Brinens and Things – Tumblr Mirror

silver-and-ivory:

On the subject of vaguely paranoid precautions, I would like to be able to contact certain people I know over Tumblr right now even if something happens to Tumblr.

I think this would probably be best achieved individually by simply asking these people for contact information.

I don’t know how it would be accomplished on a larger scale.

Yah. I’m also worried about this. And also the related issue of losing the content I’ve posted here if something happens to this blog. 

Re: losing content, I use this backup-creation program. I’ve scheduled it to run automatically every evening, and once a week I (manually) make a zip copy of the folder to put on my phone as well. (I tried copying the folder without zipping it, but turns out copying tens of thousands of individual files takes an infeasible amount of time.)

You can also use it on blogs other than your own, since it only uses publicly available stuff.

(In addition to that backup, I keep Tumblr messaging logs in a collection of LibreOffice documents–one document per person–and my inbox and outbox are each in documents as well.)
