Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    Just built one of these myself. I went NVME M.2 instead of SD Card to avoid data corruption. I know SD Cards are fine if you don’t write to them a lot but if you wanna update or add your own stuff, scares me. Plus NVME is just so much faster.

        You find a generator, or solar panels, or wind mill, or water turbine, or a bicycle hooked up to a generator.

        If electricity permanently goes out then we’re in a scavenger situation and it is time to start taking apart things that are no longer necessary to build the things that are.

          Hey finally a good use for all of those cars, grab the alternators out for small generators (since bicycles are the ultimate apocalypse vehicle: simple, small, easy to maintain and don’t require complex fuels)

        Pretty much what Sinthesis said; USB power brick and/or solar panels. Both at the ready and tested. Also got a big ass battery backup that will charge off solar panels.

        You only need 20 watts of power. One of those dinky fold up solar panels would work. Add a USB power brick for cloudy days.

                Eink displays are pretty awesome for this sort of thing, I repuposed a kobo ereader as a household info display and it worked nicely. Those PaPiRus screens look easier to interface with, but a little small for reading wikipedia articles. They’d do in a pinch, but the eyestrain would have me looking for a bigger solution.

                  Totally, if you want to read or read / sketch then a reMarkable or PineNote would be much better. They’d consume a lot more energy (relatively speaking) but it’s a different use case.
