Split off from Migrating WordPress
Short answer: There might be ways to import something large, but it’s far easier to reduce the size of your database.

Migrating WordPress from one web hosting company to another.
The goal is to have a blog installation which is active and working, and will never be disabled and cannot be damaged in any way, and to copy it to a new place. For my tests, I used an entirely new host using a new “practice” domain name.

dvdfab.cn
An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.
I’ve used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.
PlayStation 2, USB >
Where:
- You own a PlayStation 2
-
You own official PlayStation 2 discs
- PlayStation 1 discs will also be researched.
The use cases are much the same as with DVD ripping:
- Back discs up before disc rot sets in.
-
Rip discs and keep them safe
- e.g. parents with little kids who damage discs.
-
Playing on a PlayStation 2 which has a broken DVD drive.
I never really got around to pursuing this as a proper project.

Cornerstone websites are gone.
I didn’t look too far into things, but there are definitely very large changes since I was “into” Ruby, back in mid-2006.

A distributed backup of The Internet Archive.
Aside from donating to The Internet Archive, offering disk space is the least someone can to do.

was github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube
A cross-browser script that adds a button to download YouTube videos as MP4 and FLV files. This script downloads the videos directly from YouTube and it integrates with YouTube’s interface.
It creates a button under the video, to the left of “Add to”.
Indispensable!

People comment on old content as though its producer still holds a position. Hell, they comment as though its producer still remembers the content.
This is especially true for those who themselves don’t create content. There are many differences between content creators and consumers which make them understand and react to things quite differently.

Not surprising.
There are plenty of good (and bad) bands and songs that both you and I haven’t heard of.
