That "s/w" should be "b/w", of course. My native language being German got the better of me.
I am really just looking for opinions and info what others are doing with "papers" and "ezines". I am just starting to actually organize the cruft that accumulated over the years and which is in no order at all at the moment - scattered across project or customer related folders etc.
Also I intend to systematically download the full backlog of e.g. Journal of Tolkien Research, Mythlore, FreeBSD Journal etc. - all freely available online, but I do not trust online resources and I want to have this stuff somewhere on a local ZFS pool. And then a backup copy on two more ZFS pools ...
For another example - yesterday I found this presentation:
https://www.isc.org/docs/2023kea_custom_options.pdf
I need this now for something I am working on. I also want a place for this where I can find it in ten years should I ever need it again. Not a bookmark. Local storage. That's the point. And I am completely open to *anything*.
Thanks again for all suggestions.
Kind regards,
Patrick
