Also a music file I listen to everyday

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

[–] demesisx@infosec.pub 10 points 2 months ago

Thread over.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yup, Vaultwarden database. Not much else comes close.

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

Same for me

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

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 2 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.

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

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 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

Photos Library.photoslibrary

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

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

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

Probably the file describing the firmware of my current keyboard layout.

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.

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

Edit: Except one of course.

But I'll never tell 😉

KeePass password vault

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 2 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.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

My daily work notes.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 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 5 points 2 months ago

There's no hiding from grep -r

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 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 2 months ago (2 children)

Come on, the six infinity stones where right there

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.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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.
