I think if you want 10+ years with high assurance you probably want to burn the data to archival quality BD-R disks (not the dye based ones)

The right spinning platter hard drives might have a decent chance to make it 10 years but there's a lot of possible failure modes and also a decent chance that when you try spinning it back up it gives nothing but read errors.

For cases for "only" 10-30 years I might pick a pelican-like case inside a makeshift wooden coffin-like outer layer. For longer I'd probably use a metal box like an ammo box inside the plastic case and a stone outer layer instead of wood

I looked at the panels and thought to myself "what part of the internet have I found myself in for loss to not be in this list" then froze as if I suddenly felt a hostile presence watching me

The Quiet Revolution: GNU/Linux Crosses 6% Desktop Market Share—And It’s Just the Beginning

I recently wiped my 10yr running windows install that had all manner of shady hacks applied over the years to basically lobotomize it, after a hardware upgrade. As I was wiping I was largely intending to create another "lobotomized" win10 install as the second install on dual boot, but windows on top of everything is known for breaking dual boot. Working around sheer hostility at every level, and for what? Basically just to play pirated games since steam games work on Linux now. I never bothered trying to prop it back up and have been only better off for it

[SOLVED] If I subtract a semitone (100 cents) from 1 Hz, what is its frequency in Hz after that?

Cents are a measure of difference between two frequencies and can't be converted directly to hz on its own.

An initial frequency in hz and an offset in cents can be used to calculate a second frequency in hz, such as in your initial question. Using the formula from wikipedia f1 * 2^(c/1200) = f2, we get 1hz * 2^(-100/1200) = .9439hz. Note that +1200 cents is double (2^1) and -1200 cents is half (2^-1) the original frequency

It's technically slightly visible in air; if actually visible at all in air it means the level of radiation is ludicrously deadly
