I think floppy disks would be a perfectly cromulent way to distribute sudo one-time key lists:<p>if you don't know how to read the disk, you aren't worthy to be root.
> There are about 1900 government procedures that requires business community to use discs, i. e. floppy disc, CD, MD, etc<p>Discs in general makes more sense - I think I last used a floppy disc in 2003, though I've used CDs and DVDs for things more recently.
That reminds me of Polish Social Insurance Institution (Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych) which in 2008 announced a tender for the supply of 130k standard 3.5-inch floppies for about 120k PLN (back then) [1]<p>[1] - <a href="https://pastebin.com/raw/fnQAgViu" rel="nofollow">https://pastebin.com/raw/fnQAgViu</a> (translated from original at <a href="https://www.pcworld.pl/news/ZUS-oglasza-przetarg-na-130-tysiecy-dyskietek-3-5-1-44-MB,174141.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcworld.pl/news/ZUS-oglasza-przetarg-na-130-tysi...</a>)
I (jokingly) wonder if this is someone's idea of perfect security, with them thinking <i>Who's going to be able to read what's on these floppies? No one has an FDD anymore, do they? And who remembers what a floppy disk is, anyway?</i> (I'm sure that all sounds better in Japanese ...)<p>That said, it's more than likely institutional inertia is behind the clinging to old tech.
Is Japan still the stand-out land of the facsimile or has that ended now? I think I also saw it in use, in a Greek travel agent in the mid-2000s but that aside, She dead.
