Not completely daft

But a bit less daft might be to translate things like the Foxfire books

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxfire_(magazine)#Books

to something like Ikea directions, print them on similarly robust media, and "plant" them in a number of places (physical LOCKSS archives).

Not that it will help when the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything requires a .DLL (or .so) that somehow was missed.

_maybe_ this time people will have become less of a laughing stock in the universe, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Of course, it would require that the Disney lawyers haven't managed to extend copyright to "life of the solar system plus 70 years".
