Obviously you can't and are too much dependent on Internet.
Maybe you should consider alternative. Use offline-first applications in future.

Nuclear reactors become preferred targets during military conflict and, over the past three decades, have been repeatedly attacked during military air strikes, occupations, invasions and campaigns.

So yes, power plants are probable targets in war.

In some cities (in western countries) you can't travel or do internet banking if you don't have the right app. Are you coerced? Yes you are. That is the same thing here. But you don't see "security experts" complaining.

This is really not about you "giving keys to your house" to Qatar.
You already given keys of your house to Google and other parties, now they own your house and they don't like sharing it with Qatar.

Normally you can't run code in kernel as Administrator. You can only install signed driver. So if you BYOVD (bring your own vulnerable driver) you load signed driver then run your code in kernel.

Good question. When I used WiGLE few years ago , i wanted to know if there was 1. free wifi in my area, 2. possibility to find geo-location of router from bssid, and 3. if there was local community wifi network. Found out that there was not enough public data, so i went to wardriving with WiGLE (private). Answer was 1. No 2. WiGLE is not very precise 3. No.

Consciousness is the only thing we understand. We don't understand everything else.

I have feeling that we will all get Kivix, and wikipedia. Like we all bought toilet paper for lockdowns.
Better strategy is to some get music , some get movies, some get e-books, some get software , etc... You pick it at random.
_int3_ | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Offline resources during internet outages?
1. get linux apt-get repository if you need software while offline. Whole thing has 70-80 GB.
2. get some HDD space, for sneakernet style sharing.

Kivix? https://library.kiwix.org/?lang=eng
(beware, some packages actually won't work offline )
