    Take it further. Convert all of your data into forward or simple formats. Don’t encode your images as gif, keep them raw. Store word docs as markdown. Don’t use proprietary formats (duh).

    Linux will be around for a long time, which is convenient. Everything is a file, that counts, right?

    Also be thankful for VMs and the push towards distroless containers.

      This is fucking insane. There are plenty of open standards for image files.

        It was an example. Lossless formats exist.
