You're dead. Honestly, if your family finds your porn stash, it's not the worst thing. In the history of humans men always found a way to hide porn somewhere.

Your "private stash" is also a part of your story. Let them see all.

Not me obviously. I don't look at porn.

I intend on giving a close friend or two my password manager. They can figure it out from there! I don't care what they find; I'm dead.

Should I die suddenly and spontaneously then no one shall ever know my deep secrets!

I have a similar strategy except I don't give anyone the password (there's no one in the world I trust that much and if it ever leaked I would blame them) but I say "hey if I die there's an envelope here with the necessary materials upon my death". I explicitly don't even tell them what's in it.

Hopefully I don't die in a fire.

I do not want anybody to have any access to any of my online presence after I am dead. I want that shit nuked hard. I legitimately cannot believe there is any other thought on this.

I didn’t say online presence. I said server stuff. That for me includes family photos and ancestry

Anything I have not published should be lost forever.

What have you published dawg

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

There are a few self hosted dead man's switches which might work in this case.

Easiest might be to give passwords to a trusted friend with technical experience and a list of the important things that you want done.

I plan on adding a usb hub on my tombstone connected to embedded drives. I have accumulated a lot of things during my life but the funeral industry tends to frown on pornography.
