Continued thread

Wir hatten hier ja vor ein paar Wochen, 2 Stunden (!) Totalausfall. Das war schon unangenehm.
Mehrere Tage lassen alles zusammenbrechen.
Und wir wissen ja nun, dass wir uns auf den Staat nicht verlassen können und haben während Corona gesehen, wie schnell unsere Mitmenschen durchdrehen. #shtf
Deshalb nochmal der Hinweis:
Das erste, das ihr in diesem Fall macht:
Wasservorrat anlegen!

Warum sammel ich Wasser, wenn der Strom ausfällt? Weil du nie wissen kannst, ob das erst der Anfang ist.
Ohne Strom kann man überleben. Ohne Wasser nicht. Essen kann man rationieren. Ein paar trockene Vorräte hat jede Zuhause.
Und wenn nicht grad tiefster Winter ist, geht's auch ohne Heizung.
Aber ohne Wasser? #shtf

Tip to save your life.

If you ever need to call for help in an emergency (police/fire/rescue/etc) you need to give your location. What if you are not at a street address or you do not know the address?

GPS chips in phones all basically work the same way. They produce (1) your latitude longitude coordinates in decimal degrees and (2) an accuracy value in meters.

Caution! When you first turn location services ‘on’ the accuracy value could easily be over 5,000 meters.

Caution! Some software (looking at you Google maps) only displays coordinates and does not display the equally important accuracy value.

findmesar.com is an open source #ProgressiveWebApp (PWA) I developed that displays your coordinates and accuracy value in several formats. It can be installed on Android and iOS for offline use. **Not available in any app store, not on GitHub and 100% enshitification free.**

To give it a try, open FindMeSAR, scroll down and tap ‘No’ and then give permission to use your location. Now tap ‘Next format’ to scroll through the various formats.

For instructions on how to install it for offline use, tap ‘Tips’.

Other buttons let you copy the data to the clipboard and, if your device is online, open the GISsurfer web map with a marker at your location. I am the GISsurfer dev and you can read more about it at gissurfer.com.
