It’s fascinating to see people developing operating systems for a post-apocalyptic world. I’m not that pessimistic - yet. I just don’t want to wake up one day to some random pop-up saying all my data and software are gone because I trusted companies one the wrong side of the globe for too long.

I would personally say that the time delay between that pop-up displaying and you needing to have already been that pessimistic will be a matter of nanoseconds.

Yeah, but there are scenarios between no war and a nuclear war - and I want to be at least somehow prepared for those.
