I noticed a lot of links dissapear over the years and this keeps the info more memorable anyway. As it forces you to at least lightly process the data mentally.

In the future I'd like to maintain a link log or something similar on my personal website like some people do:

- https://matklad.github.io/links.html

- https://dotat.at/:/

- https://til.simonwillison.net/

The weird thing about saved links in my case is that I get the most satisfaction out of them when I share them with friends and so on, a bit of "Hey! I think this might be helpful, here you go" and that ends up being the extent of that particular link's usefulness for myself most of the time. Of course I can't accurately gauge how helpful it actually is for the other person.

Save every webpage I view - using browser extensions for several years..

Then when I want to recall something, just search for it. I worked out the storage space required once, my recollection is its one or 2 terabyte's a year

As a backup, I use history trends unlimited for about the last 3 years. I used to use pinboard archiving, but when my saved webpages got to a large number. I stopped using it, as I thought it was abusing the unlimited service offered. I loaded about 5 years of saved browser links into pinboard.
