Some of us may spend a lot of time on various websites, posting text and images.
That can all be erased if someone in a high position doesn't like you or what you have to say. If they want, they can block and erase you from their server, causing all your hard work to vanish into thin air (or never see the light of day again).
WHY DO YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE YOUR DATA? SO YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE IT AGAIN INSTEAD OF RE-CREATING FROM SCRATCH
This post is a few links to a few websites so you can always request your data and download it.

For https://greatawakening.win, unfortunately we, (nor scored.co) have any way to download your data, however i created a python script to export your data [TEXT ONLY though - no pics, but links!], which you can use python3 to run (assuming you trust me that much - don't blindly trust anyone, even me), the code is here: https://github.com/Fatality-GAW/User_Post_and_Comment_Scraper/blob/main/Fatality_GAW_User_Post%26Comment_Scraper.py

One addendum I'd like to add is that if you pretend you are from EU, you can claim your data, you don't have to be in EU, but you can play it like you are in EU and plan to talk to the authorities if a site doesn't give you your data.
If any of you respond with some other social media sites and how to get your data, I'll add them in.
Sticky this shit brotha! This is a very helpful post for all of us!
I'd like to download or export all the posts I saved here on gaw.
You could try looking on here to see if there are any stored..

High quality post!
I think you'll find everyone's posts on here are captured on the wayback machine. Spooked the hell out of me when I found out.
Yeah I noticed there's a shit ton of mine on there too. Was something like 300 saves I think. I wonder what it's up to now 🤣
Edit:
Just checked again, 763 times now!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but only two in 2024. Curious how the archives slowed down and almost stopped for everybody late last year into this year.
I came to the conclusion that if we’re all going to face judgment before the throne at some point, and on a lot more data than this, what’s the sense in caring about this little bit?
I could care less what beta cuck archives my posts honestly. I just like the fact I lived rent free in their head for so long lol. I find it hilarious actually. I did notice that huge drop off in 2024 too.
These are generally manually triggered.
So someone may have been triggered with what we speak of here, trying to capture all of our information to use against us.
Thank YOU Fataliy! A timely reminder and especially for creating a script for GAW! ✨👏
First things first: Thank you, Fatality, for posting this. It is very useful and comes in handy!
For those on linux: CTRL+ ALT + T = open konsole [bin/bash] Or you may want to use the graphical user interface: synaptic or equivalent name to your distro and look for bs4. [commands are for debian/ubuntu based distro's. If you happen to run a different one, append the command to your distro]
2.create location to save: navigate to the right spot:
a. cd ~/path_to_your_desired_location
b. mkdir savespace
note: keep original, and cp ( copy) with a new name.
Since it is a csv, it may be possible to import it into a database of your own making:
csv-files are basically comma-delimited-text files. If you want to learn more, in Excel, or spreadsheet application: use import text, or text2columns. You'll see that you can use several delimiters: the usual: ", tab, komma, etc, but, you can also define your own, like a $ or any letter.
available:
Data&time; comment, link, topic, user posting the comment, etc.
Enjoy!
Good stuff thanks for unpacking the technical details.
For windows users, i believe you can download Python3 @ https://www.python.org/downloads/ and install..
But how to get bs4... that one is something i haven't done in windows, but this video might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcnc1fQ8c84
After that you should be able to save the script to a folder, and open up a command prompt to navigate to that folder and run
python3 'Fatality_GAW_User_Post&Comment_Scraper.py'This may be helpful: https://scrapeops.io/python-web-scraping-playbook/installing-beautifulsoup/#how-to-install-beautifulsoup-on-windows
Since I am not a windoze-user, perhaps it is necessary to check whether pip is also installed together with python3.
To verify that Python is available on our local machine, we need to open the command line (in Windows search, type cmd and press Enter to open Command Prompt or right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell), type python, and press Enter.
It's worth getting an external hard drive and encrypt it.
I use https://veracrypt.fr instead. It's a program that lets you encrypt files, and also allows you to have hidden partitions.
eg:
use veracrypt with password1 to open
MyHoliday.jpg, and it mounts as a drive with:or you can use veracrypt with password2 to open
MyHoliday.jpg, and it mounts as a drive with:This way if the police are like "we think this is an encrypted folder" and you're forced to give out a password, you give out password1 and no one can see the files in the hidden partition. They can overwrite it though.. so make sure your secret stuff is backed up in another place too.
This is golden advice. Thanks.
WOW Fatality! Nice job! Thanks for this!
Very useful, thank you.
Ty!
Fantastic post and good reminder for myself lol. Also, back up your storage on your devices. There are apps and programs where you can set timed backups of your data. Best practice is to save all your stuff from research in a parent folder with subfolders for each category, and just back that folder up. You can do OneDrive or Google files too, but I would still choose another option in case theres an issue with cloud services. And for the obvious reason that they can delete it at any time or use it as ammo against you for a false charge.
Most importantly, MAKE A LOCAL BACKUP TO AN EXTERNAL DRIVE! Go the extra mile and get a faraday style sleeve for it and put it in a safe
You won’t be the only ‘entity’ downloading and cataloging your data.

How do i use the script? I am not a CS person, sorry.
See my comment above.
Back in 1997 I wrote for Computerword Switzerland an article called "Death of a Harddisk", arguing that eventually every harddisk fails at some point in time. So it is common sense to backup, nothing new! I have since lost many emails from the 90ies etc. And guess what, I do not care. What is really important now, is what I have become, what I know deep inside. Only a few books matter for me anymore, and no, it is not the Bible (although I have many different of it), I now read more buddhist stuff, realizing, that all has been said a long time ago.
