Just to keep this here, in prep for #linkrot:
> There are some patriotic citizens who sincerely hope that America will win the war - but they also hope that Russia will lose it; and there are some who hope that America will win the war, but that England will lose it; and there are some who hope that America will win the war, but that Roosevelt will lose it.

Just went after hundreds of URLs that didn’t work anymore (updating them to point to archive.org).
While this is routine work for every site owner, it’s astonishing to see how many peers and orgs throw away links—some of them with excellent profiles, others the result of hard work of DevRel teams.
Extra pain to see this when they didn’t own the domain (GitHub, Medium, some such).
Make a point to always set up redirects. It protects your work—and saves others some time.
Been in touch with some "Archivist" working on a comprehensive archive of all the Cybersix material...
They plan to release like a BitTorrent or something to make it easy to share and prevent "Link Rot"...
Excuse me, I'm not that technical...

Link rot continues to be a real scourge on the 'net; in fact, it's worse now than it was when people starting warning about it 30 years ago.
That's why I'm proud that many pages on my main site have not changed in 20 years.
More seriously, donate to the Internet Archive, so they can preserve more of the 'net for posterity.
Gone but Not Forgotten: Recovering the Dead Web
A Pew Research Center study found that 38% of webpages from a decade ago, and about 25% of pages sampled across the decade, are now inaccessible; our analysis shows that the Wayback Machine has rescued roughly 15% of those otherwise dead pages.
