How many of you f'ers are buying books and DVD's to hedge censorship?
posted 3 years ago by spezpedobestfriend 3 years ago by spezpedobestfriend +24 / -0

I've started collecting movies and books that the left will go after just in case things go south. I went with a lot of Mell Brooks and Monty Python classics for DVD's. For books, Orwell and Bradbury.

Any other selections to pay attention to?

I'd rather spend my money on non-perishable foods and water, arms and ammunition, and vehicle maintenance materials and fuel.

You can stick the entirety of classic literature, textbooks, manuals, etc, on a single flash or hard drive in .txt form.

And then the EMP comes, And then to log into the Internet you have to download Pelosi Scan that removes all harmful content from your PC the minute you insert a USB drive connected or not, And then your old PC you set up to use for digital to bypass Pelosi Scan dies and the replacement parts are not allowed to be sold.

Having books is a damn good idea in a SHTF to keep your brain from going crazy.

Just get a couple of cheap old laptops and stick them in a faraday cage man.

It's really not that difficult for short term preservation.

Long term if things aren't fixed the books will rot outside of a controlled environment unless you've specifically prepared high quality paper and printed them yourself.

I was able to call my phone while it was placed in the microwave, so don't expect this to work perfectly. Better to build one to the proper specs.

Electronics decay just sitting out. The batteries that maintains the motherboards die in 5 years. At best, 10 years for a laptop in storage will still work, but you are looking at replacing motherboard batteries at the minimum. I'd rather do that on a desktop personally.

I've never had an issue running a motherboard with the CMOS battery dead, it just won't keep accurate time if it doesn't have power.

I have a 10+ year old laptop within arm's reach right now. It's a cheap piece of shit Acer that cost like 400 dollars new. It's painfully slow and the battery will hold about a minute's charge, but it runs just fine when plugged in. It's never been in any kind of storage, my mother used it for a few years and now I keep it around in case I really need Windows for something. I keep it in a cupboard.

Just put them in the foil.

It doesn't work too well. Confoundingly.

It turns out the tin foil hat really was crazy, and pissing in the wind.
