Data hoarders of Reddit, what do you hoard?
(alien.top)
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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
A variety of things: Books, movies, music, scientific journal publications, Slackware's "current" branch with all past packages since 2009 (only half a TB though), All Slackbuild sources, an almost-complete crawl of CentOS 6 packages, large language models and datasets (almost 8TB now), an old TankNet archive, a few wikipedia dumps about two years apart, chat logs, archived email, a lot of smaller archives of niche interests .. it's something of a mess.
