You don’t need it, but your familly do !
And key point is : what is the most likely place for them to start searching such information?
In my case, they will never thought about looking for an “emergency page”. So laminayed cards mentionned by someone else seems to be a good option
I was thinking about such a system also, but it has some serious drawbacks:
So, as a farewell message why not, but I would not trust such system to deliver in a tilely manner information that they need.
Well, if you assume they are able to do copies of files, and in the end they are not, you will not go to heaven because you screwed up your familly.
Same as stop using the services, they might now even know they are using some @home services that are running in the background.
But I take the idea about having them making their own copy of files, and write down some instructions ablut what is where, and how do a backup they own.
He has actually a point. You need access to your services for which purposes? As long as you are @home, you have access to your services (but those cannot reach outside). You can still browse your photos and likes.
If you are out, it’s easier to get a copy of what you need on your device (e.g. passwords) than set up a backup internet connection. (IMO, at least)
First, you need a use-case. It’s worthless to have a server just for the sake of it.
For example, you may want to replace google photos by a local save of your photos.
Or you may want to share your movies accross the home network. Or be able to access important documents from any device at home, without hosting them on any kind of cloud storage
Or run a bunch of automation at home.
TL;DR choose a service you use and would like to replace by something more private.
I like that idea, totally non-nerds friendly.
Will look into that, thanks :)
