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.

You don't understand, I might need that hilarious Cracked listicle from fifteen years ago!

I have about 15 bookmarks. Things I want to buy, mail services, discord, YouTube, Amazon (well, all those things that have apps but I don’t want to use apps), purchased stuff like BetterDisplay I might need to re-download, game stores like nitnendo, PS and GOG, the free game on epic games store, and some piracy and emulation threads.
