Nice read. Am a fan of this idea still. 11y later and it doesn't seem like it happened but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Who knows. I think it would be great if everyone maintained their own slice.

The obvious canidite completely not mentioned being onion services which make building the hypothetical web he writes about simple today.

The author of the article linked here demoed his Onion service-based WordPress app this year at DWeb Camp:

The extra trick that Brewster uses here is that by sharing your Onion service's private key with someone you trust, they can take over hosting your website when your computer goes offline.
