Additional to the other commentators: there is still a lot of handmade visual effects (painting/masking on each frame by frame) costs would explode. as far as I remember "the Hobbit" was partially made in 60fps. While I loved it, the make-up crew had suddenly problems to hide all the glue on the dwarfs beards and skin looked suddenly realistic instead of "Hollywood".
Never recording videos... That is outrageous ;)
Interesting train of thought, though. Video is the main data hog on my drives. It's easy to mess up the compression. At the same time is combines audio, image and time in one easy to consume file. Personally, i would miss it.
Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call "satisfaction" https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I'll do next. Thanks again 👍
Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks
So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?
I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time.
I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.
That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something "on the shelf". Thank you for the advice though :)
What happens in that "one episode of the thing"?
