Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

A recent post by a person headed to Antarctica has me wondering...

What's the most remote / disconnected data hoard you're aware of? I'm picturing a cabin in the mountains with terabytes of data on a solar powered server, that kind of thing. Starlink has given us connectivity pretty much planet-wide, but there's no substitute for a massive server with your own data on a local network.
