What's the best way to store data for offline use? I have a lot of shit that I want to just store, and forget about for 10 years. I don't want to deal with cloud storage.

Carve it into clay and fire it. Should be good to go for 10k+ years.

Follow the 3-2-1 rule.
>3 copies
>2 different mediums
>1 different location
The 3 copies include your computer. Get a decent SSD and either blue-rays or m-discs (keep in mind m-disc 1000 year claim is unproved, and there's some suspicion that new m-discs are just regular blue-rays). Store one of these at your home, one in a different place.

I have a couple of hdd 10 years old and they still work just fine.
The secret is using two of them and checking periodically they both work.
You don't need reliability, you need redundancy.
Without checking whatever tech you are using it's always a risk.

I still have a bunch of CD-R's full of family pictures and videos that I found last year and they all still work. these CD-R's are supposedly "medical grade" but i have no clue what that actually means compared to regular CD-R or CD-RW for the longevity

check out M-Disc
"M-DISC passed the testing standards of both ISO/IEC 10995:2011and ECMA-379 with a projected rated lifespan of several hundred years in archival use. "
