Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, I’m gonna gift that man a really strong magnet
ProgrammingSocks, Too late. It’s all SSDs already. They’re more robust long term.
vsh, Blud made RAID ∞ out of SSDs
deur, What the fuck even is this comment.
morrowind, I hope he has indexed everything he saved and can search it efficiently
Bonsoir, It says he’s a saver, not a retriever!
Viking_Hippie, Hell, he’s not even golden!
Honytawk, Those things are lost in the great mines of Morediskspaceia
ichmagrum, German Better hope none of it is encrypted, he’s definitely going to forget that password.
ZILtoid1991, Where's the large towers of 3 layer M-Disk Blu-rays?
ichmagrum, German In the room with all the old PCs they ever owned.
guitarsarereal, Well, you see, nobody else is saving anymore, so we have to save for the rest of you obsessively saves page
don, It’s the meticulous savers you should worry about. The savers smart enough to automate what they save, and fastidious enough to know every sector of what they’ve saved. Those savers may/may not save the whole galaxy.
Honytawk, Save the cheerleader, save the world.

TacoNissan, I save lots of 2000s kid’s shows, for when my future kids grow up. No telling when they’ll become lost media. I use filebot to automatically rename the files to TVDB standards, and so far I’ve collected 8tb. Do I have a problem?
don, Do I have a problem?
As long as you can afford to maintain your repository, no.
atocci, The Archivist
Ultragramps, The only one who has the lost episodes of You Can’t Do That On Television.
mindbleach, And Adventures In Wonderland, somehow.
yessikg, It’s me, but I don’t have a beard
Microplasticbrain, Im in this picture and I dont like it. Saved for later.
Rekonok, Same
I saved your comment too
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i have a deleted webpage in ecosia app
vsh, r/datahoarder folks can relate
LoamImprovement, Hold up, does someone know how to save an entire site? I would really like to get the 5e wikidot archived in case Hasbro or whoever wants to shut it down for good.
zzz, Link? And where can I upload a PDF* of the site to share with you? tmpfiles.org’s short duration probably won’t cut it…
*Although I’m certain The Saver™️ would only do full webarchive zips, for us casuals, the PDF export shall do (and be easier in day to day use)
LoamImprovement, Honestly it’s not the information so much as the way it’s organized that I’d like to save. It is the best resource for putting together characters, currently.
anton, It won’t save everything, but if a script follows every link recursively, most content should be reached that way. That’s kind of what Google does but for one site instead of the internet.
If there is a search function try very simple queries.
The alternative of brute forcing links would be unfeasible, even if you are not rate limited by the site, due to the exponential complexity.
If you want to do something please look into api/scraping etikette like exponential back off.
Kolanaki, Probably a browser extension these days. I had one back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s that would simply download the page you were on, as well as every page, image, audio file, etc. on every recursive link on that page.
This was back when most websites had a table of contents link somewhere, though. There are plenty of sites now that don’t link to every page contained on the domain and are only accessible if you manually enter the URL or use dynamically created pages that only exist upon request.
jherazob, There’s software that browses to the homepage of a site and starts traversing it all, saving it all in the process
jsh, The data hoooorder
mindbleach, The internet is forever, whether it wants to be or not.
ichmagrum, German It’s actually pretty selective. Recently tried reading an old webcomic, lots of dead links and the various web archive pages were very incomplete. I’m sure SOMEONE has it saved somewhere, but it doesn’t look like they made it easily available to the general public.
averyminya, Somebody saaaaaave meeee
bumblebeebeard, hello yes, I’ve archived this.
