First time i hear about this project and i love it.

I often talk with a friend who's an historian, and that makes me realize how our relationship with time, as an industry, is extremely short sighted.

The internet archive is an immensely valuable project, as well as all the websites archiving old documentation, etc. But i don't think a lot of people realize the value of things they're destroying everytime they execute a delete statement in a DB or a filesystem.

This Collapse OS ambition to be able to "bootstrap" something useful over any kind of primitive hardware and sustain the passage of time ( or catastrophic event) may have an immense value in the future.

DELETE statement... That's far too obvious. With every UPDATE statement you are forgetting the past, yet it's still the goto DB paradigm! It's okay to constantly lose information apparently...

And it's not like we don't have alternatives. There is Datomic of course, but also juxt/crux and DataHike.
