I did not consider that. I’ll have to revisit my setup to see what I can do to include vacuum seal as an added step.

As another said M-discs are a great way to move data to a more permanent solution that is only writable. Alternatively making a copy of data you know won’t change very much or at all and have those files copied to a solid state drive. Those will last a lot longer on a shelf than hdd drives with discs that spin. Preferably you’d also want to make sure your cold storage is low humidity and temp controlled. If you can’t control both lean on controlling the temp and keep it regular, mid 50’s °F would probably work.

Back in the day 20+ years ago my family decided to own a business class blade server, not a whole server, just one blade, to back up and store our family videos and photos that had been scanned. Due to the cost of the single blade even second hand my father didn’t have good opsec for backups. Lo and behold a year or so the blade failed and my father and I spent the better part of a week defragging and recovering photos. We lost gigabytes of photos and spent another week+ rescanning what was still scannable. So 20 years down the road I have my own sever in rai 5, a cold storage backup, and a cloud storage backup just in case.

Perfect thank you.

OP, I’ve been trying to fiddle around with doing slots on a scroll saw for something similar to this. Any chance your dad has a pic of the parts taken apart so I can get an idea of how they did it?

Perfect. That’s more than enough to go off of. Thank you.

Can I ask which manuscript this is? I would love to add some of these fish to a world map for my dnd games.

R. Crumb has always been a rabble rouser and a pusher of buttons with his cartoons. Guy is basically a recluse and doesn’t like crowds, but at 82 he is up there I just hope he a few things to say before anything untoward happens.

The photoshop job in this is quite good. I did some pixel peeping (sorry). Unless you are looking for the edit you would not see it.

I don’t want to be “that” guy but the first paragraph says:

“Disney+’s “Bluey,” the Australian licensed animated children’s program, topped all U.S. household TV streamed content with 25 billion minutes viewed across 154 episodes in the first six months of 2025, according to new data from Nielsen.”

Which gives credence to your complaint, but also details specifically that they are talking about viewership via Disney Plus not via the Australian networks viewership.

I became a stay at home dad a few years ago, so while I have given up some work stress, I received a different kind of stress.

Don’t get too excited, this is an extremely rare occurrence for me as it’s only happened once before. But 12 years ago when I worked in a call center doing tech support in the US. It was near constant nightmares about getting calls in the call center, and the beep in the headset. I didn’t get good sleep or enough sleep between shifts. You win some you lose some.
