What about going on strike for a day or two? Not in a petulant way, but in a loving way. Just to impress upon your family exactly how important things are, that they're currently taking for granted. Maybe you'd get a volunteer to do some modest training and succession planning.
- filmgirlcw 3y agoMaybe. But in my experience, there are a lot of technical things that I value that the rest of my family just doesn’t. And losing access to things that I would consider priceless, others might just be happy to find workarounds for or recreate. It’s really hard to force people to be interested in things that they aren’t interested in.
- bombcar 3y agoThat's 99% of the reality right there - most people would just shrug and get a new gmail address and a new phone and tell people "oh my email changed". My family enjoys having a simple-to-use Jellyfin setup with Infuse as a front-end; but if I'm dead eventually that ZFS server will fail in one way or another, and they'll shrug and go back to streaming or buying DVDs or something. Attempts to explain are met with "don't bother me with talking about you being dead".
