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....

I'm planning on running towards the bright flash and hoping I end up part of the first wave of mass casualties....

You wouldn't have the time for that

When the bright light comes, it kills you or it won't, but by the time it's there there is little.rinning to be done

The radioactivity at ground zero can easily kill you within the first hours to days. Puking you guts out and ankle deep in bloody diarrhea, what a great way to go.

Lucky that you live somewhere that you may see the bright light. I do not live in the middle of bum fuck no where but I can see it from here. If I did not already have the plan of downing a lot of narcotics and just falling asleep I would suffer from so much radiation poisoning it would not be fun.
