The project looks a bit sketchy being in big part written by some Manus AI agent, I wouldn't trust probably lightly reviewed code to take on the task of data erasure on my device.
It's also unclear from reading the documentation if it treats SSD data erasure correctly as you can't simply overwrite data a bunch of times anymore on most SSDs.
Of course, both things can be checked from reading the source code, I'm just giving a heads up.
Being written in big part by an LLM the question of copyright is also important, can it really be released under any open license as is?

That aside, you might want to post to !scienza@feddit.it for Italian content.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
