Next Gen wouldn’t know where they gotta pull the code from 🙈

I was able to get some of my garbage code buried in there!

@Ranchu same, contributions to other repos

Yeah. Because Webpack 4 is going to matter in 1000 years.

@kescherRant yehehe

Half the terabytes are node_modules 😒

@GiddyNaya nah we put gitignores there

@Ranchu though they are open source and are on github.

@Ranchu same, i have contributed 60 lines of scala code to the vault

Why? Even permafrost doesn’t prevent code rot.

@Root They use Piqlfilm reels for archive, which hold about ~120GB per reel.

It's just ~13 thousand "analog" film frames per reel, each with an 8.4MB QR code with pixels so dense it almost looks like a grey blur to the eye.

The film is a thick, non-degradable polymer so it's obviously not affected by EMPs, it's stored in very sturdy casette boxes, and it has a melting point above 200c (I tried a pressure cooker and a laboratory drying oven), so I suspect some kind of proprietary polyamide.

They used Piql film reels at ESA when I worked there for a subcontractor, all of their most important data is archived that way.

The only required tech/knowledge a 1000-year-in-the-future civilization needs:

1. Have a magnifying glass

2. Understand UTF-8 encoding

3. The patience to read through a million shitty coffeescript SVG animation libraries

It's a waste of time. Most of these 21TB are puplicates node modules not excluded from gitignore...

@raulqf I am pretty confident they are clever enough to exclude duplicates somehow..

@Kyu96 yes, I was just kidding :)

Wrote few articles for free code camp and that's what i got burried there.

Isn't there like a Hentai Decensoring repo somewhere in there?!

@JFK422 Yes there is
