What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse? (lemmy.zip)

Say ww3 kicks off and power goes off - how are you keeping your servers up? Solar panels and batteries?

What if there's a biblical flood and you dont have the means to build an arc? All your servers are destroyed beyond repair?

What if you heard the Feds are coming to cart you and your servers away cos they suspect you of bad mouthing Emperor Tromp? (you're on the run or subject to months of torture and yeah, you're never getting your kit back)

What if theres a war and Luxembourg (you know, the enemy) let's of an EMP pulse that kills your servers and all the infrastructure (power, internet...). How do you access all those cherished pics on Immich?

I'm not suggesting any of this will/can happen, its all just for lols, but have you made any contingency plans? Big binders full of printouts, bug-out bags, those flower-type solar things that track the sun, Faraday cages....

Screw electronics. I'll finally get time to play my 100 board games, pen and paper roleplay games and all the stuff I currently don't do, because I'm doomscrolling all day. And I might have to ask the neighbour to bring their accordion and sing some Lady Gaga for me until Spotify comes back online. I think I'd be fine.

Just a word of caution, It'll be dark in the supermarket at that time. The electronic cash terminals cease to work and half the food is going to spoil within a few hours. So get some cash, rice, noodles, oil, ketchup and canned food. And you'll need some sort of water supply.
