I have to compliment Jeff for first telling me unpopular things I already believe then adding sensible things to it (except the link back to his page)

The idea ForEach person to write just one single web page is really wonderful. I'm going to have to deeply ponder that and make one.

While I really like the permanent web and losing centralized control over data is a price worth paying (.... no wait, I would pay money not to have this.) the winning method of making cars last 100 years is maintenance not build quality.

That said, here are some similar ideas of mine:

I often add a torrent magnet uri when I link to youtube. I seed those torrents myself and sometimes someone helps. If the content was good enough and yt deletes it for whatever [stooopid] reason there would be more seeds.

Here http://dr-lexus.go-here.nl I, in stead, try to "sell" the idea that [besides from stuff breaking] people use and will use a combination of Adblock Plus, NoScript, RequestPolicy, Ghostery and JSOff to break your stuff.

You can put a really tiny bit of css inline and at least render the page properly if the css fails for whatever reason.

I really dislike how our websites merely provide just one location for everything so I wrote this:

   <img src="http://example.com/img.jpg" 
     data-x="0" 
     onerror="a=[
       'http://example.com/img.jpg',
       'http:/example.com/img2.jpg', 
       'http://img.go-here.nl/michael-faraday.jpg'
     ];
     this.src=a[this.dataset.x++]" >
The page has an example failing back to data-uri which imho looks surprisingly decent for its size. Its way better than having a hole in the page.

Hm I really like the idea of using torrent as a Fail-Safe for media. How do you go about generating a magnet link for your videos?

I'd like to chime in here and suggest you have a look at PeerTube. https://joinpeertube.org/en/

I haven't tried it yet but it uses the BitTorrent protocol for video retrieval, so there is your magnet link? Of course it is self-hosted if you can't find an instance that'll take you, but it might be a good option.
