Dead Starlink satellites burn up in the atmosphere within a decade... and why are you sending your data unencrypted over the internet?

Ahh yeah, have this archaeology fantasy like my data lives on in space somewhere but yeah forgot about the LEO atmosphere drag bit.
You'd have better luck with a GEO satellite like HughesNet, but I'd be surprised if any of them cache user data in nonvolatile storage.
Yeah I wonder if there will be a service like "send your data into space" which sounds equally stupid (use radio waves) but yeah... just longevity woes (sculpt a rock and burry it).

Some of my code is in the arctic vault though a piece of crap Todo List.
