Ask HN: How to make the WWW a more permanent place?
I often find myself clicking links, only to be greeted by a 404 or something similar. Archive.org doesn't help always (not archived, site wasn't static, etc.).
Thoughts on that issue?
- neilellis 11y agoThe best answer to this I've come across is the idea of a P2P web (ala Bittorrent). If the assets are hashed then every version of a website (potentially) would be out there for you to retrieve. Then Archive.org would actually just be another P2P node to help guarantee content from becoming peerless. I honestly wish sometimes we could re-architect the web to use P2P instead of point-to-point communication. It would be a lot harder to censor for a start.
