Good idea to stash stuff away. I have access to an IT company (I own it) and a fair amount of storage but nothing like Archive!

One day we shall meet on HN and link our Nextcloud instances, links to some weird static HTML and so on and form a new web of information.

The internet (web) will never die, per se, but it does feel awfully siloed off at the moment.

Mind you I do manage to run my company email on prem (Exchange - soz, but HA Proxy fronts its webby stuff and Exim is my SMTP weapon of choice). I also run my family email domain and several others too. No hyper-scalers here, thank you very much.

I'm looking into the fediverse. I think that's where this stuff really belongs - the front pages of the internet have become mega corps. Its all looking a bit half hearted in fediland but Lemmy and Mastodon and co are starting to look quite useful.

The internet is still really diverse and flourishing but it needs a right good kicking as do the users of it.

The Fediverse is definitely where all the stuff belongs. I do use a service for all of this. I pay $12 per a year, and have stashed away quite a lot of stuff there.
