Wife already has access to my computer and all my files.
Do people not stream their porn nowadays?
She tells me how intensly geek and boring my life is, before asking me to fix something on her computer.
My SO already has my files, encrypted or not, on their NAS (part of an arrangement where I keep my backup on their NAS, and they’d keep their backup on my NAS–once I manage to have one). I doubt they even gave it a look.
“Why do you take so many goddamn pictures of our cat?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Wow, so many unfinished projects”
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.
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.
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?Idk, but not anything that uses delta compression like git does.
Game developers use Perforce and Plastic scm which is (supposedly) optimized for images and other binary assets. I’ve never used them, but I’m sure a less-overkill and open source alternative exists somewhere.
That’s the thing, everything that I could find is a huge project made for storing huge projects, costs a lot of money and requires effort to install and even use. Yeah, naked git basically stores new version of an image for every commit, but nothing beats the fact that you need like two commands to use it and it just works, and storage is very cheap this days. And if you add LFS, it even does some kind of storage compression.
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
Nobody ever suggested me to use it for my images or 3d models.
*nobody until now
Use git
It’ll take her so long to scroll through all the movies and TV episodes that she’ll never get far enough down the file tree to find the niche porn.
What if she uses a file search?
