With the way sites seem to be deleting and pulling things off the internet or locking it behind ridiculous paywalls (only to then delete it like Infinity Train)

How do you cope with the fear or anxiety that comes with losing those things?

It's just something I've been struggling with lately, especially in how to put it to words. Some of the stuff I like is garbage, but it's really distressing when I think of something to show someone and I find that it's been deleted or the search terms I'd used before only link to ads or reddit-logo, which at this point issame-picture .

I think there's a degree of acceptance I should reach about the loss of information, but it just feels so wrong right now. In a time and at a technological level where that doesn't have to happen.

    Big data storage. If you like some media that's available on the internet and have the ability to store a local copy, it's the only way. I'm waiting for a used HBA SAS card to show up in the mail so I can get my kludged together big boy NAS up and running.
