’t want at my funeral. They’re dead to me. Their contribution to who I have become through betrayal and lies has cost me too much. Please respect my wishes.
Cat
Let my mates and lover decide together what to do with Rysya. I have full confidence in their abilities to treat her as I have loved and cared for the pet myself.
Artifacts
Music
Withdraw earnings from CDBaby streaming and bandcamp sales to PayPal and from there – into your accounts if you need them. Publish the drafts in a separate album with a description and a link about what happened in all platforms, even free ones, as a parting gift to listeners. Don’t limit my music to high price and fans in their creativity around mine. Allow my music to be copied and distributed.
Steam
Valve does not support or approve of third party manipulation of the deceased’s library. So you’ll have to secretly entrust it to someone so that members of my digital “family” on the Steam platform will still have access to my games.
Media and messages
Export and archive everything you can reach: through official export tools like Mastodon and Google Takeout, through contacting platform tech support under GDPR, and on your own by direct copying like Yandex.Disk.
I’ve set up “Google Just In Case” in advance: it will automatically grant access to my Google account to my mum when they records my inactivity for six consecutive months.
Correspondence can be sensitive, so negotiate whether you want access to it at all. Over the years, I’ve used the following platforms for communications:
- Email: Yandex.Mail and HEY
- Telegram
Duplicate the data on multiple SSDs: for family, for my closed friends, and for my sweetheart. What to do with that data after – it’s up to you.
Ceremony
I am strongly opposed to the presence of church representatives and clergy. No funeral with them has ever been without religious crap that made me want to punch them in the face. Don’t make others feel the same way I did. Please respect my wishes.
If you are financially and technically able, I would prefer cremation instead of a traditional burial. Use a reasonable amount of my funds to organise the process.
You may use some particularly good photographs and videos from my archives as a slideshow at the ceremony.
Organ donation
If my organs may be needed by my family members, sweetheart, friends or anyone else, please take them.
Music
If possible and acceptable, use some or all of the songs on this list during the ceremony:
And as a bonus – my all-time favorite track from my entire listening library:
Of the entire list, at least it should be played at the ceremony.
After the ceremony
If my friends and sweetheart want to have a party or get-together, please help them organize it at my expense. Let them make it unforgettable.
