How do you store seeds for more than a year? (fedinsfw.app)

I've been gardening for several years now and I rediscovered my obcession with chilli peppers this year after discovering the Chinese 5 Colors dual purpose pepper.

Besides these, I have a few jalapeno plants and a non-descript variety I bought at the supermarket, already potted and well developed, as I was not getting any seeds starting. The newcomer must have generated a jealousy crisis because every seed I had commited to the ground decided to pop up.

I want to store seeds for next year but I don't intend to have more than one variety at a time growing, so I need to at least store and keep seeds healthy for two years.

I put them out of the way and then forget all about them, this way they are still around decades later.
