I am specifically asking about software and needed libraries, not stuff like Wikipedia or the writings of Ernest Hemmingway.

To keep people from archiving all of github on thousands of shucked external hard drives cobbled together all Frankenstein-y to create a postapocalyptic data center assume a ~1TB storage limitation. Though I’m sure that person exists here on Lemmy somewhere :D

    Keeping the electricity on long enough to enjoy games or movies is gonna be difficult if you rely on the grid right now.

    So maybe archive the electronics stack exchange, and solar/battery installation guides so you can steal it if the neighbors roof.

      If internet shuts down you’ll have trouble keeping your life long enough to enjoy this.

      I know it’s a fun hypothetical but without internet wed be falling into an immediate collapse which we might recover from but many wouldn’t make it.

        I don’t think you’re supposed to tease out this scenario too far. It’s a pretty focused question.

            I’m just saying you can answer the question without having to worry about all Nuances and context around it. It’s like saying “what 3 items would you make sure to have in order to survive the zombie apocalypse?“ And someone goes “well without a robust healthcare system I’d likely die of natural causes so it’s moot.”
