Today my GF and I went to Harajuku for Tokyo Rainbow Pride! We got a really nice spot this time! Got to high five a lot of cool people. The turnout was really nice, and it managed to beat the rain too! These pictures are from the Tokyo Trans March section. It was really heartwarming to see... Sadie even teared up a little! It's just such a nice feeling knowing that there's so many others like us out there, and that we're not alone! 🏳️‍⚧️

Gonna upload some more pictures from it soon!

Some more pictures from the parade! I really can't overstate how happy I felt seeing everyone here. It's just so wonderful to see all these people like me out and proud, not having to hide away! Nothing will stop us from living as ourselves! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I have some discs a family member burnt in 2010. One contained our pirated Wii games, our Wii NAND backups, his Firefox bookmarks, music, and even my old Super Mario Bros. X levels. I've backed these up with ddrescue, and compressed them with gzip.

Now, I love keeping a record of my memories (in the form of photos, videos, screenshots, or gameplay recordings) to revisit them. But guess where these records lasted the longest? The discs, my physical notebooks, old emails (where I often overshared), and my cloud storage. (Relating to physical notebooks, you should read this blog post.)

On the contrary, my internal and external hard drives, USB flash storage, and SD cards are where my data goes to die. My data has a very short lifespan because:

  • I lose some things while moving from place-to-place
  • I forget to backup everything because it's so confusingly organized
  • in the case of hard drives, it catastrophically fails

So here's my idea.

I counted 52 blank DVDs (maybe 54, but they're a different brand...), but there might be more than that. I'm thinking of the idea of making several "themed backups" which include different things on them, like my Minecraft worlds, recordings during a certain year, music or ROMs, etc, heavily compressed (whether it be losslessly or not) to make as much fit as possible. This might not be limited to my discs either; it's just a fun way to organize things.

EDIT (2023-09-05): Reworked the post.
