I am specifically asking about software and needed libraries, not stuff like Wikipedia or the writings of Ernest Hemmingway.
To keep people from archiving all of github on thousands of shucked external hard drives cobbled together all Frankenstein-y to create a postapocalyptic data center assume a ~1TB storage limitation. Though I’m sure that person exists here on Lemmy somewhere :D
My first thought was debian installer plus everything on a debian mirror. You could get “all” plus “amd64” in 998gb.
However, the majority of that wouldn’t be very useful. While a bunch of the stuff on the selfhosted awesome list certainly would be.
The problem is, because this hypothetical scenario is so broad, IDK which things would actually be appropriate.
Hey thanks for that second link. I didn’t know about that project and it’s amazing!
Yeah it is very useful, just be aware that it’s not an exhaustive list and not necessarily the most awesome.
It’s a good starting point but it’s always a good idea to check alternativeto.net
Another good resource is linuxserver.io they provide docker containers but rather than just having everything they tend to only have the best of whatever thing.
awesome lists in general are a great thing to search for in a lot of situations
