You are stuck in a timeloop, but your memory also gets reset every loop; But you are able to preserve 1024 Bytes of information between each reset, how would you use this "memory buffer"?

Its basically like a cloud storage, and your local storage (your brain) gets wiped every loop. You can edit this file any time you want using your brain (you can be tied up and it still works). 1024 Bytes is all you get. Yes you read that right: BYTES, not KB, MB, or GB: 1024 BYTES
Lets just say, for this example: The loop is 7 days form a Monday 6 AM to the next Monday 5:59 AM.
How do you best use these 1024 Bytes to your advantage?
How would your strategy be different if every human on Earth also gets the same 1024 Bytes "memory buffer"?

Assuming that I understand that I am able to carry this information over, I would just make a text file of library of Babel URLs.
With a single string, you can encode an entire page of data.
On that page of data, you can have strings that encode additional pages of data.
I would have an entire blog of posts to myself to read at every reboot.
Who did I sleep with? How much money did I win? What cool things happened? What things did I try to do?
I would also tell myself when a stunt might kill me, and if I don't update the document to say that I survived, then I would know in the future that that did kill me.

Love the idea so much that I tried it. Turns out a url for a babel page is around 2,000 bytes :-(

For it to work you have to use the bookmarkable function with the default generated bookmark
https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?fxqtvtsugtpifjm,113
This code would be the code or one of the codes that it would definitely generate to create this string of text.

Bookmarks are created afterwards.
If you use the bookmark after the time is reset, the bookmark wouldn't be created yet.
Edit: Example: https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?year2025march2lemmytimetravel
I'm pretty sure "year2025march2lemmytimetravel" doesn't exist as a bookmark 7 days ago.

Surely this wouldn't work anyway since the pages would reset (ie to unwritten) at the beginning of the loop to the same state as on the first day. Otherwise, you could achieve the same thing just by writing a journal.
