Are they actually heirlooms? If the goal is to keep these safe so generations can continue to not look at them, what's the point? If you haven't looked at something in years, odds are nobody wants to look at them.
- rglullis 5y agoThe actual object is less important than the exercise and the discussion. Substitute "photo albums" for "medical records", "civil certificates", "passwords + 2FA codes for all DeFi wallets" if you want.

The OP is talking about generational foolproof storage for photos which is both totally different and a slightly more convenient version of saddling your heirs with a closet full of photo albums and slide carousels.
