I wonder how we'll do this kind of thing 10 years from now? Web pages have got so complex, even simple blogs etc, that serving them without keeping the infrastructure running is going to get harder and harder...
- blfr 12y agoScrape the website to html and css and toss that up anywhere. Every CMS can be a static site generator if you want it to be.
- kiallmacinnes 12y agoSure, but many of these sites are taken down/replaced, and only years later does nostalgia kick in... At that point, its too late to scrape the site!
- 525 12y agoThat's why archive.org exists.
- lazyjones 12y agoIt will be funny when websites stop working left and right because essential remotely hosted JS files disappear from various free CDN URLs. Perhaps we'll add more cruft to browsers to compensate (i.e. recognize dead CDN URLs and use a list of replacement hosts). Of course, the really old web pages will still work because of fewer/no external dependencies.
- Yetanfou 12y agoBy that time you'll simply include the whole infrastructure in a 'web'-served container, running in a 'sandbox' of sorts on your 'browser'. Quotes where terminology is an unsure fit with whatever you'll be using by that time.
