Hmm... one of the books that was in my library
"Day of deceit : the truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor" i cannot burrow anymore, luckily i did download a PDF of this book some years ago and have it in my harddrive
so this decision to stop burrowing books is already taking place... i'd still recommend archiving shit on your portable solid state drive if you can afford it, nothing's is going to last forever but thank you for the links.
Why did you say solid state drive?
It is well known that hard disk drives last longer and are more reliable long term. The advantage of solid state drives is that they read much faster, and this is why they are so common today, but in terms of data longevity the older technology of hard drives (HDD, with the spinning disk, to be clear) is still better.
In any case you should have 2 copies in two separate disks. And if you want to be even more secure, transfer them to new disks every few years.
Lastly what you can do is put your stuff in an *encrypted archive* and then upload it to a Google or Microsoft cloud. Big tech will take care of your file for you and because of the encryption they won't know what's in there.
