Feature Request: Implement Replication to Secondary Node Hosted Inside Sagittarius A*

[sdolgin]

While WOFS2's write-only functionality offers unparalleled security, I've become increasingly concerned about potential data loss due to unforeseen cosmic events... say, a rogue asteroid collision or an interdimensional wormhole mishap. To safeguard my invaluable collection of UFO parking tickets and Bigfoot's vacation photos, I propose implementing a replication feature to a secondary node hosted within Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce a replication mechanism that duplicates all data written to WOFS2 onto a secondary node located within the event horizon of Sagittarius A*. This would involve:

1. Intergalactic Data Transmission: Develop a method to transmit data across approximately 26,000 light-years to reach Sagittarius A*, ensuring minimal latency and packet loss.​

2. Event Horizon Data Storage: Design a storage system capable of withstanding the extreme gravitational forces and spaghettification effects within the black hole's event horizon.​

3. Time Dilation Backup Strategy: Leverage the intense time dilation near the singularity to create backups that, from our perspective, last for eternity.

Benefits:

• Ultimate Data Security: Storing data within a black hole ensures that no unauthorized entity can access or retrieve it—unless they possess a theoretical physics degree and a death wish.​

• Infinite Compression: The immense gravitational forces will compress data to an infinitely small point, optimizing storage efficiency beyond current technological capabilities.​

• Time-Travel Retrieval Potential: Future advancements in physics might allow data retrieval, effectively enabling us to send messages to future civilizations or advanced alien species.

Considerations:

While the concept of black hole data storage is groundbreaking, practical challenges include:​

• Transmission Delays: At 26,000 light-years away, even data traveling at the speed of light would take millennia to arrive. Implementing quantum entanglement communication might mitigate this, pending invention.​

• Retrieval Feasibility: Current understanding of physics suggests that retrieving data from within a black hole is impossible. However, this could be marketed as a feature, ensuring data privacy.​

• Regulatory Compliance: It's unclear whether GDPR or other data protection regulations have jurisdiction over singularities. Legal consultation is advised.
