My digital legacy is going in the dumpster, unless somebody figures out how to break encryption that I've never shared the password for.
Probate can figure out the rest.
Someday the hashes will be cracked.
It'll be possible. Whether someone will take the time and cost on are another question altogether.
Share me it, ill tell my ancestors theres valuable secrets hidden within and theyl crack it with their quatum computers.
You'd be very disappointed. Most of it is stuff you can get off usenet yourself, and the rest is documents and pictures nobody cares about but me.
