The only thing that stops me is the BPA argument stuff that always goes back and forth. But I do want one...

@shaknais @Infinidoge This Tuesday I actually printed a list of all my music favorites and playlists just to have a paper backup. I do things like this every once in a while, the only issue is I'm using a 1982 sharp CE-125 that prints one line in two or three seconds (thankfully controlled by an arduino). I have also printed 2fa codes and little papers with my email address for when I take photographs at events.

@shaknais @Infinidoge So printing the entire nix store would take absolute ages for me, and the printer really is not silent...

Infinidoge

@tarneo @shaknais Yeah the entire nix store would definitely be something. The receipt printer would definitely make it shockingly quick though, probably up to half an hour if you have a giant Nix store. Aside, it's pretty neat that you print your music out to have a backup, I just backup my Jellyfin and hope all of my data doesn't get destroyed at once lol

@Infinidoge @shaknais I actually do it the other way around too: every last day of the month, I take pictures of my (paper) daily journal to have it backed up too. This way hackers and fire would have to unite if they really wanted me to lose my stuff :-)
I basically trust neither my computers nor my paper

@Infinidoge @shaknais And I still have the project of making a selection of my pictures since I've started taking them (3 years ago) and printing them. In the meantime I have them backed up on cold storage (oh, and tape too actually !)

@tarneo @shaknais My handwriting is abysmal so I never manage to keep a physical journal for long, and even then I can't read it back later lmao

Very neat though! I trust my computers a lot more than the average person it seems. Especially since I got backups. Treat the machine spirits well and they reward you with more computer mana
