To some degree, this is why some sites use services like archive.is to link to third party sites, because the archiving service will keep a cached version of the page even if the original source goes down. Maybe this could be the solution for certain cases? Okay, it won't be super popular with all site owners (they'd rather traffic came to their sites directly so their ads were viewed), but it's certainly more stable.
- bigbugbag 11y agoThis is worse as centralizing creates a single point of failure over which you have no control. Specifically archive.is has repeatedly taken a stance against going opensource and offering a self-hosting solution while being privately funded with no option for you to take part in it. Archive.org or maybe something like wallabag or even a screenshot, but anyways to work around link rot one is better off with a local cached copy.
