A copy? Not possible unless she builds a NAS

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I get incredibly anxious about her finding incriminating things that I didn't do and I know don't actually exist, but what if they do somehow?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

She has admin access on my server and can see everything so she already has that. We spend pretty much 24/7 together anyways so nothing to hide in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

She doesn't even look at them most likely

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Not really much. Now if my wife would get the dump the story might be a bit different.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Absolutely nothing, other than maybe her questioning my data storage habits as it's all trash.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be worried about the files but more about my wife finding out that I have a girlfriend.

Dies of boredom

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

She tells me how intensly geek and boring my life is, before asking me to fix something on her computer.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You good bro?

Blink three times if you need help.

The only encrypted file I have is my kdbx.

I get excited that I have a girlfriend. Although I don't know what she wants with my game saves. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Hypothetical Girlfriend would probably wonder why everything is so disorganized.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

"Why do you take so many goddamn pictures of our cat?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

Pornography starring Scout's mother.

My wife would probably try to have sex with her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Either she is nerdy AF, at which point I am going to get silly and probably scare her off, or she is going to be extremely bored hopefully she gets the hint and that will scare her off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

A great deal of confusion, I imagine. I don't have a girlfriend, and since I rarely even leave the house on my own, I doubt my wife would believe that I do.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Depends. Does she know about my wife and kids?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

She’d probably ask my why I have full archives of a lot of old websites, and why I have archives of everything I have ever written for school or work.
