Good luck finding a reading device for it in 100y, let alone 14 billion years. I doubt there will be a human civilization a few thousand years from now. :) It’s OK to make fun of non-existing/ not yet market ready devices, no?

Images would likely be the easiest possible thing to translate compared to more arbitrary codes since in that situation the output should be more easily decodable? Also, there’s plenty of easy solutions to that.

I thought it would be hard to reverse engineer the compression algorithms used in JPEG images. I agree. If easy accessibility for future archeologists was the goal one could maybe use 1 or more monochromatic 2D matrices of scalar values to represent an image. Or just to etch the pixels of image itself in the medium - like in microfiche.
