Nothing? She already has access to it all anyway...

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno, but I have a girlfriend now.

Thanks, bro! But she has all my files now.

It'll take her so long to scroll through all the movies and TV episodes that she'll never get far enough down the file tree to find the niche porn.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 29 points 1 year ago

NOT illegal, and not crazy shocking weird. But niche enough that when I find content I like, I do try to download it because finding it again on the typical streaming sources can sometimes be a crapshoot.

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if she uses a file search?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 30 points 1 year ago (3 children)

She would be disappointed in how untidy my files are.

"Why is the final version of this project called "test1_b_new_reworked_draft_2_prefinal_dif_font_b_temp_FINAL.png"?

She would then forgive me because her filing is worse than mine.

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Use git.

Please.

I'm begging you.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

For image files? I know you can save image files and git but I just don't know what it does with them.

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Don’t use git for images (or most other binary data)

Apparently, OP is the only one who's got something to hide from his girlfriend.

I'd then be asking myself when and why I got a girlfriend.

If she's my girlfriend, she's not going to judge, and instead lend me some of her clothes, help me with makeup, and discover that she's not 100% straight after all

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She'll get bored as going through those files. Meanwhile I'll be trying to figure out if her sudden presence in my life means I'm now bi or homosexual

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Eh, don't sweat it. If you like someone, you like someone, there's nothing more to it.

Wife already has access to my computer and all my files.

Do people not stream their porn nowadays?

My bf wouldn't care, lol. It's mostly boring. And the spicy stuff is already stuff he's seen.

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Same.

Btw it's so lame that OP assumes it's only guys here. There's dozens of us!!!

My wife gets mad that I have a girlfriend.

I become very confused at finding out that I have a girlfriend.

[–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 7 points 1 year ago

My wife is my ex-girlfriend, but we're still dating. She gets mildly amused when I point this out, but she might just be humoring me.

[–] Anomalocarididae@pawb.social 16 points 1 year ago

I rejoice at having a girlfriend

[–] peter@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My files are already unencrypted and she has the password to my pc. We're both adults so she obviously knows that I watch porn so they wouldn't surprise her. Everything else is just boring stuff.

What happens? Well, I just got a girlfriend!

About the files, I don't even remember what's in there.
So much random stuff.
90 random PDFs some of which is books I planned and still plan to read, but firstly I need to somehow gain some understanding in mathematics
Files recovered from 128MB MicroSD card I found on sidewalk some years back
Files recovered from my tablet I had when I was 8
Files recovered from mom's old phone
Copies of DVDs I own as .iso files
1,118 songs I've been collecting since I was 8
54 "Educational videos" - Electronics plus GSM cracking series
Leaked source code of FarCry because why not
212 pictures of Hatsune Miku
Never Gonna Give You Up video
1,739 Screenshots
22 Firefox buttons and banners
140 satellite images received with my SDR
1,553 Photos (Camera)
3 websites downloaded with wget

And 10s of thousands of insignificant files I don't even remember. But that's just my phone's SD Card. I don't delete stuff, at most I move it to directory named ZZZ_Garbage.

[–] TheObserver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Well I'm a datahoarding pirate so lots of movies, shows, games, porn, hacking tools, bot creation tools, firmwares, family pics, movie/show posters, ISOs, etc. Nothing to hide really. Might question my complete siterip of cum4k, tiny4k, and anal4k maybe.

Neat, free backups! Thanks!

[–] init@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

My wife would probably divorce me for having a girlfriend I didn't know about

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I finally made a full backup of my system. I guess be happy about that.

Probably just ask why I have so many pictures saved of other people's cats.

Then gets upset that you didn't send her the cutest ones.

Nothing. She has a login on my system and can access pretty much anything already, minus emails and dropbox I believe. But there's nothing worth hiding either.

[–] bookmeat@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I get nervous about her discovering I'm married to someone else.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

A copy? Not possible unless she builds a NAS

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

My SOβ€Œ already has my files, encrypted or not, on their NAS (part of an arrangement where I keep my backup on their NAS, and they'd keep their backup on my NAS--once I manage to have one). I doubt they even gave it a look.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

She doesn't even look at them most likely

She gets bored looking at it all, probably. The most interesting thing I there is nudes of her.

Ok, she would get a little annoyed with all the pictures of her sleeping. She hates me taking photos of her asleep.

[–] aard@kyu.de 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Adramis 7 points 1 year ago

You good bro?

Blink three times if you need help.

[–] argv_minus_one 7 points 1 year ago

Pornography starring Scout's mother.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 7 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.

[–] rgb3x3 7 points 1 year ago

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

"Why wouldn't I?"
