YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I was going to mention ArchiveTeam's warrior because I thought it wouldn't be listed, since computing isn't really the important thing you're donating, more your virgin IP address and internet connection... but it's third on the list!
How much does it spam, if I run it am I likely to get ip banned anywhere?
...Or in trouble for 'visiting' unsavoury sites?
There are always several projects to choose from.
The URLs project plays it fast and loose and archives an assortment of random URLs. This one has an IP block warning.
Some have NSFW warnings.
Other projects aim to archive a single site as accurately as possible (possibly with a deadline when the site is shutting down), so they can't afford to have their warriors blocked or rate limited. If you are, that would be because of an issue. You can choose to archive sites you don't want to visit to avoid issues.
Ah, I thought it was just a monolithic app you set going and have no control over. Ty
np. Right now you could set it to ask.fm (shuts down dec 1.). Zero IP blocking or rate limiting. Puts your machine to good use.
Not all projects listed in the warrior are actually active. Check out https://tracker.archiveteam.org/ for all the current projects and see if the one you want to archive is actually active (has people receiving and sending in items)
Just limit it to one job per session.
I ran 3 continuous jobs while archiving reddit and could still connect without issue.
Finally something I am participating in ;)
