In about 5 minutes I get a complaint her storage is full.

I have unspeakable amounts of pictures of my cats saved. No, I will not delete the ones that are nearly identical.

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 96 points 1 year ago

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

I'd start by wondering how in the hell I got a girlfriend, then my wife would do the same.

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.

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 44 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 13 points 1 year ago

What if she uses a file search?

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 27 points 1 year ago

Use git.

Please.

I'm begging you.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

If I had a girlfriend, then several gigabytes of my files would be largely useless

[-] twotone@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

Ha, look at this loser, only has "several gigabytes" of 'Linux ISOs'

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 46 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sudo22@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Not sure how the girlfriend world react. But my wife would be pissed that I now have one.

My wife gets mad that I have a girlfriend.

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

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.

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.

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

Do people not stream their porn nowadays?

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 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 20 points 1 year ago

She immediately comes to me for tech support and asks what to do with this data, how to access it, etc..

You over estimate the technical independence of people near a geek. It's like they gleefully turn their brains off.

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.

[-] Slice@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Living this right now, but it's great. She's organizing my entire plex server!

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

[-] coffee@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 15 points 1 year ago

Neat, free backups! Thanks!

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

None of my shit is encrypted because none of my shit is interesting enough to warrant it

[-] bookmeat@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

My SO‌ 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.

[-] WorldWideLem@lemmy.world 11 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?

[-] 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.
