Most of the stuff I make doesn't need to be hidden, most of it is public, and I almost never backup, only when I'm going to reformat, so I don't even want to take a risk if I don't have to.

I would rather slide down a 50 foot razor blade into a pool of alcohol
AND kiss a rabbit between the ears than trust my data to FileVault.
