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....

If the pumpa don't run the water tower is losing pressure fast

Yeah, hadn't really considered water supply. Thankfully it falls from the sky in abundance here (Scotland) 😅

a meshtastic node

Surprised I haven't seen meshtastic mentioned more. Pretty cool for comms if theres no power.

Nice plan with the caravan too. If you need to head out in a hurry you've got everything you need on wheels.
