You’re kind of there but if you live the zero-trust life always be on the lookout for ways to improve security.

If something will make your setup more secure, is low effort, uses few resources and costs you nothing it would be madness not to use it.

If you are at home go with #1

I’m at home but networking/firewalling does my tits in - #2 for me I think 😅

Do you use that setup? What made you choose it?

Better get a shift on then, Tromp could drop the nukes on Iran any day now…

Mini CDs are news to me too. I do remember folks burning their CVs onto business card sized/shaped CDs at one point. Maybe a close cousin.

I’ve had to stock up with a few second-hand spares before they get too pricey.

Might be a worth a bit in a few years!

Mark 'em up, sell 'em on, profit 😅

They sound absolutely indestructible! Id end up with hundreds of them at 24GB each though 🤣 I’d need one of those CD flip books everyone had in their cars in the 90s!

I dont think minidisks ever got used for tech stuff but I think later on you could store/read mp3s with them. Ahh the nostalgia.

Cool, never heard of them. Sounds good for archiving stuff that doesnt need to be stored on HDD’s

I miss minidiscs though they were awesome.

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.

…most important: I am not inside Usa

Same. But here the police are colloquially know as ‘the Feds’, ‘the pigs’, etc.

archiving to m-discs

Minidiscs?

I have a semi-portable solar setup that currently runs my internet, NAS, Fridge and to some degree, the A/C.

Really? Impressive. Must be some size to run all that?

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.

in line for the weekly ice cream truck

Where do you live? 1957?

I’ve been ordering medications a couple of days early each month - not for prepping but cos I hate running low. Basically I’m reordering earlier and earlier every month and no-one has noticed. Useless if you have anything that lives in a fridge though

How come? Famously long shelf life?

Whole post sounds like nonsense. If the nukes hit, whose gonna be on Amazon and eBay thinking “better buy a ton of PCs before transistor prices rocket”??

Thought about this myself. How space hungry is it for you?

Ooh niche plan but I like it

Think you missed the ‘just for lols’ part

Cook them up like a weird spaghetti

Fair. Its the only realistic option.
