i often wonder about the value of very specific files that i keep around. im one of those people who has the entirety of old hard drives from 20+ years ago that were dropped into folders that persist to my current hard drive. so whenever i'm running backups i see the files going by. files which are called things like "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4.msi" and like. in theory somebody might need that one day. but how would they know that i, of all people, have it? how would i reach them

@jk Mention it on a website that will get indexed and use something like a torrent magnet link or a reverse tunnel for hosting?

@jk: you post them on Internet Archive.

For example, any versions of Roblox from 2006 or before.
