@Atemu @beastlykings Every few decades seems optimistic. I have an archive of photos/videos from cameras and phones spanning from early 2000s to mid-2010s. There's not a lot, maybe 6gb; a few thousand files. At some point around the end of that time period, I noticed corruption in some random photos.
Likewise, I have a (3tb) flac archive, which is about 15-20 years old. Nightly 'flac -t' checks are done on 1/60th of the archive, essentially a scrub. Bitrot has struck a dozen times so far.
