I have been reviewing some threads on 4chan and reddit on data hoarding and I think I am on my way to being one. I am not interesting is hoarding every single version of Linux but more useful stuff like older software, movies, music, etc. Anyone else doing this?

I don't trust the cloud. I don't trust on-line storage. I don't trust Bill Gates or any of the other billionaires who want to control my life. I trust myself and my backups.

I store movies and music for my own enjoyment, I watch and listen to them, but I don´t see the point of storing older software.

And the movies I store, they are now obsolete, none of them is 4K, in a few years time we may have 8k, it is probably a waste of time and money but I already have it so I will keep them.

Yeah I am. Save as much as you can relating to technology innovation. Food production. Simple chemistry. Medicine.

We are complacent with the power of the internet. We subconsciously assume it's a part of reality and will always be there. We can't assume that it will.

Without it we will be retarded. We've destroyed many of our previous institutions that created and stored collective knowledge. We will be without sacred generational knowledge when the internet goes down completely, or the slow creep of control and censorship continues to dim the available information.

I think the powers that aught not be have done it before, destroyed our knowledge stores. Library of Alexandra? This time I think it will even easier, everything is stored on a generally centralized system. A system of incredible abstraction and complexity. Stacked cards on cards starting in the 40s or earlier. Nobody knows how it all works. We will have no hope to rebuild it when it's shut down, it's entire existence is bootstrapped on systems recursively, from ones and zeros to the soft keyboard I type this with. So many complex layers make this possible.

To summarize, do it. Save things. Have a system that protects the storage media and device to read it. Faraday bags cover a lot of bases.

Print the important things. The things we'll need to know to have the best chance of restarting. Maybe the most importanly some materials on the Jews and their traits of subversion so we don't fall for the same pitfalls we seem to keep forgetting about.
