Good ole fashioned books. I understand documentation of events is good, but it's nothing without knowledge. I buy college textbooks from thrift stores. Build a library. My daughter's friend's parents are liberal and are doing the same thing. It's coming, the only question is when
I agree, I have over 800 books so far, for the inevitable.
But my archive server is in what I think is an EMP proof area, with only one CAT 5 & a power cable to a UPS going to it. It will be powered off when / if the SHTF, to be used to rebuild if necessary.
Kiwix has the Gutenberg library, and other books. As well as WikiMed, USArmy field medicine guides etc. I also have schooling materials for kids, and absolutely no books that were burned in Berlin in the 1930's.
I download to thumb drives and upload to an older computer that works beautiful. I have numerous books, studies and other similar materials. It has no camera, no WiFi and in a somewhat EMP proof area. I've printed out what I believe to be truly important information
I have been doing the same thing. I also buy political books, How to Books. I have over 400 books right now, but I am still working on it. Also, canning food books.
I find a lot on School Auctions (www.PublicSurplus.com)
I also buy from www.BookDepot.com (VERY discounted)
The ONLY reason I will go to Good Will is to get the already marked down books at $2.00 are marked 1/2 off on the first day of the color of the week day.
Anna's Archive looks VERY interesting. I will chat with my brother to see if we can help.
Time for some geek hardware buying.
The big issue would be the initial seeding of the total package (873TB = 48x18TB drives = 48x€350 = €16K. Ouch.). Defo don't have that in the kitty at the moment. Also the power requirements for that would be large (keeping 50 drives alive 24/7 + the server).
Might look at breaking it down as they suggest. 50Tb+ would be doable for now. A new Unraid box with 6x18TB could help. Bandwidth being our enemy here. I will enquire if they do hard copies (DVD / USB) for initial seeding purposes.
Always a good idea. I must look into this more closely, because as you rightly mention, I am still reliant on hard drives, which although are server / NAS quality, they are delicate little flowers.
I swear by the 3-2-1 backup philosophy. My home server is mirrored to a box in my office. An rsync script backup's everything every night. It's a 1:1 copy of the data.
Currently I have 150Tb storage capacity with 105Tb used. I am migrating onto 18Tb drives for the 12's I have used for a few years.
Pretty happy with the utilities within Jdownloader2. As long as you can view a video without signing in etc in your browser (age restriction etc), it can be downloaded. That covers YT, Rumble, Bitchute etc. FB can sometimes be tricky but you can pull them down too.
Critical/import videos people spent days or weeks compiling are nixxed every day... just look at how many "video no longer available" responses you run into when doing research/a deep dig and you really want that bit of information... Many times there's another source, but in some cases it's been completely scrubbed... There's nothing better than serving up your own archived stuff...
VLC is another one that will let you save video, but it's a bit convoluted and you need the specific video link....JDL2 automates that drudgery for you. It does other formats too, not just video.
Browser Plugins... Firefox used to have "download them all" that would let you pull down multiple files listed on a site at once rather than needing to click on each and wait for max num of dls to complete before clicking on the next set. It automatically throttles/manages max concurrent... I'm sure there's a newer version now, otherwise JDL2 is the next best thing.
“Archive offline” meant, to me, to use non-digitized methods for Q drops, and every link (left available) used. 100% offline. Just ink, printer, and paper
I wrote this bookmarklet that displays the exact UTC timestamps for the posts. It also allows the timestamp to be copied with the rest of the post. You can see the UTC timestamps by hovering your mouse over the "X hours" text but that doesn't work for screenshots. It no longer works on p.win and never worked on c.win. The new code for c.win does some weird mouse-over detection that totally breaks what I was doing.
Also, kudos to the original thedonald.win developers for making a site that copy and pastes well. It's superior to X and Truth. I archive select posts in LibreOffice Writer.
Also use yt-dlp to archive videos. It's good to add --add-metadata and --write-auto-subs as otherwise it's almost impossible to search the content of a video. And maybe --write-description.
It's a super pain in the 🫏 but if you're technically inclined you can run your own zimit. I tried the online service and it took a week to run.
One of the other docker containers I have is "Tube Archivist", it's a pretty frontend for yt-dlp. It also provides a very good searchable database, comments & metadata.
I now have 50.1Tb of Youtube videos, a lot of the channels have been scrubbed since I started a few years ago, so it's a great resource.
Interesting, I'll have to check that out. I have a youtube-dl server docker running on my unRaid server to grab interesting videos I found that they like to scrub from the internet. I have a reverse proxy to it so I can drop a link on any device when I'm away from home.
Thanks, I didn't mention it but I added that a month or so ago. Good for archiving entire channels. I use yt-dl for dropping random video links as it supports every platform, of course it isn't as well organized as TA.
Just be careful. The other night I downloaded a compilation of Joe M's videos and my laptop went cuckoo. Took me a couple of hours to get it straight. Ran 5 scans that night and 1 each day since just to make sure there was no malware/virus/Trojan horse left over.
Numerous Q posts told us to archive offline, some useful tools for Anons;
Best archiving tool for self hosted, searchable archives. https://kiwix.org/en/
List of available off the shelf archives; https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=&q=
Create your own archive of websites; https://zimit.kiwix.org/
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Love the open source community. Linux and BSD for the win!
Thanks, never heard of this, over to Youtube to check it out now...
used to download entire site, except for database pages I think

Thank you... I'm unfamiliar with all of these

And.... I also find A LOT on www.scribd.com.
go to qagg.news and just hit the download all drops option from the menu
HaHa, I never saw that before!!
Anyone got a couple hundred TB of extra space on their systems? looks like they need seeders :-D
lol

Get a cheap CD/DVD burner, likely minimum lifespan of media 50-100 years(likely much longer) and 100% EMP proof....
Keep what you use on USB's and external HD's, back it up on CD/DVD..
Also cheap enough to have a backup to the backup of your backup.....

Unraid is a blessing.

Glad peeps know how to do this stuff
That's all online...
My Kixwix server is running in a docker container on my server, it can run offline.
The https://zimit.kiwix.org/ tool to pull sites is an online service, but you need to be online to capture a site in the first instance.
That is a little different than what most would be doing which is using an online archiver not on theor own server.
What hes doing is probably the best idea though.
Did you just mis-gender me?
Only kidding.
lol. I meant He in the traditional sense. Like when the bible uses the term man to refer to people in general. Sorry about the gender, miss.
You did it again.
ITS MISTER MAN.
Ma'am please...😁😁😁
“Archive offline” meant, to me, to use non-digitized methods for Q drops, and every link (left available) used. 100% offline. Just ink, printer, and paper
Thanks! Saving this page to disk.
For example, I have already archived;
https://qagg.news/?q=archive&q2= https://www.stolenhistory.org https://conspiracies.win
And more are in the Q (Pun intended).
It seems Archive dot org is currently down
I have the q posts and the search terms saved and archived.
I wrote this bookmarklet that displays the exact UTC timestamps for the posts. It also allows the timestamp to be copied with the rest of the post. You can see the UTC timestamps by hovering your mouse over the "X hours" text but that doesn't work for screenshots. It no longer works on p.win and never worked on c.win. The new code for c.win does some weird mouse-over detection that totally breaks what I was doing.
Also, kudos to the original thedonald.win developers for making a site that copy and pastes well. It's superior to X and Truth. I archive select posts in LibreOffice Writer.
javascript:(function(){ const collection=document.getElementsByClassName('timeago'); for(i=0;i<collection.length;i++) { console.warn(collection[i]); collection[i].nextSibling.textContent=" "+collection[i].title+" "; } })();
Also use yt-dlp to archive videos. It's good to add --add-metadata and --write-auto-subs as otherwise it's almost impossible to search the content of a video. And maybe --write-description.

Try "Tube Archivist", thank me later.
I was in sarky teenager mode.
I thought that's how they say it.
Thank me now, payment in beer preferably.
I'm 12
I'm 15 going on 50+
Knees bad. Use NAC. Liver bad. Limit drinking. Wrinkles. Oh well.
Brain sharp. Read books. Spiritual. Random bible verse 3x a day.

What's that?
tools for archiving - thanks
