Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime?

And also good to keep in mind is that digital storage is volatile. Yes it’s impractical to have a few terabytes printed out, but if stored properly, it’ll last longer than digital media storage.

Another thing to consider:
If things go full on crazy, like they seem likely to do, being in possession of improper knowledge could be a capital offence when the thought police come knocking.

Ehhh, fuck fascists. They can’t get all of us if a bunch of us do this.

  It’s all hypothetical for now. But with control of the house and senate, there’s not a single thing actually stopping them as long as the rank and file of the GOP stay in line and push everything through. Hopefully there’s enough liberal and further left inclined “Well organised militias” to fight back against anything super fashy…

Good argument for encryption and servers within a privacy respecting country

  Yeah, not sure what the actual options are, but hopefully they get it sorted.

Digital data stored right is extremely non-volatile - but it takes an effort to do so,but the same goes for printing out terabytes.

And digital data can be hidden far easier.

  Depends on what medium it’s on. Some are far better than others, so as a generalisation I said what I said. A majority of folk these days, when they think digital media storage, think solid state. Which is, in fact, not suited for long term storage. A piece of paper stored correctly is going to outlast a usb drive, SD card or SSD.

    That’s what BD M-Disc is for.
