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.

I’ve been silently moaning about the transfer speeds to my storage devices.

Only today did I think to plug the network cable directly into the mesh satellite and not into a switch and over Powerline. 10x speed boost.

I’m an idiot and I’m posting here so I don’t get too cocky next time.

Feel free to laugh.

lol this is the data hoarding equivalent of plugging your monitor into your motherboard instead of your GPU

I started doing that when I bought my first PC, and now I have a career in IT. Hope it's a pattern and not a fluke!
