Is anyone interested in amateur digital archiving just destined to losing it all in the long run? You'd think there'd be a market for long life HDDs. Edit: Yes, you could just replace old hardware with new hardware, but it creates so much waste...

That's where hopefully Microsoft project silica will make it permanent for all practical purposes digital data storage available. It apparently uses a similar basic process as those mall kiosks that take a volumetric picture of your face and then etch it into a cube of glass? But in this case, they just write the data to the side of a small piece of glass over the course of days and it's basically permanent for all eternity unless something breaks it.
