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.

My issue with this is that a good chunk of the older tabs end up pointing to 404 errors. I wish it were possible to load the version that was cached when I first visitted a given page, like a local Wayback machine( I also wish that were more aggressive about pulling in pages ...).

Then there's Amazon letting vendors reuse product codes so some pages end up pointing to things I know I've never looked at before and would never try to save like so.

If you're into selfhosting there is an alternative self-hosted Wayback machine.

Or you can use something like wallabag

And there is also a Firefox extension that let's your download a whole web site as a single html file .

Finally, there's Linkding who recently add local copy of your bookmarks.
