Last Will PostMortem Last will and (little) secrets

Setting the « maximum » delay and the notice period (simulation with an explanation purpose)

1- « Maximum » delay : duration at the end of which no reaction at all from me upon reception, by e-mails, of reminders could be interpreted as my possible death : days.

2- Duration before a very first reminder is received : the max delay decreased by a notice period, to be set here : days. A reminder remained not responded a day generates the sending of a new reminder the day after... Until the « maximum » delay is possibly reached.

NOTICE : these durations can be modified at any time or even disabled. Convenient, if you know that you'll be without any Internet access over a long period of time (slow ocean crossing, e.g...).

Below, I can make of the result :

Today, we are on the : 22 October 2024. As early as 20 November, I'll receive a reminder asking me to react (very first one). Either I answer to it - a simple click - and the delay is re-activated for 40 days, with the next reminder received 19 December... Or I don't answer to it and I'll receive another reminder the day after... and so on... If I don't answer to any of them, as early as 01 December, the web site will suppose I have died (or I am blocked). It will stop sending reminders and will ask the two attesters, whom I'll have formerly chosen, whether or not I have died.
