Thank you for these links!

So... This still seems problematic though - if you manually update it, then the hash of the page is going to change, and then you'd need to retrieve a different IPFS item than the original status page. And so on... No? This just seems like an odd loop.

When I manually update my site, that just means I add a file to the git-repository with today's date. Once I commit and push that a Makefile rebuilds my (static) site.

I don't personally use IPFS, but I imagine if I did then I'd have a script to change DNS, or update the hash IPFS uses. I see from other replies that updating the "most recent" version of a site is simple enough that it shouldn't be a problem in practice.

ipfs works by creating a URL based on the hash of the content that you're publishing. so ipfs.io/hash(MYSITEISDOWN) vs ipfs.io/hash(MYSITEISUP)
