Ask Slashdot: Shortcuts To a High Tech House
First time accepted submitter phaedrus9779 writes "I'm a recently married man about to take on the next big adventure: home ownership!

b) find a hobby
I went with hobby.
. . . then you can just go live there if a catastrophic event destroys your original house. You'll be all set, right down to the stuff in your fridge from the night before. You can even switch living between the two houses, if you like.
The difficult part of this solution, is convincing your wife that the other woman in the other house, is just a copy of her . . . and not another woman in your life.
Every Slashdot technical solution must include rsync. And SSH tunnels.

What if your hobby is accruing a large collection of adult material?
But in that case the old wife gets your house and shed...
