This question is mainly for those that have family/friends depending on their self-hosted services/data. Does anyone have a plan for the worst case scenario in terms of data access/passwords/making sure your services are kept running if people depend on them? I know I sure don't, it's just a strange curiosity my brain thought up and I wondered if anyone else had considered this?

I decided very long ago not to pollute the gene pool, so everything dies with me.

ETA: It's comforting to know that 10 people agreed with my life decision. /s LOL
