Jeep, water purifier, first aid kit, katana. Wish I could take flashlight, but it’s a 5th option on the list.

No reason to take guns since rounds will be gone quickly and you’ll end up with a worthless piece of metal. Chainsaw is clunky and fuel-dependent. Fire axe is also clunky and actually not that good at chopping wood - not to mention you’ll make a lot of sounds while doing so. Machete is bad on both fronts. Crossbow - almost perfect, but bolts tend to break too.

Jeep adds to mobility, which is very handy. Fuel-dependent, but then again, with such mobility you can reach some gasoline. Doubles as a place to stay in extreme situations, without losing mobility, rendering it able to escape emergencies.

Water purifier will allow you to move on without acute diarrhea

First aid kit is a must in literally every survival situation. You should be able to prevent infections and restore mobility as quickly as possible

I just don’t bother going for archinstall when regular installation “from scratch” takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.

Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.

Sanyanov,

Mental Outlaw also has the great guide explaining the install step-by-step in a great detail

Debian uses its own version of the Linux kernel with proprietary parts removed; however, if you want to install it on a machine that does have hardware for which there are no free drivers (which is to say almost any machine out there in the market), you’ll have to install proprietary parts; in the last version, Debian 12, system does that by default.

Intel Management Engine is a CPU-level microprogram that runs with highest priority and does not have open code, so essentially every PC with Intel CPU runs some arbitrary code we cannot verify. Same for AMD Platform Security Processor by the way, so there is no simple escape.

Oh and BIOS is proprietary too, and only a few select machines can have a fully libre BIOS successfully installed on them.

Thereby even if you go to essentially libre version of Linux, there will, almost universally, be pieces of obfuscated code with no disclosure on what they’re doing there.

Sanyanov,

Answered to another comment. In short: it’s very hard to make your PC run fully libre software, and no consumer-grade solution can do that.

Sanyanov,

Thanks for adding up!

Sanyanov,

Well, it’s obviously dictated by hardware and the software that manufacturers release for it. I’m not calling enthusiasts to reverse engineer every single driver, that’s impossible.

The point is, there is a lot of proprietary blobs in everyone’s systems, and it’s not cool. If you ask me, we should obviously shift policies to force manufacturers to open source drivers and management systems.

Sanyanov,

You might be right on that - you know, everyone faced the challenge to find the right Debian installer :D

Wow, good luck with your project!

Sanyanov,

RISC-V should be fine, if price, performance, software support, and form-factors are all okay for you.

For most, it isn’t, but if you wanna go such great lenghts, I’d say you have a chance.

Guess he called hotline saying he’s gonna take someone else’s life before his own?

Sanyanov,

Not 3x more powerful, but rather having 3x higher voltage.

But still enough power to shock an adult human.

Sanyanov,

That will heavily depend on the surroundings, your body, and contact points.

Also, freshwater and saltwater eels approach it differently, with freshwater ones (the ones delivering those 600-800 volts) able to give out amperage of around 0,1A.

This may not seem like much, but it is actually enough to stun and paralyze a human, and this is exactly what we see here. If there’s nobody to break the contact, the current will keep flowing for several more seconds, and then your heart will stop, with all the consequences it entails.

Sanyanov, (edited )

An eel can only generate so much power, so essentially the voltage will drop so that the power will be lower.

600V at 0,1A will just turn to, say, 100V at 0,6A if the resistance between two points will be 1667 Ohm.

To keep voltage at 600V (and subsequently deliver 0,36A) you need a power source that can deliver 3,6 times more power.

In that sense, amperage is super important. We should always consider capabilities of the power source, this is big part of electrical grid engineering.

Sanyanov, (edited )

1A amperage is a feature of saltwater eels, ones that produce electricity at much lower voltages, like 10-80V. This is a natural adaptation allowing them to maximize power output in a relatively highly conductive environment.

The freshwater eels, the ones producing 600-800V, are only able to output about 0,1A, because that’s just how power works.

1A at 600V would be almost a guaranteed instakill for a human.

I’d argue you still have one skeleton if you lose limbs or teeth.

Amount of skeletons is an integer representing the anount of bone structures holding and protecting human body (or whatever’s left of it).

The real question is, how much of which parts of skeleton can we lose with it still being skeleton instead of a set of bones?

Sanyanov,

In my area ethanol got literally inaccessible.

Don’t know what the hell is going on, but we survive off reserves, and save as much as we can.

To all of you cheese lovers: this is your Penicillium roqueforti, blue cheese mold, in a microbiology lab. Bon appetit
