Microfilm Is basically the only method that will work until the end of this planet when stored properly. Governments usually store important data on microfilm in deep bunkers.
Btw, a HDD technically can last forever as the stuff is physically written into the plate. The problem is accessing the data.
Magnetic tape drives are also a idea, they are slow and all but basically indestructible, same goes for the reader. You "just" need to make shure you have a adapter XD
And no, CDs are not the longest lasting. If you want to store shound forever, vinyls are your friend.
Digital storage is hard to preserve, make stuff physical if you want to have ot in many years.
No. Its just a problem in the production process, when done wrong it can be a problem for the environment. But besides that, no, you can even eat from it.
It tells that you have no fucking clue. The magnetic writing is physical. And i have drives older than you that still work fine. A HDD disk lasts technically forever when keep inside its Faraday cage (outside the magnetic storms from the sun could damage it), the problem is the part that needs electricity to keep stuff stored, wich is the most important part when you want to access the data, as it contains the information about where what is stored, without that you would read a shit load of 0 an 1 but without actual meaning (its technically possible to compose Coherent data but its in short basically gambling with disadvantage)
Did you read? The data corruption comes from the controller dieing, wich is exactly what i said. This isn't the disk itself, its about the (basically) SSD that stores the data about what is where on the disks and the firmware necessary to access it.
I talked specifically about the disks itself, not the HDD in general, the HDD contains a SSD wich needs power to stay alive.
My point was that the plates themselves will keep the data forever unless they are exposed to strong magnetic interferences (earths own magic field isn't really a problem as its pretty stable, it's mostly bringing other magnets close or having them exposed in a solar storm wich would cause actual damage to the plate)
Are you insane? A Faraday cage protects against magnetic fields and other interferences, thats why they exists, the earths magnetic field is no problem btw, its actually protecting our shit because ot keeps most of the magnetic Solarstroms away from our electronics.
It was also just a fun fact type of info, as its impractical, the data may be there but access will be lost in the near future, that was what i said as well. I suggest microfilm or vinyl. Nobody is going to take care of the stuff after you die anyway.
(btw you could pay say AWS to keep your archive forever, as long as Amazon exists it will be ported and always accessible, paying after your death would be a problem however...)
All would come with the problem that the companys stop investing into research. This would be compensatable by government funded research, but it would be a very large restructuring.
I think its ok for them to hold patents for some medicine, as long as they sell it for a reasonable price. Those patents however should expire after like 5 years.
Languages like English (as a second language) are usually learned because they enable you to connect more, its however no necessary thing where you live. English opens up about half the internet for you, Spanish another 30% (not actual numbers) and they aren't hard to learn.
Russian however is not spoken outside of Russia and many Russians (especially Internet Russians do speak English)
I noticed increased frequency of posts in places like r/rpghorrorstories, that describe a situation where the player brings a tiny veiled or just a shameless copy of a popular fictional character - Sokka, Scanlan, John Snow, Walter White - except "more based" or "less of a cuck". What follows is a story of the player doing some...
Buying supports their fascist regime (also those phones are likely made with forced labor from their holocaust knockoff) and there is very likely Spyware on the phone.
Now someone might say its also on all other phones but from USA, but they don't bother my freedom or try to take over the world like fucking cartoon villains also they are allies of my country.
Actually I'm very aware of that, i do however look Into not buying stuff made in China as much as possible. Of course i cant see inside products to see that it's actually 0 China, but i mostly buy local stuff (made in EU) and there is mostly no china inside.
There are however definitely things that you cant buy without china inside, mostly electronics, they basically all have at least some Chinese components inside. Sometimes Taiwan is labeled as China as well, so its pretty much impossible to avoid it in electronics.
But avoiding it as much as possible is good enough for me.
Hi. I'm thinking about switching to Linux on my smartphone. The only reason I can't is because in my country WhatsApp is everywhere and I'm expected to have it for various school/sport things. I'd like to setup whatsapp on my laptop, but I don't know how....
Unless we speak about the pirates that go into a store and take something its never stealing. You don't take away someones property, you just copy it. Wich can't be stealing by default.
I mean i don't want to be in China in general. Proton worked fine last time i was there (10 years ago) and they are working on a stealth protocol to circumvent blocks of wireguard and openvpn protocols.
Mullvad doesn't have port forwarding, otherwise its good. There are some good providers along Proton, but not many and most are not reputable, Nord for example...
Initially maybe, but they use a Algorithm to detect VPNs and other holes in their filter and they will block you eventually, or they just scan your traffic regardless of a VPN (yes that's possible, although very Costly)
