I’m talking like photos of important moments of your life, and perhaps deceased loved ones or deceased pets. Maybe favorite TV, Movies, Youtube videos, stuff that might be lost when you get released. Let’s say like 1-5 terabytes worth of stuff.

Hard Drives at home wouldn’t be an option, since they’d get confiscated. If you bury a hard drive in the woods, it could get corroded.

I was thinking foreign cloud, but then you wouldn’t be able to keep paying the subscription since they’d probably try to seize your assets.

“Lifetime” cloud plans are kinds shady, I’m not sure if I could trust them.

So… what are the options? (Hypothetically)

And yes, budget is a huge factor. A person facing persecution would not have billions to create a dedicated building to store an archive.

    1. Encrypt your data.
    2. Make a disk image.
    3. Make a torrent of that image.
    4. Start a cult where the torrenting your data determines the ranking within the order.
    5. Come up with a cool name and logo for the cult. Maybe something like “The Archivists of Eternity” for example.
    6. ???
    7. Profit

      If 4. is too hard (like, if you’re not cool enough), make two versions and send them out to different groups. “Secret files of Trump and Epstein; help us break the encryption!” And, “Free America Foundational Sovereign Data (Crucial For Rebuilding Society Once Trump Finishes Overturning The Corrupt Bureaucracy)”
