I found it useful to screenrecord all my computer activity. It is OCR searchable. This way if I vaguely remember some bits, I can reconstruct my sources. It also preserves original text, in case sources get edited.
- orliesaurus 3y agoWhat tool do you use?
- cole-k 3y agoI've thought about this or something similar (e.g. ArchiveBox). It seems like 95-99% of the content you archive will be junk that you never look at again, but that 1-4% really might be worth it. Especially if it gets taken down. What do you do for storage, though? I haven't invested in a NAS or personal storage over 1TB. I think I understand now why some of these archive utilities offer you the option to upload to the internet archive in addition to storing locally. You can build up a local cache and then start removing the oldest page snapshots (but keep the link trail) once you start to run out of space.
- BMc2020 3y agoI tried something similar, I had a text file called mylog.txt and whenever I hit alt + m it would append whatever was in the clipboard to the text file along with the date & time. But it turned out I was terrible at predicting what I would want to find again and it turned out to be not very useful to me.
