@lauren @cstross facebook cold storage keeps the full resolution images on powered off HDDs -special unix filesystem to support power off without unmounting, hardware protection on #of disks which can be powered up and more. Low power/water picture stores are a solved problem

@cstross Of course, the very act of millions of people suddenly digging around in old emails and photos to figure out what to delete would USE MORE ENERGY! All that stuff just sitting there on disks or SSDs is negligible in terms of power usage in this context.

The second part of the backup series is getting really long and comprehensive. I'm wondering if it makes sense to break it into more parts, but my concern is that it might then lose focus. It's probably better to just have one long second part, broken down into sections.

I would not break up an explanation into smaller sections, just to have it easily digestible. Focus & concentration is needed; sometimes we have to read whole books in one hit to understand a subject thoroughly

I've done that before and I'm doing a time and time again

The modern web is built to overwhelm with ragebait, clickbait, and chaos. So we made something soothing.

It’s called OnlyFjords. And yes, it’s only fjords.

Forest walk transitions to scenes of digital overwhelm - buzzing phones, cluttered screens. Then: peaceful Norwegian fjords with still water. Person floats calmly as OnlyFjords.com appears on screen.
