Migration pains

One of the things I regret are not being able to migrate some posts from long ago. Basically, Flash. It died and when I can’t find a newer form of the video, it is lost to the ages.

Similar problem when some news sites never migrated video. At best there’s a transcript but often not even that.

Some things age poorly. But not to be a hypocrite, I will keep those posts when possible. At one time these were folks I listened to. Whether they or I changed is up for grabs.

One thing I really find myself doing is over posting images. At times I would make a sampling of images, like a This Modern Met post on Chinese cultural groups. I had only posted about a half dozen originally. This time I put all they had. My on-site data storage is climbing fast but at least I will have the items in question unless *my* servers die.
