>just remembered that all my data backed up on CDs and DVDs will decay and my external SSDs and HDDs will gradually lose data due to cosmic ray bit flipsHow the FUCK am I supposed to protect my data for the rest of my life?
>>107644638encrypt it with a 256-bit diceware password written on a paper and then upload to everywhere you can
You're supposed to transfer them on fresh media every once in a while but yeah it's a lot to keep track off if you don't have this scheduled
>>107644638if only you could make fresh backups every 10 years.oh look, you can. stop being a fucktard
>>107644638here's something else to worry about. sure all your data is backed up to DVDs but how many DVD drives do you own now they are no longer made?how will you extract your data in 30 years when all your optical drives lasers have failed?
>>107644638>cosmic raysFake and gay.>>107644723Chinks will keep making them.
>>107644638You can etch the bits into a solid glass cube and it will remain as eternal ROM
>>107644638>external ssds and hddsDo it properly.
I have my entire lives files on a 15 year old Seagate 500gb HDD that I picked up on eBay for $5.
>>107644678SPBPthat's the real answer. but of course it's too much for a zoomie to maintain his oh so precious data projekt properly by making a new copy once per decade or so
>>107644960be careful not to drop it though
>>107644638
>>107644638Ive got stuff from the ‘90s backed up on CDROMs.It’s still fine.It takes a lot of bit flips to make it go bad, I used to check out CDs and DVDs from the library… wash them… eww… and rip them with no issues.Keep them in a ziploc in a metal box in a cool place. Don’t store them in your attic where it’s 200 degrees in the summer and -30 degrees in the winter.
