Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Maybe with tab unloading Firefox doesn’t use a ton of resources for a billion tabs. But my 6 core Mac mini chugs with the way I browse the net. A freshly loaded session vs a “well used” one is like 20% CPU and 16+ gigs of ram. Maybe a fully specced out Mac Pro wouldn’t notice but this 8th Gen. i5 cries in pain.
There was a time when my computers would beg me for a mercy kill, but these days, not so much.
