Also a music file I listen to everyday

Probably my KeePass database since it holds the keys to everything else.

[–] demesisx@infosec.pub 11 points 4 months ago

Thread over.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Yup, Vaultwarden database. Not much else comes close.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Same for me

something something RSA keys aren’t as secure as the more modern cyphers

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Somthing somthing what should i be using for ssh

ED25519 keys are what I use. Some people are wary of them because the NSA made some contributions to the algorithm’s development, but I don’t personally see it as an issue. If it bothers you, there are other popular ciphers that are still more secure than RSA.

I have a triangular file I use for sharpening all my saws, super useful. I have some old saws.

I’d be crushed if I lost any/all of my photos.

Indirectly, but the .bash_aliases file that has all my terminal shortcuts

Probably my tmux config. Using tmux has saved my butt so many times.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

Going back to default tmux feels so wrong. I've got a bastard config that comes from muscle memory from starting with GNU screen with a dash of i3 sensibilities

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Pictures of my dogs who passed away a couple years ago.

Nearest thing I can think of is a running file with medical guidelines I use occasionally but not often enough to want to learn, childhood vaccination schedules, colonoscopy follow up timelines, lots of imaging follow up guidelines.

Nice try, hacker. I ain't giving you my secrets!

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Not a single file, but a folder with mementos associated with someone who has been a really good friend to me for the past two years. Said friend also has a folder for saving the stuff I send them, so it's mutual!

I keep my passwords and other sensitive information in a written diary, you never know if you might get hacked, so I took that precaution.

[–] shrugs@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

[–] nebulaone@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Password database. I don't know any of my passwords.

Edit: Except one of course.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

But I'll never tell 😉

[–] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 2 points 4 months ago

I love dnd. I tried beyond but couldn't add things to my sheet because I didn't own the digital book. So I made my own system on Google sheets to build a character and play the game without needing to buy every single book for one race or feat.

[–] tlou3please@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Not including work devices - probably my old university files. I intentionally wrote about topics relevant to the career I wanted (which I now have) and they're genuinely useful for going back and referring to.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

The one containing all my ID information and passwords and stuff. I have at least six replicas of it, tactically hidden in places where I'd find it but nobody else can, similar to the five rings from Captain Planet.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago

There's no hiding from grep -r

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 months ago

I used to hide my passwords in the text content of like a png file. Invisible unless you know to open in a text editor

Now I actually encrypt that stuff haha

[–] cactus_head@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Come on, the six infinity stones where right there

For work or for personal?

For work, it's my bespoke spreadsheet that automatically calculates when and how much I need to have on hand for any particular item. Our system is technically able to do this, but no one has ever turned it on, so I created one myself in order to get my inventory under control.

At home, it's probably the blender file of my current project for X-Plane that represents roughly a year and a half of my life so far. I have backups in multiple places of course.
