Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

yeah that's why I never get excited about this news. That's awesome they're working on it, but it's in a lab, in a controlled environment, with each one costing more than I make in a year probably.
When I get excited is when they have manufacturing down and they want to start making them en masse. Something like this in a lab? Eh a decade away. They're talking about it at their marking reviews and it's in manufacturing? Now I'm excited
Until it's for sale on Amazon, I don't get excited about any of these breakthroughs. 😂
