<h1>Saving This Website</h1>

<p>This website was originally only hosted on my Luan server and source kept on my Mercurial hosting service.  But since <a href="Programming_Is_Hopeless.html">programming is hopeless</a> and all modern scum programmers hate my software, I have to assume that these hosting options will disappear.  So to save this website, I have to make it independent of my software.</p>

<p>This website was first implemented in Luan.  I have made this website purely HTML, CSS, and Javascript.  In other words, everything runs in the browser.  This eliminates the dependency on Luan.</p>

<p>Next I needed backup web hosting and Mercurial hosting.  I chose <a href="https://www.netlify.com/">Netlify</a> for backup web hosting and <a href="https://repositoryhosting.com/">Repository Hosting</a> for Mercurial.  Finding Mercurial hosting was <a href="https://claude.ai/share/b1b541a0-d7fd-41d7-8ee0-cfd688c7df01">a nightmare</a>.</p>

<p>To keep this site alive, I added a <a href="/requirements.html">membership requirement</a> to keep a copy of this site.  I added a web page about <a href="/this.html">this website</a>.  And I added a private website containing passwords and other private info.  With access to these things, any Arkian should be able to keep this website alive.</p>
