I was thinking about this exact subject matter the other day. We invest so much time in our digital content but what happens with death? How long can we really expect our content to last? Ultimately we are all dependent on the functionality of the internet and making a physical copy is the best way to make something last. However if we intend to not only have it last but be accessible, some of the suggestions are helpful but the most significant is: where can I host something indefinitely? Will Netlify, Github Pages, AWS, etc all be around in 50 years? 100 years? 500 years? Heck, the internet hasn't even been around for all that long. As I write this, my only thought is that you need a system of fallbacks. Frankly, this seems like a business opportunity in which the cost of the infrastructure is purchased based on some formula. DNS is configured programmatically. File locations are distributed and redundant. I'm not sure what the best approach is but one thing is certain: the page accessibility is the least of this author's issues. He just needs the site to be hosted... |
