Total apocalipse is not possible (Earth is so large that it's impossible nuke EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE.
But if this is just experiment "what if" those are thing that I would suggest to do:
- Forget about computers and programming and gadgets
- DO NOT STAY IN BUNKER, INSTEAD FIND FRIENDS!
- Focus on FARMING as team
- Scavending for potatoes, grain etc - for seeds!
- FARMING
- FARMING
- FARMING
- FARMING
- FARMING
- HARVEST
- FOOD = LIFE
What you really need is:
- water (well or river)
- water filter (from sand, rocks, and wood ash) for human consumtion.
- fire (easy - a lot of lighters laying around, if not use your glasses!)
- fuck cars and fuel - you are not going anywhere as you need to do FARMING
- CORN, POTATOES, WHEAT production (parts that we dont eat are perfect food for sheeps or goats!)
- SHEEPS, GOATS production (milk and meat!)
- SHELTER: there must be plenty empty houses in this scenario (everyone died!).
- Do forming for few years. Then you grow and grow.
You could sell food in futre and rebuild society,
maybe as agroculture baron. :)
OPTIONAL: [you dont need electricity as farmer!]
- electricy from solar panels ("borrow" them) or from wind (you can use any electrical engine for it! For example from washing machine :). This stuff is hard but doable.
The #1 commodity in a scenario where society breaks down is trust. Trust allows you to form networks and benefit from specialization and cooperation. After you've established your basic, immediate needs(water, shelter) focus on building trust and relationships.
You need the tractor and fuel for farming or else you are going to waste your entire life farming and not getting anywhere. You need the car to transport and trade with others. Honestly, a lot of Africans won't notice anything different in a technology apocalypse.
You need tractors if you're farming for tens or hundreds of thousands of people. In which case it's probably not the apocalypse yet.
As the OP says the knowledge of making enough food to keep yourself, your family and your probably decimated community fed and healthy is the number 1 requirement for surviving civilisational breakdown.
Yes, this is a skip-level discussion. Don't threaten to leave, or anyhting. Just patiently ask why you're not getting feedback (written or verbal) on why you didn't get a raise. Make it clear you're interested in learning precisely what you need to do to qualify for one.
If at that point they dont' give you actionable feedback, get a competitive job offer and share it with the head of HR at your company along wiht a short note saying that you can't afford to keep working there.
I'm doing the same.
In some companies you can't just get ssh to outside world, or download some stuff from github... So I stick to defaults and I try to do development on single machine.
Therapy and antidepressants does not help.
