  3. Amazon Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost storage service for data archiving and long-term backup.
    Who knows what the next 500 years will bring in terms of communication. I know some artists have experimented with aircraft grade aluminum and titanium as a medium for long-lived artwork. If I had to do something digital today, it would probably involve prepaying Amazon Glacier https://aws.amazon.com/s3/glacier/ and faster s3 for as long as possible, then whatever long term plans I could muster for continuation- a foundation or trust of some sort?

    * 57709.5 TB transfered S3 Standard cost (monthly): $134,680.98 USD. Or $1,616,171.76 per year. That was just an exercise to figure out the maximum possible cost of hosting a simple web page. Obviously you'll probably get closer to zero visits per year over time, and maybe up to $10 per year in hosting costs. Anyway let's just say $100 per year. Pay for it with investment returns, assuming an extremely safe withdrawal rate of 0.5%. You'll need to invest $20,000 (100 / 0.005) in a mix of ETFs, bonds, cryptocurrencies, gold, etc. That should guarantee that your money lasts through the next 1000 recessions, nuclear wars, ice ages, etc. [1] https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Landauer%27s_principle [2] https://nissan.com [3] https://ens.domains [4] https://docs.ens.domains/frequently-asked-questions [5] https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing [6] https://calculator.aws/#/createCalculator/S3.
