I’ve been writing about future-safe archives for many years, a way to put down $10K or so, and guarantee best efforts to keep my web presence going long after my death. But I expected it would be implemented by a long-lived university with the help of an insurance company, which is by definition a long-lived entity. It’s good that Automattic is thinking about this (there is no published plan, so far just an idea), maybe they’ll seek a partnership with Harvard or Oxford, or Lloyds of London. #
