Hypothetically it’s the end of the world. 90% world is gone, infrastructure lies in ruin. But the worst is over now.

The Internet is now just a small collection of devices. Anything bigger any you would have to put it up yourself.

But it’s not that bad, plenty of food and water. Plenty of buildings are still standing. Everyone is friendly and homesteading and farming. So aside from needing to raise your own chickens, and no real organized businesses existing, the apocalypse isn’t the worst. Not too many people around, but now all that’s left is to rebuild.

You decide to setup and run some tech for your local community.

  • What would you do for the community?
  • What would you have prepared?
  • What would you want after the apocalypse? Media? Communication? Websites?

Edit/Clarifications:

  • No one is bothering to start any gangs be murderous bandits. Its nice aftermath of soft apocalypse, people are friendly and helpful where they can be.
  • Maybe virus killed 90% population but everyone who lived is completely immune(no one you love died). idk details its just fun setup for the hypothetical.
  • There are no laws. There aren’t enough people to enforce anything. But everyone is pretty reasonable and sticking to their own lane. No murder hobos, no real thieves. Worst thing that can happen to you is a neighbor keeps trying to sell you live chickens that you don’t want or need.
  • SELF HOST. Software, hardware. limited yet unlimited. What do you do??
