Bit and link rot is real, and with modern services any content can disappear from one day to the next.

I do the following:

1. Download any video content I want to keep with YouTube-dl

2. Download any code repo that is important to me

3. Submit every article I find interesting on the web to archive.org

4. Keep many papers and ebooks as PDF (pdfgrep ftw)

5. Keep copious notes on anything that affects my work routines and methodologies

It might not be sufficient, but it is something.
