Inflation-linked bonds

With the growing concerns around potential upcoming inflation, I’ve been wondering if our “money tree” should include additional protection against inflation. I want to avoid decorating the tree with dead matter such as gold or commodities. They may shine for a while, in the long run they’ll just pull down the branches.

Initially it worked for a fairly remote router (different building), and after reshuffling things it keeps connecting via WiFi instead of Ethernet.
