I didn't miss that point, because they never made that claim. At least in the linked video. If they had, it'd be bullshit.

"This vault contains the 188 reels of hardened archival film which will preserve the 02/02/2020 snapshot of every active public GitHub repository for 1,000 years."
- feoren 3y agoWell that goes against multiple different sources claiming that such long-term digital storage doesn't exist. Plenty of threads on data hoarding talk about the problem of keeping data fresh even a few decades. It's pretty hard to believe any film could last 1000 years, but I'm no expert and I'd love to be wrong on this one. Thanks for the link.
