Hell, he's not even golden!
Those things are lost in the great mines of Morediskspaceia
Better hope none of it is encrypted, he's definitely going to forget that password.

Too late. It's all SSDs already. They're more robust long term.
It’s the meticulous savers you should worry about. The savers smart enough to automate what they save, and fastidious enough to know every sector of what they’ve saved. Those savers may/may not save the whole galaxy.

It's actually pretty selective. Recently tried reading an old webcomic, lots of dead links and the various web archive pages were very incomplete. I'm sure SOMEONE has it saved somewhere, but it doesn't look like they made it easily available to the general public.
i have a deleted webpage in ecosia app
