Interesting trivia: Do you know that VAX 780 from 1978 is still supported by CURRENT(2026!) version of NetBSD? :D

First modern 32 bit CPU with MMU.

Back then most common CPUs were 386 and 486DX - in real life they can't decode 44khz stereo mp3 file in realtime[1].

Only later Pentium 233mmx could handle mp3 decode in background + game (UT or Q3 Arena lets say).

[1]. Yes it is possible to play mp3 at 386SX 33mhz using magic with mplayer or mpg123(?) or (forgot the name) but it needs to be downgraded to 11khz, mono and other tricks.

No. Unemployed, single, depressed. With job and women life was so simple.

Therapy and antidepressants does not help.

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.

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.
