  We’ve moved past mere tolerance. Lactose inclusion. Lactose celebration.

  We often used to get video games for Christmas, but wouldn’t be allowed to play them straight away because we were spending quality time with family etc. Then we’d get up early on the 26th and pack the car to go on a 2 week camping trip, still not having played out precious new game.

  We would take the instruction manual with us on the trip and spend those 2 weeks intensely studying the controls, the lore, everything. By the time we returned home we were fucking ready.

  Yes that’s true. There may also be issues just with getting money out of the country to make the required payments to the storage providers. Either due to local restrictions or international sanctions.

  If this is a real problem you have, and not just a thought experiment, I think rather than burying the data on some unreliable medium, your best bet is to just pay someone to store it for you offshore, away from the dictatorship you mentioned.

  There are plenty of consumer-grade cloud storage services. I’m sure there are more niche ones specifically for long-term archival as well, which would usually be cheaper per bit, per-year, if you don’t need to access the data regularly.

  It’s great! You’re also supporting the local scene which is massively important.

  Gigs. Either just buying tickets to random local venues. Our go see your favourite artists live, but make sure you get there early enough to see the openers.

  I’ve discovered so many amazing bands because they opened for bands I already knew I liked.

  If you can’t physically get to gigs then you can even just look up who your favourite artists are touring with, that will give you a pretty good sense of them being similar.
