Like I’d imagine there’s gonna be a lot of rain over time if I want this time capsule to last like idk 10 years? 30 years?

Is there like a box so tough its indestructible?

Can animals dig it up if I bury it?

How deep do it bury it?

Is the earth’s magnetism gonna affect the hard drive? (Or is there a better medium?)

Like I want this to be like very low budget, I don’t have millions to build an actual timecapsule like some organizations have done. Is there some cheap box that’s waterproof to protect a hard drive from damage for like 30 years buried in the ground?

    For a somewhat recent real-world example of hiding things in this kind of situation, maybe look at how ‘paramilitary’ people in Northern Ireland hid things by putting them in walls and then decorating the wall.

    Maybe some “outlet” in your house is actually the connector to the NAS sealed into a void space?
