  • It ‘can’ be cheaper for the quality, but it’s still a lot of work.

    You need to preserve what you can’t eat outright.

    You need to recapture/dry/replant the seeds

    You need to compost.

    You need to tend / maintain the soil.

    You need to deal with pests.

    You’re still not cheaper than farmer fred who’s sitting on literally 10 tons of squash.

    You can literally work odd jobs and have more food security then trying to garden.

  • Even potatoes don’t have all that many calories.

    If you WERE to try to prep your way to sustainable. you’re going to have to buy/store starches in bulk and use the garden +canning for nutrients.

  • There’s a farm store near me. When stuff hits actual season, you can walk over there a buy a 25lb box of peppers for $15. The rest of the year it hot house, which is still damn good, but nowhere near as cheap.

  • Timing is hard. They product like mad in a very short window.

    Canning is a layer of hell.

    Freeze dryers are slow, expensive and consume a lot of electricity.

    If I had the time/space, I’d stagger my planting, start it indoors, start another batch on time and another late.

  • Beherens cans are rodent resistant and cheap at home depot and lowes.

    Costco sells 25lb and 50lbs bags of rice and bulk vitamins.

    Bulk dry beans and mylar bags are cheap.

    Supplement with some ebay freeze dried eggs/veggies.

  • Don’t log it, you can’t be compelled to hand over data you don’t have. They said outright that they didn’t log it.

    Run SMTP purely on IO sockets. Don’t make files. You draft your email into your own cryptographically secure blob, When it’s time to send it, you fire it through an SMTP daemon built to use memory only, once it’s gone it’s gone. If the govt wants that data, they can go to the ISP for it. Maybe it communicates securely with SMTP servers set up in countries that are actually good at observing privacy.

    Good Guy security provider could also terminate your account or lose your password.

    The thing is, they oversold their security. They’re STILL overselling their security. The release rabid PR dogs / Trolls out there to discount/discredit people bitching about the situation.
