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 3 months ago

Thread over.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yup, Vaultwarden database. Not much else comes close.

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Same for me

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

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Somthing somthing what should i be using for ssh

[-] Technoguyfication@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

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.

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

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 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

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

Does vmlinuz count?

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Photos Library.photoslibrary

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] Joshi@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months 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.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 3 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.

[-] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Matt 3 points 3 months ago

KeePass password vault

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

Edit: Except one of course.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

But I'll never tell 😉

[-] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

My daily work notes.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

There's no hiding from grep -r

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 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 3 months ago

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.

[-] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 2 points 2 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.
