@shortridge first, sorry for your loss. I’m one of those cybersecurity zealots (?) and this is a use cases where I can agree. I think the real trick is putting in a spot where its accessible but otherwise safely tucked away. As morbid as this might sound everyone should have a “in case of death” folder/safe/lockbox/thing. Even before cybersecurity or smartphones or the internet were things, I’ve heard stories of so many households falling into disarray without one… 4 comments
@shortridge I agree. I’ve got what my family calls a digital Fort Knox so I should probably get on organizing my own in case (well, when) I bite the dust. In any case, I hope you’re doing at least ok. @avoidthehack @shortridge Obv it's NOT morbid, and maybe a step toward reframing our inevitable mortality is to call it "UPON death," not "in case of," as though death were something that might or might not happen to us. @callisto you’re not wrong. It’s wildly uncomfortable to think about your own mortality… even though it’s inevitable. |

@avoidthehack it's true, a "in case of death / emergencies" file or box is so useful. and usually it's not that difficult to obscure it within a residence.
no one wants to think about their demise or incapacitation, but it's worth preparing the basics our trusted humans might need in that situation... and organizing it in a way that assumes those humans will not be thinking clearly, either.
