A "simple page" but it needs multiple SaaS API keys (Openrouter, Resend, Textbelt) AND requires Temporal? I can't see how this will last/be reliable for an extended period of time.
Also, how do you prevent spam?

Learning my 1Password recovery key took quite a while, but should allow me to do a cold reboot of my digital life.
Yubikeys could be cheaper. In addition to the two I have, I bought two more to store offsite with friends and family for redundancy (with access to my password manager + important email accounts).
Cheaper than learning a recovery key?
Yubikey redundancy is a great idea though

#73When I was really bad at speeding all the time I had this fear I'd go to jail and my cat would die alone in my apt. So I started working on my own dead man switch, I actually have not finished it but I at least bought him like a self-feeding thing that would last a month or more and he unfortunately drinks out of the toilet too so I leave the top cover off. I've recently stopped or working on stopping the triple digi…
Fear you'd go to jail, but not crash and die or be in a coma? I think cats can tolerate a week without food which should be longer than your jail sentence.

Yeah fear is funny, I'm/was(?) afraid to talk to women, but no problem with 160mph or whatever, I mean really it's the car if it's solid it rides smooth. But yeah at least I'm pursuing a new thrill now (women). Keep in mind though I'm in the midwest and this is on a big ass highway during the day.

Good luck to you. I also share the fear about approaching women, so you're not alone there. Good luck, I hope you find success in love.

Re: Show HN: I made an emergency page for my family
#78In a wider disaster, such as a fire, earthquake, tornado or hurricane both companies and families want to contact employees or loved ones to make sure that they are OK. Unfortunately, land networks, Internet, links and mobile networks may be compromised by the emergency further, people may be caught away from home. Their laptop or mobile device might run out of power.
I thought a solution might be some type of “check-in” service - especially for employees. Are you OK? How can we reach you? Are you available for work? Do you need assistance? Etc.
Things like slack, teams, etc. can fit the bill so it was not really monetizable.

Do you know another way to fit a 3000 long message into a 160ish SMS?
Don't write long messages in an emergency. If it can't fit in one message, it probably doesn't matter. Instead of trying to predict everything, allow communication. Let them figure it out, don't command them.
Also, you might consider using existing messaging app. Then you can interact if have them install the app. Matrix might work. I think Matrix can do SMS.
