I agree. I recommend most people don't go overboard, but they can still do their part.

Save the things you like and are relevant to you. Movies, shows, games, music, books, etc. You don't have to be an archivist. Storing data should be something that reflects you, personally, and it should genuinely be more enjoyable as a result.

It should feel good to preserve and be responsible for another copy of the information you like.

Music is a no brainer for me since it's something that is infinitely re-enjoyable (if that's a word) and it doesn't have to take up much space, without reasonable compromises to quality.

I bought a digital audio player last year so that I could be offline and disconnected when I go out but still enjoy music. One of my favourite purchases the last few years.

Don't think you need to add the suffix. You re-enjoy the old things.

Instructions unclear, setup personal Project Gutenberg mirror.

(Started months ago, actually. Their main archive server isn't very fast.)
