      Thank you fellow internet user. When I had my first kid I was absolutely dumbfounded to see the spelling. Thought it was old age…

    People, if you’re not archiving the stuff on the internet you really care about, you’re really going to miss it when it’s gone—and more often than not it is “when” and not “if”.

    You can get a 8tb external HDD for about £100 (and obviously smaller for a little bit less). It’s not an ideal preservation solution but it’s better than nothing (obvs set up a proper NAS with redundant storage if you’ve got the desire and money).

    Niche TV shows, weird websites, helpful YouTube videos, Wikipedia (yes you can download Wikipedia), whatever it is, it’s really not much effort to make sure something you might miss won’t disappear without a chance for you to save it.

    And use the rest of the free space on the disk to back up important stuff you’ve only got on a cloud storage (or even just local to a single device). Don’t only keep your photos in cloud storage.

    Non-anime non-small-kid animation, especially series. (8-adult is fine, no porn)

    I have a pretty big collection so far (tho I’ve not yet acquired much from before the 80s cuz I don’t really care for most of it) so I’m off to a good start in preservation :)

        Depends heavily what you are interested in.

        What sort of thing have you watched and enjoyed?

        However, for more general-purpose, less super well known (as far as I’m aware), recommendations, I really enjoyed:

        • wolfboy and the everything factory (big owl house/amphibia vibes)
        • invincible fight girl (just came out)
        • Gary and his demons
        • kite man hell yeah
        • exploding kittens
        • Carol and the end of the world
        • unicorn warriors eternal
        • pantheon
        • little demon
        • disventure camp season 1 (2 is… meh)
        • camp camp
        • centaurworld
        • monsters at work
        • elliot from earth
        • glitch techs
        • hazbin hotel
        • undone
        • infinity train
        • human discoveries (dumb but enjoyable)
        • hilda
        • ugly americans

        I’m gunna arbitrarily stop here, I have a lot more recs if those don’t suit your taste, as those are mostly just things that have come out since 2019.

          This already looks terrific. I’m deeply in love with Hilda and Pantheon is already on my list, so this seems to be like a great list for me to explore. Thank you so much.
