I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted.
“What’s a few words changed here and there among friends?” - Ruin, probably.
I knew this was going to be top comment.
I am afraid, however, that all I have known - that my story - will be forgotten. I am afraid for the world that is to come. Afraid that Alendi will fail. Afraid of a doom brought by the Deepness.
Can steel really be trusted if it can be rusted?
That’s a Mistborn reference isn’t it? That sentence seems familiar
Metals oxidize. You need a ceramic encased in a carefully constructed glass.
It’s a reference to the Mistborn series of books.

Now that you mention it, are there laser etching, or engraving tools that may be available outside of industrial applications should one want to record their silly thoughts in a more permanent form?
Doubt laser could etch deep enough to survive wear and tear for thousands of years.
I mean, we have thousand years old paper and clay tablets.
I’d be less worried about the depth of the laser than the depth of the corrosion that the metal might face over time.
Glass or ceramic might work better.
laser etched ceramic is just modern clay tablets
Nice reference

Funnily enough, digital signals/data can actually be preserved perfectly and indefinitely because of its property perfect regeneration. Most efficient way to do it is to replicate it before it decays below regeneration. That one star review can outlast any stone tablet if it keeps on being copied.

I thought you would have linked 1683: Digital Data
The last one is actually a real example, right?
It’s a real reference.

“Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery”
