@polpo Same, but I guess you'd not have started the #PicoGUS project (nor would've @rasteri done the #Wee86 & #WeeCee) if that was always the option.

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

DNA 기반 저장 기술이 클라우드 스토리지와 HDD를 대체할 수 있는 장기 보관 대안으로 주목받고 있다는 내용입니다. 다만 실용적 장치와 시스템은 기술·비용·속도 문제로 인해 아직 수년이 걸릴 것으로 평가되어, 상용화 시점은 당장 가시적이지 않다는 분석입니다.
