TLDR

A user considers AI-based cyberattacks on the power grid, financial system, internet infrastructure or water systems plausible within a year. As basic preparation, they recommend a few weeks of spending in cash, a Starlink Mini for backup internet, battery and solar power, 14-plus gallons of water per person for two weeks, two-plus weeks of shelf-stable food and a hand-crank NOAA emergency radio.

Andreas Stuhlmüller@stuhlmuellerI think it's plausible that within a year we'll see AI-based cyberattacks on the power grid, financial system, internet infra, or water. Things like the French supermarket cyberattack but worse. As basic prep I would recommend: Cash: Get a few weeks of spending in cash Internet: Get a Starlink Mini so that you have Internet if local fiber or cell is down (~$150 plus $10/month in standby mode) Power, minimal: Enough to run Starlink Mini and phones (~$1,250) Daily need: about 1 kWh (Starlink Mini 0.7, phones and laptops 0.2; can limit runtime) Battery: 1 kWh LiFePO4, e.g. EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus Solar: 1x400W folding panel, which refills about 1 kWh on a sunny day Power, better: Enough to run a fridge, Starlink Mini and phones (~$5,000) Daily need: about 2.5 kWh (fridge 1.5, Starlink Mini 0.7, phones and laptops 0.2) Battery: 4 kWh LiFePO4, e.g. EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 Solar: 3x400W folding panels, which refill about 3 kWh/day in sun Generator: ~2,500W dual-fuel inverter generator; refills battery in a few hours even if weather is bad; get a few 20 lb propane tanks Water: 14+ gal of water per person for two weeks Food: 2+ weeks of shelf-stable food Comms: Hand-crank NOAA emergency radio12h
