@Root They use Piqlfilm reels for archive, which hold about ~120GB per reel.
It's just ~13 thousand "analog" film frames per reel, each with an 8.4MB QR code with pixels so dense it almost looks like a grey blur to the eye.
The film is a thick, non-degradable polymer so it's obviously not affected by EMPs, it's stored in very sturdy casette boxes, and it has a melting point above 200c (I tried a pressure cooker and a laboratory drying oven), so I suspect some kind of proprietary polyamide.
They used Piql film reels at ESA when I worked there for a subcontractor, all of their most important data is archived that way.
The only required tech/knowledge a 1000-year-in-the-future civilization needs:
1. Have a magnifying glass
2. Understand UTF-8 encoding
3. The patience to read through a million shitty coffeescript SVG animation libraries -
raulqf3004yIt's a waste of time. Most of these 21TB are puplicates node modules not excluded from gitignore...
Next Gen wouldn’t know where they gotta pull the code from 🙈
