I've been archiving information for a long time. I recently got a steam deck but i didn't get it just for gaming. It's a computer that requires a relatively little amount of power to run. Less than a laptop i would say. I have about 300gb of ebooks (the entire survival library and other stuff like medicine, woodworking, carpentry, pharmacology, water works, banking, survival, infographics, you name it) saved on an external hard drive that doesn't require power other than from the computer it's plugged into. I also have a powerful solar power bank that will charge my steam deck (and a usb c hub to plug in the external drive) So if the power grid ever goes down, like down down, when i eventually run out of gas to power my generator i'll have pretty much all the information a group of people would need to rebuild society, even if its just a small local group of people in my town. Other people in the area will surely have sources of power too so i'd of course share everything i have with them as well.

This isn't a commercial for the steam deck, this thread is just to bring to everyone's attention that beyond food, water, and shelter, if society collapses, people will also need access to information for all sorts of things so it might be a good idea to prepare for a world where electricity and access to information is scarce. Thank you.
