I've got an Archive Team Warrior running on my NAS, with 6 concurrent items. I've got the bandwidth, might as well share it.

After stepping back for a couple of years, my #datahoarding is back with a vengeance and I spent most of last night studying #yt-dlp's man page and updating my configuration 🤓

3-2-1-1-1 Backup Rule (Apocalypse Edition)

3 Backups
2 Different media
1 Offsite backup
1 Backup in an Arctic vault
1 Extra-planetary backup

Because if your data doesn't survive a meteor strike, did you even have a backup strategy?

This re-sync to off-line mirror #2 took days 😆

My digital archive collection is kinda lacking at the moment, but this week I will be collecting more shit. This datahoarding site is an absolute treasure trove.

Does anyone else remember Tux Racer, the old #Linux racing game from way back? Does anyone else also remember tuxracer.fubaby.com, where people would share their courses? Any way to download all the courses again? Sorry, but I want to upload all of them on the Internet Archive. I could only retrieve some of them from the Wayback Machine.

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.

We have just had another Internet casualty. Replacementdocs.com was a website that hosted scans of video game manuals for anyone to download. It was most active in the 2000s. I just checked to see the state of the website after months of broken downloads, and—yep—it's gone forever.

Don't fret, you can find every video game manual that was on the website at the point of closure here: https://archive.org/details/p31-replacementdocs.
