    Github uses black-and-white film. Depends. You can print qr codes or some other crazy encoding scheme.

        You didn’t say you wanted database for warehouse inventory managment. In that case paper only useful for storing append-only logs or taking snapshots.

      You are probably talking about the arctic vault.

      They use film for extreme archival purposes that are not representative of anything normal.

      Qr codes can be great but they obviously need to interact somehow (not directly I hope) with a real database.

        Yes, github arctic code vault. It seems some people just don’t get it.

        Qr codes can be great but they obviously need to interact somehow (not directly I hope) with a real database.

        I mean QR codes as a mean of storing lots of data on paper, in a way that does not require humam or OCR for computer to read. Basically as a joke about paper databases.
