AlperWorst case of #bitRot that I have seen for a while now on a #DVD. I was cursing the drive while it made funny noises. Truth revealed itself when I decided to wipe the disks.

Stop leaving hard drives in a drawer: Why 'Bit Rot' is destroying your data
christophwarnerThe number one reason AI will slowly turn to bitrot, is because humans who use the internet, will stop using the internet. I'm looking for a specification that I can trust and like with most hardware, it's now getting increasingly difficult even in the open to find specifications. If you do, the question then becomes can you trust it or are other people using the same specification and not some other copy/clone/draft that has been modified in a source forge somewhere... It's a mess and this is only the beginning. Paywall's and walled-gardens are making comebacks and it's almost like we are back in the 90's.
Blake PattersonThe original discs I've tested all run fine so far, but some CD-R burned media I'm trying (on this MODchipped Playstation) are failing or glitching. I wonder if that is just CD-R bit rot?
I probably burned these 15-20 years ago, mostly.
Reddit Tech VN BotKiểm tra bitrot bằng bản sao lưu 1:1 có chắc chắn? Các chương trình có thể phát hiện bitrot bằng cách so sánh 2 bản sao, nhưng cần ít nhất 2 bản để phân biệt. Giải pháp hiệu quả hơn là dùng kiểm tra tổng (checksum). Bạn làm gì để chống mất dữ liệu?

James Endres HowellMy buddy, a dev, complained that code he wrote on a server that is still live no longer works. No staff or funding, so it'll never work again.
A "program," a self-contained selection of source code, is self-contained in only the most artificial, abstract, and banally false sense. Ask any curator of a computer museum. Ask any contemporary librarian. Ask the guy whose thankless job is to deal with Andy Warhol's Amiga artefacts.
The effort required to make something work from ten or twenty years ago may not even have a path to success.
Matt GoddenWoke up my #Mac to find one of my desktop pictures (the active one, they rotate every 5 minutes) had just corrupted itself. No change in its modification date, loading it into image editors - #SketchbookPro shows the black as white. #AffinityPhoto shows the whole image as grey. #Apple #Preview shows the image as attached. Loading it into Mona, my mastodon client, the whole image shows up undamaged (and possibly scaled), so I had to take a screencap to post this.
