Best place to store my nappy picture collection at?


Recommended Posts

I have hundreds of incontinence nappy pictures of myself. I had them on CD and hadn't looked at them for some years as iMacs don't have CD drives anymore. Recently purchased a CD drive and currently have all my nappy pics stored in Photo in the hidden settings which isn't ideal. Which is the best platform to store them which is easy to access and look at them when needed but is more discreet?

You could get yourself a USB pen drive and stick them all on that:

Or alternatively if you got an old smartphone laying around unused you could transfer them onto that.

A folder on your mac labeled "2015 Taxes" lol

I have a blaze orange 4TB drive I use as a "Black Box" with a backup copy of everything on it. This one: https://amzn.to/2IlV8E0

I used to use flash drives, but they are too easy to misplace (thus the bright orange, don't mess with this drive)

Have you considered "hiding in plain sight" using a virtual encrypted disk?  They sound more complicated than they really are.  They are pretty easy to use.

TrueCrypt is an open-source oldie but a goodie:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt

Suitably encrypted, you can safely back up your virtual disk to cloud storage.  If you want backup, those backups need to be in physically different locations to be effective so a copy in the cloud (onedrive, Google Drive, whatever) isn't a bad idea.  They can steal your drive but with strong encryption, there isn't much they can do with it.  If you are especially paranoid, it includes a feature called "plausible deniability"

You need to store them on more than 1 device and keep them separate 

I have "valuable" pictures and documents stored on 3 different devices, 2 harddrives and 1 usb stick, but more doesn't hurt, I might consider burning them onto DVDs

I've always wondered if there are any rules about storing "adult" content on cloud drive services which could lead to your account being closed and files lost as a result? Always think it's safer to use local offline storage for that reason!

Presuming there's nothing in there that would violate any of your country's laws, you should be fine storing the files on the cloud, especially if they are encrypted. You'd have to read up on data privacy and cloud storage because every nation has different laws and every company has different policies. Presuming your files aren't violating the companies terms of service, then they cannot shut your account down.

My suggestion is that  you are store an encrypted virtual drive that contains your stuff, not your stuff "in the clear".  Your service provider does not have the keys to decrypt your file.  You do.  To them,  the file just looks like a random binary.  They CANNOT scan the contents.  Usual caveats apply:

- You are using a passphrase of moderate length and complexity (12 chars or greater, mixture of upper case, lower case, alpha, numerics & special characters eg: Il1k3myD1p5!

- you didn't give the volume file itself some attention-attracting name (like "diaperporn.tc")

Also, I would suggest that an encrypted volume in the cloud is a BACKUP and not your primary source.  Cloud services are often free and therefore fragile.  They come and go.

I guess if an agency decided to throw a super-computer at your encrypted volume to brute-force your password it could (after a VERY long period of time - many years) succeed but at the end of the day, you're not actually storing anything illegal (right?), just stuff that could be embarrassing for you.

Ah, the habit of technology!  Sure, you could upload your images to The Cloud and use their technology, taking the chance that it could be hacked, lost or something could happen and you end up somehow losing all your photos.  Sometimes the simplest low tech way is the best.  Store everything on a couple flash drives (2 in case one gets lost or damaged) and there you go!  I liken it to either using a phone app to unlock your car door, adjust your thermostat or turn off the lights in your house instead of just using your car key to open the door or flick the light switch off when you leave the room.  "Oh, I forgot to turn off the lights in the house before we left.  let me pull out my smart phone and do it" instead of being in the habit of automatically turning the lights off when you leave the room.  We forget to do the obvious because we have gotten in the habit of relying on technology to do it for us!  Seems lazy to me.  It seems people have gotten out of the habit of doing things the simple old way and instead rely on their high tech smart phone apps and other technology.  Just because the technology is there doesn't mean it's a good idea. How about the technology for a self driving car or the latest one -  a car that reads your phone texts to you out loud while you are driving.  That doesn't mean it's a good thing since you shouldn't be driving and texting in the first place (it's still distracting you from your driving).  All it does is give you another way of doing something you shouldn't be doing anyway.  Reading texts out loud while driving your car?  All that is doing is telling everyone it's OK to text and drive which is what law enforcement says is dangerous!  Maybe you aren't looking at the phone and reading your message.  It's still distracting and you can't pull over for a minute or wait until you get somewhere and park to read your text?  You have cars with sensors that will automatically break if it detects something stopped ahead of you.  Instead of you paying attention to your driving, it makes a person get in the habit of being less attentive to what they are supposed to be doing, knowing they have a fail safe installed in their car.  Things like that can reinforce bad behaviors and make it easier for people do things they shouldn't be doing while driving, knowing their car might stop them from rear ending the car in front of them or keep from hitting the child who ran out in the street.  This is what we have become. Reliant on technology to do some of the normal everyday things we should be doing for ourselves.  I'm not against technology, just how many people abuse it for simple everyday things they have always done.  When I was a teen and in my 20's and 30's there were no cell phones and text messages.  We got along just fine!  Now everyone texts all day long!  People just can't seem to show restraint and the more new high tech apps and gizmo's that are out there, the worst it gets!  Can we say, "Lets camp out in line for 3 days just to be the first to get the latest version of the I-Phone"?

That's an ok strategy so long as you can have your flash drives in VERY separate physical locations and you can remember/access them.  Cloud storage should be *backup* for this kind of stuff (and encrypted), not your first line of storage I agree.  Your backup needs to be out of range for flood, fire, whatever where your primary data source is.

I agree:  it is possible that one day in the future, some mathematician might solve the complex prime number factorization equation upon which the asymmetrical encryption of today rests and much of our encryption to date will be for naught but in that scenario, your diaper pics are a LOOONG way down the list of the global catastrophes that will unfold ?  And if that even looks like happening, we can move to elliptical curve encryption right?

I simply store all photos of myself in diapers on my I-phone, that way they are at hand when I want to post one on a web site to share with others. 

Yes I know once it’s on the web there’s no getting it off even deleting it from the web site does not totally remove it. But if I was worried about that I would not have posted it in the first place.

I will just continue using iCloud and let them remain in the hidden setting. Plus have it backed up on a memory card plus CD's.

If by the remote chance people see them I could just continue saying I'm incontinent and took the photos to see if my bum look big in incontinence pads as at the time I was self conscious about wearing them.

I would say away from anything icoud space. I think you would be way better off, either placing them on an external HD or a Flash drive and keep that locked one of those security safes. That way you can still have access to it, but it's locked away and hidden from other potential prying eyes. As well as once you upload files to wherever, you won't know who can gain access to it. Multi billion dollar companies are constantly coming out and telling us that someone breached their systems, I would say away from putting anything into the interweb.

Can't see an external DVD drive myself.  First, it costs a lot more money.  Second, it's a lot bigger than a flash drive making it harder to hide or stash somewhere.  Then do you have to burn all your photos to a DVD?  With a small thin flash drive you just drag your photos to it and unplug it from your USB port.  Small enough to stash almost anywhere and cheap enough where you can buy several if you want.  I still think the best, cheapest and most discreet way is to load them on a couple flash drives that are small enough to be hidden almost anywhere.

Sounds a good solution! The concern was just that they could scan your contents and say "that's porn" (as per Tumblr...) and shut your account, and it would be annoying to lose everything (along with perhaps "vanilla" other files!) But an encrypted backup, as you say, would prevent any chance of that.

I have a hot swappable hard drive where I back up every video I've shot over the years. There are a lot of programs you can install on a flash drive or hard drive that will encrypt and lock down the entire contents as well. Pretty sure many of them are free even.
