Data generated by people isn't random, it has statistical regularities that can be used to narrow down the search space and since quantum computers are better at certain kinds of search problems it will be easier to find fragments of files based on just the hashes of the content.

By getting involved in the government and helping prepare for disasters is the very definition of taking responsibility for yourself and being a resource for those around you.

Then you understand that an individual can not fix these problems on their own which is why I recommended joining folks in your local vicinity that are similarly concerned about these issues and then seeing what can be done at the local level to mitigate them collectively instead of individually.

I think the proper way to prep is not individually but communally. See if your local government has any disaster preparation programs and get involved with those. YouTube videos are mostly for driving ad revenue and selling you garbage after making you anxious and don't solve the underlying problem of fragile global supply chains and supply shocks.

The main thing currently that no one seems concerned about is the reduction of grain production from Russia and Ukraine because of the war. This is going to have a global impact and will increase food scarcity that a 3 month individual supply can not do anything about.

And even fewer of those programmers (e.g. Linus, Stallman) are actually the ones that created 80% or more of the software that the rest rely on.
