What's your plan to allow family access to important materials on your servers upon your death? What about for materials you don't want them to access?

Edit: I of course mean diary private diary entries.

You're dead. Honestly, if your family finds your porn stash, it's not the worst thing. In the history of humans men always found a way to hide porn somewhere.
Your "private stash" is also a part of your story. Let them see all.
Not me obviously. I don't look at porn.
- lol! thanks for sharing your thoughts
I intend on giving a close friend or two my password manager. They can figure it out from there! I don't care what they find; I'm dead.
Should I die suddenly and spontaneously then no one shall ever know my deep secrets!
- I have a similar strategy except I don't give anyone the password (there's no one in the world I trust that much and if it ever leaked I would blame them) but I say "hey if I die there's an envelope here with the necessary materials upon my death". I explicitly don't even tell them what's in it.
  Hopefully I don't die in a fire.
I do not want anybody to have any access to any of my online presence after I am dead. I want that shit nuked hard. I legitimately cannot believe there is any other thought on this.
- I didn’t say online presence. I said server stuff. That for me includes family photos and ancestry
  
  Anything I have not published should be lost forever.
There are a few self hosted dead man's switches which might work in this case.
Easiest might be to give passwords to a trusted friend with technical experience and a list of the important things that you want done.
I plan on adding a usb hub on my tombstone connected to embedded drives. I have accumulated a lot of things during my life but the funeral industry tends to frown on pornography.
