Bury your computers in your back yard for fun and profit. Wait, no, not profit. Expense.
I dug a grave for a couple of Raspberry Pi 3 B+ coffins (additional coffin with Raspberry Pi 4 coming eventually), and connected them to a TRENDnet power over Ethernet switch to keep them alive. These Linux servers are an alternative to offsite backups, being protected from natural disasters and theft by a layer of earth.

Impressive craftsmanship
it is very fun project, but...
1. not deep enough. For nuclear protection you should go 2-4 meters, to avoid seasonal temperature drift you should go at least 1m. You dont want your container to sit inside frozen soil :)
2. hdd holds data way better than cheap flash drives.
3. If lightning hits your house, your pi`s are done.
This is cool !
Neat project. I was thinking about something similar for a backup (shed, actually. And trying to figure out temperature regulation in winter..)
What about digging farther down using an auger? You could go way below the frost line.
An auger definitely would have been helpful.. I may rent one for my next experiment!
And this is all kinda new to me, but fwiw the last computer I had in the outdoor enclosure survived between ~ -20C and 38C temperatures. For cold weather, you'd probably be OK with a sealed enclosure because the computer will self-heat to an extent. But I suppose it depends how cold winters get where you are.
