nice, do you know other such websites but about topics other than vintage cars ... i think our internet today has become too boring as most people just visit the same 5 to 6 sites (YouTube , reddit , wiki , insta , twitter , and twitch) and call it a day .... websites like these make me curious about the days when we had separate websites like these for such niche content

most libraries lack 90% of collective human knowledge and most libraries today (in asia particularly) are pretty shit in number and quality of books .. Wikipedia yes but still it can be manipulated by rich people or government for their own interests
read the query again
yes archive.org is pretty good in finding some very obscure and rare movie from 30s or 40s or some old books or niche software or music but most of the things on it are webpages and 100s of copies of the same webpage in different times (not very useful in a post apocalyptic world tho as most of the things on the archived websites you can't even click because its only a snapshot )
z-lib is still up and the best option in my opinion ... you have to just get the right domain not the fake ones
"On July 6, 2022, an explosive device was detonated at the site, destroying the Swahili/Hindi language slab and causing significant damage to the capstone. Nearby residents reportedly heard and felt explosions at around 4:00 a.m" the rocks got destroyed by a mere explosive and they thought it could survive a nuclear war lol
you can read pretty much (except the lost media like those lost in library burnings , film destruction and wars) read any book written by humans since 2500 bce (example Rig Veda the first ved of Hinduism was written even before 2500 and is today said to be 98% at its original state thanks to Indian gurus and saints who passed it on orally and was made into a book only after 8th century) , watch any movie ever released , hear any music ever made after recording was invented .
ofcourse there is a catch that these medias are not freely and publicly available and most you have to pirate in order to consume it thus we need to have a centralised database of these things safely kept somewhere so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel in case of a catastrophic event .
so why did they slowly died out and these platforms even after so many years are still standing (except lemmy obv)
AI ruined google , it so sad to see the current state of the internet ... there used to be so many articles with real effort being put in written by people with real passion for their field of knowledge .... now if you want a genuine answer either you have to reddit it or search for a article written by a genuinely knowledgeable person (which is very hard as they get often burried upon by AI writen shit articles)
People who write on reddit dont produce the info themselves instead they would have also reffered to some book / article (mostly articles) thus reading the articles will give you more info about the topic .... just remember before reading the blog/article see the author and his/her qualification , most articles give a brief info about the writer at the top ... just make sure that person is genuinely knowledgeable on the topic .... also avoid AI written articles
instead of using a password manager managed by a PRIVATE ENTITY people should start using bitwarden ... its opensource, free and much more secure and reliable
