> I've been thinking of the best way to make a website that won't die when I die.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the same, and eventually had to ask myself: why do I care? (This is just my personal reflection, not an indictment of your goals. I'm a fatalist.)

If I have to go to the trouble of setting up a 100-year trust to maintain a digital presence after my death because nobody else finds what I have to say compelling enough to archive on its own merit, is it worth preserving? Or am I just wasting my time, adding more debris to float around in [cyber]space?

Blockchain would have been useful here. Everyone could share in the storage of collective, immutable history. But all of it is lost when some trillionaire inevitably decides to start a competing, incompatible product with a flashier UI.

For fun, of course. The heat death of the universe means it’s the only true motive. Holding an uptime world record is pretty compelling, at least to me.
