Reminds me of a billionaire who went “woke” because he did the research and realized it’s far far far more effective to just start building farms around his home city then building a fancy bunker for him to die in. Actually building public infrastructure with redundancy.
Also society isn’t going to collapse overnight.
That’s the other thing. Society is more likely not to collapse, but just adapt. Half your country could be wiped out by a nuke. If the capitol was taken out then you’re just entering government less warzone like Darfur. They still have trade etc in those regions. Eventually surviving external government exert influence and prop up their preferred government.
Or the capitol survives, the housing market crashes, everybody becomes poor, disgruntled young guys force through a vote for a strong daddy to lead them through this tough time.
The movie “the road” is horrible but unlikely. The Last of Us military city states is more probable. Or just reading a history book.
My problem with preppers is the over estimating on whether they’ll be in a position that these skills will have any effect, and the under valuing on steps we could just take to not have this future in the first place.
Like, you’ll need a farm right off the bat, or your first steps in any guider are how to violently take somebody else’s land. Followed by step two, keeping that land from other humans who don’t want to die.
Instead of prepping, become nomadic scroungers or live in a fricking farming commune in the first place. Basically descend a couple levels of societal development and you’ll already be self sufficient and ready. Like the Amish.
Or, you know, voting for politicians who listen to scientists.
Anything beyond being self sufficient for a month is overkill in my opinion.
Windows is idiot proof
Could we at least add more idiot support to system crashes?
Windows has a QR code for you to scan, you can make a personalized recovery drive so that it restores your computer, ctrl alt delete gives you options to click on.
Pardon me, he massively reformed the church. Brought it all the way to 17th century morals. /s
What would Jesus do?
An onion article saying JFK was taken out by the military industrial complex. And somebody accused a gay guy of having an alias which matched a name in the Warren commission report. Coincidentally the gay dude travelled for business and at the time the CIA interviewed traveling business people for info on their travels as part of data collection. So obviously a CIA agent.
Last of all, they did not need to fucking shoot him in public, they already had a fuck ton of classified techniques trying to take out the Cuban president.

What precisely can be stolen from those officials in the first place? Oh no, you’ve discovered our large banking system with rich people money!
Noob. Gotta have somebody host the mumble server 24/7. Persistent private chat with images amongst your buddies.
And absolutely destroyed by discords reaction gifs and emojis.
Well fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.
? Mumble is text chat also.
You’re correct, it doesn’t make a difference in regards to signal.
I meant it more as a general iPhone use. Your iPhone with ADP off is uploading everything to Apple iCloud unencrypted. By default only your passwords & health app data is encrypted.
A Lemmy or mastodon instance could just make an onion address?
Fuck is wrong with Mumble?
Theoretically: fuck no. Private operating system, not open source code, installation source is Apple itself, Apple helps law enforcement, Prism scooped up all unencrypted data.
Practically: signal wouldn’t keep developing an iOS app if there was hard evidence Apple couldn’t be trusted, Apple gives plenty of options for your data to not be collected in plain text and given to law enforcement (turn off iCloud backups, turn off biometrics, lockdown mode, advanced data protection) but not default because they’re trying to balance being a luxury product with compliance, as a luxury product it’s used by rich people and rich people love their privacy (citation needed), Apple is the only practical choice if you don’t get a google pixel, FBI is always fighting them on allowing full phone encryption, they rolled out a contact encryption key verification feature for their own iMessage.
Signal explicitly doesn’t allow its files to be uploaded to iCloud. You practically will be fine using it on iOS. Unless you are in China which has its own iCloud/Apple servers, or the UK where Apple disabled advanced data protection.
Apple provides encryption for its customers, but not by default. All its encryption features hint to me that they would prefer not having anything to hand over to the hundreds of law enforcement agency’s around the planet, but don’t want to piss them off by making it default. This aligns with it being a hardware and service company, vs the advertising company Google.
Privacyguides has a page on steps you can take in your iPhone to harden it.
You are in a better situation than most. Make plans to get onto a graphene pixel. But if that wasn’t available then an iPhone is the next best choice.
