       Link rot is so very, very real. I just visited a site that 'archives' articles from 2015. The majority of links no longer works.What to do? You could archive pages, and link to the archived pages (I've seen many people do this). But how durable is that? Will those archival sites exist still in 10 years time? I'm used to consulting books that are centuries old. That we're unable now to archive digital stuff for longer than a couple of years is terrifying. #archives #digitalhumanities

       @msteenhagen Sounds like you have your own solution, archive in print. Store in a library.

       @msteenhagen this is why the internet archive is so vital, as are data hoarders

       @msteenhagen This is well-known, and Roy T Fielding (author of HTTP spec, Apache web server pioneer, ++) warned about this in the 1990s, and promoted that all links was "dated", i.e.http://hedhman.org/1998/12/my-info-page.htmland that one never removed old content, to preserve links forever.Can't find the source, maybe it was just on a mailing list.
