Normal people are the Roman Empire coming to mindlessly burn our imageboard repository of sacred knowledge to the ground because they can. They can't help it they are a cancer of the universe where everything must be shit. Just look what happened to 2+2=crap chan. Normal.

imageboards are ephemeral, the memories of our glorious shitposting shall fade away very soon

This is why backing up everything is so important.
I fear the day 7chan is gone for good.

Screencappng. Learned this way too late. I thought this is just something that always existed and lasts forever.

Last night spent like 12 hours cleaning 2 out of the 3 PCs completely and wiping windows, reinstalling Linux, Microsoft had way too much time to not be shitty, yet they still chose to stay shitty. Then exported all tabs from all devices and all browsers so I could organize that, got some 1000 mostly music.
Then I tried to setup nextcloud real time syncing, but the android doesn't wanna connect to my server that I dedicated one laptop to. Step by step. Went to sleep at 9AM. Today I changed a wheel bearing and a few other minor fixes on the car. God I'm a retard, but it feels good especially when slowly but you manage to get something to work. I'm insanely retarded.

Yes but did you go full retard

>>840704
If you mean arch, no I did not go full retard. But also I finally managed to get it to work with Android. Uploading all root folders, 250 GB to my external SSD now. God I should have done this years ago. But at least now my phone is fully backed up in real time Jesus fucking Christ.

I guess I'm slowly moving towards being less of a complete retard. I mean I don't know how you guys use your phones, but that shit needs to be backed up. What if a nigger comes up and points a gun to your face, are you going to fight him to death right then and there, because you have 10,000 hours worth of browsing and scrolling on your phone?

Whatever files you have, they need to be in at least two locations, and at least for me personally, I don't really trust the cloud stuff, not just because of privacy, but every platform and service I have ever been on has in one way or another fucked with my data.

I'm probably hackable af at this point, I'm not even using HTTPS, but hey, first baby steps

Also I'm a nobody, so I feel safe in that regard. And until I become somebody, I will continue feeling pretty safe. Especially if I don't use any Apple stuff, desktop or mobile, and if I don't use Windows. No clients side scanning, means you only have to be aware of your network habits. Anyway, the world is fucked, but the important point I really want to make is that if you're anything like me, you should make sure that your data is backed up somewhere, at least twice redundant and at least in two separate locations. Jesus fucking Lord Christ God.

I don't know if you guys think a lot about AI, but this shit is going to be absolutely bonkers in less than 10 years. Fucking strap and lads.

>This is why backing up everything is so important
True, 99% of whatever was posted on the old toenail clippings during the glory days is gone forever. A text-only backup would have been trivial and only taken up maybe like 1GB of space.

I get a strange feeling when I think that humanity might still be around 1,000 years in the future, and they will be poring over all of our shitposts and random comments on Youtube to build a better picture of what the world was really like in 2025.

If AI continues to develop, I can see there being a kind of "time travel" feature where it can build a world designed to look like a particular year, for example let's say 1995. The more data from that year it can find, the more accurate the simulation will be. The only problem is that almost all of the data from 1995 is gone forever, so such a simulation will always be imperfect. I think the furthest back we can travel and have things look reasonably accurate would be around 2007, when Google started doing their first streetview photography.

But my point is that if we built an AI to research the past in such depth, every small thing would be useful. Random photos would be absorbed by the AI and correlated with every other photo ever taken to build the most accurate picture of the past that is possible. Even random receipts would be valuable for figuring out how much certain items cost. So in that context I am a little bit obsessed with preserving seemingly minor details from the past before they are lost forever.

After some 20 hours of mostly just spinning wheels, I managed to set up NextCloud, which sucked, so I instead setup resilio and it is absolutely awesome. Now I have two Linux laptops one of them server, one windows laptop and one Android and I can access all from all and the Android gets backed up the moment anything changes, the entire /0 directory, just one click and I am backing it all up. Nothing crashes everything works, it's an amazing software. Cannot recommend enough. It was hard to set up for someone not tech savvy like me, mostly because for the longest time I was using these free bots and they were horrible, but then I bought opening a plus or whatever it's called and then solved it in like 3 hours pretty much from scratch. Well admittedly a lot of that time I spent reinstalling OS and organizing and cleaning out files. But damn dude I wanted to do this for some 2 years now and finally I did it. What a nice feeling. It's nice to work with software. With the hardware, when you break something, it costs you hundreds or thousands of money on top of all the wasted time. Here you just start again and again and again and just spin your wheels for hours. Programmers really have it easy. Fucking obsolete niggers. 90% of the lowest skilled ones will be completely useless in a few years. In a few years what I spent 20 hours doing I will do in 2.

Tldr resilio is AMAZING for backups and home server w/o server, you can also use remote server with encryption just fucking great app and the most important features are free. Very good for retards like me who would die trying to set up an actual server.

I bought openAI Plus*
I also needed an external SSD, 2TB in my case, but You may not want it to be in exfat like I have, because that caused a lot of trouble, but ultimately I managed.

Guys, I'm just happy. I've spent a lot of time on the internet and almost everything that I liked I saved, you can imagine how much stuff I have. Except from imageboards, because again I'm a retard. What a loss. But it's still lives on in my heart.

have you tried the way back machine on

everything is archived from the glory days of the early 2000's

even niggertitts has the classics archived from before they became a glownigger op

No it not

This is why internet archival is important, although some people hate it for various reasons I think it still has its importance, Archiving imageboards espesially in the sense that it's hard to trace something back to you if everyone is anonymous posting for the most part

>>840794
When archiving I think it's important to scrub identifying data where possible. In some cases it's just common sense, like scrubbing IPs from logs

>>840562
It's pretty sad to hear.
We're this close to lose internet culture.
