PCjr sidecar posted:iirc data center stuff like lto advertises 30 years yeah LTO is basically the successor to DLT, which was well-designed by DEC in the early 1980s for both online and offline long term storage cheaper tape like DC100 and QIC is way worse for reliability, the cassettes have rubber inside that can either melt or become brittle, and the magnetic material can actually flake off old media while in use (a problem with any tape system really) which makes it important to know what you’re doing when faced with data recovery from tape some archivists are working together to create non-contact flux-reading systems for tape like we now have for floppies, so data can be read as non-destructively and with as much “raw” fidelity as possible and then reconstructed later via signal processing

also i'm unsure why everyone is still talking about tape usage in the modern age. it's literally just the latest LTO revision that's what everyone uses and everyone uses a fuckton of it

I’ve heard rumors of tape, hard drives in caddies for robots, backblaze style piles of disk, weird high density optical disks in jukeboxes (iirc this is what fb does for pictures for tertiary backup), qlc flash, etc. tape doesn’t fit my mental model of how they build their data centers but its possible

Mr. Nice! posted:i do this on everything except loving lexis because doing that just brings you right to the exact same point in the case or statute that you were looking at instead of opening up the actual link. you have to right click and click open in a new tab to get it to work right. that’s cos it’s a blank link (an anchor tag) which is being intercepted by javascript. it’s not good practice to do it that way, so eat poo poo lexis

if we made a bluray disc, with the same track and data density as bluray but the size of laserdisc, how much data would it hold

Samuel L. ACKSYN posted:if we made a bluray disc, with the same track and data density as bluray but the size of laserdisc, how much data would it hold heh somebody else had the same thought quote:Seeing as how a Blu-Ray disc has a diameter of 12cm, we can get a surface area of 113.0973 cm ². With the 1.5 cm hole in the middle it makes it roughly 112cm ². Laserdiscs are 20 cm in diameter and have s/a of 314.15 cm ². Laserdiscs are about 2.7x the size of a regular blu-ray, so with a standard blu ray holding about 25GB/Layer, a laserdisc could hold about 67.5GB on a single layer, and a dual layer could give you an even 135 GB.

Presenters Kieran Prendeville and Su Ingle demonstrate how computer programs are save on cassette tape, with a plug for the new BBC Micro. They then transmit a program for the Apple II and ZX81 but the program does not work on the show. The following week Su showed the program running and people wrote in to say that it had worked I also remember a show doing a thing where you got a very simple light sensor schematic to build & plug into your home micro from writing off to the show, and then you stuck it in the corner of your tv screen and they would blink a bit of the screen throughout the show and you would end up with some software downloaded.

Wouldn't they be fine with an airtight network? I'm sure there's been a lot of money sunk into this, so as long as they made sure there's no leaks it's fine.
