Data Hoarder

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.

Hours worth of archived television programming across multiple channels on the night before 9/11, as a documentation of the final day of a certain time and era. The original broadcasted commercials are of course included. Revisit that night on your own time and take a trip back to get sucked back into the last day of the normalcy of 2001.

This media is highly important to preserve. It represents the calm before the storm and acts as a time-capsule. Keep these saved and preserved.

Wow. The Training Day commercial at 29:29. It was SUPPOSED to be released, September 21, it wound up releasing October 5, no doubt because of the 11th.

Thank you for posting this.
