The events that have happened here today marks a new era for the internet. Websites that derive their value from user-submitted content are continuing their move towards sealing off that content and information from the world. Their libraries were created by everyone, but will soon be available to only those who pay.

My greatest advice to those concerned: Start archiving. If you come across something you believe is valuable: make a copy.

If you follow a guide on how to install and configure software and you found it helpful: make a copy.

If you come across a video you really enjoy and find yourself coming back to again and again: make a copy.

If it means anything to you: make a copy, or you'll wish you did.

Lol.

Been doing this for years on the PC. πŸ˜€
More difficult on a smartphone.

@HistoPol @n4 I think there are some apps that make it easy to connect to a NAS. I wonder if at home hardware beyond portable devices will make a comeback.

@grumpasaurus

Yes, that seems like a good idea. I've hardly been using online storage anyway.

What we need to do is, however, is to donate to the #WaybackMachine.

Also, I used to have a program to download a complete website.
