Comment on Which guides to trust for novice / normie getting started?
philpo@feddit.org 4 days agoJust another thing: Get proper,WORM(write once read many) backups. Get a M-Disc capable blueray burner (around 100 bucks) and burn the real important stuff in Archive capable Bluerays (normal ones degrade within years,these don’t). You don’t want to find out your datasets suffered from bit rot(yes,that is a thing) 5 years later and have no option to restore because you fucked up backups 2 years ago. For the real important data(everything that can’t be redownloaded aka the personal stuff) it’s worth it.
Ideally do put some of those discs somewhere else,away from your house.

That would never have been something that I’d thought of by myself. Very grateful!, than you.
