Data Hoarder

11 readers

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.

It's worth it to hoard anything.

Except for CP of course.

Even CP worth hoarding... if you are one of those dudes working on filters to detect it

don't ask woman about her age

don't ask man about his salary

don't ask ML specialist how they made model capable of detecting illegal content

I'd add:

don't ask the sysadmin why they had to go testify in court

It's never good.
