    Yeah, but you gotta learn to love the bomb. After they stole my laptop and backup drive (only had 1 backup, silly me), I became disappointed in local storage. When they killed liveleak, I knew the adage ‘the internet remembers’ was hollow and only the short-term memory thrives, if that.

    From what I gather, hoarding music, movies and newer tv shows for preservation is unnecessary, but if you come across an old TV casette recording of a broadcast TV show, digitize it and upload it to Anna’s Archive.

    Good luck honing your hoarding skills. I too prefer local copies. Who wants to sit through buffering?

    Ahhh, now I understand your problem. You’re a datahoarder! Yeah, it kinda sucked to collect media back in the day. In the early 00’s I had a neighbour who collected mp3s - he didn’t care what type of music it was, he just collected 'em. I didn’t understand at the time, but now I see he was a budding archivist.







  • Great article, thanks for sharing!

    I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host’s website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!

    Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.
