    I’d also like to think good humanities studies in religion is improving especially on China but still limited for modern Japan.

    I've recently been finding the internet more and more boring as well. I think it started with realizing how bad Reddit was as a company and then as a community through their API choices. Reddit is extremely toxic. This paired with my interest in running servers and FOSS made me move to other options such as Lemmy and Mastodon, but frankly the "Fediverse" is boring and cringe, not just in the naming.

    YouTube and TikTok both have a lot of fun and informational material but at the end of the day who cares, it's too addicting for the actual thing you gain.

    So what's left? There some interesting blogs, Lobsters can be interesting, tildes appears interesting. I've tried index IRC's and shoutboxes but they're mostly racist or mean. I think it's just time to get off the internet. The novel, interesting content feels to be running out and replaced by mean people, corporate interests, and bots.

    Better to pick up a book or actually talk to someone.

    This is a very fun question, thank you!

    I have Pokemon Red and Green Rom copied from my cartridges, that's 1996. I have a drunk family video from my parents 1997, which is very fun. I also somehow still own the moonshine from that evening. The oldest photo file I have from my own hands is 2008. I keep all of these because they're of family value and childhood fun.

    If handwriting counts as a file, I have some class notes from Meiji 29/1895. I have an original photograph from late 19th century and a sketch from prior to photographs, maybe mid 19th century, both of my family. Also, family and research related.
