Ask HN: How to make my website exist for 100 years? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46642372 The comments are funny, but the question is legitimate. And €38,500 for a 100 years wordpress hosting https://wordpress.com/100-year/ ? I wouldn't trust them.

    @raffaele@digipres.club I definitely wouldn't trust them. Are they even doing anything to make it more likely that WordPress.com will persist for 100 years? At least the @flickrfdn@glammr.us is upfront about the challenges of what it might mean to have a site online for a century. Maybe WP are just needing more money. I think the best answer is printing the website and putting copies of it in multiple physical archives (or at least friends' houses!). But then I'm a #latex_tex nerd. :-P

    @raffaele@digipres.club how long do you guess a website could last online without active human intervention?

  • @raffaele@digipres.club there were a couple of posts last year on this topic that I found good: * On the way to 100 years of Flickr: https://www.flickr.org/report-archiving-the-living-environment/ * If you had to store something for 100 years: https://lil.law.harvard.edu/century-scale-storage/
