Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

That's assuming the NSA isn't converting snapshots of the entire internet to tape and storing it in underground bunkers
i don't think we could produce enough tape for even a fraction of a snapshot. on top of that, there's too much data to even start sorting through what's worth saving and what's just junk
it makes sense to me that they just store absolutely everything always with the idea that at some point they'll be able to go back and efficiently sort through and decrypt it all
