some SSH keys
Hopefully not important ones...
But yeah, that's how I run things too. But those of us who don't computer so good (Paging @Ben_Lubars_dad) may not get that concept.

Ouch. I'm sorry for your... err, not loss... trouble?
Would he listen to reason like that or... no?If no, I'd go with the "Don't worry dad, everything is backed up here (possibly encrypt it and add in buzzwords to make it sound better - It's backed up to a quad-core fully functional backup machine hosted securely on-site with AES256 encryption! And it's much more reliable than those crappy cloud services that mysteriously disconnectstrong text)"

Well, there's the key for
australium, which is in my basement, the key forwhat.thedailywtf.comthat I could just ask someone to change my public key for, a key for the mumble server that I go onm.sflan.uk, which doesn't actually give access to anything now that the mumble server is running as the usermumble-serverinstead ofmumble, and a key that I generated for my account on my university's server that I don't use because password auth automatically signs me into AFS but public key auth doesn't.

That seems... Poorly implemented...

I use the strategy of "don't have anything that is both on storage I'm in charge of and irreplaceable".
Right; but you have no problem with preventing your dad from backing up his data.
-
He can still back it up at his office every day. Just not after he comes home and I'm trying to do homework or play video games.

Because that's easier than you just exchanging a few sentences with him.
-
Those are almost identical to the sentences I exchanged with him.

not only would they not have to clone BITS, they literally cannot clone BITS because it relies on data the OS has but applications have no access to. (Specifically, how much bandwidth other users on the system are using.)
Right, because Linux is obviously such a piece a shit that it could not possibly include a world-readable file called /proc/net/dev that contains exactly this information.
