Just as we prepare wills for our physical possessions, we need to plan for our digital remains.

I’m just trying to figure out a way to keep my 20+ tb of Linux isos curated and still accessible.

"You can’t remember their favourite song, so you try to login to their Spotify account. Then you realise the account login is inaccessible, and with it has gone their personal history of Spotify playlists, annual “wrapped” analytics, and liked songs curated to reflect their taste, memories, and identity"
Instead you could track your listening habits on ListenBrainz. In doing so you safeguard yourself from Spotify ever restricting access to your data, data which they consider theirs. For ListenBrainz of course you must be willing to share your data freely, but it will be for the benefit of all, whilst if you don't it will only be used for the benefit of Spotify corporates. You'll help facilitate a healthy online music ecosystem, because people can built apps on top of the ListenBrainz dataset. You can get recommendations from algorithms of your choice instead of having to rely on Spotifys algorithms.
Not working for Listenbrainz in any way, just an enthousiastic user that plugs it when he sees fit

Privacy first is my only path. There are a lot of privacyless solutions for this, and they're all dead to me. The obsidian route is pretty cool. Personally, I don't care to chat with it, but I like the auto-tags and auto-summaries.
Looked through the plugins and found this: https://github.com/niehu2018/obsidian-ai-tagger-universe

Doesn't archive.org provide that?
In theory yes, but not a lot of people are uploading their family photo albums AFAIK.

Deal. Let's setup dead man's switches that will DM our passwords to one another if we fail to log in for a week.

My mother passed away before the internet evolved into something a middle aged woman would enjoy using.
I went searching for anything I could find, and I did manage to come across an ancient website for alumni of her highschool where her name and email were listed. Sort of blew my mind, she'd obviously come across the website and emailed the admin to add her contact info.
This would've been 8 or 9 years before Facebook blew up. Man, she would've loved Facebook and Farmville. She'd probably be doing Wordle every day and be a Rachel Maddow wine mom if she'd survived.
How much I wish she'd had a significant online presence so I could look her up and sort of connect with her again in some way.

I flat out told my family “when I die, just burn it all down and buy basic consumer stuff.
There’s no way my tech would survive for more than a handful of years without a proper sysadmin, and the entire thing would be two dead HDDs away from total data loss.

I hate how true this is.

Send me your passwords. I'll notify you when either of you stop commenting for an unusually-long period of time.

At least for the 2 years I'm using it
Found it in my settings, not sure how I’ve missed it. Been a Bitwarden user since the first LastPass hack.
