一、百年节点
一台小型、密封、太阳能驱动的计算机,在风暴、停电和数十年间保存本会的记录。它日夜耗电约 15 瓦,来自一块太阳能板和一块电池。
先说老实话。没有哪件电子部件无人照料就能用一百年。电池约十年损耗,计算机七到十年,太阳能板二十五到三十年。一百年要像让一艘老船继续航行那样达成:靠一份更换日历,由人来执行。记录本身由这里两样能撑过一个世纪的东西承载:M-DISC 光盘(厂商宣称数百年,尚未经时间证明)和以碳墨书写的棉纸(已由数百年的档案证明)。计算机为记录服务;它不是记录本身。
1. 整体,一图看清
2. 能量,算清楚
2a. The currents, and what they ask of the wire
第二块电池(或一块 120 Ah 的)可撑满三天。先测一个月的实际耗电,再决定是否多买。
3. 机箱与遮阴
- 在佛罗里达,热是第一大敌:阳光直射下的密封机箱内部可超过 50 °C。完全遮阴、漆成白色,并让铝板把热量导向箱壁。
- 盐与潮湿是第二大敌。密封圈涂食品级硅脂;两包可再生的硅胶干燥剂;记录湿度,好让失效的密封在造成损害前就显现出来。
- 离地安装,避开洪水所及,接地,并尽可能远离含盐的浪花。
4. 部件
| Part | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Computer | Intel N100 mini-PC (e.g. Radxa X4) or Raspberry Pi 5 8 GB with an M.2 board | 6–9 W at rest, enough to keep mirrors and the log |
| Storage (hot) | 2 × NVMe SSD, ZFS mirror | a disk may die without losing the record |
| Battery | 12 V 100 Ah LiFePO4 with Bluetooth BMS (e.g. Epoch, Redodo) | 3,000–5,000 cycles; safe chemistry |
| Panel | 200 W 12 V rigid monocrystalline (e.g. Renogy, Rich Solar) | about 1.9 × the daily load in an average Jacksonville day |
| Controller | Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 | high efficiency; temperature limits for charging |
| Case | NEMA-4X polycarbonate, ~16 × 14 × 8 in, or Pelican 1510 | sealed against rain, dust and corrosion |
| Radio | Heltec V3 or LilyGO T-Beam, Meshtastic firmware, 915 MHz | text and telemetry when phones and internet are down |
| Sensors | BME280 (inside air) + battery temperature probe | the node reports its own health |
| Protection | fuses, PV breaker, silica gel, silicone grease, cable glands, grounding | safety, and a long dry life |
| Cold archive | M-DISC BD-R (25 GB) × 2 copies + a writer that supports M-DISC | the record, readable without the node |
| Analog archive | 100% cotton paper, carbon or archival pigment ink, Mylar sleeves, oxygen absorbers | the core, readable by eye with no power at all |
5. 记录的三个层级
| Tier | Holds | Carrier | Kept by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | everything, live | the node's mirrored disks; copied to a second machine | the node, checked nightly |
| Cold | full history, logs, media, code (about 25 GB) | two M-DISCs, stored apart | a person: test-read every two years |
| Analog | the core: standing commitments, canons, public keys, the ledger (about 12 pages) | cotton paper, sealed with desiccant | a person: inspected twice a year |
6. 百年日历
什么会损耗,多久更换一次,一百年里换几次。这些是规划数字;节点自己的日志会修正它们。
| Part | Expected life | Replace or check | Times in 100 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silica gel, gasket grease | months | dry the gel and inspect twice a year | 200 checks |
| M-DISC copies | maker claims centuries (unproved) | test-read every 2 years; burn a fresh pair every 10 | 10 new pairs |
| Paper core | centuries if dry and dark | inspect twice a year; reprint any page that changes | as ruled |
| SSDs | 5–10 years | replace one side of the mirror at a time | about 12 |
| Computer | 7–10 years | replace with the then low-power equal | about 10–14 |
| Battery | about 10 years at 80% depth | replace when capacity falls below 70% | about 10 |
| Charge controller | 10–15 years | replace | about 7 |
| Case and glands | 15–25 years in sun-shade | replace | about 5 |
| Panel | 25–30 years | replace | about 4 |
真正的百年部件是守护者。只有当有人执行日历、记下每次更换并训练下一位时,日历才有用。节点应当提醒他们:它知道自己的年岁和每个部件的年岁。
7. 未决问题
- 第一个节点设在哪里:本会家中,还是远处的第二个地点?
- 一开始就按满三天配置(120 Ah 或两块电池),还是先用 100 Ah 再测量?
- 在我们之后,谁来执行百年日历,它写在哪里?
二、守护者的装备
线上每位守护者随身携带的个人装备:一台计算机、一部电台、自带能源和记录,小到装得进一个包,不靠电网、不靠手机网络、也不靠互联网就能工作。与节点出自同一系列部件,好让守护者两者都能修。
1. 装备,一图看清
2. 能量,算清楚
3. 部件
| Part | Example of the class | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Computer | a repairable laptop (e.g. Framework 13) or a Pi 5 handheld ("cyberdeck") | parts can be swapped by hand; runs the same Linux as the node |
| Radio | Meshtastic handheld (e.g. LilyGO T-Echo or T-Deck), 915 MHz | talks with the node and other keepers with no network |
| Power bank | LiFePO4, about 250 Wh, USB-C PD 100 W + 12 V socket | safe chemistry; charges everything |
| Panel | folding 60–100 W with USB-C PD and 12 V outputs | a day's use from an ordinary day's sun |
| Storage | 1–2 TB SSD (the whole corpus) + a microSD copy, both encrypted | two copies on the person, one small enough to hide |
| Paper | the core on cotton paper in a Mylar sleeve; a notebook and pencil | works when everything else does not |
| Bag | water-resistant, with a shielded (Faraday) pouch for the drives | dry, and safe from a surge or a careless scan |
| Tools | small driver set, spare fuses, cables, tape, a multimeter | a keeper mends their own gear |
4. 装备守则
- 一种插头。能用 USB-C 就用 USB-C;不能时用 12 V。
- 身上两份,家中一份。装备从不持有任何东西的唯一副本。
- 可修胜过强大。选择守护者能打开、能修理的部件。
- 离线优先。装备中的每件工具在没有网络时都能工作;网络只是附加。
- 静态加密。丢一个包,丢的是装备,绝不会丢掉记录里的人。
5. 未决问题
- 第一套装备用笔记本电脑还是手持设备?(笔记本:工作更方便。手持:更轻,更接近节点。)
- 要几套装备:每位一家之主一套,还是随着线的增长每位守护者一套?
- 装备规格是否应在适当时候公开,好让其他守护者自己制作?
三、太空种子
本会随每艘飞船、每颗卫星或每处定居点送出的东西:装在罐中的记录,以及一个能在远离太阳处保存它的节点。取自外部读者对“0.5 升档案核心”的草图及其深空笔记,在此分两件绘出。
老实话。这些都还没飞过。M-DISC 和棉纸从未经受数十年的真空、严寒和辐射考验,而放射性同位素电源只有航天机构或获许可的任务才能携带。这些图纸显示的是它的形状,有待一件件证明。
1. 种子罐,剖开
| Tier | In the can | Read with |
|---|---|---|
| Hot | microSD: the whole working record and its software | any computer on board |
| Cold | two M-DISCs: the full history, the Record of Errors, the canon's history | a disc reader, carried or made |
| Analog | cotton paper: the standing commitments, the canon, the public keys | the eye |
2. 深空节点,侧视
| Danger in space | On the ground | In space |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 12 V LiFePO4 + 200 W panel | solar wings near the sun; a radioisotope source far from it, where a mission carries one |
| Heat | shade, a white case, an aluminium plate | radiator panels that shed heat to the cold of space |
| Radiation | none to speak of | shielding (polyethylene, water) and three computers that vote, so one struck by a particle is outvoted |
| Distance | a second machine, minutes away | minutes to hours of light-delay: the node decides for itself and records why |
| Witness | Bitcoin, anchored nightly | a local hash-chain, anchored when Earth can be reached |
3. 未决问题
- 是否现在就做第一颗种子,放在地面上,作为将来上天那颗的练习?
- 棉纸宪章上写什么:只写阶梯,还是连同正典与密钥一并写上?
