not because of the hardware.

The main cost is the hardware you could have open source NAS OS’s

The thing you read about optical discs is not about HTL inorganic blurays

You read about CD’s which uses an organize layer for the data.

Inorganic HTL blurays lasts 50+ years, and can be stored in room temperature and at high humidity.

About the box, those sleeves are not.designed for archival disc archival storage boxes protect blurays from scratches

And sony Archival Discs are inside a cartridge protected from scratches

By toxic waste do you mean your ex?

I think NAS is great for techies but optica disc storage is better option for family memories and stuff.

A NAS need maintenance and can get expensive.

LTO tape take a lot of care, I just read about it again.

It needs proper storage and maintenace and even then it last for 30 years.

Optical media last 50+ years and storage conditions is just normal home climate. I think for childhood memories, important documents, wedding videos is a perfect medium.

Because I believe for home use optical disc in a cartridge is easier.

*I might be wrong, but I remember LTO tape must be stored at certain RH and condition.

And they last for 30 years, maybe

And VHS tapes. Ade the idea of a tape around a spool feeels like it is not as robust as a disc.

Having said that, iffff consumer version of lto tape drives was out there it would be as cool.

But I still feel discs are more safer.

You see, I could salvage archival optical disc if I got flooded or if they went through extreme temperature.

Is shitting in your diaper considered shitting yourself?

I am not sure what your comments mean. I am in tremendous back pain. And didn’t sleep For so long, and the fucking humidity.

I want to add more. And vent.

I am old enough and I saw similar actions, and the out come of it.

Slwoly we are forced to use ESIMS, where I live, I have to pay every time I switch phones.

And if I am outside of the country, I can’t even switch phones.

I love the idea of esims, but not how it is implemented.

Digiral data produced by me is so.expensive to keep.

It is the digital age, but not a digital .storage age, it is cheaper to print shit.

Optical storage can store terabytes of data, easy to maintain, you can design a device where the hdd store meta data and anyone from your family cam access the data stored on archival optical drives.

It is not built because they want us to use the cloud. Maybe it is greed, control, surveillance.

I just want a simple cartridge that can store my data for decads and technologically that is easily done. There are already archival optical storage sold to data centers, but why not to small businesses or consumers!?!?

It is basically several bluray discs in a cartridge.

The future is dark because of human nature.

And we will do nothing about because look at state of printers. The ink cost more than gold per gram

Look at air purifiers all proprietary filters that are over priced

And yes I know about CR boxes but those furnace filters are only sold in USA.

We are not good creatures

Sorry, I am coherent enough to know I am not coherent, I needed to vent.

Future is dark:

1. Android getting locked down

2. They are asking your government ID to use OS, access internet etc.

There must be real protest, revolution, something otherwise it will just get worst

wish me to be filthy rich

I am so fat, friend, are you sure? I might be too heavy

I am around 40.

Been living alone since 2018.

I wish if I lived in a town bouse/villa not in apartment.

Going sitting outside… I miss that.

Recently I realized I am not intellectually disabled, I am just mentally retarded, meaning I have a slow cpu.

Before realizing that, I learned finally how to clean and wipe the bothroom floor without going crazy and spending a long time. It used to take hours, I do.it.under 15 minutes…OH YEAH BABY.

I BAVE a hypothesis, that maybe if I changed apartment, I will have this problem again. I think not, but maybe.

I also learned… I forgot, I have e learned two things this year and it took me decades.

I have MCI, suspected, there is no real test to know, just a random neurologist testing you with a short exam.

2026 been tough, dude, I am from the country which is attacked but Donald the orange boy, and I am in a country where they might deport me any day. I was born here, dude.

Hope that won’t happen.

I revealed some private stuff🤦‍♂️ I don’t know how 😅 the second part of my reply was me thinking I am messaging an online reddit friend who I talk with every morning while he commute!

The brain is fried, dude.

Thanks for that cool comment, I gave it one and half upvote… you can do that now if you have special account.

Oh, I got that… I have autism I am slow but intelligent.

It is just I felt to apologize because I don’t know why I decided to post that, I even searched online after I posted, so I am apologizing to wasting felllow community members time with a question that should’ve not been asked, ohhh… I remember!!!

I asked because at that moment I felt it is fun to hear from other’s going through this or know someone or are expert in the subject.

Everything seemed fun, was kinda delirious and curious and happy. It is rare these days.

I slept under 3 hours and now I don’t feel sleepy, I will be awake all night. I cried for an old man I know who is diapers now.

I wish if I could call him and apologize.

But I was more crying for myself and my health.

I don’t know what to do, I can’t go back to the country where I am from where Orange boy is attacking and I live in a country where it will deport me any day and I am too tired both… thorry I have a lithp.

I just want to die here, i was born here, inam notnokay take.care dude, mesaage me tomorrow and I probably will be awake fuck that orange boy comolicated eveytbjbg

I am really sorry, I should’ve not post this. It is kinda like I was drunk… I never been drunk, I am almost 40 but a little slow (mentally retarded) so I avoided that stuff.

It was, I am sorry I posted this and maybe other stuff… to everyone. I slept for 3 hours, I should sleep again but I can’t, but I feel normal now.
