I'm seeing a lot of warnings about likely catastrophes involving cyber-warfare. I have mixed feelings about this. I'm not such an expert as to have all the answers by any means. Instead, I've learned to trust certain voices that have been consistent with my experience and things in general. It's not as if I can give you a list, because some of those voices show up only on forums operated by others.
You can easily go whole-hog and panic like this guy. I think he's overstating things, besides which he is trying to sell you something. His outline is okay, but he makes more money from getting folks to panic. From what I've learned through reading guys who really know this stuff, cyber attacks don't work like that, in the sense that Russian hackers cannot take down the whole Western Internet system, nor can they use it to destroy every major supply system. On the other hand, the linked article does a decent job of asking the right questions.
The bigger threat is our own government. We all know about how those high-level simulation exercises are nothing more than pre-staging false flag events they plan to use against us. It was that way with COVID-19, and other disasters going back at least as far as the Murrah Building bombing here in my own area. So when our elite folk go to participate in simulations about things happening with the Internet, we know they are planning something ugly. For now, it looks like they plan to create excuses to restrict how we access the Net, and what we are allowed to see. Killing the Net itself would hurt them too much.
This is why I've warned that the Internet will become useless to us for things like fellowship, because they will likely restrict any content produced by us little people. Think about the current wave of censorship we've been seeing on Big Tech services, and imagine it being applied across the board. Seems to me there will be censorship boards activated for everything, but instead of a government office, it will be something private, but governed by the common wokie ideology. It remains to be seen how it will be implemented, but I'm expecting to be shut down myself in one way or another, sooner or later.
I also believe that censoring private communications will be much, much harder than the elite imagine. Encrypted email from neutral providers -- there are some -- will take far longer to shut down, and it may never actually happen. I tend to believe we'll see a major solar event before that happens. In other words, we will probably have encrypted email services until there is no service for anybody at all.
Yes, low powered computing devices and solar charging stuff is probably a good idea if you can afford it. That will give you the greatest longevity in terms of staying connected. I've been studying how to keep doing what I really need to do on Android, for example. It isn't so much my love for tablets and Chromebooks, but the near certainty that I need to keep track of what's possible under various scenarios. I need to keep track of what I can do against what I should not do with them.
