Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Assuming that I understand that I am able to carry this information over, I would just make a text file of library of Babel URLs.
With a single string, you can encode an entire page of data.
On that page of data, you can have strings that encode additional pages of data.
I would have an entire blog of posts to myself to read at every reboot.
Who did I sleep with? How much money did I win? What cool things happened? What things did I try to do?
I would also tell myself when a stunt might kill me, and if I don't update the document to say that I survived, then I would know in the future that that did kill me.
Love the idea so much that I tried it. Turns out a url for a babel page is around 2,000 bytes :-(
For it to work you have to use the bookmarkable function with the default generated bookmark
https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?fxqtvtsugtpifjm,113
This code would be the code or one of the codes that it would definitely generate to create this string of text.
Bookmarks are created afterwards.
If you use the bookmark after the time is reset, the bookmark wouldn't be created yet.
Edit: Example: https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?year2025march2lemmytimetravel
I'm pretty sure "year2025march2lemmytimetravel" doesn't exist as a bookmark 7 days ago.
