It’s getting harder and harder for me to find good resources online. blogs get taken down and i have a hunch that in the next few years a lot of sites i frequent for research will be blocked “for my safety.” i have a large system of bookmarks for sites that i can only find via the bookmark now.

i’m thinking about downloading a collection of potentially-banned sites and then indexing them on a local private network of some kind.

i’m aware that this is probably going to cost me $1/2k to get something with enough storage.

1) has anyone done this?

2) any advice on where to start? as in, hardware to get, best way to download an entire site, software to index/search what i download, etc.

3) do you have any sites that are your go to’s for research that you don’t mind sharing with me? health topics, freedom topics, education topics, etc.

thanks!

whenever i have something i want to save i make sure i save it as a pdf. not really the best way but if you spend time to really organize it you can save quite a bit of information.
