They key is to diversify. Use different types of storage media, and duplicate your efforts and bury then duplicates somewhere else.

If you can choose only 1 I would choose tape archives. Vacuum seal all your media, whatever they may be. Throw in some of those dehumidifier packets. Moisture will be your biggest enemy.

If possible, also add the means to be able to read your media after a long time. Add a couple of raspberry pi computers, vacuum sealed and dehumidified-by-packets again, and usb readers or HATs for the media you chose (though I doubt you will find a cheap tape drive with USB connection, the only option I found was £9000).

Over the years, as new technology gets developed, in particularly interface connectors that will replace USB, I would add converters if possible or just keep them around. Nothing suspicious about having some USB/sata/sas to <new technology> converter in your house.

Or, you know, you could always go with m-disc. Burners are cheap (40€ to 160€) and discs are cheap (4x 100GB costs 100€). For potentially 140€ you could store 400GB on a solid solution. Would still add a reader and devices as described above.

My parents left me better off than they were

What is this even trying to say?

When we had to team up for lab assignments I was working with a like-minded guy and we did everything Linux when the assignment didn’t specifically specify that we had to use windows. The teacher was constantly updating the wording of his assignments and asked us to put a little bit of windows in there. We were way ahead of the rest of class and had plenty of time left to switch the windows parts in and out like nothing. That was 12 years ago.

If it was possible on Linux we used Linux, if not then we used windows. We used a very pragmatic approach, but favored Linux where possible.

Sono Sion looked promising but couldn’t get enough funding

It’s not that a dumb tv offers better viewing quality, it’s that it needs to start an OS and an interface to navigate, injecting ads and whatnot, while a dumb tv will start in an instant and only outputs what is connected to its physical inputs.

If they threaten server admins with legal action based on the global user count of lemmy rather than their local server user count I’m sure plenty of owners will fold.

If it doesnt show up on page 2 it doesnt exist lol

I think thats more the deep web than the dark web 😄

That’s dutch

Minecraft and the Smurfs

Not sure what you mean. It runs games perfectly and the battery drain is seemingly minimal, not out of the ordinary compared to other games on the device.

PortMaster, program designed to streamline the management of Ports on your handheld Linux devices

Guake, drop down terminal.

Hexchat, irc client

It even works on windows

I wonder if IBM sees any downtick on their redhat sales because of this association.

Let’s not speak of it before it gets swept up

Now download them before they have GOG do age verification. The EU overwhelmingly voted to implement it on platforms that offer content not suitable for children.

Payconiq?

Why? It only verifies age, no? Why would watching adult content with or without age verification be associated with Savile? Are they perhaps checking which content you specifically are consuming? So they have more than your age? Now now, couldn’t have seen that coming.

Those do exactly what they’re supposed to do. They’re even explicitly advertised as providing new revenue streams.
