   @cwebber @alcinnz This is why I have mirrors (via git or rsync) of websites and other media that I want to keep, even for reasons other than the author's being incapacitated.

     @cwebber @alcinnz By the way:
     > It’s difficult to keep track of which pages depend on which others and regenerate them correctly when they change.
     
     To answer's Aaron question because I'm sure others will wonder: Typically the way is to use a Makefile or equivalent build-system, but I guess these days generating hundreds if not thousand of pages can be fast enough.
     (Which reminds me that the slow part of my clobbered together website is compressing some big pages with brotli)

     Sounds interesting, near-catastrophes are often fun to read and they often make you learn from other's mistakes.

     @lanodan @alcinnz @cwebber Started this myself.

     Inspired by Lobsang of The Long Earth series.

     „One cannot have enough backups“.

     Also KDE's near catastrophe a decade ago or so (let me know if you want a link).

     Not only Wayback machine because link rot (at least on my end. Checking right now. How fitting) but also the page received several updates. Some of which replaced the original postmortem.
