- Discussion of long-term data preservation: a user wants to archive ~109 TB of “the internet,” including game assets, sprites, artwork, music, and sound effects.  
- Archive.org and archive.today were recommended as existing solutions for web and media preservation; the Internet Archive Backup project (iabak.archiveteam.org) was also cited as a volunteer-driven distributed storage effort.  
- A tongue-in-cheek offer to store data for 50 years at $1/kB (minimum 1 MB) highlighted the cost and incentive problems of personal long-term storage contracts.  
- RAID-7+ (triple-parity and beyond) was raised as a technical approach to high-durability storage; a 2014 blog post detailing parity-based redundancy implementations for btrfs and mdadm was shared as a starting point for kernel-level revival work.  
- Brief side conversation about suspicious 100 % five-star ratings on inexpensive Baofeng dual-band (136–174 MHz / 400–520 MHz) walkie-talkies sold on AliExpress, illustrating concerns about review authenticity on low-cost hardware platforms.
