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 doesn't even look at them most likely

A copy? Not possible unless she builds a NAS

[–] Astroturfed 9 points 1 year ago

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

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 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] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Manifish_Destiny 8 points 1 year ago

My wife would probably try to have sex with her.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

RPG books. So many RPG books.

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

[–] pensivepangolin 7 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.

Hypothetical Girlfriend would probably wonder why everything is so disorganized.

[–] Rubezahl 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing. She has no time to read Excel spreadsheets.
