Like I’d imagine there’s gonna be a lot of rain over time if I want this time capsule to last like idk 10 years? 30 years?
Is there like a box so tough its indestructible?
Can animals dig it up if I bury it?
How deep do it bury it?
Is the earth’s magnetism gonna affect the hard drive? (Or is there a better medium?)
Like I want this to be like very low budget, I don’t have millions to build an actual timecapsule like some organizations have done. Is there some cheap box that’s waterproof to protect a hard drive from damage for like 30 years buried in the ground?
flash storage does degrade though, sure it’s presumably slowed down by a stable environment without oxygen, but i can’t imagine it lasting more than 50 years
I find it more reliable as it has less mechanical parts, but I am curious if someone did a scientifical aproximation of how long it would last.
