Comment on Microsoft develops ultra durable glass plates that can store several TBs of data for 10000 years

What kind of files would you use so it could be read in 10 000 years?

XML/HTML
and for your next question: Wikipedia.

Wouldn’t that be funny to be tasked with getting the data off a 10 000 year old piece of glass only for it to be dragon/car vore?

My media collection. I really only need like 50 years tops. At which point I’ll be dead or to senile to enjoy it. Unless I can back up my own consciousness onto it. Then… That.

Interesting replies but I’m just wondering what file format to use.
Don’t we have troubles opening stuff from 4-5 os versions ago?

I don’t have anything I can’t open and I’ve got stuff from 20+ years ago. I don’t even have to go out of my way to have applications that are compatible with it. If I did run across something I would just build a VM with whatever software I needed to open it. Just have to keep in mind what software you’ll need and back that up as well.

ascii + markdown for text if you’re from the US
Yeah, but that is because people want to make money and so make their file formats difficult to understand on purpose.
Whatever creatures discover our mystical tablets will hopefully be far smarter than us, or they’ll use the sum of human knowledge to tile their bathrooms.
