my folks have a vcr/dvd hybrid shit still kicking!

pcm encoder converts information to pcm, in theory u could 'record' backups at 12tb per 120min vhs tape

im tellin you there are hybrid vcrdvds monsters out there. you can rip tapes right off onto a dvd.. l33t pro hx0r

but u have to keep the tapes in a cool dry enviroment for long term storage

yeah thats true

dank basement won't cut it

naaaah it will

65-75f temp range is fine

it could last for decades in normal room temp, in a box. yeah around 65f

air tight safe with silcone gel packs u get from shipped electronics, just reactivate the gel packs by cooking them in oven for about 5-10mins at 300-500f

it will suck the moisture out of the air in the safe for long term storage

about 10-20% of safe volume is enough for gel pack usage

or u could toss data storage in a double-zipped ziplock with the silcone gel packs, then store them in the safe

after u label each ziplock so u can randomly access whatever u have in the safe and not effect the stored data

niiiiiice

whats your approach on hdds and EMF

you build cages?

alluninum hard case

gotcha

kinda like those vhs plastic cases but made of alluninum

i saw something sick that im gonna try out cant recall the name. its a cage basically that blocks EMFs

i used to have a mini case for my debit card when ever i went shopping

a Faraday cage!

very tinhat stuff

my pwr grid here is grounded 6 different ways, 2 of them are visible to inspectors(housing code)

my pc on the other hand is well protected, even incoming pwr from grid is filtered to death

sweet

in-line chokes helps too

i just don't have backup pwr unit here

talking about pwr unit. you seen that flywheel generator bullshit? whats your take on this

got a few weeks?

oh god.. why lol

its supposed to be simple

what would really scare u is i figured out how to weaponize thorem

wait what?

how on earth.. SHOW ME

ok, the common reason why usa never went into thorem research officially, is because they couldn't make weapons from it.

i knew i shoulda went into nuclear electrician field instead of sonar tech as career path in navy, i just didn't like the idea the school for it in the artic wasteland instead of sunny san deigo

i basically designed a theoretical phaser based upon thorem

has applications in non military but shows great promise in military applications

i'd have it built already if my family didn't stop destroying my research lab
