I don't think much would happen if my girlfriend or my wife had access to my files.

I have a 40tb NAS that I store most of my /home directory on, so I can share it between my desktop/laptop/steam deck. The only local files are coding projects, games, or device specific configs. My wife has access to all of it, and has never said anything.

40tb NAS for /home

I'm not sure what's worse: mounting a network device on /home or needing 40tb

I assume your movie/game collection is quite large

It's just sub directories like ~/Documents, etc. /home is just quicker, but I guess that's moot with this explanation. And yes, I have a very large Movie/TV collection.

V2 of the NAS will have 200tb for media, as well as an nvme array with a 40gigabit connection to my desktop. Still working out the specifics though.

Ohhhh, that makes alot more sense. I was wondering how you would use the devices while not connected to the internet

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's valid. I'm also a software engineer and work from home, so when I leave the house, I don't usually take any computers with me. I stare at those enough at home. :)
