I think can this problem can be solved independent of the service.
One of my weekend project ideas is a small deadman-switch service that pings you every X days to press a button, if it hasn’t heard from you in Y days it sends a private key encrypted file and some instructions. Think onetimesecret with a button and a timer.

- RogantisAgat 6y agoNow the question is: What happens to the DeadMansSwitch service if something were to happen to its maker? It's like we need to form mini multi-generational cults to keep human services like that going for as long as humans keep going until the point they stop.

- jtms 6y agoYeah, but multi-generational cult sounds way cooler
- mhh__ 6y agoThe research people have been doing into conveying the dangers of nuclear dumps to potentially primitive future peoples is quite fascinating.
- PebblesRox 6y agoAgreed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-time_nuclear_waste_warning_messages https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-time_nuclear_waste_warn...

- microtherion 6y agoMaybe I should directly apply that language to my post-mortem open source projects: This repository is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed code is placed here. Nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us.
- barakados 6y agoThis sounds like an interesting idea! I’m eager to help any way I can.
