Tired: static linking for software libraries.
Wired: static linking for web pages.
For example, tech blogger Gwern keeps a local copy of almost all externally linked web pages so they will still be readable decades later. https://www.gwern.net/Design Perhaps more people should do that.
@niconiconi my static site generator (https://github.com/betodealmeida/nefelibata/) calls archive.org to save externally linked pages for the same reason. It also calls archive.org to save the main page and the post page every time there's a new post.
It also downloads external images, replacing the links with local ones. The goal is the same: persistence.
We know we are doomed when PDFs are much more readable and portable than webpages.
