  You can not.

  There is not a safe and reliable way to store digital information for such big time span while off.

  The maximum you could get is some programmable eeprom and usually no vendor will bet that the information is accesible after 15 years while power off.

  But once this is said, there a re few things you con do to maximize your chances.

  From the technology point of view everything that is using old nand-flash technology should give you decent chances after 15 years power off. To ensure better probabilities use a fs with possibilities of storing recovery /parity/ checksum data. And try to store in a environment with minimum changes in temp, humidity and radiation (electromagnetic, solar).

  And cross some fingers

  Please elaborate.

  As far as I know a very important side effect of the capitalism is the great concentration of power (aka money) in just some small individuals and how this creates an oligarchy which the only objective of extracting value form the other layers of the society. And of course the self perpetuation.

  This have been happening since monopolies were created since centuries ago.

  I really want to see how a system that by nature is concentrating power in some individuals really is really a de federated thing.
