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.
But the OP says it’s unencrypted data. While that behaviour might be the norm- would she also need assistance to navigate an unencrypted, unprotected backup?
100%… If the app updates and moves a button it might as well be broken until I figure it out and explain it.
She sounds persistent. If don’t understand whatever I’ve just launched, I’ll close it and move on to the next file

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.
“I want this to show up first alphabetically. Better add an underscore to the start” eventually leading to ____________important.final.final4.png
Use git.
Please.
I’m begging you.
For image files? I know you can save image files and git but I just don’t know what it does with them.
Git is version control
There is always git LFS
It just keeps a copy.
Don’t use git for images (or most other binary data)
It’s still way better than _final_fixed(2) version control.
What do you propose to use as a version control for images?
I’d imagine you’d be hard pressed to find a non-programmer who knows what that is.
I’m not a programmer and I agree. Only after getting into 3d art I started hearing about it and I don’t think I’ve ever used it, let alone understand it, it’s the sort of thing the technical artists know about. Nobody ever suggested me to use it for my images or 3d models.
As a visual artist I can confirm the “image_final_final2_b_final” trope is as real as it gets
Git is used in other contexts besides programming
nothing because I am paranoid
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.
Who saves porn?
Have faith in T H E C L O U D
People with internet that frequently drops would be one guess of mine
And even then, videos are constantly added and removed from the Internet. The offline spankbank is eternal.
Listen… it’s for… archival and digital preservation purposes.
and we all have a white whale out there we wished we saved but can’t remember what it was called and can’t find it again, wishing we had saved it
Datahoarders like me
Ex girlfriend then…

Is this a username checks out case?
If I don’t have a girlfriend, does it go to my closest female friend or to my wife?
Double it and give it to the next person
Dunno, but I have a girlfriend now.
Congrats, bro.
Thanks, bro! But she has all my files now.
Not really much. Now if my wife would get the dump the story might be a bit different.
If I had a girlfriend, then several gigabytes of my files would be largely useless
Ha, look at this loser, only has “several gigabytes” of ‘Linux ISOs’
An avalanche of boredom ensues.
Also a great disappointment in my interest in Linux memes.
She’d probably blush because I have a lot of pictures of her I never bothered to send her.
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
Eh, don’t sweat it. If you like someone, you like someone, there’s nothing more to it.
Agreed but that hypothetical instance of myself has no idea how she got a girlfriend in the first place. Know thyself
You know what, yeah. Maybe you should start asking questions if a girlfriend just appears out of thin air
I’ll just replace “girlfriend” with “wife” since I am married —
Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn’t anything I think would surprise her.
I wouldn’t be worried about the files but more about my wife finding out that I have a girlfriend.
