Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You could screenshot or SingleFile it and save it in raindrop manually, but I wouldn't do that for PII-related records. I use SingleFile to save interactions with businesses, account snapshots, and other things that would get lost in the ether, but I would never upload those anywhere without client side encryption.
SingleFile can be configured to save directly to ArchiveBox and other backends. Recoll has its own browser extension that can index everything you search locally.
They all have tradeoffs. That's why ArchiveBox has several methods for archiving. Screenshots are a 1:1 visual copy but have size limits, and are an expensive way to archive without heavy compression. SingleFile does not work sometimes (ebay listings), or are huge with poorly optimised or image heavy sites, but issues can often be fixed in tweaking settings. Some formats are hard to read on mobile, or harder to index, etc. If someone who works at a computer used Recoll, I suspect the index would get very large, very fast, but it would certainly be useful for a focused research/work/study browser archive.
Ok, OK. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this! Sounds like you really do need to have multiple tools working together. I might try Raindrop/Recoll/SingleFile for something.
