Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

a few days ago i saw a post on the reddit datahoarder community asking how to backup keys and other small files for a long time.
it reminded me of a script i made some time ago to save my otp secrets in case of loss of device or a reenactment of the raivo otp incident,
so i decided to make it public on github, hope someone here finds it useful

github.com/Leviticoh/weedcup

the density is not great, about 1kB per A4 page, but it can recover from losing up to half of the printed surface and, if stored properly, paper should last very long
