Is there a program that can erase your hard drive if you do not re-enter password or something in like ~3 days?
I am asking because I would not want my parents to find out my files, be it be searching my stuff after my (eventual) death or the authorities breaking my password and informing my parents what they have found.

Write your own. You're not asking for anything particularly complicated.

Deleting a hard drive takes hours, you can use encryption though and delete / throw away the key in a matter of seconds.

Mhm, but what I want is a program that will automatically delete all my stuff, if I, for whatever reason do not enter the correct password to prevent the deletion in ~3 days for example.

Yes, so write your own. What's the problem?
>>28564187
I never wrote any program or did anything programming related.

That is not feasible, people can just take your hard drive and copy it without your machine or your program running in any way.
With encryption you can have your key on a physical device like an USB stick and dispose of it if you want to make your data inaccessible.

trips of good advice I guess.

Neither did anyone else before they started learning how to. Why should other people do the work but not you?
Just make an encrypted container to put all your naughty stuff in.
I have my whole 4chan folder in a container. I have to type a password in order to access it every time I turn the computer on/restart.
it's called LUKS
if you're paranoid, use a 20 character password with rare symbols
data will be protected until the technological singularity arrives

literally noone cares enough about you for this to become a thing

Rare symbols are a meme, just use a legible and easily remberabe passphrase which is long.
To be paranoid you have to use two factor authentification (aforementioned USB stick and a password).
In case you are interogated you can destroy the USB stick and have a plausible way out. In case you die and somebody recovers the USB stick they don't have the password.
