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....

Some good skills worth learning there. Always fancied growing my own food but never got round to it.

I have taught myself the skill of making very good alcohol

Nice! Im a techie but I barber as a side hustle. Between us we could have a nice wee apocolypse 😅

Have you heard of reticulum? You might be into it. Seen mention of using things like ham and lora as carriers.

Never, but I will spool up on it.

Even in a small yard, one can grow enough food to offset buying at the local grocery. Container gardening. Maybe using some areas of your landscaping for a small grow. I'll tell you that there is nothing like home grown food. It tastes much different than what you find in most groceries. For instance, I look forward in much anticipation to tomato season. I grow all kinds of varieties. Store bought tomatoes are usually picked green, flooded with Ethylene, and shipped. That will never compare to a sliced tomato, ripe off the vine with some mayo, salt and pepper, between two slices of bread.
