My dad, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2007, kept a spiral-bound notecard notebook. In it he left advice and quotes for his kids. It's one of my most cherished possessions. I created a secret, but publicly accessible, website using HTML 1.0 and is organized as a wiki that is a collection of stuff for my kids.

It's mostly quotes and my own advice on various topics. There are also links to YouTube videos, music, etc. all of which I am downloading to protect against link rot. The intention is to have it live well beyond me for future generations. It's my 1000-year site with instructions on how to keep it going.

That is so wholesome. I’ve thought of creating a wiki to leave a digital legacy for my own offspring and this is inspiring me to get going. Which tool did you use? I’ve been happy with DokuWiki on another project because it’s a flat-file wiki, and thus less likely to break or lose compatibility over decades.
