I believe this can be achieved by two ways.

1) Store your website content in a non digital format. Example: print book that is saved in a public library.

2) Have enough funds to pay for a service that will last for 100 years. Maybe using torrents or ipfs or archive.org?. If your content bring some value to enough people, someone will make a backup.

I love the non-digital format idea and I wonder how it could be automated.

I suppose I'm assuming that I myself will (🤞) be living for the next 100 years to maintain this website. So I'm more looking to ease my maintenance and having some fun with long-term thinking. The archival angle is important if I were to suddenly go offline!

Several static site generators are also able to produce PDF or txt versions of the content. I used Sphinx successfully in a similar context.
