My 2 cents to some of the really good comments already mentioned.
1kg is 2 US lbs +10%.
Learn what 10cm is, use that as base for small stuff
Learn a stride that's 1m.
1m is approx 3ft
Get a good scale in grams
Celcius is linear, Fahrenheit is not. Hence 0 freezing, 100 boiling, 50 is exactly half that amount of energy.
Now if you're into engineering I'd recommend you grab yourself a caliper and measure some of the common products you can buy. You'll notice that anything in 16th, 32th or even 64th is a most likely an approximation to a perfect size in mm.
It's important to realize that the US is the only real producing country in the world using US customary. Relatively speaking there's very little actual manufacturing being done in true US customary.
As far as the food implications, see other posts. Now when it comes to lids it's important to know that most pot lids are of a set diameter. So measure your pot and hit up your local thrift store for a couple of replacements. As long as your pot doesn't have an oval shape you could get lucky fairly fast.
It really depends how you define reliability. SD cards are physically nigh indestructible, but can show failure when overwritten often. Hence for one off backups it's actually a good alternative. It will start showing problems when used as a medium that often writes and overwrites the same data often.
I would recommend backups on SD cards in an A/B fashion when you want to give a backup to someone else to store safely.
Back in the day I bought a fridge freezer combo, second hand, no handles. Used to be a built in model. As handles I used two magnets from full height drives, they were ludicrously strong and shaped like a little bit like a handle.
Full height drives were 3.25" high for those who are wondering.
Keep in mind that traffic in the US is simply more dangerous then in Europe. Traffic in the US consist of a large number of pick up trucks which are heavy and not designed to be friendly to other traffic in an accident. There are more factors, but my key takeaway is accidents versus deadly accidents.
Curious, you might want to look into what is generating your data then first. It's very easy to generate data, it's a lot harder to only generate and keep useful data.
Consider running HA in a light weight systemd-nspawn container with minimal debian. No docker, only install the repositories you need. HACS if needed. Run your own database on the side somewhere and let HA use it.
I'm glad I can laugh about it now. The one thing this did do was educate a lot of people about the importance on off-site backups and off-site fail overs.
The humor is in the amount of hoops to jump through to get some basic info out using Powershell. Under Linux one would use a single command or just check what the system exposes in the form of a file.
I have no idea how to do forensics under Windows to be honest. You'd probably have to write something to get to the block layer so it can be dumped and analyzed. Perhaps OP can amuse us how he went about it.
