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?

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

A copy? Not possible unless she builds a NAS

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

She doesn't even look at them most likely

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 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.

[–] aard@kyu.de 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 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

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

Dies of boredom

My wife would probably try to have sex with her.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 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.

Hypothetical Girlfriend would probably wonder why everything is so disorganized.

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

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

"Why wouldn't I?"

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.

You good bro?

Blink three times if you need help.

[–] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] Rubezahl@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing. She has no time to read Excel spreadsheets.
