Interesting replies but I’m just wondering what file format to use.
Don’t we have troubles opening stuff from 4-5 os versions ago?
ascii + markdown for text if you’re from the US
Yeah, but that is because people want to make money and so make their file formats difficult to understand on purpose.
Whatever creatures discover our mystical tablets will hopefully be far smarter than us, or they’ll use the sum of human knowledge to tile their bathrooms.
You want me to store my consciousness in plain text?
base64
I don’t have anything I can’t open and I’ve got stuff from 20+ years ago. I don’t even have to go out of my way to have applications that are compatible with it. If I did run across something I would just build a VM with whatever software I needed to open it. Just have to keep in mind what software you’ll need and back that up as well.
