 Firstly you will need to have a user account on one or more of your friends servers.  They don't necessarily need to be using Freedombone, just some version of GNU/Linux with ssh access.  They can create a user account for you with the *adduser <username>* command when logged in as root and then give you the username and password via a secure method, such as on paper or via an encrypted email or via an XMPP chat using OTR. Make sure that the password used is a strong one - preferably a long random string stored in a password manager - so that dictionary attacks will fail. Also for maximum resilience put your password manager file onto a USB thumb drive and carry it with you.

 This is the ultimate disaster recovery scenario in which you are beginning completely from scratch with new hardware and a new Freedombone installation. It is assumed that the old hardware was destroyed, but that you have the passwords stored within a password manager on a USB thumb drive.
