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.

Do you use USBs for anything? (alien.top)

Stumbled across a deal for 10 64 GB USBs for 12 bucks. Figured it was so cheap that it can’t possibly hurt to have them, but now I’m wondering if they’re particularly useful for anyone?

Load them with pictures of you and a friend or family together and give them to the person as a gift for Christmas
