This is why I wrote Timeliner: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner https://github.com/mholt/timeliner - a tool to download all my content from essential cloud services (like Google Photos, etc) -- I don't like to trust the cloud as a master copy of my data.
- dredmorbius 8y agoVery interesting. I've had a thought about a monthly "data preservation day" concept, (on the 11th, because: https://xkcd.com/1140/ https://xkcd.com/1140/, and yes, I know: https://drhagen.com/blog/the-missing-11th-of-the-month/ https://drhagen.com/blog/the-missing-11th-of-the-month/) A multiplatform archival tool would be useful.
- zimpenfish 8y agoI use(d) Perkeep (Camlistore) for this but the current version is broken wrt Pleroma (which might be Pleroma's fault) and Pinboard. I'll definitely give Timeliner (and possibly a Pinboard datasource) to fill in the gaps.
- hiei 8y agoThis tool appears to be great! One question though, what does your storing solution look like?
- nitemice 8y agoI've been amassing a collection of scripts to basically do the same thing over the last couple of months, just running them all once a month with cron. None of the services I've been backing up (Goodreads, Trakt, DeviantArt, Tumblr) are currently covered by Timeliner, but the extra twist of assembling all your data into a single timeline sounds kinda cool, so maybe it's worth contributing a few data sources.
