What's the best way to automatically archive all of the data I produce on websites? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, and so on. At some point these services will disappear, and I want to preserve them.
I know a lot of these sites have archiving features, but want something centralised and automatic.
- donpdonp 9y agoThe IndieWeb(.org) group recommends 'Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere' (https://indieweb.org/POSSE https://indieweb.org/POSSE) that you might find interesting.
- aethertron 9y agoThe hypothetical system that makes most sense to me for this: a process that runs 24/7 on a server, watching your feeds on those services. Grabbing and saving everything via APIs or screen-scraping.
- fiatjaf 9y agoIs that creepy resource-eater bug-prone service what makes most sense to you?
- aethertron 9y agoYes. Why do you call it 'creepy'? It's supposed to be a personal service, owned and controlled by the user who wants to archive stuff. And all computations consume resources, and may have bugs. So what? They can be optimised. Bugs can get fixed. The process would, ideally, auto-update.
