Apropos of everything, I’m finally being more proactive about making regular local backups of my data from websites/services I trust but would still be devastated to unexpectedly have lost forever, e.g. Flickr, Mastodon, Letterboxd, LibraryThing, Discogs, last.fm, my web hosting companies, etc.
What a stupid timeline we live in where this seems like an urgent necessity.
