Some guys I know propose a storage on 35mm-film solution that looks pretty foolproof for a couple of centuries at least. https://digifilm-corp.com/preserve-you

To read back the data, you need something to digitize the film (a flatbed scanner would work, I've tried, or probably even a smartphone with a a DIY magnifier), then something to decode the data (the necessary source code is provided in clear on the first images of each roll).
- nomel 5y agoI'm having trouble finding the data density. How many lbs of film/GB?
- wazoox 5y agoIt's not very dense at the moment, around 600KB per frame IIRC, with lots of redundancy and while staying really easy to read even with DIY hardware. They think they should be able to cram about 2MB per frame without compromising durability and without any compression (but lots of in-picture redundancy). That should give about 200 GB per roll of film (the large ones).
