      Browsing my <=2012 links for feeding my subreddit, maybe a quarter are redirected, paywalled, moved elsewhere, deleted, or the whole site is just... gone. It would be much worse if I hadn't started archiving (https://www.gwern.net/Archiving-URLs ) back then for making copies.

      But as I mirror pages & websites & PDFs, http://gwern.net  increasingly feels like a museum, or mausoleum. A gradually accreting memorial to what I liked on the Internet of old: 'Behold!' So much gone. Where are those I remember now, the inactive, the vanished, or the dead?
