I think floppy disks would be a perfectly cromulent way to distribute sudo one-time key lists: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, etcDiscs 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][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 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'm sure that all sounds better in Japanese ...)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.
