For a global catastrophe situation (WW3, asteroid) with worst case scenario consequences, here's what comes to mind:

- bootable linux usb drives which can be inserted into any PC.

- archives of programming languages - the source code for the language as well as all the libraries. Eg. mvn, npm, cargo, pip, etc.

- archive of 'important' projects on Github

Ideally, you should be able to boot from USB and compile any application without internet.

- Maps (including trails)

- Growing food - agriculture, raising animals, etc

- Medicine, chemistry, biology, pharmacology books/videos/etc

- Educational programs (like Khan Academy)

- AI models and all the dependencies required to run them offline (eg. GPU drivers, etc).

This archive would be quite clumsy if it came as just a bunch of zip files, so a search index for all this content would be of great help.

I've been long thinking about working on this Archive.. I believe there would be enough people willing to purchase it just for archival purposes.

It would come in handy if we were to travel to other planets too !

Hit me up if you think this is worth working on, I'd happily join/lead such an effort.
