Everyone puts off estate planning in general for obvious reasons (most people don’t want to think about their own mortality) all the more so, most don’t give a thought to digital estate planning, it’s especially hard because there are very few resources to do it and most apps/websites don’t have that workflow planned out (Afaik, really only Facebook does anything for this).
My wife and I share a password manager account so theoretically she should have access to every site I use, but will she know where to go? Will she have any clue how to maintain our local self hosted services? Let alone the hardware?
I’ve walked her through restarting the esxi server and ssh’ing into the main docker server to restart it, but I haven’t documented any of this anywhere for her…
- RobertSponge 3y agoI scrapped my self built server that runs snowflake TrueNAS with zfs doodads and replaced it with simple synology. It has mostly default settings with no encryption. My wife has no idea about tech and I want it to be easy for her to access our digitised family media and documents, once I no longer around. Any tech literate people/shop can figure out how to pull data out of synology.
