I don’t know who here likes Horizon games, but I like how many parallels the writers put in the game that reflect the state of the world.
a bit of a game spoiler
Like the whole premise of the story is exactly what this article mentioned: a multi billionaire CEO with a god complex completely wiped out the entire human database to erase any information of how he destroyed the world to protect his ego and image. Also why the new world is basically just bronze age level tribes.
I agree. I recommend most people don’t go overboard, but they can still do their part.
Save the things you like and are relevant to you. Movies, shows, games, music, books, etc. You don’t have to be an archivist. Storing data should be something that reflects you, personally, and it should genuinely be more enjoyable as a result.
It should feel good to preserve and be responsible for another copy of the information you like.
Music is a no brainer for me since it’s something that is infinitely re-enjoyable (if that’s a word) and it doesn’t have to take up much space, without reasonable compromises to quality.
I bought a digital audio player last year so that I could be offline and disconnected when I go out but still enjoy music. One of my favourite purchases the last few years.
Lots of people hoard data. The problem is keeping it in a working state. Think about how many people have old towers or laptops in their garage or basement never to look at those downloads or vacation photos again.

That’s “free space”. The 414 represents ~62% of my space (38% used). I’m at just under 700 for usable space. And 2 disks are out of the array at the moment because the backplane went stupid. Turns out that it’s a pain in the ass to open server chassis to replace a backplane when you have to unmount 70 disks. And I’m pretty lazy.

8TB reporting for duty. 🫡😂
Seriously though. What’s the best help to lend out say 2tb?
Edit:This is a serious question.
I think it was annas archive that has a page for what data they need mirrored the most based on your storage space available. After looking into it.
You can take a look at Interplanetary File System and see what data you want to mirror.
IpFS like ddh says makes the most sense probably. But you can archive a lot of raw text. Try to save what you think the Nazis would burn. I doubt archive.org survives many more years. Leaked archives of american research papers too.
