You forgot your friend Anna in the picture.
I only download stuff from there that I’m highly motivated to read because I feel bad for wasting the bandwidth otherwise
People who archive do it to make sure things are not permanently lost to corporate greed.
You think I’m archiving?
Friend, I’m wholly in this image, filled with shame, but honest enough to admit it.
The linked sites? Those aren’t the subject of the meme, they’re some of the suppliers for my uncontrolled addiction to reading the first paragraph of something, thinking I might want to reference it later and then hitting download and never, ever returning.
It does go in a folder which is never cleaned though, which remains entirely unorganized.
Save it before AI rewrites it
Get the declassified military manuals before they are slopified
Cant I just be in the War Thunder discord? Just wait a few days and you can probably download all of them in one go
That’s where you get the classified docs
Which would recommend adding to my hoard?
The following stand out to me
- Ranger Handbook TC3-21.76
- Special Reconnaissance and Advanced Small Unit Patrolling
- operations in a low intensity conflict - FM 7-98
- Doctrine for Special Forces Operations - FM 31 20
- TM-21-210-Improvised-Munitions-Handbook
- Fm 31 20 5 special reconnaissance tactics techniques procedures for special forces
More like the fascist state is going to purge the entire internet of everything except their shitty subscription based llms, so you won’t be able to get any real information anymore. 10 years maybe? Internet will be dead.
Read it all, no, won’t live long enough. Grep (or full index) it all to find something obscure, priceless.
Hey now, I have a huge number of books I have never read but I do need them sometimes, like what the reluctance of 336 stainless that some Dingdong wants to install on this 500kv transformer? That is a book publishled in 1993 that I have looked through once to find that exact thing. Don’t want random pieces of hot metal attached to the equipment.
Does never watch/listen to count?
Hey now my paperless-ngx is filled with documents I have definitely read… the title of.
Man, I got shop drawings of steam engines I know I will never build. The problem is I just like opening them up and looking at them. They are my precious.
Oh…am not the only one I see
Make sure to seed them
I downloaded PDFs of art books I use all the time.
