    One other possibility that just occurred to me is to encode it into living DNA along with better error correction mechanisms so it doesn’t mutate. Like thinking from a “leave data for future civilizations to find” perspective, though it could also be a decent long term passive(ish) archival. Maybe completely passive if a self-sustaining but isolated environment could be created for it.

    Not great for data you want to keep but also actively use, though. Or data you want to be able to modify.

      Isn’t DNA, like, famous for its mutations?
