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.

Long-term storage of hyperlinks for future reference? (alien.top)

I frequently just email myself links to sites or articles I find helpful (usually some permalink to a specific comment buried deep in a thread that was the answer to some technical issue I had). There are probably close to a hundred of them now in my email. Do y'all have a more efficient / effective way to store these and some notes to self with them that won't keep eating up inbox space? Also looking for a solution that isn't OS specific, and accessible on any device via cloud-something. Solutions?

The storing of hyperlinks is fine and dandy as long as the site stays up

Saving the web page means you will always have it.

Absolutely, copy the source.
