A place for people who like to be prepared for realistic disasters both human created and naturally occurring!

We expect there to be thematic overlaps with outdoor, survival, general preparedness, self-sufficient living and resilience... also gear talk is welcomed wholeheartedly.

Where to start? (lemmy.world)

The term prepping can be applied on several levels and means a different thing to different people. From an US American context with broader landscapes, sparse population and fragile delivery routes, to Europan countries with dense population where help seems to be nearby in hours.

Each individual needs to assess their situation and the personal risks for themselves. As a result of that risk assessment people should come up with plans and prepare their techniques and environment accordingly. 
Always having in mind that these topics can lead to a rabbit hole everyone has to decide about the sane and proper level of preparedness. Some might be fine with a bottle of water and a blanket in their car, others might want to prep a whole Get Home Bag to make it through more challenging terrain.

In this post we try to collect some information on where to get started.

Is your torrent application behind a vpn? If so there should be no issue!

You should find if they’re accessible on libgen and MAM. If they’re there I think it isn’t necessary for you to share them yourself.

It isn't so much that I'm using a torrent. It is the sheer size of everything!

Your ISP gives you a bandwidth limit?

[–] ryan_e3p@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. 1.2TB.

Just uploading it not even 2 1/2 times would put me back on their list of shame
