It always seemed like such a regression to me when browsers disabled entire page caches and only ever show the freshest content. Before, if a page served 404, I could easily see my local cached version from my previous visit. Now, I'm shit out of luck.

Is a home a place of both shelter & storage? Are we abandoning a set of possible futures because we want the "convenience" of "someone else" backing up our digital selves/souls?

For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail."
