  • Iirc theyre these expensive discs that are highly resistant to disc rot (or something along those lines) for at least 1000 years. Kinda gimmicky tbh since it still needs to be stored properly to achieve that claim and suffers from the same problems as any other optical disc (the equipment needed to read and write and still durability)

  • Curious why M-disc specifically? Isn't that storage media kind of expensive for the amount of storage space you get? Plus unless every disc is getting buried in a capsule, you would still have to baby it like any other optical disc even though its more durable.

  • Personally when I was younger, I lost many account credentials and important files when my laptop got stolen at school so an external hard drive is worth it or even a subscription to a cloud based storage provider if you prefer that.

    Edit: personally I'd go with an external drive (40ish usd for a tb)

  • For desktop: Mullvad browser default settings no customization, always on vpn (mullvad), alias emails (Simplelogin is great and somewhat user friendly).

    For Mobile depends on device but lets say not a google pixel but an android: seperate necessary intrusive apps via a work profile using shelter), use pwas as much as possible via a privacy friendly browser (I like mull + ublock extension), an always on vpn (tip: mullvad has the option to block trackers also), again alias emails, disable as much bloatware via adb, and lastly switch to foss alternatives for apps where you can.

    Besides that dont fall into your normal patterns/interests switch it up between each identity. Hope that helps

  • Havent read the article yet but If you have to manually input just stick to 6 or more randomly generated words (different languages if you would like to). A keyboard won't always have options for emojis. Your password manager's autofill/autotype everywhere else and 2fa where you can thats it dont overcomplicate things thats a good way to screw yourself over

  • Yeah you're right I should opt for just getting the "original" footage first. The original plan was to use the hardware upscaler as a means of getting a usuable hdmi signal since the capture cards that I was looking at in my budget only had a singular hdmi input. I'll see what option ebay has. Thank you really appreciate it
