Like I’d imagine there’s gonna be a lot of rain over time if I want this time capsule to last like idk 10 years? 30 years?

Is there like a box so tough its indestructible?

Can animals dig it up if I bury it?

How deep do it bury it?

Is the earth’s magnetism gonna affect the hard drive? (Or is there a better medium?)

Like I want this to be like very low budget, I don’t have millions to build an actual timecapsule like some organizations have done. Is there some cheap box that’s waterproof to protect a hard drive from damage for like 30 years buried in the ground?

      A so-called M-disk is rated for 1000 years. Artificial lab tests could at least ‘confirm’ a few hundred years. Amazing shit.

      Add encryption to it, keep the keys safe (perhaps on another M-disk) and you’re set!
