Comment on Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen

There’s nothing on my systems that anyone else needs to survive. They can wipe the drives and run a bunch of web servers that only serve up hamsterdance in perpetuity for all I care.

If I did need something like that I’d program some kind of dead man’s switch to email instructions with a master password to a trusted party if I didn’t log on for 2 weeks or something. Then hope I never end up in a coma or otherwise incapacitated but not dead. There are 3rd parties that do that kind of thing but I wouldn’t trust them and would roll my own.

I was thinking about such a system also, but it has some serious drawbacks:

I need to connect to it regularly. Auto login is of course not an option, that defeat the purpose. So, which service/stuff am I using that could be this switch? I see any.

time limit to send the message is also tricky. 2 weeks is too long imo, they may need some info about insurances sooner. And 2 weeks is already short, as you need to authenticate to the switch

So, as a farewell message why not, but I would not trust such system to deliver in a tilely manner information that they need.
