Like I’d imagine there’s gonna be a lot of rain over time if I want this time capsule to last like idk 10 years? 30 years?

Is there like a box so tough its indestructible?

Can animals dig it up if I bury it?

How deep do it bury it?

Is the earth’s magnetism gonna affect the hard drive? (Or is there a better medium?)

Like I want this to be like very low budget, I don’t have millions to build an actual timecapsule like some organizations have done. Is there some cheap box that’s waterproof to protect a hard drive from damage for like 30 years buried in the ground?

    I’m sorry, did I not provide a workable solution using magnetic media and periodic writes of new data? There’s nothing paranoid about that. It’s smart archiving.

    You can spiral off into portraying my common-sense solution as hyperbolic bullshit, but that’s just going to lead me to the conclusion that you didn’t read or comprehend my recommendation. I provided an actual solution and what you said isn’t helpful.
