Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

The DA wouldn't care that it was the graves of a bunch of pedo's. The indictment would just read 'Defendant with poor life choices vs. The State.' I'm not going to jail as a martyr for their legacy. Pass.

It’s okay to not want to put yourself directly in the line of fire. Just make sure not to stop others from standing up for us all

And now we see why the world is the way it is.
