Collecting, storing and preserving - Which knowledge is vital? | DW Documentary

[@yonibiko5491]

This is definitely the best documentary I have ever watched in my life. I’m inspired to leave my own record of history that will possibly be significant in a future that I am yet to picture

[@DWDocumentary]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts on the topic.

[@brendafosmire6519]

For me the article seed bank is an example of humanity acting collectively and in a way that benefits all of mankind - a spark of hope

[@pleegjepleegje]

Arctic. Svalbard is a magical archipelago🩵

[@flammerion]

Mind blowing documentary! Thanks for producing it and sharing it at large. I will consider this as my Christmas gift 🤓

[@alejandroestevez92]

What a great documentary! Thanks DW for sharing it 🙏🏻

[@TheStockwell]

0:21 A sourdough librarian? As a breadmaker, I think this guy is a hero. He's the Kubrick of yeast! 🍞

[@sushmitaupadhya5583]

One of the best documentaries I have watched. Such a niche topic but so extensive and well presented ! Love it ! ❤️

[@DWDocumentary]

Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback.

[@goodcommunitylife]

I started digitizing important pictures and photos when I was about 23 or 24 years old and I used to keep them on DVD discs, but I now keep them either in the Google Photos app or the Apple Photos app. Digital archiving and preserving are very important!

Learning about DNA storage really blew me away. What an ingenious way to preserve data as long as possible!

[@ktheodor3968]

Great content! Thank you DW!

[@manoeltsf]

How amazing documentary! Convert data to DNA strain is mind-blowing 😮

[@jonr6680]

Fascinating, thanks.

[@Khyranleander]

The German repository brings up an interesting facet. All things German? Which "Germany" -- it's changed nature & borders several times over known history, potentially will again, & has a related diasporan culture I could see someone wanting to track.

[@Truthseeker371]

War destroys most violently the humanity. These people in the video are still alive, life is more precious than material goods. Memories can be restored, buildings rebuilt or improved even better and with anti-diaaster measures. Human life is not revived once killed by bombing, murder, and the post trauma.

[@R0H00]

Thumbnail should be: Collecting, storing, preserving, decoding and preserving as well as security of preservers. If you do not consider these then it is bound to fail.

[@nicolek4076]

In the sourdough library there is no evidence of isolation between the samples to avoid cross-contamination. May be difficult to establish purity of the bacterial line.

[@tech958]

That’s what I came to say, it looked like they were feeding them in the same room. If they tested them I bet they are all almost identical microbially.

@DWDocumentary Hoppla/oeps/oops😅 Fair enough, I'll try: This Saarlandic word which was used in this video: olek sounds olijk which is a Dutch word without an English equivalent. DE Olek klingt olijk 🙂 NL/BE Olek klinkt olijk 🙂 GB Olek sounds olijk 🙃 Besser/beter/better?

[@FerdinandAugustinus-j6t]

7:44 l thing that this question is wasted, but l wonder what book is that.

[@joaoverissimo1440]

Does the video mention m-disc format?

[@HistoricalMemories-b8k]

Sourdough Preservation (00:03-02:58): Karl de Smedt manages the only sourdough library in the world, preserving 144 unique sourdough cultures. Each culture, created from flour and water, reflects diverse origins and methods, such as Japanese samurai traditions and Italian cow-dung starters. Regular "feeding" is necessary to maintain the cultures, highlighting the fading tradition of sourdough baking in favor of commercial yeast.

[@renegroulx7029]

In a nutshell: Like the Seed Vault but for SourDough. Or : A day in the life of an Archivist.

[@JiZd-xj1ok]

I've actually heard of the vault in Longyearbyen/Svalbard, a youtuber I follow lives there .

[@Truthseeker371]

Seed banks are also needed. Nearly no more original plant seeds. Keep seeds from your crops, please.

[@kk-xj5oz]

That is awesome 🫡

[@FiacreImelda]

Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@renegroulx7029]

Okay but if a SD chip will last 30 years, then wait 25-29 years and then transfer onto a new one?

[@AngelaLopez-j5p]

I was just talking about the House of Bread😅❤

[@RogierYou]

Glass laser disks to store the data.

[@pleegjepleegje]

❤️Belgium

[@SlashHarkenUltra]

Good joke

[@Jill_MA]

COW DUNG!?

[@lusimyer]

IKR!!??? 😮😮😮😮

[@moonsofjasper2548]

Humans have been using cow dung since the beginning of time. It's actually pretty clean!

[@TheStockwell]

It's probably more about the bacteria which triggers fermentation than about how it tastes. I sure as Hell HOPE that's what going on. 😳

[@TheDamnPriest]

hey, i have an HD6670, pretty prehistoric as GPUs go, just send someone to get it.

[@FIa5h]

sour dough library is about as good as NFTs

[@MsBhappy]

False, it's science and cultural heritage

[@mistahtom]

@@MsBhappy OP is right. Sourdough microbes thrive in the regions in which they were developed. If you move the starter to a different location it will pick up the microbes of that region.

[@andikadioey4680]

Internet Archive need to do this save all its collection to DNA, well if this really can survive 100k year, if world apocalypse happen maybe some Alien can read our civilization with this DNA storage 😁😁😁

[@himat850]

Indian🇮🇳 count

[@somerandomfella]

Humanity can definitely get rid of TikTok and forget it asap 🙏

[@streetsarecold]

world-celebrates christmas dw-let's upload a boring video

[@TheStockwell]

Yes, the preservation of human history and culture is a total waste of time - and boring. 🙄

[@lunaxquinn]

I didn't think it was boring, how is ultra-dense DNA based data-storage not cool?

[@rhomboman]

He's been eating too much sourdough
