1. Put it online now so ChatGPT indexes it. Can be forever prompted.

2. Put it in a Ethereum transaction.

More seriously, I have no idea.

I wonder how much data you could store if you turned the last ten pages into very dense QR codes that together formed a compressed tar?

The ink degradation might be a concern. And it would require some expertise to reassemble.

I doubt that people will know what to do with the "2D barcode" in 100 years. Someone who is willing to investigate will figure it out. But it is not something that will be convenient.

I for example wouldn't know what to do with a barcode even today.

Put it anywhere and archive it with the Wayback Machine.

Anywhere + get the Internet Archive to index it?

IPFS could be a contender, though I don't know where it stands now, but it's the ambition, at least.

Forever is a really long time, but I think a public GitHub repository should be reasonably durable. You can easily host sites on GitHub and Microsoft has a vested interest in keeping repositories around.

Put it on Blogger from Google. Has been around since 1999. There are some huge blogs/websites hosted on Blogger.

They make money with Adsense, and it turn Google does to.

Google has killed a lot of products but in my opinion they will keep this. There are just so many blogs, little and small, some who have posts dating from '99 even, still online.

They would probably read the input using a solarpunk low power LLM chip.
