None of what he wrote mitigates the case where he no longer maintains his site and stops paying for the server, which is the very reason all those links he mentioned were dead (defunct websites/hosts).
- jtbayly 7y agoBut if you kept it simple in the first place, you can easily do the work necessary to keep it online, and are thus more likely to do it. The moment you have to struggle with NPM dependencies to switch hosts, it’s all over. If all you have is a bit of html, no problem.

WE can happily maintain a range of things, but a chemistry doctoral student will hit a hurdle and may give up. Paying for a server - mentioned in the article about the provider changing access. its all about hurdles.
