Data Hoarder

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.

Anything you find value in keeping safe is worth saving

I have a tron.ipa app from my 4th generation ipod touch that I have in case my ipod breaks and I have to get another one. I bought a Monster brand Tron light disc ipod dock, and the lighting effects only work with the tron app. Useless to probably 99.9% of people, but priceless to me.
